Replying To yew_tree: "You live in the USA...surly you can avoid Mayo GAA...it's 4th July weekend...get out more" Its impossible to avoid Mayo GAA. You could be on Mars and you'd still hear about how Mayo haven't won an All-Ireland since 1951. TakeyourPoint. (Tyrone) - Posts: 133 - 04/07/2019 13:24:43 2205427 Link
Replying To CornAghais91: "It is. As is, Rugby, Hockey, Cricket etc. Does make the lads bowling maidens and hitting fours, Republicans? Anyone for drinks in the pav after the innings? ;)" You got all that from a poster rightly saying the GAA is a 32 county organisation? Remarkable stuff.

Replying To IamDonegal: "Yeah good man. Thankfully the booing and abuse Paul durcan got in castlebar was called out on midwest radio by Mayo fans. Absolute disgrace in 2013 too. Mayo couldn't handle 2012. Lovely people away from a GAA pitch but serious chip on their shoulder." What are you talking about, chip on the shoulder? It's you who seems to have a serious chip on the shoulder when it comes to Mayo fans. I am under no illusions. There are plenty of people who go to Mayo games who are absolute idiots, let the county down and if we ever got to the holy grail and won the All Ireland would be rubbing it into the face of opposition fans in much the same way as a few Donegal fans did to myself in 2012. Unfortunately that's what can come with a big fanbase. Now perhaps you might climb down off that particularly high horse of yours and concede that there are and have been plenty within the Donegal who are will fit to act in a similar fashion. I do get a kick out of people slating supporters of other counties, oblivious to the same carry on of their own support the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 497 - 04/07/2019 14:19:35 2205459 Link
Replying To TakeyourPoint.: "Its impossible to avoid Mayo GAA. You could be on Mars and you'd still hear about how Mayo haven't won an All-Ireland since 1951." Not our fault there is a fascination with Mayo GAA..our games usually are cliff bangers too which probably helps the hype machine. Do you want us to give up football altogether? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11557 - 04/07/2019 14:41:09 2205465 Link

Was it Jimmy's winning matches coming on and people dancing and singing it? The jeering in 2013 was scandalous. I've been to almost every ground in Ireland. Castlbar was most hostile imo, just ahead of a packed Omagh. IamDonegal (Donegal) - Posts: 134 - 04/07/2019 14:42:22 2205467 Link

No it wasn't people dancing and singing to a song and if you want to dismiss and trivialise the experiences of others with Donegal fans while still trying to claim that your anecdoatal experiences with Mayo fans should be taken seriously, well that says more about you than me my good man. the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 497 - 04/07/2019 15:36:46 2205489 Link
Casltelbar is a hostile atmosphere. Do you go somewhere other than McHale Park because that is a cracker of a comment. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8370 - 04/07/2019 16:25:13 2205504 Link
Are Mayo and Donegal playing this weekend? Let's try to keep this one on topic. If Mayo win on Saturday, then they will be in the same group as Donegal, so you're welcome to let loose then. There's hardly a fit midfielder between both panels, so it's very difficult to predict how this one will go. Either way we need to play with much more aggression and bite than we did against Roscommon. Without hard work as a starting point, the style of play won't even matter. I am hopeful that we'll move the ball much more quickly in attack however. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2315 - 04/07/2019 16:25:55 2205505 Link
Replying To Gator: "For the sake of football I hope Mayo come through this. However its gonna be tough. Loss of Keegan is huge impact." They have been poor so far this year but thats a bit harsh Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 04/07/2019 16:31:41 2205509 Link

Galway have the players but you would wonder what KW is at. Galway have savage forwards but they wont do much if they are wing back. Was Comer much when he played for his club ? Did he play much? DOC and Keegan are huge losses. I'd imagine Mayo will eventually come unstuck without these but galway are short too. If galway are let play I'd fancy the tribes IamDonegal (Donegal) - Posts: 134 - 04/07/2019 17:31:44 2205545 Link
I'm from neither county but have heard about Croke Park in 2013 countless times. From basically every Donegal GAA fan I know and a couple of neutrals. They'd be level headed sorts. Mayo GAA fans are a bit ott but never seemed to bad. They mustve got out of hand altogether that day PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 277 - 04/07/2019 17:59:51 2205554 Link
Really hard game to call. You would have to expect Galway will be better than the Roscommon game. They had a very poor second half. However they have some serious players especially Shane Walsh. Mayo have a lot of injuries but they always seem to dig deep and dig out a result. I am going for a Galway victory after extra time.

I agree every county has annoying fans. I just heard alot of really bad ones around this period.

J'm hoping for a Galway win, if for no other reason that to stop hearing constantly on every media source about Mayo this-Mayo that, no other county gets injuries like? they haven't won the All Ireland in almost 70 years for God's sake, Mayo the gift that keeps giving as Brolly the wise one I think said, we all know about the Mayo fans too, so you Mayo posters needn't be coming on here trying to whitewash over it by saying every county has some idiot fans, that is true to an extent, but the Mayo fans are in another league of arrogance, still I suppose it must be hateful to have list so many finals though...
