Why do all the middling counties have loads of posters here?

Cunning Plan and Secret Formula to Win the All-Ireland
==================================

Let A = number of decent footballers in Kildare
Let B = number of decent footballers in Kerry
Let C = number of flourbags on GAA Board
Let D = number of Meath windup merchants

Integrate A and B giving E
Differentiate D by kicking the arse out of it using C
Divide C by D, giving C the high moral ground
Subtract E and just replace B with a white font
Win an All-Ireland

QED

Integrating A and B would not give a single result E. It would give two separate results which would be A/2 and B/2

Differentiating D would give a result = 1, C would not be involved

Dividing C by D would give C (as D = 1 from earlier)

E has no value so subtracting from C makes no effect and you still have C

Replace B with white means you now have B/2 in white

So basically your end result is that Kildare Now have half a team of their own players (A/2) and half a team of Kerry players (B/2 in white) but the number of Flourbags on the GAA Board is a constant number (still C).

is that what you wanted?

Is there an inverse relationship between how successful a county are and the number of posters they have on Gaaboard?
Very few Kerry, Cork and Meath posters yet there's millions of Mayo, Armagh and Cavan posters.
What's that all about? 

ah jinxy you will have to do better than that to wind us up   tis a while since ye were successful. Your clutching at straws to stick youselves in the same category as Kerry and cork , Anyway Banty is doing a great job with ye long may it continue

So it's a time machine that sends us back to the nineties then?

Unless he means differentiate with respect to C, which gives D a value of zero. So by dividing C by D is undefined, which is the exact state of play of Kildare football!.. Neither here nor there!..

[PAULD123]

Its correct that if you differntiate D with respect to C you will get zero but if you then divide C by D you don't get an undefined value, you get infinity. The result of A/2 & B/2 would be the same.

So in this scenario:

The end result is that Kildare Now have half a team of their own players (A/2) and half a team of Kerry players (B/2 in white) but the number of Flourbags on the GAA Board is increased to infinity. Probably with half Kildare and half Kerry then Kildare would indeed win the All-Ireland and the number of Flourbags on this site would indeed increase like infinity.

Oh yeah, and because D = zero, Meath windup merchants disappear altogether

It seems like Orior's purile whimsy actually has a sound mathematical basis after all!!!!!!

[leaveherinsir]

Hasnt been a sniff of a Derry man on this thread yet, is that because we are now going to win the aill ireland after sunday, and remove our good selves from the "middling" category   

[tyssam5]

It was dial-up internet at best last time Meath won anything of note. Maybe if they win something in the broadband era they'll get more posters.

We were a lot better off when we had no internet.
Back then, the only Mayo fan whose opinion I was exposed to was a distant cousin I thankfully only met once in a blue moon.
Many's the wedding/funeral he ruined with his nonsense.

Ah you're of Mayo descent. When did the family move up the country?

You know why, but he found them and moved up too

Never you mind where 'my people' are from.
When I say 'distant cousin' I mean very distant.
'Adopted and kept out the back in a shed' distant.
