A few steps to bring games to the next level

CHRISTY COONEY’S decision to re-ignite the debate about splitting Dublin in two seems pretty silly this week. If a united Dublin team can’t cope for 20 minutes without Bernard Brogan, how would a second side in the city manage an entire season without him? Would we divide Bernard in two as well?

The GAA president is perfectly entitled to raise issues like urbanisation and redrawing provincial boundaries.

But we are also entitled to ask the question, why now? The Corkman is about to enter the last year of his presidency. He has minimal chance of being able to do anything to change the status quo.
