Are you claiming they are making baseless allegations? Or are they making up facts?

At which point you just ignore it or say you never seen it. Your argument is patently flawed. There is no logic in the world that changes the fact that definitively, dublin are de facto province who compete as a county, while playing at home and receiving more funding. None of your spiels can change this and nobody believes it is fair. What Im curious to see is how far you will go and how much propaganda you will push before admitting this.

Your main tactic is to ask other people to do the leg work for you, as you ask the questions - but give no answers. All with the one goal to denegrade Dublin GAA, and give them no praise whatsoever.

The appearance money would be something Dub players would have an advantage in too if the 6k figures are to be believed and there is no reason not to.

Look i cant argue with you on the appearance money because i have no idea if some of the lads would have their own side deals going on but i have been to 2 local opening parties of Hotels in my area in the past year and a current Dublin player opened them and i know he didn't ask for a cent for doing it like a lot of other things the lad does in the community.

Kildare are a yo-yo team between div 1/2 if they are lucky. Is that Dublin's fault? Surely Kildare/Meath are better placed to compete with other counties like Donegal for example?Where is the excuse for that? I remember watching the div 2 final a few years ago between Galway and Kildare. For the most part it was like watching a world war 1 film with two armies afraid to venture into no man's land. And that was two teams with decent forwards!

It will have nearly a third of the countries population. Eventually they will win everything probably in both codes, I've no idea what the possible solution is but even splitting Dublin in half is unlikely to work as it won't be long before both sides start to contest the final.
ToBeFrank123 wrote: » Meath, Kildare and a couple others are football counties first and foremost. There is no reason why they should be beaten by 15 or 16 points frequently, especially as in recent years they do have their house in order, been either in division 1 or promoted to division 1. That's not just a team beating another, its a team from a hugely professional setup playing and beating a team from an amateur setup. This is the kind of difference GDF makes. From what I can see its probably 7 or 8 points if not more to Dublin.

If you look at why this happened all you have to do is look at which league Meath ended up in for well over a decade for example. Westmeath were putting it up to Meath in the last few years which was crazy.
ToBeFrank123 wrote: » Kerry beat Cork by 3 points this year. There's been one or two draws between them in recent years and although Cork are going through a lean period now, they've managed to hold their own in Munster on many occasions in the past. Not bad for essentially a hurling county, where football will always be the poor relation. Dublin beat Meath by 16 points this year its been a while since a Leinster final was up for grabs going into the last 10 minutes. So that really is a dead championship.
