Quote from: moonster on March 29, 2026, 01:14:08 PMDonegsl 4/5 lads, don't have depth panel like Kerry.  Would fear for Donegal.

Have 50 double on Kerry and Meath l.

Also got Kerry at 7/2 to league and championship in January.

Any year Kerry won league under Jack O'Connor they have All Ireland that year. Can't see that changing with lack of completion to beat them.
What price are they now

Quote from: APM on March 22, 2026, 11:24:12 PMNext year:

Dublin
Wexford
Louth
Cavan
Monaghan
Tyrone
Derry
Down

Nightmare of a Division.
Expect Down to be well fit for it. Wexford will be most vulnerable. Monaghan with return to form perhaps. Louth might continue to improve. The Dubs might get their act together.



Tough div 2 next year surely. Hoping for a Sat night tie v Dublin at Celtic Pk. Always a brilliant occasion
Me too, lol

Quote from: moonster on March 14, 2026, 06:14:30 PMThe Dubs usually bottle against Armagh.  The Rossies were in heavy training two weeks ago and wanted avoid a potential league final. Gary Brennan could be facing the sack.
Who's Gary Brennan?

Quote from: omagh_gael on February 22, 2026, 03:31:47 PMSounds like another shocking performance from Tyrone...still down by 3 with 10 to play. Missing simple chances and playing with a huge breeze. Don't deserve promotion at this stage

Quote from: Baile Brigín 2 on February 04, 2026, 09:10:26 AMA convenient argument.

When Dublin were winning, split them to dilute the talent.

Now they are shite, split them to consolidate the talent.

The weight of numbers argument fails. More clubs in Cork etc.

But substantitvely you are right. Gaelic games in Dublin is, and has always been far behind soccer. The success of the Dubs didn't translate into an increase in playing numbers at juvenile level.

He reality is there are, for example, 9 GAA clubs in the whole county of Dun Laoighre Rathdown (population 240k) and one of  them is a dominant superclub and about half are wobbling.

But unlike other areas of the county there are clubs. It is virtually impossible to start a club with Dublin land prices so we are then forced to funnel kids through the soulless and soul destroying superclub machine.

I have a friend in Rathfarham whose choice is Ballyboden or one of the various soccer clubs. His kid is in a friendly, community based club where he gets fame time based on merit. And that isn't in the local GAA.

The big expansion success was taking on the goys in Dalkey. Cuala worked, but play out of a soccer club. The traditional working class clubs have been thrown to the wolves as a result. They lost to soccer, so why bother?
2 or 4 Dublin county boards won't change any of this. And they certainly won't get better access to schools or parks.
Dublin has always been a city with a traditional alignment to Britain.
That's not going to change any time soon.

Quote from: shawshank on May 06, 2025, 09:36:13 AMI seen a photo of a player from Newbridge whose hand was damaged apparently via a stud at the weekends game, was told who it was but don't want to report anything unless its true. I mean, I have never seen anything like in all the years involved in sport. I am hoping its not true
I  saw a photo of his hand  and you would think it  was in an industrial accident looking at it.
