Just on the venue debate, Ewan uses as evidence the era just when Dublin became very successful, not the one before it when they lost every year in Croker, sometimes twice, not to mention league games. It was well known that the best teams in the land loved coming to Croker to play Dublin because they produced their best and always won.
Prior to this era that Ewan and others are talking about, how often did Dublin lose when playing outside Croker? ANd how often did they play outside Croker/away?

The top teams still love coming to Croker to play Dublin. However Longford are minus 10 points at least in the Leinster semi final at throw in.

Prior to 06 Dublin played away from Croker in Leinster regularly enough and truth be told won as handily as they do in croker. Loss to Laois in tullamore the only loss at a provincial venue in Leinster championship from 74-2006.

So one could surmise from this that playing away regularly in Leinster and playing in Parnell at home in the league was a disadvantage when it came to winning the AI. Or maybe I should say was not a massive advantage to winning the AI. On this topic, I was told recently that Dressing Room 1 is allocated on alphabetical order. This is why Dublin (Ath Chliath) get Dressing 1. Fair enough says I. The only time this didnt happen was when Ard Mhaca were allocated Dressing Room 2 when they were playing Ath Chliath for some strange reason.

All dressing rooms are allocated in alphabetical order starting on Cusack side . I've often wondered why Baile was dropped from Ath Cliath but that's just the conspiracy lover in me.

Having the baile there is incorrect when referring to the county, is it not?

Yes but Dressing Room 1 and Dressing Room 2 are in the Hogan Stand and Dressing Room 1 is the one on the Hill side of the tunnel. What dressing room you are in also dictates where you warm up.

Having the baile there is incorrect when referring to the county, is it not? On the topic of correctness - neither Baile Ath Cliath or Ath Cliath are correct translations - it should be Dubh Linn by all accounts, buth then it would make Dublin into Blackpool!!! a more complete explaination I found is In Celtic times there were four national roads called Slighe (ways or roads) that converged at a Ford on the river Liffey. The ford was known as Ath Cliath, which translates to Hurdle Ford so Baile Ath Cliath is the Town of the Hurdle Ford. At the same time there was an area where the Poddle river, (now underground) joined the Liffey. This was called Dubh Linn or as we would translate it, Black Pool. At that time the Liffey was a lot wider than it is now. Dubh Linn would have been roughly to the east side of where Dublin Castle is now. The first vikings settled (after they got fed up plundering and pillaging us for years) on the south side between the Hurdle Ford and the Black pool. As the previous poster said the hurdle ford was roughly where Father Matthew bridge is now

Pat Gilroy was adamant at the time that holding the Spring Series in Croke Park was vital & important for the development of the Dublin football team. It familiarised them with the place. For the moment he has taken the Dublin hurler's championship games out of Croker, until they reach a certain level. Revise psychology - it is brilliant. Take the Cats to Parnell, almost paid off...............

Disappointing day for the Kerry clubs at Comórtas Peile 2018 up in Donegal with Lispole and Gaeltacht both falling at the 1st hurdle.
Laochra Loch Lao from Antrim got the better of Lispole in the preliminary round of the junior competition on a final score of 4-9 to 2-11.
An Cheathrú Rua then knocked out the defending champs An Ghaeltacht in their senior quarter final this evening. The Galway lads won out 2-9 to 1-10 in the end. A late goal by Padraig Ó Sé gave the West Kerry boys some hope of a rescue act, but going by the RnaG commentary it sounded like they've only themselves to blame with some bad wides in the 2nd half.

It's a very long article ... Could you summarise it please? Some crazy goings on O'Dwyers club Balbriggan. Again involving the underage section. Coach despite unprecedented success and parental /player acclaim...he was "fired" by the executive at the end of season. At a meeting afterwards he was defamed by the club chairman. There was a major fall out in the club resulting in u14 players voting with their feet. Dublin county board come out very poorly in this as do some national figures. There's a lot of unanswered questions especially in relation to a cheque paid from a company acting for the GAA apparently. As I said a lot of unanswered questions. The Árd Stiurathóir is tangled up in this too. The club officers and county officers come out very poorly by this telling. Crazy carry on.

Mark O'Connor has signed a one-year contract extension with Geelong in the last few days. The following is a quote from the manager of the reserve side from the game at the weekend. A one-year contract extension is a standard enough move for those on the international contracts. Overall it seems like he is continuing to develop and Geelong at the moment see a future for him. From a Kerry point of view it pushes back any potential return to the green and gold out a year i.e 2020 at the very earliest. www.geelongcats.com.au/news/2018-06-01/stewart-signs-on

The paucity of GAA coverage on RTE TV must make Sky's negotiating position so easy. Looking at the TV schedules this week , you 'd struggle to find any mention of championship outside of the weekend matches-yes I know the games are covered and we have the Dessie show stale, male and the same as ever it has been but the absence of even 1 features/ magazine/discussion show is lamentable.
There has been so much to talk about so far this year, new championship formats, the exit of tipp and Waterford, turmoil in a few counties etc etc and what do we get ? The Marty Crowd on a Sunday evening on the radio.....
Seo Spoirt really is a loss, they could have started it earlier this year while RTE are busy with the chaps in Australia and the soccer.....

I thought they missed a trick not using the second captains lads for a weekly gaa show just look at the interview with Ciaran mcdonald they did excellent stuff

We hear a lot of similar sentiment these days. However, and maybe I'm just thick, but I genuinely can't figure out what it is that these people are looking for. Don't want a tiered championship - fair enough. It's not about money - ok. There's a reference to the American football draft pick and salary cap systems, which obviously aren't applicable to the GAA. Neil Ewing wants the Sligos and other weaker counties to play with the big boys but seems to bemoan the professionalism needed at that level. Is it that he wants the top teams to drop their standards to accommodate the others? He doesn't agree with the super 8s and sees it as elitist even though it's quite the opposite - getting there, and thereby playing several top teams, is actually very achieveable for a lot of counties. I'm seeing a lot of rather vague grumblings but, aside from expanding Div 1 of the league, no real ideas. Maybe I'm misreading but I really don't get what he's on about here.
