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

Dublin wont be split , your wasting your time lol.....

A split makes nothing better , except helping a handful of Counties . it will do diddly squat for the weaker Counties

You've refused to name anywhere that isn't already a stadium on the Northside of Dublin. Twice now.

I know in your bitter, hate-filled, partisan worldview that you have different definitions to everybody else, but that in no way qualifies as answering the question, never mind comprehensively. We're all aware you think this counts, but it doesn't.

In your hypothetical proposal, Dublin are split into 4. Hypothetically, All 4 teams are playing on a Sunday, at the same time. Which 4 grounds are used, please? If you're not going to bother answering the question properly, by naming 4 different stadia around the county, then don't bother your arse replying at all. If you don't reply properly, bear in mind that you are displaying to everybody that not even YOU believe the crap you are spouting.

You're the one who says this HAS to happen, remember? This is one of THE most basic questions that has to be addressed and your refusal to do so up to this point highlights exactly how much you have been blinded by your hatred and bitterness that you haven't done even the most basic of research. Even in your dream world that you've conjured out of thin air, you can't properly answer question number 1.

I am not partisan at all, hence my proposal for measures that help all counties. What am I arguing for helps Dublin immensely too, despite what you incorrectly think.

I've comprehensively answered your question already but happy to do so again. The teams can share Croke Park if necessary. There is no need to designate a stadium of insufficient capacity as their home ground, they can use Croke Park or Parnell Park as their home stadium if this is more suitable, even if not within the boundaries of a divisional side. So there is no need to build a new stadium and the capacity for accommodating enough fans is taken care of.

Your hypothetical proposal of a clash of four teams designated to play at the same time in the same stadium isn't something that will arise so there is no need to factor it in as it definitely won't happen in real-life. You may as well ask me what would happen and how I could accommodate a team who wants to play on the Moon; the issue is just not going to arise. The GAA can schedule games so that no such clash ever arises. If there is a same day event, they can play at staggered times. Lots of teams share a stadium and it's not an issue- like Inter and AC Milan, Lazio and Roma. It's no problem, scheduling planning accounts for the reality of the situation. So I've demonstrated that your dreaded scenario won't ever arise. There are much less games in an inter-county calendar than in a packed Italian footballing schedule too, don't forget that.

So the question has been addressed and now we've established that sporting teams can share a stadium with no issues for fixture scheduling and this can easily be applied in the case of the GAA. If Dublin are split, the clashes you worry about won't arise, through planning and accommodating scheduling. What will happen though is that the fairness, integrity and prestige of the All-Ireland competition will be enhanced. The real question 1 as you put is just how much the GAA will be improved by a split- and the answer is it will be significantly improved, more than by any other single measure.

Oh I accept the momentum that was building for a split in 2020 has kind of died off for now, but it'll resurrect itself for as long as Dublin are unfairly advantaged over everyone else. This is just a friendly conversation though.

I don't really see better options after a split, building a new stadium would be expensive and time consuming (and not necessary as we've seen how a stadium can be easily shared between multiple teams). But what's the alternative? Don't split Dublin and see the GAA continue to be harmed and the game continue to wither away, especially at inter-county level as people lose interest due to Dublin's exclusive and unfair advantages? I don't think that's a good option.

What a load of pure and utter nonsense

Dublin North County Cyclones could play in Skerries

Dublin North City Celtics in Parnell Park

Dublin Central Spires get Croke Park

Dublin South City Rovers in Templeogue

Dublin South County Stars play in Kilmacud

Now there would have to be slight upgrades to some of the existing facilities but it could be doable.

Not sure where the other two teams would go for now but I'll have a think. 🙂

😂🤣

Nope.

I never spoke about building new stadia, I asked you which stadia the 4 teams would use. I also said that if you couldn't name the four, at the third time of asking mind, that you'd expose your own lack of faith in your bullsh1t proposal, which you have now done quite admirably. You can't even come up with a hypothetical scenario, your imagination is so stymied.

But.......It does arise, though, all the time? What are you talking about? Saturday week, 27th of January, there are a load of League games scheduled to take place:

It is not inconceivable that your four new Dublin teams could all be playing at home in matches 1, 5, 6 and 7 which all have throw-in within half an hour of each other, with three of them being at the exact same time. "This will never happen" he says, as it's about to happen in the very next round of games.

Soccer, eh? Cool. Now do inter-county GAA teams. How many of them share a stadium? See what I mean about cherry-picking?

Nope. The person answering the question doesn't get to decide if the the answer is satisfactory or not, that's not how it works. Remember I answered "42" to your questions last week? Have those questions been addressed? Also, it's a bit fcukin rich for you to hold that postion while you've been refusing to answer which county you're from for 13 years.

Nope again. We have done no such thing.

In your opinion, which, you have repeatedly demonstrated, isn't worth a fart in the wind. "Let's take the best team, force them to split all their best players up so that the other also-rans have a chance to win a Celtic cross, alienating their fans in the process, all while hampering the smaller teams by quadrupling the number of middling/mediocre teams....that's the definition of fair and and having integrity". Please.

Nice try, but thank you for showcasing your one-eyed, blinkered, partisan bollocksology for everyone to see. Again. It must get embarrassing, making a holy show of yourself for 13 years now at this stage?

I've already comprehensively addressed this but as always, happy to do so again, in a non-partisan, Dublin-friendly way. The stadium the four teams will use will most likely be Croke Park. They can share it. Fixture dates/times etc. are designed by humans, not by some external party which the GAA does not control- the humans from the GAA can arrange fixtures in a way that will factor in that some Dublin divisional teams share a stadium and will ensure that no clashes will take place. This is what happens for other teams that share a stadium, it's extremely easy. So in the fixtures you have given, it would be designed in such a way that Dublin North play in Croke Park at 14:00, Dublin South play there at 16:00, Dublin West play away from home- it really wouldn't be an issue. For splits for other Dublin sides, a different stadium can be used e.g., Parnell Park. The good thing about GAA is the matches are quite short so it would be easy to facilitate extra games if teams share stadiums.

I'm not sure any GAA team shares a stadium yet, but it doesn't matter, the same principle has successfully been applied in other sports and it works, so we can do it to help Dublin and the GAA too.

So I've addressed the question again and we've again established that sporting teams can share a stadium with no issues for fixture scheduling and this can easily be applied in the case of the GAA. I'm happy to keep doing so (sometimes repetition helps with understanding a message) but my answers will remain essentially the same as the topic has been dealt with by me already.

You have comprehensively made an absolute fool of yourself again 😂

As has been mentioned here many many times your not interested in the prestige integrity and fairness of the All Ireland competition ,your only interested in weakening Dublin to help your own County !

No, you haven't.

You keep saying you have, but that doesn't make it true.

Outright transfer from the county championship to a revamped railway cup would though.

Home ground is just one part of county identity. I think the fact that most supporters of the divisional sides would still be seeing their clubmates compete for Sam Maguire, would know they are now competing in a fairer competition etc. would be more than enough for new identities to develop. Not to mention intra-Dublin rivalries developing.
