And doesnāt realise thereās Clubs outside of Dublin heās happy to see destroyed so the Dublin footballers can win 13 all Irelands in a row.
Itās always the same. Make every decision to suit the rich and the powerful and screw everyone else.
Where did he say that? He stated that transfers into Dublin are down. Iām sure if you went on the GAA website youād be able to run the numbers.

The transfers have exploded.
His initial comment was high profile players. That tells you all you need to know about his mind set.
Which he then clarified and said thereās been a decrease at all levels.
As I said you can back your point up with the numbers but Iād take @binkybarnes viewpoint over yours as he knows Dublin Gaa
Itās a fact.
The brain drain from rural clubs to Dublin āclubsā has exploded.
Every decision is protect and suit the super powers while shafting the weaker counties and smaller clubs.
A cursory look at the IC transfer list shows the overwhelmingly majority of transfers are to the USA/UK/AUS.
We thank the split season for that too. There is no point hanging for a summer locally anymore.
And thatās been the case for the past 12 months I reckon. Transfers into Britain are on the up again but outside London , Iād say they are still down on pre Covid levels
Have you the numbers so if itās a fact? Saying itās a fact doesnāt make it a fact.

Typical paddy defend the super rich screw the man at the bottom.
There has always been a culture in the GGA to doff the cap to wealth, hence they are in awe of rugby but hate football
As we see regularly smaller nations can compete in world cups in soccer.
Every single decision in the gaa is being made so the weak canāt compete at inter county gaa.

When you make decision after decision that just dumbs the whole thing down, it just loses its relevance.
Thatās the reality.
There is a ādip in and outā culture developing at Club level now that wasnāt there pre split season.
Why does every single decision have to be made to suit the powerful counties?
Meath and Dublin was an iconic rivalry. Now nobody watches. Why? Because the gaa took away Meaths chance of competing.

Speaking of dumbing down, Iāve just found out that Dublin v Meath is on this afternoon on the second Sunday of April in the split season Leinster Football Championship.
Itās not that long ago that Dublin v Meath, usually on the last Sunday in July was one of the biggest events of the year in Irish sport played out before a packed Croke Park.
Now hardly anybody knows or cares. The split season zealots will tell us though that this is progress.

Youād hear lads talking about Meath and Dublin games of old at the back of mass not so long ago.
Now nobody knows itās even on.
The gaa robbed meaths chance.
The split season in GAA has torn families asunder, shattered dreams of bonding on the sidelines, and left innocent children wandering lost, their hopes dashed by the cruel hand of bureaucracy. Itās a tragedy of epic proportions what theyāve done to working class people and those with disabilities.
