U-21 Hurling 2018

But if you don’t know what we’ve won how can you claim it’s been a poor return on investment?

If Galway won loads of titles it would have registered. The only title I can think of this year is Corofin winning the club football title.

But I have no doubt overlooked stuff as you have claimed they are the most successful, so can you tell me what I missed?

So you don’t know what they’ve won yet feel qualified to claim this so-called investment has had minimal impact? You think Dublin are getting value for their considerable investment because they’re dominant in one grade. I don’t know the difference inn investment between Dublin and Galway but I will give a summary of how both counties fared across various grades of the GAA this year.

This is what you said. You are refusing to back this up. If you made a mistake, just admit it and we will move on, it’s no big deal.

I haven’t seen anybody get such a kicking like @mikehunt around here since @maroonandwhite yesterday. Masterclass from Mattie H.

You think that because we lost an U21 semi last night you’d have a dig but you didn’t know any of the other facts about how Galway have fared in GAA this year. “Minimal” is the word you used. Tell me who you think are the most successful county this year?

Galway have brought the football championship into disrepute after throwing the game versus Monaghan.

In football we are in the minor and senior semi finals but did nothing at U21.(2 out of 3 Connacht titles)
In hurling we are in the minor and senior hurling final. U21s won Leinster but lost semi last night. (2 out of 2 Leinster titles and in the running for 2 All Irelands)
Our delightful ladies won minor football and are in the semi of the senior. (2 out of 2 in Connacht)
Minor camogie lost the final and the seniors are in the semi.

Compare and contrast with Dublin. I will have a look at the variances in finances. The above success would suggest that Galway receive multiples of what Dublin do in GAA funding.

Needs a poll surely?

they’re holding fire well so far. some one will snap though.

Which poster will break the media silence first?

Needs its own thread. You’re almost there.

Bandage · August 9, 2018, 10:34am

Limerick posters in lockdown before @Aristotle inevitably breaks the silence. Meanwhile poor @mikehunt is looking for a pat on the head and somebody to tell him that Galway are fantastic. You literally couldn’t make it up.

Gman · August 9, 2018, 10:35am

ah fuck it, it’ll do here.

myboyblue · August 9, 2018, 10:37am

Nobody will look into a kids stickball final thread, you’ve come this far, don’t shit on it like the Limerick posters themselves.

mikehunt · August 9, 2018, 10:40am

oooft, someone doesn’t like their beloved Celtic being ridiculed.

mick_jones · August 9, 2018, 11:35am

Still a huge achievement, beat Sars in’95?

mikehunt · August 9, 2018, 1:01pm

Wow. Dublin receive 13 times the funding of the next nearest county. With that kind of financial clout they must be in the shake up for all GAA competitions each year. cc @Matty_Hislop

Figures compiled by Sunday World journalist Sean McGoldrick show that from 2007 to 2017, Dublin received €16, 612, 847 in coaching and games development grants while the next highest garnering county, Cork, received just €1, 185, 287 over the same period.
