The Dominance of Dublin GAA *Mod warning post#1*

Kerry, Tyrone, Mayo and Dublin for what, the fourth or fifth time in the last decade? The problems with lack of competition go far beyond Dublin. Counties have to be given the opportunity to win an All-Ireland. That would mean splitting Kerry as well as Dublin and merging many others.

It is not healthy competition that is a delusional spin on it. Basically Kildare and Meath got so poor they became an afterthought it showed against weak teams in Leinster and other comps league and super 8s and back door. With the resources and proximity to Dublin and population. Meath and Kildare should at least be within the top 5/6 in the country but they became a shambles. Sh!te management and shite tactics. If people want to send in Dub GAA know how fair enough. But those two counties Kildare /Meath and fans should openly admit that their county boards took their eye off the ball. All that has nothing to with dublin.

Anthony Daly on rte radio 1 a few minutes ago admitting Galway were undercooked when they met Dublin in the Leinster final in 2013, very honest of him. that's as "dominant" as it has got for the Dublin senior hurlers post funding.

the limerick senior hurlers started at a very low ebb, beaten by 24 points by tipp in 2009, they've kicked on a bit since then. ;)

1 Leinster senior hurling title is a flash in the pan.

It was interesting to hear Bernard Dunne talk about the high performance unit and the positive effect it has had on Irish boxing. Set up in 2005 he said. We've had pretty good success since then. It's almost as if increased funding, professional structures and coaching has an influence on results. Who would have thought?

And Bernard Dunne would know. He was also part of the Dublin footballers highly expensive backroom team for a few years, interestingly.

get him in to work with the Dublin senior hurlers as soon as he returns from Tokyo, they might win an all Ireland before the end of the decade but I doubt it because if funding was the answer it would be Dublin regularly getting to all Ireland finals now and winning them, not limerick.

Dublin beat limerick in 2015.

Funding is the answer with Limerick. JP McManus has pumped millions into Limerick GAA. We're now seeing the results of a strong hurling tradition plus funding. Very similar to the Dublin footballers. Nothing wrong with it, it just shows money works.

So you equate Dunne talking about another sport as somehow pertaining to Dublin GAA, hahaha... nothing if not entertaining, the sound of grasping at straws is hilarious.

Well that's quite the contradiction to what you usually post.

So you disagree with Bernard?Funding, a professional set up and professional coaching doesn't improve results?

And home fans want the majority of those tickets, you stick to tennis, good lad :)

Dublin didn't play Laois or Kilkenny away. These were all neutral games and none were sell outs. This is not going well for you. :D

Luckily the GAA drew up a plan and provided the funding for Dublin GAA then!

Limerick were just underperforming and are now operating at their potential. The JP money is just for primary school children to promote hurling.
