Why exactly are they a disgrace. No affiliation to them or anything but, if your refering to the offaly and louth connection, the "offaly man" at midfield is actually a Dub through and through. John Coughlan, an exceptional midfielder was just never considered by Piller Caffrey (like so many other classy Dublin footballers) so he decided to play for his fathers county. He player Minor and U21 football for Dublin.

Now most teams in the Dublin SFC have players from other counties on their team.  Vincents won with a Kerry man at midfield a few years ago.

Also a Westmeath man, Robert Wallace, in goals I see.  They are a long way off some other Dublin clubs when it comes to 'outsiders'.

It's Ballyboden that's captained by a Monaghan player, James O'Hara from Scotstown. Fair play to him, knew he was playing down there but didn't know he was thought of that highly to be made captain.

[Any craic]

The Brogans were back in action last night in the Dublin SFC tho it seems unfair to have to play so soon after Sunday. Bernard doesn't look anything like he did, understandably enough, Alan was ok, Jayo hits a great pass or two, and Anthony Moyles of all people scored the vital score near the end of extra-time for Plunketts with the outside of his boot. Offaly's John Coughlan, Cavan's Nestie Smith and Louth's Darren Clarke are all on show here on this match report video as well.
