@my name: as a dub how can you honestly sit and say there has been no financial doping whatsoever? I think that’s the bit that gets everyone that you lot deny it’s happened not the fact it has happened. Your logic that none of the current Dublin squad have benefited for the money defies belief as well. Anyone from say 27 and under has benefited from it seeing as it started 15 years ago

@Peter: sent those grapes back they are so sour the must be gone off.

@Peter: doping ? What rules are being broken and by who?

@Mel Roberts: As I’ve said to you numerous times at this point Mel, it had no direct effect on 24 of the panel. As you’re aware there is more than 24 on the panel. I’ve also told you that the funding is for primary schools only. So do the maths. That aside, I wish David Clifford all the best, he’s a fine young player. Just as good as Brian Fenton, who had literally no funding impact, didn’t even play minor for the county. Look at him now, unbeaten in championship football

@my name: Christ you chat some garbage. Fs were you building these primary schools with that money or what?

@SF Knee Knockers: it’s the GAA, they make the rules

@my name: no direct effect the senior team having the advantages of a senior professional setup for over 10 years,while playing 2 away games in 7 years. Right gotcha!

@Peter: 2 away games in 7 years? WTF are you talking about

@Peter: so still won’t say what county your from? If you’re ashamed of your county you have no place talking GAA with any authority

@Mel Roberts: so you’ve nothing close to any sense to say then?

@Mel Roberts: you’re saying that money = success? Kerry beat Dublin by 17 points in the 2009 AI Qtr Final. Dublin were a shambles. Just 24 months later Dublin beat Kerry by a point in the AI final with virtually the same panel. This miraculous turnaround is down to “financial doping”? Back to school with you Ewan. Have you any idea of the amount of money ploughed into Kerry football, this a county with a population of 140K? Doping doesn’t even come close to describing it.

@Peter: that would be the other 31 counties, yes?

@my name: anybody can comment on the facts without GAA authority,more gombeen howya Bertie give us a digout rubbish

@my name: great yeah, so the AIG millions are for the elite setup. GAA pumping millions into the grassroots

@my name: great for Brian Fenton yeah, been training how many years now with a professional backroom team of 30 +? While playing all his matches at home

@SF Knee Knockers: send the money back if its had no effect. Level the playing field a little bit

@Peter: can you not construct more than a single thought at a time? AIG sponsorship deals are available to all counties little man. It’s pretty simple commerce really. So youre a man who’s ashamed of his county yet sprouts bigoted bitter opinion on every article not even related to Dublin GAA? That’s a whole lot of jealousy little guy. Fenton didn’t play minor, didn’t play 21’s until his final year due to injuries. No funding had nothing to do with it. Work at club level by volunteers and a hell of a lot of work to recover from those injuries got him to where he is today.

@my name: yeah great,, all the sports scientists and S&C coaches have nothing to do with Fenton. Great stuff! AIG are sponsoring all the other counties with millions from next year? Step in the right direction

@my name: says your man spouting gobbledygook

@Peter: grow up

@Peter: so by your “logic” Dublin are the only team to have a back room team of more than one? Cop on to yourself every county has a back room team, even if they can’t afford it, they still have them on board. So what’s your point? You must definitely be that “journalist” from the indo if you won’t say what county you’re from. Have some pride man and just say, I don’t care if they’re good or not. Stand up for your county or zip it

@Mel Roberts:
The hurlers get the same funding.
How many All Ireland’s have they won?

@Mel Roberts: the effing article is about the new Kerry captain

@my name: we’re talking about 30 + professional backroom team, the best money can buy. Who turn up to an away challenge match filling a second coach. Every county has this? News to me

@Henry Toye: go back to sleep with the hurling argument

@Peter: go ahead and show some facts there? You do know what they are Ewan? Ashamed of your county, whichever one it is you’re an absolute disgrace to it. Probably never been inside the door of a clubhouse in it either

@John O Reilly: go back to the start, I didn’t bro g up Dublin or their money. I know your a Cavan man and money is your favourite topic

@Mel Roberts: an article about Kerry naming their new captain,, and here you are (again) spouting on about the Dubs,,, your animosity for all things Dublin, is eating you alive,, I’d go on about the whole living rent free in your head thing if I genuinely wasn’t worried about you mate,, seek mental help, otherwise a lifetime of bitterness and hatred will lead to alienating all the people you know,, and you will end up alone twisted and angry,, all down to the childish jealousy you have for the Super Dubs. :) take care pal.

@devils avacado: living rent free? Just calling out the farce of the Dubs buying titles with the GAAs money.

@devils avacado: exactly

@devils avacado: You do realise I didn’t bring up the topic? Financial doping was mentioned before I commented

@Mel Roberts: I know you know nothing about football…. now it seems you are functionally illiterate

@devils avacado: did Peter/Mel just reply to you??

@my name: The only thing Peter is wrong about is AIG. Sponsors can pump in as much as they like. It’s when the association decides to fund one county that there is an issue

@John O Reilly: I know you love me but this stalking me is getting a bit boring now. Are you a Cavan man or a dub? Because it’s hard to know. I suppose if I was from Cavan I’d latch onto the success of another county as well given that it’s 60 years since you had any

@Mel Roberts: yet here you are pal……

@Mel Roberts: what do you latch onto… your bitter feuds and negative football. do you have any comment to make on the appointment of the new Kerry captain ? Was your ex boyfriend from Dublin, he must have really hurt you

@my name: he forgot to switch accounts LOL :)

@devils avacado: that’s just sad. He should definitely take up your advise on the getting help! Or is he gone too far ..

@Mel Roberts: ok peter sure thing

@Peter: Found a bitter culchie, enjoy the 6 in a row laddie

@my name: Listen lads I’ve never hid behind a second profile unlike some of yous. If I say something on here I wanna be sure you know it’s me said it

@John O Reilly: read the first part of your comment and see if you can even make sense of it? Yet you call me functionally illiterate. Ex boyfriend? You know jokes about sexuality were probably funny maybe 15 years ago to some people. The country has moved on tho pal

@Mel Roberts: sure

@my name: Even I think Peters a clown. But he’s not far off the mark

@Mel Roberts: no pretty little boy from Tyrone for you so

@John O Reilly: grow up.

@Peter: hopefully your boyfriend still loves you

@John O Reilly: homophobic as well now are you?

@Mel Roberts: rare breed these Dub fans, stuck in a denial timewarp, when they’re not attacking referees in Longford

@Peter: stop sucking lemons Peter

@Mel Roberts: I am a racist homophobic cavan man. But it could be worse. I could be a humourless bitter Tyrone illiterate

@John O Reilly: the only illiterate is you. Your the one that can’t string a sentence together

@Mel Roberts: *You’re.

@Peter: era cry me a river you’ll be all getting a other slapped arsx come september.

@John O Reilly: rather be a brit than from Cavan

@Mel Roberts: I’m sure you would Mel/Peter

@Mel Roberts: dunno it’s a toss up

@James: good man you can count

@Peter: Get s hobby or a girlfriend. It will help with your Dublin OCD.
