County Teams Expenditure At €55M Vs Amateur Status? - 4 Like(s)
Replying To brayballer: "The dogs in the street know lads are making money. Good luck to them.I was talking to an ex Dub player recently and we were talking about money.He said he did nt realise how much playing for the county helped him financially until he jacked it in. He said the sponsored car the gigs free gym and grub all added up. He said they were nt long taking the sponsered car off him when he retired lol." All well and good for those putting in the effort in the bigger counties, it's the ones in the 'weaker' counties that deserve even more credit for keeping at it

Replying To brayballer: "Typical Donegal.Try look down at a county like Wicklow. Im not from Wicklow.Im from Dublin. You know all about us dont you? The team Donegal were so scared of they objected to us playing some games in croke park, Then whiney mc guiness says croke park too long a journey for the wee donegal fans." A fair few trips to the Pale this year alright, one more to come.
Can only imagine the bull from Dublin if you had to play all your knockout games 3 or 4 hours away.

What nonsense. People can choose to avoid tolls, people can choose public transport, people can can get together and hire private buses. There are many ways to get to Croke park you don't need to stay on main road.

Replying To Scenicparish: "For starters the league form is irrelevant. Kerry are favourites because they are the fresher team. The first real test they had was the Armagh match and it took them 15 to 20 minutes of the second half to take care of them. Against Tyrone again it was a straightforward victory.
Donegal on the other hand have had to come through a gruelling Ulster campaign and because of their Tyrone loss had a tough match against Mayo. They then had routine victories against Louth and Meath.
If Donegal can contain David Clifford reasonably well they have a great chance but that is easier said than done.
It should be a fascinating battle between 2 great teams with 2 astute managers." Kerry are the bookie's favourites because David Clifford is in good form and plenty of casual punters know who he is and think Kerry are the safer bet. They set the odds based on their predicted returns. Neither team on the day will pay a bit of heed to their own odds. Kerry very reliant on David Clifford, Donegal also reliant on Michael Murphy but less reliant on him than Kerry are on David Clifford. I think Donegal have a better balance than Kerry. Jack O'Connor is an astute manager but, for me, not a better manager than Jim McGuinness.

There has been a school of thought regularly discussed as nauseum that Donegal are overly reliant on Murphy. Really? Now don't get me wrong, his return has been quite remarkable and there is no doubt that he has strengthened our case. But our scoring threat is varied and widespread, was it 12 or 13 different scorers the other day against Meath?
So I'd ask this question. Which of the following would negatively impact their team's chances more?
David Clifford being ruled out for Kerry
Michael Murphy being ruled out for Donegal
Are Kerry over reliant on David Clifford? I've never really heard that discussed as much.

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "A better idea should be they should insist on toll free roads permanently. They are a travel tax on country people" They're a tax on everyone that chooses to use them. They can be avoided.

Tomsmith here fromCavan
I understand that big delays was evident T THE Tolls on both the roads that Tyrone and Kerry folk had to travel up to Dublin on last Saturday.
I hear that the delay stretched back 5 miles on the Belfast road from the toll booth.
An answer would be honesty boxes / buckets on the approach or even after the Toll booth .
Let the Gaa consider what can be done going forward

Replying To Belclare7: "He'll be far off the Galway jersey as he is going abroad..." The mention of a goalie emerging from the clubs sounds good if it happens, but I think Joyce's brutal honesty after matches is doing more harm than good. He'd probably ruin a new goalie's confidence in jig time after any kind of rocky performance.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "A lot of less populated counties would be far better off building joint facilities.
Dromahair (Sligo/Leitrim)

Rathowen (Longford/Westmeath)
Moneyquid (Offaly/Laois)
Arklow (Wicklow/Wexford) football
SLieverue (Kilkenny/Waterford/Wexford)
Roscrea (Tipp/Offaly/Laois) hurling" Sligo, Leitrim, Monaghan, Meath, and Louth all have their own CoE currently.
Leitrim, Sligo, Louth and Monaghan would have 17 or 18 county squads across 3 codes. Meath would have over 20 across 4 codes. That's a lot of slots in a CoE booking form.
