never mind the inter county game,there must surely be some outrageous club rivalries. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 10/01/2017 12:36:49 1944528 Link 0 |
Yeah I think you're pretty accurate there. I don't think Tyrone would look at Monaghan as rivals. Monaghan have 2 recent Ulster titles but lost to Tyrone in Croker when it mattered. On the flip side, those losses probably do leave a sour taste in Monaghan minds and while they feel they can compete with Tyrone they'll call it a rivalry. Expect that to end when McManus' legs start to go tho. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5021 - 10/01/2017 12:39:11 1944529 Link 0 |
For me being from North Kildare the rivalry with Meath is intense. Their rivalry with Dublin for the last 10 years or so has been irrelevant as has our. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 10/01/2017 16:38:24 1944595 Link 0 |
Meath and Cork had a very bitter rivalry in the late 80s and early 90s. They met in 4 All Ireland finals which included a replay. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 10/01/2017 17:03:51 1944609 Link 0 |
Anyone that says a rivalry is one-sided and their county is not bothered is absolutely twisted with bitterness. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12133 - 10/01/2017 17:11:35 1944612 Link 1 |
How do you figure that? I'm sure there are Meath fans for example who see Dublin as their big rivals, but I'm certain there are some, particularly younger, Dublin fans who don't see Meath as a rival due to how far they've fallen behind. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5021 - 10/01/2017 18:48:34 1944656 Link 0 |
Lived and worked in Cork during 80s, the bitterness between the two went very deep. Hated the sight of one another.

The worse has to be Cork and Kerry, there was a prank call on a radio station few years ago around the All Ireland Final between Kerry and Cork where I think a Kerry man wanted a Cork delivery business to bring a delivery from Dublin to Kerry, the item would be picked up at 5pm on Sunday, it was the Sam Maguire cup, the Cork man lost the head, it was somebody pretending to be a Kerry man but it showed how sore some people get around football matches especially when you are playing bitter rivals riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 10/01/2017 21:29:26 1944716 Link 1 |
Exactly but if your not from down here people just wouldn't get it, hence some of the comments in reaction to me saying its the fiercest in the inter-county scene. But it is, they have been going at each other for 127 years. They've contested 90% of Munster finals between them and 2 All-Irelands already since the back door came in. When the ball is thrown in at a Cork/Kerry Munster final everything is on the line... TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 10/01/2017 23:01:35 1944740 Link 2 |
Royal dunne I would like to tie you to a chair and force you to watch westmeaths come back against Meath in 2015 a hundred times. Lol

First one I have to say is tipp and Kilkenny . Gf is from carrick and I've witnessed many fights on nights out after all Ireland's and semis just over the small ball . It's a rare town that is technically in both Kilkenny and tipp with Waterford 50metres across the bridge .Not many towns have three all Ireland constesting counties in the one little area . ..possibly Waterford /tipp a little too GameOfTyrones (Tyrone) - Posts: 469 - 11/01/2017 10:51:00 1944783 Link 0 |
Sure it's not like the Galway support would ever celebrate a win over Mayo... Oh wait.

Meath V Dublin is a rivalry. As is Kildare v Dublin. It's just not a meaningful rivalry any more though. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 11/01/2017 17:19:09 1944923 Link 0 |
How are Donegal and Tyrone not bordering?! That's news to me. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 12/01/2017 04:04:54 1945049 Link 0 |
That day will haunt me till the day I die in afraid. Lowest footballing point in my long Tim of going to Meath games. I'm still listening to it.

It is for fans. When Dublin couldn't beat Meath between 96-01 it was still a rivalry. Kerry often give Cork a hammering.Still a huge rivalry.

Replying To sceptical: "Their is certainly no love between the breifne aristocrats and our noisy neighbours but to echo my esteemed posters, Down are our rivals since our successful period coincided in a successful few decades for them. As for Tyrone, been successful in the recent decades they would class perhaps Armagh or donegal as their RIVALS. Monaghan have had a bit of a purple patch. Monaghan, like other weak counties such as westmeath, are disliked by their neighbours but can hardly claim to be anyone's historic rivals." hardcore (Monaghan) - Posts: 1366 - 12/01/2017 14:13:54 1945170 Link 0 |
Nothing in 20 years is better than nothing at all. Keep on dreaming Hardcore, but you will never get your hands on Sam. We will give you a look when we next bring him through Kingscourt and Shercock and Cootehill- take ur pick. The past was Blue, and so is the future.. An Breffnie Abu!

To be fair to Monaghan, they won the National League once I think. I've seen the pictures in all the pubs. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12133 - 12/01/2017 16:08:08 1945216 Link 1 |
