ah here seriously, if any of you even bothered to check you'd all see that the majority of people giving out about the roscommon suporter's booing are'nt even from mayo but sure why let a small little detail like that get in the way glasagusdhearg (Mayo) - Posts: 55 - 01/08/2017 22:59:53 2027658 Link 1 |

Have you spent much time watching soccer on the terraces to form that opinion?

Agree 100% with you on this. Has become more evident in recent years. The big intercounty game is just another event to attend or to be seen at.

The whole thing is blown out of proportion in my opinion as a Roscommon supporter I don't condone it at all but its time to move on the majority of Rossie fans have great respect for Andy. He did let himself down in Kiltoom as a minority of Roscommon supporters did on Sunday. I think a line should be drawn under it and we push on to hopefully what will be a great game on Monday and whoever wins will be supported by the other for the rest of the champo. Hon the Ros

Exactly. Let's face it, if these are considered major issues then we definitely have an organisation to be rightly proud of.

Jesus how has this managed to get SIX pages? Booing goes on all the time, Mayo fans as guilty as anyone, Monaghan fans, Dublin fans everyone at it. We had a rump behind the goals in Clones the last day who decided to shout what they probably saw as banter at the victorious Derry minor team as they walked behind the goals to take their seats for the senior game when the rest of the crowd saw fit to give them a round of applause as they went by. Not nice but all part of the crowd that goes to games nowadays. But six pages on booing?

Is there a similar story with Tom Parsons? MURPHB33 (Dublin) - Posts: 166 - 02/08/2017 10:42:58 2027752 Link 0 |

It's the "holier than thou" argument put forward by a small minority of posters who seem to think soccer is only watched by sub-species and that anything, ANYTHING at all the GAA might have in common with it, on or off the pitch, means we're going to hell in a handcart!

Time to close this thread - the story has gotten more legs than it deserved. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 02/08/2017 11:14:04 2027766 Link 3 |

Fair point. These type of people wouldn't care to admit that there is also a very large crossover in support between the two codes. I'm living in Dubln the last few years. I'm playing club football in Dublin, I rarely miss a Mayo game. However I'm also a regular at Dalymount Park following Bohemians and I follow Ireland all over Europe. Off to Georgia next month for the match there. I love both and there is a lot more in common than some of the purists might like to admit.

Yep close it away as it has now had the desired and effect. Mayo will use this as a psychological advantage and it will probably be worth a point or two for them in the replay. I don't condone the booing but tbh I didn't feel it to be noteworthy as it is common-place whether we like it or not. All Roscommon fans in my area stood up to clap him as he was being substituted but of course that doesn't get mentioned. Always the negative shite that gets the headlines! GL in the replay!

That is so true. I see it in my own county....the clowns shouting abuse and booing wouldn't have a clue what club they belong to. I suppose every county has them though

Were Aidan and Seamus o Shea not born in Kerry? Read somewhere that they lived in Mullingar for a year or 2 playing underage with St.Lomans before moving on to Mayo.

No, he was born in Mullingar and moved to Mayo at 3 yrs old. Both his Mother and Father are from the Killorglin area.

I gave my opinion on the matter and most people posting would know that Roscommon supporters behave better than some that I know. I think people were making comments relating to the general booing which goes on. At most matches one would be lucky to not be within earshot of a clown shouting abuse when all the frees are not given to the side he is supporting. Most of the guys who shout/boo do not even know the rules of the game. I would say that most players are not in the least upset by opponents booing them.
