No, just denying that ulster is all that. Its not.
There are guys all over th country every year delighted to win anything. It was the 2nd best competition in Ireland that year. How is it low level?
I’m bemeaused. Why would you not be happy winning something at your level.
Its a very irish thing to be happy to just be in the same room as the big boys. Its very weird.
Yea, that’d be the reason alright. I’d respect him even more for it to be honest.

Yip. Because irish people lack balls.
Thats part of it, but another large factor is that the halls of power are infused with those that are successful and its in their counties interest to maintain the status quo.
Ok. Browne played for 11 years for Tipp. Bradley played for 13 years for Derry. It is way more likely that Derry will win an Ulster title over the course of 13 years than it is that Tipp will win a Munster title over the course of 11 years yet Browne and Tipp got closer than Derry.
Also, on your second point, lets take it back to your idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic. What has he done for Sweden that has been of more substance than what Declan Browne did for Tipp?
Thats correct too.
What?!
The facts say otherwise, consistently yielding high proportion of teams in the last 8 and top two divisions. 4 of 9 Ulster counties contested All Ireland fimaps since 2002. 6 have reached semi finals, 8 have reached quarter finals.
You keep arguing facts, the facts say Ulster is the best.
Not really, trying to win an Ulster title is difficult. Fermanagh and Derry reached All Ireland semi finals without winning an Ulster, Down made an All Ireland final without winning Ulster. Winning an Ulster is extremely difficult.
What has Bradley won?
Downs run to the all ireland was a fluke and they shat the pants against an awful Cork team. Neither side has done anything since. Fermanagh run was a fluke also. There has 3 good teams since 02 which are Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal. The other teams either prophet-ed due to there being no top team in Ulster.
2 national leagues.
He proved himself at the highest level, consistently.
It is difficult but you’d still say Derry have a better chance of winning Ulster than Tipp do of winning Munster. History would prove this. Care to comment on my second point in my last post?
@Nembo_Kid take a break mate. We get it, you love Ulster.
Bullshit.
Down destroyed Kerry in Croke Park.
Fermanagh beat Meath, Cork and Armagh before losing a replay against Mayo in 04.
Ulster teams dominate the latter stages of the Championship because it has the depth of quality, even when the draw works against them.
Never.
You will be brought to heel, by choice or by force.

Zlatan will become the European Championships all time top scorer this summer. I guarantee it.
Declan Browne scored loads during his career. Actually if you disregard club soccer as there is no equivalent in GAA Zlatan and Declan Browne are fairly similar. The lone top class player in a poor team
A kerry team missing multiple key players. Meath have done nothing since the 90s, you are always slagging of cork so that is no achievement and losing to mayo in croke part is no achievement. At the end of day the championship has its quirks. Over a 10 year period you’ll always get a few flukey runs. To win an all ireland you’ve to a be a good team to get to a final/semi final you can be very lucky. Fermamagh and Down never backed up their once off performances.
