The Taliban did it on their own. Dublin couldn't despite a tenfold numerical advatage until they were given millions by Bertie and the GAA.

Totally wrong. Taliban did a deal with Trump, Dublin did a deal with Bertie. Taliban fond of beheading and Dublin were trying a bit of beheading at the weekend too. Taliban are sponsored by Toyota Hilux, Dublin also sponsored by Toyota

It remains to be seen if the Taliban sweep out dressing rooms but I think the comparison above is perfect.

I don't doubt it, like Afghanistan just got a short reprieve from the Taliban I think the dubs will be back very soon.

The danger is it might be nearly too easy for them and they may not be able to keep the focus on year-after-year the way the Dubs did.
I wonder are people on hurling forums saying Limerick are destroying hurling and it's JP that somehow turned them into a squad of magnificent hurlers, like morons on here saying Bertie turned the Dubs into world beaters 😀
Quote from: johnnycool on August 24, 2021, 09:49:47 AMYep, but also Limerick had years of underage success and some really top notch club teams, so I'd imagine their club scene is very competitive.Quote from: Hound on August 24, 2021, 09:42:25 AMQuote from: Armagh18 on August 24, 2021, 07:53:49 AMCertainly a lot of promise in Cork, but Limerick are an absolute class apart.Quote from: Hound on August 23, 2021, 08:46:05 AMCork seem to be moving the right way with their underage teams, obviously depends on how those lads step up to senior but will obviously be a few years yet.

JP used his own money but Bertie didn't even have a bank account ;D
Seriously though Limerick are so dominant and it's not good for the sport and with the professionalism you hear coming out of the Limerick camp it's hard to see how the other counties can compete and I include Cork in that as I need to tweak their style of play. Doesn't matter how fast you can run if you can't win the ball.
The'y give Munster rugby a good go at the oval ball game ffs. The size of them is unreal.

To stop Limerick dominating the Hurley stuff Cork with 3 times Limerick's population need to get the finger out.
Their Co Board needs to go to the Cork Taoiseach, tell him it will be the end of hurling if Cork aren't winning a scatter of AIs every decade and ask for an oul dig out€€€€.
Then tell GAA HQ hurling will die if there isn't a successful Cork hurling team. And ask for twice as much €€€€ per player as any other County.
Then get all their Championship games played at home!!

And all the money Inda threw into Mayo to keep them at the top for over a decade. Supposed to be a once in a generation team, but they keep churning out new players every year. Must be the money, there can no other reason.
And presumably it was the Healy Raes who ensured Kerry won an unprecedented 5 minors in a row, which is actually harder than doing it at senior level, given the player turnover.

I know of a lad at a county at the complete opposite end of the spectrum , if you think them lads who have to beg for expenses to travel to league games or at the same level as lads driving round in sponsored cars ,you're a racing lunatic . Its completely imbalanced and certain counties are on a different planet cause of funding . Dublin in football and limerick In hurling are top dogs in this league . There is nothing more to this . Do you honestly believe a promising underage player in leitrim has the same chance as a promising underage player in Dublin,same access to facilities , guidance, advice ,s&c programmes etc etc

The Taliban did it on their own. Dublin couldn't despite a tenfold numerical advatage until they were given millions by Bertie and the GAA.
Totally wrong. Taliban did a deal with Trump, Dublin did a deal with Bertie. Taliban fond of beheading and Dublin were trying a bit of beheading at the weekend too. Taliban are sponsored by Toyota Hilux, Dublin also sponsored by Toyota

It remains to be seen if the Taliban sweep out dressing rooms but I think the comparison above is perfect.
The taliban after being defeated in Afghanistan have come back and now rule the country. Great comparison Itchy. Like you I hope the dubs can come back and reclaim their throne

Nah the Death Star took out. But the Empire could Strike back next year, leading up to the concluding trilogy ;lol 😂
You only have to look at the Taliban and their comeback.

Taliban are back on top after 20 years of struggles and they are now calling the shots. Hopefully dubs won't have to wait that long to reclaim their title.

It's numbers of Teams, not Clubs.

We'd have a fair overlap in our underage teams where one player would be playing for two teams..
We were in Douglas at a Feile a few years back with our camogs with half our team made up from U12's and not one girl on the Douglas team was U12. So in theory they'd an U14 team and an U12 team like us but probably double or triple the number of players..
The same weekend our U14 hurlers were at Inniscarra which is meant to be a small club in Cork standards, they too had no U12's on their teams and we had plenty.
Cork are a sleeping giant in both hurling and football.

Cork didn't come from nowhere in 2010. They were there or thereabouts for the previous 4 or 5 years getting to finals, winning national leagues and U21 all Irelands.

Not much talk now from the usual suspects about the Thousand Year Reich and Dublin's twenty All Irelands in a row. Everyone now seems to agree that we have indeed been looking at a golden generation of players.

The Bunker very quiet. Good to see she is still Mayo victory.
