Shan, if Dublin are so far ahead of everybody else, is it a money thing or a big population thing or just the swings and roundabouts. Will they run out of steam so that somebody else will take over in the next year or two or have they some sort of built in advantage?Shan wrote:As expected Dublin win easily enough. Tyrone started well but once Dublin got going there was only going to be one winner. That being said fair play to Tyrone for sticking with it and making some kind of a game of it.
4 in a row and no reason they can't add a 5th next year.
Croke Park in Dublin, they play every championship game at home.solidarity wrote:Shan, if Dublin are so far ahead of everybody else, is it a money thing or a big population thing or just the swings and roundabouts.

Tyrone made a real effort to get as many fans in the hill as possible. Mayo did the same last year. You could see a fairly big red and white contingent in there but it made no difference.UlsterNo9 wrote:Croke Park in Dublin, they play every championship game at home.solidarity wrote:Shan, if Dublin are so far ahead of everybody else, is it a money thing or a big population thing or just the swings and roundabouts.

Stephen Cluxton said in his victory speech that it had nothing to do with finances and population. It does seem to have everything to do with finances and population though. If Dublin win next year again they will make history as the first county to win 5 in a row. It seems like football sides go through dominant spells like Kerry in the 70s and 80s. There doesn't appear to be any real rivals for Dublin though for the forseeable future.solidarity wrote:Shan, if Dublin are so far ahead of everybody else, is it a money thing or a big population thing or just the swings and roundabouts.

It is really just swings and roundabouts. This Dublin team, while excellent, has been fortunate that Kerry have dropped off the pace. Also Dublin beat Mayo in 2 finals by a single point each time. Mayo being well known bottlers. A lot of people are now wanting Dublin split into 2 counties because they have a population advantage. It's nonsense. They weren't saying it when Dublin failed to win after 1995 until they finally managed it in 2011.solidarity wrote:Shan, if Dublin are so far ahead of everybody else, is it a money thing or a big population thing or just the swings and roundabouts.

I take leave to accuse you of a degree, but only a degree, of bullshite. I watch the hurling final - a proper game - and discussed why GAA Soccer is so shyte, with an ex-county hurler, albeit Fermanagh, but he can't help where he was born.Shan wrote:It is really just swings and roundabouts.

In Hurling Kilkenny have won 11 finals since 2000. Their county population is less than 100,000.
