12 hour later and not a defensive word from a Dub. Not a word! ''The Greatest'', ''Hound'', ''Zulu'' et al all hiding, looking through their fingers!
Financial DOPING Lads!
**** Fake News Alert ****
Ah Spewn's (Frank Grimes) hack job that he gets paid to write, taken directly from an article he wrote for the business post on multiple occasions at this stage, he obsessed and he's plain wrong and spouting lies.
Dublin hurlers have benefited from the same coaching structure as the footballers, no All Irelands. Its not allocated per registered player, that's a stupid ignorant argument. Not all School children are registered members of clubs.
Anyway, been here before , Wolves do not concern themselves with the crying of sheep.
And while they cry, the hard work will continue.
Its funny, you never hear this being talked about from Kerry or Tyrone, just the usual suspect counties who already have weak mentalities.
Christ do people only gauge success in All-Irelands
As for hurling. seriously
5 Leinster Minors and 3 runners-up in the last 12 years. Prior to that it was 1 in 40 years.
4 Leinster u21s since 2007 and 2 runners up. Prior to that you have to go back to 1972.
1 Senior Leinster Title in 2013, 1st in 50 odd years. They even won the National League for the 1st time 70 years in 2011.
The hurling success is not measured in All-Irelands but from where they were before Bertie's cash intervention supplemented by GAA money to now, is miles apart.
I will refrain from calling you ignorant but are being deliberately obtuse as is every Dublin poster, the head in the sand stuff is mildly amusing.
Dinny is bang on with the "sure hurling is benefitting from the same funding" deflection as back not so long ago Down hurlers would have beaten them up a stick. Not now for sure so the base at which Dublin hurling had to lift itself was much lower than the footballers.
Winning Leinster titles and National League titles is a big thing for a Dublin born hurler
. Won't mean a whole pile to a Dublin footballer as they were always capable of winning them anyway.
Dublin to their credit have gotten very savy in the commercial side of things and are making large sums from that that few other counties could dream of and fair play to them.
In general they've had no need to plough resources into stadia or excellence centres like a lot of other counties as they've had Croke Park on their doorstep, not to mention access to the best of facilities at the various universities scattered across the city.
Those resources are then directed into coaching and team preparation and that's a luxury that others, even with a decent playing population can't compete with.
Time to take the Dubs off the Croke Park teat and let them paddle their own canoe, which I think they will be able to do anyway.
