I dont understand why anyone would shout 'BOOO' at a game or anywhere, its so stupid. All Gaa games have it these days and its really annoying. Mayo fans were not booing at the Roscommon players, they were booing the refs decision..the refs are always getting booed but it kind of gets drowned out by the opposing supporters cheering at winning a free..i think the booing and shouting abuse at Andy was very noticable as it was during play and alot of ppl didnt see any reason for it..going back to the FBD game, Andy was getting awful abuse in the dug out before coming on so all this was there before the kissing of the badge tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 602 - 01/08/2017 11:49:09 2027254 Link

The Mayo booing by Mayo fans was all through the game you must have selective hearing and especially when Donie Smith was taking his free the booing lasted for well over a minute in and around him taking the free especially while he was running up to kick it. Booing the ref is no excuse he has feelings too and is a lot more isolated in Croker than any player- And to think he was booed for giving a free against Coen for touching the ball on the ground, Its mens football you cant touch the ball on the ground. Andy only got abuse in Kiltoom after his actions on the pitch Cuckoosinging (Roscommon) - Posts: 992 - 01/08/2017 12:31:14 2027294 Link
Galway V Mayo this year. Comer got slapped in the family jewels, Mayo player gets sent off, Mayo supporters start booing Comer the rest of the match. MTS (Galway) - Posts: 279 - 01/08/2017 12:55:56 2027317 Link
Booing is pathetic really but it has been creeping into the game for a while now. The hill do everything to try and put visiting freetakers off but thats been going on for decades. The reason Rossies were booing Moran was because he kissed the mayo crest after scoring a goal in an fbd match in january. The reason Andy did this is because some young lads had been shouting personal abuse at him as he warmed up before coming on in that match. So there is context and to why Andy reacted the way he did in that match. It's a bit bizarre that ballaghaderreen is in Roscommon but the team plays in the mayo championship. There is historical reasons for this. That aint Andy Moran fault and he shouldn't be abused for it. Anyone who knows him will tell you he's a decent bloke. Always plays the game in the right spirit. Emotions were running high in such a tense and tight match on Sunday but lets hope the genuine supporters voice is head next Monday. Both sets of supporters are better than this pathetic soccer type booing. I have no idea who will win the replay, if i had to put a bet on, i'd probably still go with Mayo but it looks like Ross have the better tactical nous on the sideline. If the Rossies win, I'll shake their hands and wish them all the best against the kingdom. Ah_Here (Mayo) - Posts: 42 - 01/08/2017 12:59:12 2027323 Link
Replying To Gleebo: "The 2011 Connacht final was played in Roscommon in monsoon like conditions, leaving several roads out of Mayo impassable, so it's not a terribly good example of the county's support base, bandwagon or otherwise. Given that Mayo regularly outnumber opposition supporters at away games, I would suggest that their league support is a better metric to gauge their core fan base, much like any other county, actually. Funny that Roscommon failed to sell out their season ticket allocation, given their amazing support in comparison to their neighbours... As an aside, there's some amount of whingeing and bellyaching on these boards recently, and most of it's not coming from Mayo fans. We get it, you don't like us. Do we care? No." Talk about excuses about Mayos 2011 support.. I was at the Mayo v Longford senior back door game in Pearse park in the 2010 more Roscommon supporters have traveled to Longford for underage games than Mayo supporters attended that game. That was a Mayo team that reached the Div one final that year. I would like to see how much support Mayo would have at games if they had to play years down in Div 3 and one year in Div 4 like we had to do 2004 to 2014. A better gauge of core/hardcore support then I'd reckon. I like Mayo and have always supported Connacht teams when we are no longer in the championship but unfortunately the Mayo support on here,Mayogaablog,Gaaboard etc paint their support in a very bad light and clearly those same "supporters" were booing every free we took last Sunday and cheering all of our wides. Those type of supporters of course won't be going to Mayo games once results turn south... ispeakwisdom (Roscommon) - Posts: 2487 - 01/08/2017 16:12:31 2027462 Link

As pointed out by sportsjoe last night Mayo fans were booing aswell. Time to come down off your high horse Cuckoosinging (Roscommon) - Posts: 992 - 03/08/2017 07:26:59 2028225 Link

Replying To MedwayIrish: "No one likes us, we don't care? Careful Gleebo that's Millwall territory.
