well you would want to be naive to think that Dublin's structural footballing foundations emanating from the funding has had no bearing on your revival the last 7 years or so. You can't buy talent but you can nurture it, support it, maintain it etc.

Personally I think all county structures need funding, I know the secretary of Kildare GAA and there are many talented Kildare players who just don't have the support to nurture their talent. They are disillusioned and often unmotivated .

Look at Cork GAA. If your players haven't a good relationship with those who are running the board, disillusionment surfaces, any conflict in the camp will produce this.

Dublin players are under a great tent of support and fair play to them. You can't begrudge any team that dedicates over 9 months flat to the board training for having that structure and system and amenities.

It isn't about being bitter, for me anyway, its more frustration that we arent getting the best out of a lot of our players elsewhere in the country.

Put the whole Dubs against the world mindset behind and acknowledge other peoples opinions somewhat

Tipperary and Clare

Byrne, Small, Cooper, McCarthy, Fenton, MDMA, McManamon, Kilkenny, Rock and Brogan are nothing out of the ordinary in comparison to their Mayo counterparts. Some may be better on their day etc but that's it. Some of the sh1te being talked by Dubs fans is quite the eye opener. You'd never hear Kerry men talking like this. Keep it coming.

We have played the dubs 5 times in championship over last 10 years. Won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2. In the 2 games we won David Clarke played in nets-2006 and in 2013. Robert Hennelly made a few mistakes during his time in goals. David Clarke has never lost a championship game to Dublin. With the dubs not scoring goals I think Clarkey will make it back to back blacks for the dubs. Is Clarkey our lucky mascot?

Mayo's 1st 4 match's all on Saturdays?

Monaghan will be providing the guard of honour that night.

I think the Dubs are overrated. They peaked 2 weeks ago against a over the hill kerry team. Mayo to win by a good 4-6 points. This is our year. Can feel in my waters.
