Doyle questions Dubs’ Croker bias

Wexford footballer Aindreas Doyle has alluded to a finance-over-fair-play mentality in the GAA when it comes to their treatment of Dublin.

Speaking in Croke Park yesterday ahead of his side’s Leinster semi-final clash with the All-Ireland champions, the defender suggested that, given their league games are now also played at headquarters, the venue means Dublin always play at home come championship and that’s making it more difficult for the opposition.

“I’ve been known to bring this up in the past,” said Doyle. “I think last year Dublin played 14 games and 11 of them were here, between league and championship. That’d be unheard of in any other sport.
