That was a disgrace. And it must be part of their masterplan to kill any iota of interest in football in the county. The GAA need to step in and stress that there are two codes!
When Cavan pulled their senior hurling team a few years back it wasn't to end it but to start again with proper structures. Likewise, look at Kerry hurling. No one is expecting KK to become world beaters but my god, that scoreline is unacceptable.
Can we win a 5 in a row first?
Money has always been sloshing around Dublin GAA we're just using it well now.
If other counties are struggling to replicate our (recent) success why not ask for help with structures. Rather than going it alone. I mean spunking all your cash on PUC is noble and all but Cork GAA isn't really a monument of "how it should be done".
Kerry on the other hand have lorded it over the rest of the country with "their way" and handy all Ireland's for years. Where were the calls for them in the 2000s when they were getting to AIF after AIF. Let them take their pasting and back to the long-grass in the hills. I for one won't miss their whinging and negativity.
Even in the papers this morning all the coverage is about the doom and gloom in Kerry and not of what we are doing right. It would be nice if some credit came our way. Rather than the shortcomings of our vanquished opponents.
Kerry are not short of money and never have been. They are just at the end of a cycle. That's all.
The longer they continue with Gooch, Donaghy and their ilk the longer that this downturn will go on for. And as I say, no loss.
Listening to the Kingdomers around me yesterday was like the old days where everything that went against them was some sort of conspiracy etc. I had hoped that given how last year's AIF had gone and the attitude post-match about town about how the better team won and that Kerry were poor that a certain acceptance of this Dublin team actually being "great" that something similar might have pervaded. But not to be. Even when Cluxton was making his speech they complained.
Dublin, Tyrone, Mayo---Cork, Kerry, Donegal, Roscommon--- The rest
If Cork don't get the yips like they did last year then I can see them winning Munster.
