Why stop at splitting Dublin. In my opinion we should just have each club in Dublin enter the county championship seperately

Are you in favour of doing the same with Mayo?

Mayo hasn't got 25% of the non Unionist population.

If it was just down to population China would win every sporting event that they cared to enter.

Mayo 's?  ;D

Dublin were around Antrim's level at hurling from the mid 600 to this decade.
This decade they've won  Leinster, a NHL, we're in hard luck not to have made an AI Final and have won a scatter if Leinster Minor and U21s too.
Ido say that's a lot of success after 5 barren decades.
Of the 39,000 registered GAA players in Dublin how many would be primarily hurlers.

Dublin have won 4 provincial u21 in 12  years......5 minor in 13 years......... it's significant progress but if it was as simple as money and gpos surely there Would be an all Ireland minor or u21 if not senior at this stage........... i watched carlow u21s beat a much hyped Dublin u21team in the midst of those "glory " years too

About 5 times more than the 6,400 registered players in those oarts of Roscommon who register with RCB.  ( - the Ballagh who register with the Rhubarbs )

10% of the entire Roscommon population? Wow.

Point proven, as a proportion of population, Dublin are actually at a disadvantage.

Why even bother pretending you're having a discussion when all you want to do is deny the obvious?

Look at the minor result tonight vs Wicklow

Time to divide wicklow into north and south........

We must crush them while they're young.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro

Leinster teams generally have been able to competing well with Dublin at underage level for a long time now and it hasn't made any difference at senior level. It must be a bit of an ordeal for selectors to pick a panel at this level with the playing numbers they have.

Well as I've said repeatedly, the GPOs have not improved the quality of Dublin minors one iota. They increase participation not quality.

On the RTE coverage of the Leinster final O'Rourke said other Leinster counties should be very thankful of the Dubs fans as their ticket money funds coaches all over Leinster. I didn't realise there were GPOs throughout Leinster, or is O'Rourke just talking nonsense?

manfromdelmonte

The likes of Tullamore, Mullingar, Athlone, Newbridge, Portlaoise, Bray, Dundalk, Drogheda deserve their own urban GPO

We need to be maximising participation in urban areas firstly in the schools and then areas of the town's and then the clubs.
Participation benefits clubs hugely through new members and new families joining in.
Counties then benefit from the talent those children will have.
