What's your proposal in Munster for the inequality between the various counties there? Cork has a very large population, is well funded, has more clubs than any other county yet there is tumble weed blowing through the trophy cabinet. What's your solution for Carlow, Leitrim, Longford, Fermanagh in their respective provinces.l? Whatever the plan it would need to address the inequalities nationally. It would effectively see the end of the old provincial competitions, a merging of some counties required perhaps. The political fallout would be enormous. The CBs are run like councils anyway with local politicians heavily involved in their CBs. Plenty of noses would be put out of joint, lots of acrimony over loss of heritage, tradition, county pride and honours. It would be a massive undertaking. To attempt to implement across codes would be even more challenging as hurling has long dispelled the myth that population + money = champs.

It mightn't be watered down for you but it would be for plenty. It might be respectful for you but it wouldn't be for plenty. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 18/09/2019 20:42:22 2237332 Link 0 |
A solution along with the establishment of the Dublin Trinity is for Longford and Westmeath to enter the Connaught Championship. Offaly and Laois can enter the Munster Championship. You'll have two provincial championships of 8 and two provincial championships of 9. The GAA can have a Final 16 in 4 groups of 4. Solutions are there as part of a constructive discussion. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 18/09/2019 20:49:15 2237334 Link 0 |
Donegalman I read today that young Oisin Gallen is flying out to Oz that's a massive blow ye if he decides to stay, With Dublins domination a lot more of the best young talent from the rest of the country are going to fly off to Oz and who can blame them.

It wouldn't be because of the Dublin dominance, it would be opertunity on its own merit that the afl presents. We have 'lost' others to soccer as a result of better prospects. Can't blame them really it's human nature and freedom to choose. Good luck to him if he makes it.

that's correct. the rangers we once knew went into liquidation and ceased trading. this new crowd called rangers is just the same as a business going bankrupt on Friday and starting up under another name on Monday!!

Dublin seem to be able to fend off Australian interest? Is that down to resources? Are they shrewd in the development of young talent? Can Dublin afford to allow player get to 21 or so before developing them further. We've seen examples of players gaining strength over the winter months. Have they done so past the time of Australian interest?

I can't for the life of me understand why Longford or Westmeath don't want to join connaught. Or why louth don't want to join ulster. Even my own meath would be better off. Obviously rotating Dublin to a different province annually solves every issue but they'll sooner disband the competition. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 18/09/2019 23:56:34 2237398 Link 8 |
The person who started this thread stated in original post if anyone thinks this is a crackpot solution to respectfully move along. But what if it is just that a crackpot solution? How will you all advocating it know? Talk about a debate!! You really think someone in the GAA is actually even looking at this crackpot solution? I can tell most of them in HQ over morning coffee have a good laugh. As for funding, this annual nonsense swings between funding, population etc. It only applies to Gaelic football because those advocating this rubbish only see football. They don't see the GAA because their miserable counties are part time members of the GAA, they have tokenism towards hurling, towards the ladies GAA sports. They present themselves as trail blazing revolutionaries and they just come across as backward begrugders hurling cow dung from the ditch. Ye haven't a clue

This thread was set up about splitting Dublin. You replied saying that taking funding from Dublin is a bad idea. I replied to you pointing out that your reply is pointless because this thread is not about taking funding from Dublin. You replied now with some waffle. What's going through your head when you're writing posts? You can't seem to stay on topic at all. jonjon (Mayo) - Posts: 99 - 19/09/2019 10:36:28 2237483 Link 2 |

Would you also split Cork to address their population advantage? Into how many parts? bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4624 - 20/09/2019 19:24:34 2237903 Link 4 |
Dublin applied for funding of provincial status. That should bring provincial responsibilities. 3 counties in Dublin is a sustainable solution for the longterm future of the game. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 20/09/2019 20:15:17 2237913 Link 0 |
Whats your solution for Tipp , Clare , Limerick and Waterford ? Kerrys total domination of Munster 81 titles and 37 All Irelands has got to be sorted once and for all .

Did you copy and paste that from your post of 12 months ago, 12 weeks ago or 12 days ago? They're all the same so it's difficult to tell. How are those 81 Munster trophies doing anyway? You must use more silver polish than Buckingham Palace keeping those yokes sparkling. At least you have the swanky multi million euro Kerry Group funded centre of excellence to store them in. We've just got an aul shed in the Neller.

I'll worry when these threads aren't started to be honest. They are as predictable around this time of year as the evenings drawing in, there is a kind of reassuring glow to them with Dublin Sam in the back pocket again, I'll miss them when we don't win and they are not around any more.

The argument was valid in 2001 and still is today. Kerry have seen two young prospects depart for Australia. Dublin are able to fend off the lure of Australian dollars. Tommy Walsh left after our '09 win. Congratulations on a good achievement for Dublin and winter well. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 20/09/2019 21:54:43 2237942 Link 1 |
