Wexford have also done the 4 in a row. Here and now is all that matters. But that is taking away from the topic I was referring too. I am very close friends with one past county player, whose Leinster medal is mounted in a frame and takes pride of place in his home. I don't think the same can be said for majority of this dubs team. I'm sure commerford will be the exception along with maybe one or two other. As for the rest? I really don't think they give a toss any more about a Leinster medal. And that is sad. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 24/06/2018 21:45:00 2114378 Link 0 |
You're saying that like we wouldn't travel in big numbers for a game in Kerry....oh wait, that happens every second year already.

There is no factual evidence behind your statement though It's all pie in the sky stuff to fit your narrative. And that, is sad. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 24/06/2018 22:25:50 2114393 Link 3 |
Until we do beat ye realdub it's only all pie in the sky, personally I think we're 2/3 years away from getting anywhere near beating ye if we beat ye at all. We have great young fellas but we need to get meat on their bones, ye absolutely made putty out of us in the league. And to answer your question I'd be delighted to beat Dublin north south east and west, you couldn't split our county as we have a very small playing pool, saying that all our hurlers come from north Kerry and they do ok.

I'm sure East Dublin would take great pleasure though in sending the Kerry boys home with their tails between their legs! However no county will or should, be divided. The question is in my opinion, is retaining the provincial system the best way of determining our premier competition and if it is not, then how do you still make it relevant?

Who cares what Colm O'Rourke thinks. Blowing his own trumpet again today going on about how he had met with the GAA president to outline his proposals to reform the championship and saying he's willing to,serve on any group established to look into this. Astonishing arrogance. He had his chance years ago and his proposals died a death at congress. Yesterdays man in every sense. Needs to drift away.

And what narrative is that. ? Please enlighten me. As I honestly haven't a clue what you talking about. Apart from you taking everything as a slight on dub. Please enlighten me.

I don't believe that a north south east or west Dublin team would beat Kerry.

Very few care about Colm's opinion, this is about devaluation of a Leinster medal

Not a slight on Dublin. A slight on the players when you haven't a clue how or what a Leinster medal means to any of them. You made a huge assumption based on what? You started a thread to discuss something that is pie in the sky stuff. Can you not see that?

It can seem a bit muted to us on the outside looking in but the reality is that these lads don't know how many seasons they have at inter-county level, the competition within Dublin is huge and for lads who maybe this is only their first or second I'm sure it means the world. Success isn't forever so I would say everyone within the Dublin setup are delighted to keep this going as long as possible. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 25/06/2018 10:17:05 2114536 Link 0 |
It would probably take a couple of years for them before they'd be able to topple a Kerry or a Tyrone a Donegal or a Mayo but ye'd still have 4 teams with huge population and finance and infrastructure . Also think of the craic ye'd have at matches against each other. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 25/06/2018 11:16:44 2114575 Link 0 |
Lads are entitled to their opinions, they are not entitled to alter facts or spout other peoples opinions as fact , if Dublin didn't care there would be cracks showing in preparation in commitment etc and actually knowing some of them involved that's not the case , these threads are driven by jealousy of our weak minded neighbors and of the minster for deflection down south , predictable, it says something when some posters are more concerned about Dublin than their own province and county.

Would it not be accurate to say only Dublin players and supporters are well placed enough to say what a Leinster medal does or doesn't mean to them? Everyone else is just pushing their own opinion as fact. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 25/06/2018 14:04:32 2114677 Link 1 |
