Are there any mods now on this site. Wums like dont matter drive away people who might have something worthwhile to contribute to a discussion. Do us a favour and ban him/her.

The truth hurts. I think if I'm driving people like you away I'm doing everyone a favour.

What does that have to do with Senior IC team expenses? Am still awaiting a source on your last bullsh*t assertion too.

I've explained what it has to do with IC team expenses. Where's your source for Laois manager payments?

I've said previously that the GAA have created a monster with the millions upon millions they've given Dubl$n GAA. They now feel entitled to the money, even a small cut in the funding is being strongly opposed: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/dublin-manager-jim-gavin-slams-proposed-cuts-in-gaa-funding-to-dublin-1.2052385

Should the expenses for Dublin's Senior Team not be considerably lower than the other top 4 teams given that they don't have to pay the cost of transporting a team and staff to and from Dublin, accommodation food etc. for every championship game? I would imagine most players are based in the capital so less mileage expenses for training too.

Bernard Dunne and the extensive backroom teams don't come for free.

No, it's being used to train Nursery and young primary school aged children. I don't see the correlation with Senior IC panels (at least not in the context of this thread anyway)

Since most of Dubl$ns underage system is funded by all of us, it leaves your county board free to pump huge resources into your senior teams.

What does the above (unsourced) graphic have to do with the Dublin Senior Footballers or Hurlers?

The figures are from the official accounts and it's bought your senior footballers a couple of Leinster titles, National leagues and All Ireland's while it's bought your senior hurlers a Leinster title and National league title.

This thread is entitled 'Centralised Fund for Team Expenses?' The county with the highest level of team expenses is Dubl$n. The Dubl$n controlled media keep silent on the issue, we don't have to do likewise here or anywhere else.

If you got to see the financial accounts from the Dubl$n county board then you'd see that they've spent more than Donegal, Mayo and Kerry combined since 2011.
The Dubs are up in arms now that they got beaten out the gate by Donegal, they were happy when it was only them with the money to buy All Ireland's. Well what did they and everyone else expect? The only way to compete against a team with huge resources is to pump huge resources into your own team. Obviously it's no coincidence that the 4 All Ireland semi finalists in football all had big money behind them. If this is allowed to continue then our sport as we know it will be destroyed. It's as simple as that.
Turkey's don't vote for Christmas so it's up to the rest of us to save our games.

  It's funny seeing some Dubs here have the cheek to question other teams expenses. It'd be like Fianna Fáil having a go at the Blueshirts over corruption.

I've been saying for years that Dubl$n will ruin Gaelic Games as we know it. With the millions that's been pumped into developing their players it's been made it impossible for most counties to compete. Some counties have found a short term solution, they've spent huge sums on their senior teams. They wont be able to do this forever and it means that counties with very little money are miles behind those that do.
Dubl$n have killed the Leinster football championship, it's dead. They will destroy the rest of the football championship if they're let continue and eventually the hurling championship too. I've also said in the past that funding should be divided fairly amongst every county so all teams have an equal opportunity to compete. For Dubl$n it's too late, the millions they've received for a decade has left them too far ahead. They're competing as professionals and they're dragging our great amateur sport with them.
We have to take Dubl$n down to save our games.

What a joke team. Glen Ryan??  No mention of Tom Kelly. How is Pauric Clancy not in midfield? The teams missing a certain Ross Munnelly, not to mention Beano McDonald. Who buys the independent anyway?

Maybe the Dubl$n fans should lobby their own board to get them out of Croke Park. The rest of the country want them out but the Dubl$n board have a professional system to pay for.

Connolly doesn't even deserve an all star. McHugh, Murphy and MacNiallais or Walsh should be on the half forward line.

Maybe this is the twist we've all been waiting for. Interesting development Mayo.

Cad é mar cluiche? Great win for Cork, another failure for aig Dubl$n. One of the best games of the year.

If Walsh came back for Kerry, Hanley for Mayo and Touhy for Laois there'd be three beasts on the loose on the GAA pitches of Ireland.
