Future Of Leinster Championship - 15 Like(s)
An absolute shambles again tonight, as it has been for years now. The game is dead in 11 counties in Leinster. At what stage do the GAA address this? At what stage do the most deluded fans who claim they are GAA people recognise their 10 in a row Leinsters and 6 in a row all irelands mean very little. Population, x 16 funding, x 20 times the sponsorship, centres of excellence and stadium provided free of charge , but Dubs will still tell the rest of us we have to get our act together. I honestly can't see why any county honours any fixture against Dublin. What was the point in Meath turning up tonight for example?

Kildare Dis-Service To Smaller Counties - 13 Like(s)
Some very sheltered and self righteous posts from Dublin posters on here. You dont have a valid opinion on the subject if your county gets 16 million for games development in the same time Kildare receives less than 600k. You dont have a valid opinion on this subject when your real home ground, which is a similar size to st Conleths, is replaced free of charge by an 82k flagship arena. You don't have a valid opinion on this subject when that flagship arena becomes a "neutral venue" when it suits the GAA for the super 8s. Dublin fans dont have a clue what most counties have to deal with. Thats not their fault but it leaves them with an extremely blinkered view of the GAA world. The GAA has become the sporting equivalent of the Tories.

Meath V Dublin Leinster Final. - 12 Like(s)
We may have finally reached the point where even the most blinkered set of supporters in the land realise how perverse the advantage Dublin GAA is at. This is a disgrace on any sporting level.

Meath V Dublin Leinster Final. - 9 Like(s)
I think a rule needs to be brought in that of you kick 9 scores or less against any opposition you get kicked out of the championship and the qualifiers. Meath turning up to a Leinster final to kick 4 points in 75 minutes is a sad day for football.

Donegal's Motion Fails - 8 Like(s)
There is no point debating this any further. I have made the decision to not give the GAA any more of my money. And I am clearly not the only one. Not one single Dub will admit to the farce, and it is incredibly sad that they care more about winning at all costs than about the game itself. Blinkered and short sited. However the association itself is the real villain here. Its like the Tory government. Reasoning that giving Dublin incredible advantages makes "financial sense". What has "financial sense" got to do with an amateur organisation? Dublin will win 10 in a row. And it won't mean a thing.

Kildare V Mayo - 7 Like(s)
Kidare are going nowhere this year anyway. We should finally be the first county to have the balls to make a stand and refuse to play anywhere but at home. The GAA is a broken corrupt organisation and its time they were held to ransome.

Meath V Dublin Leinster Final. - 6 Like(s)

Replying To jimbodub:  "No credit given to Dublin's desire to hit hard and turn over ball and play lovely football No acknowledgement or analysis whatsoever from you.. just type cast stuff How about the way Meath setup, their kick outs are a disaster, missing sitter frees Meath humiliated Kildare and Wicklow There was no talk of the sky falling down"
There was. Repeatedly. And this is an atypical response from a blinkered ignorant fan boy. Dublin fans have zero self awareness or reflection.

Kieran McGeeney Stay With The Team - 6 Like(s)
Kildare were a shambles when he took them on. Within 2 1/2 years we were challenging for all Ireland finals and only outdone by disgraceful refereeing and linesman decisions. Armagh have a very sparse crop of talent coming through but he is holding on to them. But he gets bad press because he takes on counties that are division 2 or 3 standard and then gets accused of not winning "the big games". After Gavin, Harte, Malachy and McGuinness he is probably one of the best coaches in the game over the last 20 years. Would love to see what he would do with Mayo or Galway. Would take him back in Kildare in an instant.

Kildare v Wexford worst game of all time - 6 Like(s)
I always said if my own county resorted to trying to play blanket defence I'd withdraw my support. What Kildare did against a division 4 team today was a disgrace. It was worse than anything Donegal have ever done. Conceding 7 goals in 35 minutes last year was bad, but to refuse to play football and hand pass over and back against one of the weakest teams in the championship is unacceptable. 9 points in 74 minutes doesn't deserve to still be in the championship.

Future Of Leinster Championship - 6 Like(s)

Replying To Ulsterman:  "I sadly believe that if it comes down to Dublin v the rest of the country the GAA top brass will back the Dubs every time. Dublin bring in a lot of revenue, the population is there and the hierarchy won't want to disrupt or annoy their cash cow. I honestly think Croke Park will plough on regardless and take the other counties for granted. If there's sufficient funding coming in from Dublin to fund their salaries and keep their expenses rolling in the GAA will be happy to carry on. They can't and won't do anything to anger Dublin or threaten their own positions. If it means the Leinster Championship falls by the wayside and the All Ireland remains the annual Dublin Coronation then so be it. They'll throw a few crumbs and baubles from the top table every so often but it'll be a case of "Stop whinging, isn't Dublin's success wonderful for us all"."
You are absolutely right, they won't change ..... unless backed into a corner. A championship needs other teams to compete for it to be a championship and there is nothing HQ fears more than the loss of revenue a boycott would incur. No gate receipts, no money from Sky or GAAGO. You saw what happened in Newbridge or Nowhere, they backed down fairly quickly there and they will again. The power lies with the counties, whether or not they have the moral courage to boycott is another matter.

Another Question For Dubs - 5 Like(s)

Replying To TheUsername:  "Isn't that a bit hypocritical though, let's be honest the dogs in the street know O' Dwyer was getting a right few Bob for managing Kildare. Similarly with Jack O Connor, isn't that in itself financial doping, trying to get an edge on an opponent through financial means. Dare we bring up St. Kevin's finest Seanie Johnson. I wonder how many GPO's all of the above would cost. Isn't that also true that Kildare played their Championship games in Croker under O Dwyer, how many in 98 were played outside Croker? Long way from the Newbridge or nowhere stuff back then. I think the last county to make a case for fair play or moaning about unfair financial spending or playing games in Croker, would be Kildare."
This is a staggering argument and only somebody very delududed would be misguided enough to raise a tenuous link like this. Mick Osborne put a few pound into the account to get Micko up and down to Waterville, yes of course. But this is not systematic financial doping by both government and the GAA. Your all Ireland mean nothing. Its not your fault, Bertie and the GAA created this farce. But we are all laughing at your delusions.

Dublin V Louth - What A Farce - 5 Like(s)

Replying To Royal.Legend:  "Louth were a farce last night though there heads dropped after only about ten minutes, if teams of similar enough standard as louth such as Carlow and laois can put up a decent performance against dublin then why cant louth, can't blame dublin for louths lack of bottle, if dublin were wearing meath jerseys then I think you'll find there be allot more fight in that louth team."
The game is dead in the rest of Leinster. Kildare or Longford are no better than Louth.

The all Ireland. Football is just as weak in the other provinces as it is in Leinster. I won't watch a minute of it but I will watch out for deluded Dublin fans trying to kid themselves into thinking there is any sporting merit in this nonsense.

Replying To Leftpeg1:  "Cormac Costello has been given the go ahead to play in the semi. Anyone any idea why he got the red in the first place? And why has it been rescinded?"
Because he plays for Dublin. We all need to aspire to try as these guys and maybe we can all get the same treatment when we deserve to be sent off.

Dublin have kicked bizarre wides. It almost as if they have been told to keep the score down so they can hold on to the funding.

Looking at how Meath and Kildare were scrapping at eachother yesterday, it actually looked like neither of them had any interest in being available for the championship. Hard to blame them as this was the last meaningful game for any county this year. I wonder if any Leinster counties are contemplating a boycott?

Replying To TheDubz10:  "Great game in the End, no issues with Football at the min after that game, both teams went hard at it and Dubs just got the luck today and the run of the ball, moral victory to the west though, they will be back stronger next year you can count on that."
You are joking? Another null and void all Ireland. This is a joke sport. Enjoy.

The decision to not give the mark was absolutely disgraceful. The whole team called for the mark after a great fetch. How can the ref be so incompetent? There was one push on the ref and an understandably angry reaction. Lots of hysterical self righteous indignation on here and in the media.
