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

Tbh it's yourself who 100% deserves the majority of the blame for this , you never give truthful responses and just answer with the same nonsense over and over again, it's very tiresome and you clearly are anti Dublin and only want Them split to help keep your County Kerry top of the pile .

You have not. You weren't even talking about Connaught until right now. If you had, you'd provide a link or repeat the reasons. But you can't. Because you didn't.

What happens in Leinster has no impact on anyone's chances of getting out of Connaught, or Ulster or Munster.

Leitrim won't suddenly become champions because the Dubs have been quartered. Mayo might. Kerry probably will. But Leitrim still won't be able to get past Sligo or Galway so they won't even be able to test themselves against the bigger teams.

Repeating the same auld shite with the same auld dearth of reasoning every time while simultaneously calling that shite 'evidence' is the mark of a man who has lost the debate long, long ago.

I mean, you're even contradicting yourself here without realising it, because you haven't thought through what you're saying.

Having no Dublin lurking in the shadows makes everyone more competitive, including Leitrim now, does it? Well if everyone is more competitive, then their chances of progression are exactly the same as they were before the split, correct?

Kerry have unfair advantages over most Counties , playing in a hurling province 84 Munsters titles , total domination in Munster for over a century, only having to peak for the Semi/All Ireland finals leading to an unfair advantage in terms of less injuries peaking for only a couple of weeks compared to other Counties in other provinces,no wonder they have won 38 All Irelands !! In the interest of a level playing field if Dublin has to split Kerry and possibly others would have to also. Weaker Counties would possibly have to amalgamate also , but no all your interested in is for your own County Kerry to gain another advantage by having Dublin split , you don't give a monkeys about weaker Counties and a level playing field.

Absolutely agree, in fact, there is an argument that we need to split Mayo, Galway and Cork as well. Imagine that we could then see the likes of Clare, Waterford, Tipperary, Leitrim, Sligo and New York regularly winning provincial football championships. What a boost for the game. The fairness and integrity of the game would be massively increased.

However, given that Kerry have been the most advantaged for the longest time, we should probably start with splitting them and see how it goes for the first decade or so. After that, we can then split Dublin, Mayo, Galway and Cork if it works. Given Kerry have so many titles, it won't really affect them.

Now you are talking. We would have a full season of matches to watch as well, plenty of football, and imagine if they all had their own county ground as well.

Not at all, success isn't a problem if done fairly but this hasn't been the case for Dublin due to their unique advantages in population, funding, playing at home etc. People rightfully had no issue with Kilkenny's success from 2006-12. People rightly do have a problem with Dublin's success as it hasn't come fairly. So Dublin alone should be split to benefit the game as a whole due the enhanced prestige, integrity and fairness that will result.

The unfair advantages that Kerry have had for over a century have been listed here many many times, so best that we start with splitting them given the long history of their unfair advantage. After a decade, we can review, and if it has worked, we can split other counties, including Dublin.

People have rightly had a problem with Kerry's unfair advantages for decades, I remember talk of it in 1980 when it took three games to win an All-Ireland (which completely devalued and put an asterix against their five-in-a-row). The other point is that Kerry have had so much success over so many decades that Kerry people almost take it for granted, so they won't begrudge being split and letting others have access to the level playing field.

Definitely the way to go and a much better future for Gaelic Football.

You have provided a load of lies , And once again we go around in circles "jesus wept "splitting Dublin would only help a handful of Counties , your own Kerry benefiting the most , if Dublin were to be split , Kerry would have to be split and possibly a few other Counties also to level the playing field for all Counties.

As above winning fairly isn't an issue, it's just when 84 Munsters titles and 38 All Irelands have come off a platform of unfair advantages that we have a problem, this is the case with Kerry, so Kerry should be split if Dublin is split and possibly a few other Counties also , it's clear to everyone your not interested in a level playing field and just want Dublin split to keep Kerry on top , this thread is a farce its pure and utter nonsense and should be closed.

Not at all- Kerry don't have any unfair advantages- the unique combination, nature, scale and duration of advantages in terms of population, funding and home pitch advantage is exclusive to Dublin. As I've said before, winning per se is not a problem. Just winning unfairly is. Equally not winning, but competing off an unfair platform, like Dublin did pre-2011 is also a problem- Dublin should always have been split on population grounds, long before the overfunding started (as the GAA previously proposed). Btw Kerry never won five-in-a-row. The provincials should be scrapped but this would be a secondary measure after a Dublin split, which would be far more beneficial to the GAA. Provincials have been less relevant since the back door of 2001, and much less so since the Super-8s and other formats since 2018. But the negative impact from the population, funding and home pitch advantage that Dublin enjoy has become far more pronounced over the same period.

Not at all- as I've said before, if Dublin won fairly I wouldn't mind (on the contrary, I'd be the first man to congratulate them). But this hasn't been the case. Equally, if Dublin don't win, they should still be split, as they would continue to be unfairly advantaged vs everyone else.

Yea at all , Kerry have had unique advantages for over a century, yes winning is not a problem but winning unfairly is , Kerry should have been split long ago with the advantages that they had coming out of Munster for over a Century, Btw we all know Kerry never won 5 in a row , they fell short , but there advantages led them to dominate Munster for over a century winning 84 Munster titles and leading to handy All Ireland titles, Kerry's advantages are far more pronounced than Dublin , spanning over 100 years.

Methinks gaffer91 is in a panic as he sees kerrys questionable 38 titles, will be overtaken by the Dubs in the next few years 😁

I say its more he has been leading us all along, and does not belevie is half the stuff he writes himself. But been a cute kerry man he loves to just annoy the Dubs.

So I am OUT as they say.

And let him spout his anti Dublin nonsense unchallenged , ah no sure tis great crack so it is 🙄😏

This is just a friendly discussion, nobody here is in a position to actually influence the GAA as far as I know. But as I said before, if Dublin won fairly I'm commend them. But unfortunately this has not been the case, hence why I'd like them to be split to help the GAA.
