Don't know if theirs been a thread on here before for this, just wondering for ye over all the losses yer counties or clubs have faced over the years which one hurt the most? Plenty for us Mayo fans to remember sadly will be hard to pick a winner.. danthefan (Mayo) - Posts: 21 - 15/02/2017 23:40:49 1957306 Link 0 |
All-Ireland Semi final defeat to Cork in 2013. There was a decent chance of an All-Ireland that year, not saying we would necessarily of beaten Clare in the final but I do remember a feeling of a real missed opportunity leaving Croker that day. It didn't help that I then had to go and meet the Cork in laws afterwards and listen to them! Is there anything worse than Cork people after a big win against your team?! Maybe don't answer that as the answer is probably Dubs after a win ;). I think that defeat has gotten worse over the years as we see the massive slide that we've gone on since.

1994 All Ireland hurling final.. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1054 - 16/02/2017 08:33:50 1957339 Link 0 |
Oddly enough it's not a final for me although last year hurt alot. Walking up the Ennis road out of the Gaelic Grounds after that reply in 2014 was the worst. Was like a funeral with thousands of Mayo fans walking up the road in silence. No doubt plenty of more to come. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 16/02/2017 09:02:39 1957341 Link 0 |

Yeah it's been done to death and I've always given the same answer; clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 16/02/2017 09:41:54 1957350 Link 1 |
For me it's the same, Gaelic Grounds was horrible. Performance by Reilly that day was unbelievable.

2014 final against Kerry was very disappointing, but in fairness, it wasn't the end of the world either. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 16/02/2017 10:00:53 1957355 Link 1 |

2010 Ulster final, Monaghan had been doing well in the Championship thus far, then forgot to turn up against Tyrone of all teams and were embarrassed, I really felt going into that match that it was ours to win so it hurt for the next couple of years.

Monaghan losing to Kerry by a point in '07. Usually it's not stop "analysis" on the way home after a match but no one spoke a word the whole way home after that one turkeyplucker (UK) - Posts: 137 - 16/02/2017 11:36:42 1957385 Link 0 |
2008 All Ireland Final v Tyrone, I think that was still the toughest one to take overall. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 16/02/2017 11:41:37 1957388 Link 2 |
Galway 01. We felt so bad as we expected to just turn up and win. Its gotten worse as it marked the end of Meath as a force. Not that we knew it at the time but would of at least been nice to sign off on the best possible note. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 16/02/2017 12:22:36 1957401 Link 0 |
Couldn't look a Monaghan supporter in the eye all night after that game. We robbed you blind that day, God bless Tomas O'Se.

For a total rock bottom feeling it was Limerick 08. Had thrown away a big lead to Wexford before that but still would expect Meath football to dispense of Limerick a hurling county. Absolutely hammered in a Round 1 qualifier. The absolute pits. janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 16/02/2017 12:46:33 1957407 Link 0 |

Back to back defeats in Croke Park 1995 & 1996 to Dublin & Meath were hard to take but even though it was only the league final losing to Derry in 1992 was the worst. Tyrone in complete control approaching the final 10 minutes when a complete meltdown let Derry in to steal the glory. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 16/02/2017 12:52:10 1957410 Link 0 |
