More fantasy stuff from you.
You are wrong. And not looking at it logically.
Many people stretch themselves to luve somewhere “affulent” but others stay somewhere else, have less stress, more dispensible income etc etc
Many Irish people do, thats the sad fact of it.
Antrim are shit for different reasons though, you only have to look at the number of their best players who consistently don’t make themselves available for their county, there seems to be a lot of apathy there to playing for Antrim.
Gearoid Adams seems to be very highly regarded in GAA circles in Antrim and they’ve coaxed a lot of their best players back this year, so I’d expect them to go reasonably well.

You have been destroyed all day. Everything you uttered a few lines up has been squashed.everything.
Excuses excuses.
Only in your head have I been destroyed.
How is it an excuse, they beat Laois last year in a qualifier game with 14 players missing. The apathy to county football there is real, it exists.
You don’t have a knowledge of the area. Ideally there would be another GAA club in Blackrock, Dun Laoighaire or Monkstown but there isn’t the land. The old Dun Laoighaire golf course probably would have been a good site for it but that’s being redeveloped for housing.
If you have a practical vision, you’ll be able to suggest at least one particular piece of land where this hypothetical new club would be situated.

Its a general idea for the entire GAA Sid. I have mentioned that or words to that affect many many times. A complete re-drawing of lines.
But i do have a knowledge of the area, and its certainly not overly affluent or really that traditionally “D4” in the sense trying to be portrayed here.
Thats not a problem and its irrelivant to this discussion.
They provide games on a wide basis. Its great. If the club scene is dominant thats a good thing, at least from a social and participation POV.
It is in relation to why Antrim are shit.
They beat Fermanagh in 2014 in the Championship, scoring 2-18. Players who contributed 2-16 of that 2-18 didn’t make themselves available for selection in 2015.
I wouldn’t be using Laois as a barometer of anything mate.
I’m not.
I’m just highlighting how many players they have made unavailable from the previous year and the apathy that exists within Antrim when it comes to playing for their county.
It has fuck all to do with anything. All it does is highlight to me how you were wrong about your urban statement
How does it do that?
If you’re proposing to split Kilmacud Crokes, it needs to be far more than a general idea. That’s an established area with very little spare land in the area where you would ideally want a new club to be situated, therefore it makes the logistics almost impossible to overcome.
Even in newer suburban edge areas where there should be more land, setting up a succcessful new club is very difficult.The general Lucan area would have appeared to be ripe for another club, however a new club in Adamstown couldn’t get off the ground and folded after a couple of years.
There is no parish rule in Dublin which means it’s a different situation entirely to provincial areas. People will naturally gravitate towards clubs with better facilities if there’s a choice, and without imposing a parish rule, you can’t stop that.
In principle I would like to see a parish rule as regards high profile imports like Dyas but that I’m not sure how that would work on a practical level, in fact it probably couldn’t.

Kev is an ideas man, he doesn’t have time to get bogged down in the details. That’s for the layabouts in Croke Park to deal with. Now fall in.
