The full time coaches have virtually nothing to do with this Dublin team.
Ffs Colm Parkinson was GDA when some of these lads were coming through. How many have Parnells produced?
The dublin team as a stand alone senior side has fuck all advantages other than the travel one over some counties. But itās really a small few, Mayo being one.
Many dubs would be stuck in traffic longer than Meath/Kildare/wicklow lads going back to training.
Cork have no issues really like that.
Kerry have a vouple but I know in 2 cases they choose to be in Cork over getting jobs at home, and again the journey is not excessive.
I am sure some sligo/Rosscommin/Donegal players suffer. But thatās life.
Sure Wexford have lads who can choose to give up working to play full time GAA.
Lots of county teams have students and teachers who are able to devote huge amounts of free time to the GAA.
Crokes have two full time coaches. They are spread amongst 130 teams. Their main job is to try and help parents who have no GAA backgrounds coach the kids running workshops and providing some guidance.
The next Dublin manager will struggle to replicate what Gavin has done.
Begley was, and heās a fine GDA tbf, currently working Laois GAA. JOL is also I believe, but at Brigidās. Colm worked in the IFSC, and was happy to take coin for no work from Parnells. Heās now the man behind the best GAA Podcast in ireland.
Someone set up a wordpress webpage to create a blog for the sole purpose of trying to ridicule Ewan McKenna? I hope that wasnt you Sid. What a sad bastard.
Another burying the head in the sand piece though. Going on about other counties and their centres of excellence, but yet in the same piece mentions 3 separate grounds where Dublin have access to train at, all provided by public funds. bemoaning having their Gym gear taken away from Abbotstown, a state of the art centre that they had access to and funded by taxpayers.
MacKenna will never have to pay rent again, he is living rent free in Dublin in about a million homes.
Iām finding the seethe from Dublin fans all the better. āweāre the best ever, appreciate us, give us attention, fuck off with your financial dopingā.
thats true. Setting up a website with the sole aim of replying to a freelance journalist living in Brazil is the act of someone enjoying Dublins success alright.
Dublin should take a look at how Limerick are reacting. They won the hurling all ireland and are now the best team to have ever lived. They do not give a shit what anyone else says and dont listen to the shite at all. Too busy beering and enjoying the best under 13 club hurling championship in Ireland
