No, even without the doping population and home ground made it lopsided, that has killed it. Time to make Dublin its own province as it should have been decades ago. Someone has to take the lead and not field. Whatâs the point in Kildare bringing players through after winning an u20. Theyâll see the reality and head off to Australia. Why wouldnât they itâs a fix.

They certainly have it the way they want it now anyway. Itâs a shame really.
Leinster final attendance up 15% this year. A competition on the up. And why wouldnât it be with football like Dublin played today.

Does Rafferty have any history as a keeper or is he just an outfielder playing in goal?
A lack of goalkeeping breeding is bound to show up in a penalty shoot out.
His issue wasnât the shoot out. It was everything before.
It is but theyâll never see it. They are British soccer fans, in every sense, they see nothing wrong with man city buying success for years so when the same happens in the GAA weâll thatâs sport then innit. Except it isnât. Whoâs gonna be brave enough in leinster to ask for fairness?
So was No.10 who came on for Derry near the end of normal time. Was it Padraig Cassidy? His first act was to be dispossessed by Jarly Ăg for a move which lead to Brendan Rodgers black card iirc.

Not his first act at all, he was well involved up the field a few times before that
Im surprised a little nipper like McGuckian from Glen didnât feature.
I thought heâd light it up in Extra Time with his pace.
If they had anyonw to beat it would be. But as it is, meh.
Just the 16 point average winning margin for Dublin as they won their 13th Leinster Championship, winning their 39th consecutive match in the tournament.
How many football all Ireland finals have been contested by two Leinster teams since things changed in 2001 ?
Two Leinster teams have contested finals since 2001. As many as Munster and Connaught. Meath 2001 is an outlier though given how theyâve fallen off a cliff since then.
How many leinster counties have reached the all Ireland in the last 22 years outside man city?

I mean a Leinster v Leinster all Ireland final . Who exactly are Dublin blocking from getting to a final ?
Exactly and teams qualify for all Ireland once knocked out of province for a good while now .
The other Leinster counties are going to have to decide once and for all whether they consist of proud GAA peoples with proud football traditions, or if theyâre just a bunch of cheese and onion eating surrender monkey layabouts.
Theyâre trying to play as both things, and itâs not working.
