Gulp.

So there were a few elements to this

15 players on a team but there were generally no subs, so 60 was the max. The main issue was that Eoin O'Duffy was the first garda commissioner and he was mad about GAA and insisted that all gardaí stationed in Dublin played for Dublin.

Do the actual answer was four dubs. So we're saying goodbye to LoughC and also to Heidi, hard luck guys. Aris swoops in for tomorrow's pass

First lady we've lost in a long time, I know Kathleen, Clara, Molly are ladies and I think Rainbow and Posy? Anyone else?

Kathleen, I’m not sure I approve of you putting an answer on thread

And by not sure I mean don’t!

Really sorry. It was meant as a piece of craic. I didn't pay any attention to it, certainly didn't google.

I asked at 13:54 should i answer or not. Heard nothing and put a tongue in cheek answer in thread at 20:01. Over 6 hours when nobody said don't. I was actually acting the maggot. Was laughing when i put the answer in.
If you want to throw me out because of this i will accept decision.

Well nothing that drastic Kathleen!

Toto Wolfcastle · 19-01-2021 11:27pm

I'm not sure many people would refer to me as a lady but technically I am.

Loughc · 19-01-2021 11:28pm

I had a feeling it was a trick question I thought it was minor and senor teams both won those years or something so I doubled up and added two to be unique

I bid ye all a good evening.

C’mon Posy bring the title home!

Trigger · 19-01-2021 11:31pm

I bloody knew it was going to be lower! Should have risked it ffs, bottled it because I was in the playoffs!

Kolido · 19-01-2021 11:31pm

I dont really get that answer, yes I get that only 4 where from Dublin. But sounds like it was a really big squad or a very small gardai force in Dublin.

Its probably too late in the day to explain it now.

More that any gardas that wanted to play had to play for dublin, it made them a lot stronger

I think even to this day, if you look at those who are active in GAA clubs in Dublin, you will find that in the majority of cases that at least one (and probably more) of either their parents or grandparents came from the country.

So it was a trick question? How was anyone supposed to know that people playing from Dublin were not from Dublin?

I presume going by the answers everyone interpreted it as the total number of people representing Dublin in the four matches.

Off topic but there was a radio documentary on newstalk that discussed this and put the current success of Dublin down to free second level education as this developed a professional class that moved from the country up to Dublin. The south side was mostly rugby and cricket before then but the new arrivals brought GAA with them and built up a load of clubs and built a much larger pool of talent for the county.

I just assumed that you had to be from the county to play for them, but some would have played in more than one final.

Here's a sickening thought for Mayo's representative here, Green&Red: some of the Dublin squad that have defeated Mayo in recent years could well have Mayo roots! :pac:

Declans post was about recent times and not the question itself.

Up the Dubs!

What is a 'dub' anyway?
How do you define one? Someone who lives in dublin?
Someone who lived most of their life there?
Someone born there?
Do their parents have to be from Dublin?
Can you just decide that you're a dub inside a culchies body?????

How do you identify?

What is anything really other than a hook to hang your hat on?

I don’t think anyone who isn’t a Dub is going to claim to be one.

From a Dub.
