Are we all in agreement that the main reason Dublin have been so successful in the last few years is due to the amount of money(millions) given to them by HQ and the state of the art facilities built for them. It has ruined football

No one is asking you to read or even comment on this thread

More to do with the huge population in a small area and them having made really intelligent management and administrative appointments in the last 10 years

Going by that logic should New York or London not be a top GAA team given their population ??

It’s all comes down to money

Money certainly assists them but in saying that how so then is it that the Dublin hurlers havent won an All Ireland in recent times.Equally why did they go 20 odd years without a football All Ireland when the population abd money was there also then.I agree money makes its easier for them in terms of their playing set up across the county whereby even junior clubs have superb facilities but its also a culture within the county teams,they have set up the best coaches and underage system from a long way back which is reaping rewards now.Money certaintly helps,home advantage massively helps but the level of consistency they have is down to the management team and players.They train harder than any other squad,yes they have the best facilties but money alone only assists in making them better,its down to individuals on the pitch ultimately that make them win...Kilkenny won many All Irelands in Hurling despite the size and population of them,was it money won those titles too,No it wasnt.

The reason they have the best players is because they can afford to pay the best trainers,coaches and backroom staff.

Because the standard is so high they’re playing catch up. They haven’t pumped anywhere near as much into hurling than they have football.

Not really there administration and management in NY or London is nowhere near what Dublin GAA have put in place.

Plus I am talking GAA playing population not general population.

How many senior clubs in Dublin have 5 or 6 fully stacked squads

Exact same guy who goes onto soccer & GAA sites and talks all about swinging!

Diego Maradona didn't grow up playing in the lush greeen pitches of Wembley or Old Trafford and he did okay for himself Desire & inner drive is what makes champions not wearing the best football boots or playing on the best pitches...

Anyway Op, hope Santa gets you a little football and a jersey to show off to us on your profile pic

I think playing every game at Croke Park plays a bigger part than the money.

Still though, they're a great team so I don't begrudge them their success.

But you have to admit it's not fair that they play every game in front of tens of thousands of home support.

Clearly they are given an advantage over the other counties.

Lazy post for the fact that it ignores the hours of effort put in by coaches with underage football the last 15 years that developed the footballers winning all round them. It is from the bottom up Dublin built and it is how it should be done not just in GAA but all sports. And I am a Meath man saying this.

Thats a secret Northern Ireland

You can’t buy natural talent no matter how much you have.

Plus it’s the biggest county in Ireland pretty much compared to smaller counties

There is massive money being pumped into Cork GAA a year and a centre of excellence created in the last few years and its a shambles still. My point is its not all about money.

My advice is enjoy one of the great GAA teams we have seen and dont worry about it

Its cause people leave other counties to come work in Dublin.

What are the other counties doing to keep these players loyal? To make them travel down for the matches?

On the plus side they get grants for Uni that are not available to Dublin born people. So I guess it evens out.

Alan from cavan .please tell us what happened you and Dublin ...You are very bitter towards them ....do you know the amount of money sponsorship been pumped into monaghan Tyrone and mayo for training and facilities ...it's enormous...all Dublin coaches are ex players .coaching teams from underage upwards .and the supporters down here go to see their team playing and pay....it's not our fault if other counties have brainless managers and coaches .mos counties have coaches from outside their county..and pay them big money .him Gavin doesn't get paid and he is head and shoulders above anyone else

We didn't hear anything about the money or population pre 2011 when Dublin were getting hammered every year ..with outside managers e.g. Tommy Lyons....so give it a rest .and get your own houses in order stop whinging and admire the great ers team of all time .as I know it can't last forever

They have the best players a team of stars and the underage teams show no signs of slowly down..they will be there or there abouts for the next 5 years at least
