But being away even though its only across the road, I joined up to keep up on the news, team selections and such Came on here... and I honestly couldn't believe the level of hate directed towards Dublin posters Genuine GAA people - it was an eye opener, as before I'd be going to games and you wouldn't hear a culchie say boo to a Dub Give them a keyboard though... brave lads then alright It was an eye opener, and many revelled in the fact that we were going through a bad time as a GAA county Honestly called every name under the sun we were... scum, junkies, and that's just a selection of terms It was almost entirely but not completely coming from Mayo posters So that's why you have to laugh at the likes of themaster whinging now Dublin have won 7 National titles in the last 6 years and all these keyboard warriors back have disappeared!! I'll be honest regardless of what happens this year - I'll soon be doing my own disappearing act." Got to say this mirrors my own experience. The level of hate and begrudgery directed towards us Dubs is pretty shocking. And as for he Master's whinging..I think it's pretty rich coming from him; wasn't he the man who made that dig about Dubs being heroin addicts. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 18/08/2016 12:18:09 1902700 Link

RedandGreen was another but not to be confused with the current greenandred from mayo who is a top fella and not atall like that Some of the best lads on here today are Mayo lads. Yew Tree. Greenandred and a few others. Sound as youd meet. But then, there is still yer man! But we have had our fair share of nutters ourselves! Remember Tomaoo! But I will say one thing for Ballyboy, he was a clown sure, and we had WAR, but, you always knew he was a WUM behind it all and it was funny at times and i actually had time for the fella!

Jimbob while I know things are good now on Dub match days they were not good in the early to mid 2000's. I worked around the bars there and the stuff that went on was crazy. I won't go into detail but there was always trouble in the bars and outside, always. Things have changed but back in those Pillar days the atmosphere was poisonous after games. I have never insulted a Dubs supporter on here, but maybe people have found it hard to move on from those days. I know for sure a couple of my own county men are obsessed with Dublin, but I think we are moving past the insults stage hopefully! TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 18/08/2016 13:59:18 1902766 Link
Remember Pomeroy Plunkett had to change his name because he wasn't really from Pomeroy. That was a highlight. Still some good posters but there has been an increase in bull over the past few years. hurlinspuds (Cork) - Posts: 1494 - 18/08/2016 14:37:51 1902786 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "we are really not Breff twas toxic here at one point long gone now tho thankfully" Have to say there were plenty nasty anti dubs posters on here at one time but I remember most dubs poster s giving as good as they got! And rightly so. I've never been afflicted with anything other than a healthy rivalry toward other teams myself so I've no idea where lads get this level of dislike of a particular county from. It's ok when it's a biting Craic but when I gets down and dirty it's harder to deal with I suppose. Not too bad these days in fairness. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 18/08/2016 15:10:03 1902821 Link

I have been on here a long time now and have seen posters come and go. Some of the names being mentioned were tossers of the highest order but were part of the clique around here. A clique that any self respecting poster would have nothing to do with. Also a lot of posters having multiple names to post under. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 18/08/2016 15:39:28 1902829 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "we are really not Breff twas toxic here at one point long gone now tho thankfully" I might add Liam that there was then and are now plenty anti Tyrone and anti Ulster posters on here too. Its just the nature of a forum like this I suppose. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 18/08/2016 15:58:56 1902844 Link

Replying To seanie_boy: "I might add Liam that there was then and are now plenty anti Tyrone and anti Ulster posters on here too. Its just the nature of a forum like this I suppose." I don't know Seanie. There's probably one particular Ulster (fear) poster on here who gives the province a bad name. But sure most of us would see past that. I don't think there's a particular vendetta against Ulster, granted there may be the odd post match dust-up and some snow flakes may take discussion/debate personally, and indeed get petsonal, but I don't believe in the North/South divide thing no matter how many times a certain Ulster poster might want to go all geographical on his threads. Leave geography, politicals and history to the students. None should be mixed with sport. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 18/08/2016 17:38:10 1902920 Link
