Would an awful lot of the lads on Hill 16 not be inner city EPL bartstoolers?
Yeah a good few would I suppose in fairness. Still very small number of them percentage wise would have proper interest in the sport and almost none would play it.

One of them was also about to lay a wreath to commemorate the murder of 14 people.
Cluxton will smile in December if he gets to raise Sam.

Cluxtons act was pure class. While not being very vocal he has a certain gravitas and it was shown by Dublin players allowing him to lead them down to the the corner of the hill. It was a special moment.

I liked especially how they decided to do it after the game.
In terms of population Dublin is now closer to a province than a county. I think it should be treated as such. Divide it into 4 or 6 or whatever and let each entity be treated as a county in the championship

Dublin have not really been a force in hurling over this period and have probably regressed since 2013 .
The big problem for the GAA is that attendances will really go down even further in football . Saturday night has really driven that home .

When the time comes It will be a team event.
RTE could knock a decade of documentaries out of that post
Lads going buck ape, because Dublin are successful, who come from clubs who are almost as dominant. If you went to split the clubs they’d split your head.
It’s a hobby at the end of the day.
Nobody forces anybody to play nor does their livelihood depend on it.
Split Dublin but then split Kilkenny so Offaly have a chance etc.
A knock out championship has proven to be the way to go to benefit underdogs. Surprise surprise. Stick with that if you want teams to have a chance to achieve their own little bit of immortality.

Lads can’t get their head around the dubs not being at the bar in coppers boasting about their medals…they use their profile for the betterment of society and it drives lads wild…
