Congratulations to my county . 8 in a row equalling Kerry's 8 in a row. Props to Laois for having a cut & not sitting back. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 24/06/2018 17:50:29 2114269 Link 4 |
Better 2nd half performance jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 24/06/2018 18:01:25 2114274 Link 3 |
Don't know what you're talking about; all the dubs I've spoken to tell me it's the most competitive province in the country, maybe even the whole world. And wasn't Ronaldo heard say, just the other day, that if Portugal do well in the World Cup they might consider taking the step up to Leinster next year? And didn't Laois do well? Fair play to them, they were able to find their way to Croker and didn't get beaten by a million points. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 24/06/2018 18:18:01 2114282 Link 1 |
Agreed, those groomers will have to do better.

Yeah and it's much easier to win too when the opposition can't find the posts from play in the whole second half, but sure in a competitive province that wouldn't happen. Especially in a final. .........oh wait!!

You're right. There's absolutely no argument to be made that Leinster isn't as competitive as every other province. Dublin have struggled to maintain their winning margins in every single game they've played; sure didn't they only manage a single goal today? Kildare will catch them any day now. Any day.

Seeing as you didn't address my comment I take it you agree. You worry about your crowd catching Dublin, same as every other county in the country does, and Kildare people will worry about Kildare.

It is only in the last 10 years that it has become one-sided and that is only a senior level. At underage very competitive, so after 10 years of one team we should kill it? witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 25/06/2018 07:03:31 2114481 Link 3 |
You drew a false equivalency KD73, which I assumed was patently obvious. But you wanted a response, so there it is. And if Leinster football wasn't dead before, it surely is now as we watch this stadium nonsense unfold. Apparently Dublin are the only county in Leinster who are allowed home advantage, to the point that they even get it for their "neutral" games too. You couldn't make it up. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 26/06/2018 19:55:34 2115578 Link 1 |
Considering ye had Connacht hurling to yourselves forever it didn't do ye any good. You're mad for yap about Leinster now that ye won an AI after being allowed in to give ye a chance. You really couldn't make it up. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 26/06/2018 20:49:24 2115612 Link 0 |
Allowed in? A mhic, ye begged us! Wrong code by the way, but don't let that stop ya! festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 26/06/2018 21:01:37 2115618 Link 0 |
Yes, allowed in, otherwise you'd still be talking about "88 . Yes, hurling that's the code I'm referencing. That's the one ye won due to Leinster letting ye play there. Pipe down there Rambo. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 26/06/2018 21:37:29 2115630 Link 0 |
That'll tell how dead Leinster football is the hermit :-)

Same goes for Kerry hurling of course. Playing one code essentially in the opposite code province and sniggering at Leinster because a special group of players are dominating there while they've had little or no championship for 130 years.

To say Dublin have just dominted leinster football for the last ten year is untrue. The fact is yes Kerry have dominated Munster football for 100 years, but Dublin have dominated leinster football for pretty much 100 years also. Both counties are the dominate kingpins in both their respective proviences. Let look at the facts , the stats below, lets look at an half a century of football , 50 years of gaelic football provicial tiltles won by Dublin and Kerry. The number of provicial titles won by both counties are amazingly similar. Since 1970 Kerry have won 32 Munster Senior football titles Since 1970 Dublin have won 28 Leinster Senior football titles Provicial Titles won by Dublin and Kerry in the last 50 years 1970s: 6 for Dublin (1974-75-76-77-78-79) 1970s: 7 for Kerry (1970-72-75-76-77-78-79) 1980s: 4 for Dublin (1983-84-85-89) 1980s: 6 for Kerry (1980-81-82-84-85-86) 1990s: 4 for Dublin (1992-93-94-95) 1990s: 4 for Kerry (1991-96-97-98) 2000s: 6 for Dublin (2002-05-06-07-08-09) 2000s: 6 for Kerry (2000-01-03-04-05-07) 2010s: 8 for Dublin (2011-12-13-14-15-16-17-18) 2010s: 8 for Kerry (2010-11-13-14-15-16-17-18) So in summary in the 1990s Dublin and Kerry both won 4 provicial titles each. In the 00s Dublin and kerry won 6 provicial titles each. In this decade so far , Dublin and Kerry have won 8 provicial titles apiece. So since 1990 (1990-2018) In the last 28 years Kerry have won 18 Munster senior football titles In the last 28 years Dublin have won 18 leinster senior football titles In conclusion Dublin and Kerry have dominted both their respective proviences.

Lets look at Kerry and Dublin record v counties in both proviences. Both Kerry and Dublin have similar type of records v opposition , where teams beat kerry once in a couple of generations the same for Dublin, many teams beat Dublin once in generation or two.

Lets now look at counties provicial title record in both leinster and Munster and again its a very similar pattern. Furlong1949 (Meath) - Posts: 1067 - 27/06/2018 11:24:16 2115823 Link 1 |
