I remember the “debate” in 2011. McStay on RTÉ is comic gold at the time. The defender himself spoke about the extra covering man, which makes zero difference.

Later that year mcmenanin taking ridiculous for the goal, soft free to win it and not adding any extra time despite taking an age from when it was rewarded to when it was kicked. The GAA were desperate for Dublin to win it and they got their wish. Same in the 95 final Tyrone absolutely robbed.

God, it’s been a while since I’ve heard these ones. The steps weren’t “ridiculous”, any more than the vast majority of goals scored like that. And the the extra time thing is at the discretion of the referee. You don’t add on time for every free kick taken during a game.

1995, there was no “robbing” either.

Come out of that. Kevin MC and Murchan at the weekend blessed with the refs letting them away with it. Was 95 not the match where Redmond refused to leave the field after the sending off and dublin's winner was wide?

Totally agree, but the solution to that is not simply cut Dublin into 3 or 4 but its also the almalgation of counties etc.

However i will add look at the work that Monaghan have been doing over the last number of years compared to say Kildare or Meath who have huge populations and Cork also. The performance by other Leinster counties with large populations in the qualifiers has been terrible. Meath finally got their act together this year but were also beaten in all of their super 8 games.

But if population size is the basis for reform then the whole thing needs to be looked at and not just Dublin.

Strange post basing "success" solely at senior level.

Cork won the minor and u20 All Ireland double this year.

Kildare have 3 out of the last 5 Leinster minor titles and won the u20 All Ireland last year.

Meath's minors won Leinster in 2018 to their credit also.

In regard to Meath's super 8 performances/results, in truth making the super 8s was an achievement in itself on top of throwing away a big lead in the league final (one they should have never lost) all in all they had a good year.

Most if not all of the top clubs in Dublin have their own development officer, I think in the whole of Laois there are 5 that have to cover the whole county and that makes a massive difference.

Murchan’s and McManamon’s goals were very different. 9 times out of 10 McManamon’s is awarded.

The Redmond incident was a mess. It was a miscommunication, which was patently obvious at the time.

The reason is senior football is the stick to beat Dublin with and is the reason people
Are saying Dublin’s success is ruining gaa. If they were taking
Minor into it their argument would run dry.

The step up from both Minor and U-20 standard to Senior Inter-County football is huge. It was never the greatest indicator of future trends in the past and even more so now.

Yeah don't Dublin win the majority of u20/21 titles over the last 10 or 15 years? Even this year they made the final and had the top player of the championship.

Could be worse avoided Donegal/Tyrone, easier side of the draw with Antrim, Fermanagh/Down. Take that.

Was a terrible idea.  Is there no health and safety legislation to prevent unsafe practice like that occurring?
