Better than the actual song.
Wasn't sure there was an actual song if I'm being honest

Quote from: seafoid on May 03, 2024, 05:06:56 PMQuote from: Milltown Row2 on May 03, 2024, 12:21:56 PMHas the money been going into Dublin equally across all codes and genders?.
I assume it has, and if so, why is it that the senior male footballers are the only ones with continued success?
I know the ladies did well, and maybe that has turned them around as before that period they only won one.
But with regards to hurling and Camogie Dublin's last win was in 1984 and they were a brilliant team back in the 60's, but nada since and the senior hurlers haven't been to a final since 61
Are Dublin just producing better footballers as the money isn't making a difference in hurling
Dublin is stronger in football.There are more footballers than hurlers in Dublin.
The money fell on fertile ground. It was enough to override Kerry.
Limerick is stronger in hurling. The money was enough to buy the expertise in. Cork, Tipp and KK were unable to respond. The timing was right.

Look to Kerry Galway Tyrone Mayo and Derry.
They have plenty of footballers equal to or better than many Dublin players.
They simply don't have the numbers to cover for injury and rest.
They don't have the luxury of bringing on a Jack mc Caffrey or Michael Darragh for the last 20.
Dublin compared to any of the others have the quality players to pick two teams from.
None of the other counties do.
So, is it a numbers game or a money game?
If you are given funds to develop the game you can coach 20 players for the same amount as 10.
I heard on the RTE podcast that Dublin spent approx 7 million on their seniors last year.
The nearest to this was Cork.
6.2 million I think.
However 40 percent of Corks was on travelling expenses alone.

Sancho is having a great game.

Now using Coalisland dialect as a reference may not be the wisest move for a commentator but I will give him a pass on this one.
So Hampsey isn't of Dutch origin then?
One thing that stands out from encountering the coalisland (or east Tyrone ) accent , is pronuncing O'Neill as Nail. eg. Stephen Nail instead of Stephen O'Neill.
Maybe Jimmy Nail has Tyrone roots?
