Wonder what odds would get for Dublin football hurling double all Ireland????? Dublin looked very strong last weekend. Didn't deserve to be beaten by cork. |

I'm a Dubs fan, but to be fair, Cork were brutal yesterday. Three, or was it four scores from play over 70 minutes against a non defensive team. Woeful. As for the hurling, tradition isn't what's stopping Dublin from winning championships, the lack of guile, ruthlessness and the ability to kill off teams when they have a commanding lead is the problem there. They're still lacking a few key players. Hopefully the conveyer belt from underage level will produce the goods soon. |

I'm a tipp woman so I hope dub don't do it but they look strong. They should have beaten cork the last day in the hurling. |

The obvious point there is that none of the counties you mention have anything resembling the number of All Ireland titles that Dublin have. |

The argument about population and number of clubs is not a valid one. Dublin has an enormous population but has a drastically lower percentage of people playing gaelic football. There is possibly no other county where the competition from other codes is as prevalent and there is possibly no other county where so many people have inter county loyalties outside the county they play their club football in. Dublin clubs don't have the same gate receipts as rural counties either, for the most part, and the parish loyalty that is so important to most counties doesn't exist to the same extent in Dublin. |
