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

It was a golden generation , money and population play a part in getting every team on the pitch to begin with .Jim Gavin won 6 All irelands a brilliant manager .

Well I think we are in agreement then - the unfair advantages handed to Dublin had a positive impact on the team and contributed to their Dominance (the point of the thread)

OK, so you think that all those years of special treatment (additional resources, home advantage, special coaching structures etc) had no impact on dublins achievements?

By 2015 Dublin had 61 development people employed across the county - this was a scheme only available in Dublin. The province of Munster (which is bigger in every way - population, no of clubs, geographical spread) only had 34. Would you consider that special treatment?

In the period from 2011 to present, Dublin played 1 home game in Parnell Park (a behind closed doors covid game against meath) and the rest of them were in croke park, would you consider that as home advantage?

In a 10 year period to 2017, Dublin received 16 times more development funding than the next biggest county (probably linked to point 1 above), is that not considered special treatment in your eyes?

You are correct, there are other rich counties who have impressive setups, but Dublin are the only county that recieved these advantages.

So the Dublin players are not just once in a generation talents, they are also the only team in the entire history of team sports that gain no benefit from extra coaching resources and home advantage.

Incredible, its like talking to a flat earther.

U20 All Ireland final in 2020. Galway beat Dublin by one point in Croke Park

DUBLIN: Josh O'Neill; Conor Tyrrell, Adam Rafter, Josh Bannon; Rory Dwyer, Adam Waddick, Lee Gannon; Adam Fearon, Mark O'Leary; Mark Lavin, Lorcan O'Dell, Sean Lowry; Ciaran Archer, Luke Swan, Brian O'Leary.

Only Lee Gannon has become a starter for Dublin seniors. Lorcan O'Dell on the panel any others? Dessie Farrell not bringing through many new faces and bringing back the old guard.

GALWAY: Conor Flaherty; Jonathan McGrath, Sean Fitzgerald, Jack Glynn; Cian Monahan, Tony Gill, Cathal Sweeney; Conor Raftery, Cian Hernon; Paul Kelly, Matthew Tierney, Ryan Monahan; Patrick Kelly, Tomo Culhane, Matthew Cooley.

A good number of that team are now either starting or are on the Galway 26 now. Joyce who was their U20 manager 2019 placing his trust in youth.

I believe Dublin playing all there games in Croke park is a disadvantage

Are the comments factual ?

Nope its the achilles heel of Dublin playing in Croke Park in a near empty stadium , now if Dublins home games were played in Parnell Park who knows 😜

theyre tired of dublin winning and the competition format the overwhelming majority of people know the competition isnt rigged in any shape or form in favour of any team

What county other than Dublin has enjoyed decades of advantages? In terms of population, funding, playing at home etc.

No again nonsense , Croke Park is a disadvantage to Dublin , attendances are down all over the country because of the puke football being played

If population was always an advantage then the countries with biggest population would win everything and noone else would ever have a chance. many counties/countries/teams with bigger populations dont win/wont win..

It isnt irrevelent for every county. You are obsessed with Dublin when they are an issue but their dominance has no impact on the vast majority of counties and any chance to Dublin that you want will not improve the standing of most counties.

Dublin City 592,713

Sligo 70,198

Dublin is like a province on it's own. Such a pity the Railway Cup has fallen away. It would be the perfect platform for Dublin to take on the other 4 provinces.

All splitting up Dublin would do which is what a lot if counties want is make them considerably weaker .The interest in Gaa in Dublin is relatively small if Gaa was the big thing we would be winning it most years .The six in a row was a one off and looking at the records of the modern times we only were winning about one a decade .

I agree that splitting dublin would just make them weaker but dont see how interest in GAA in dublin is relatively small.

For administrative purposes only. Identity is huge and these so called counties have been in existence for years and nobody identifies as from them. theyre dubs. it isnt a solution. try make a mid dublin and see how people would make of it. not a hope people would do it.

A split dublin doesnt benefit all counties. 2 dublin sides in a provincial final would be terrible for all counties bat your own and very few others.
