Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1731 - 19/12/2020 22:19:32 2324212 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest." I know where you are coming from but looking at the reaction from the Mayo palyers and backroom staff after the game and reading comments from Mayo supporters, the bigger eye opener for me is that Mayo are not devastated at losing. What I mean is that we are getting to the stage where it doesnt matter anymore for a lot of us. Now I know this all Ireland was different and the lack of build up and lack of supporters at games took away from the competition, but losing should hurt and to be honest it doesnt hurt anymore. Thats the real issue here and its nots Dublins fault but watching them play anyone now is just getting boring. ROYALOPTIMIST (Meath) - Posts: 179 - 19/12/2020 22:39:57 2324226 Link

Replying To Galway9801: "Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest." Enjoing it? Absolutely lovin it, every win is different, not the same as 74, 83, 95, or 2011, but to do 6 in a row, enjoying it, big time x 6. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 685 - 20/12/2020 00:02:26 2324283 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest." Just to add, I'm old enough to have listened to talk about dublins population etc and we couldnt bear meath or the odd time we did we got hammered by kerry or whoever, did I enjoy today, what do you think? sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 685 - 20/12/2020 00:09:48 2324286 Link
Of course, it is a very satisfying feeling. Look, I know what your'e asking, even if Mayo won 6 in a row, the celebrating after their 6th compared to after their first would differ hugely in comparison. There is euphoria and there is satisfaction. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 20/12/2020 02:02:39 2324331 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest." Enjoying it!!!

Replying To Galway9801: "Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest." No, I prefer hurling, unfortunately thats not something to talk about, its kinda inconvenient to the relentless narrative. Glad we won, as it is fun reading dmsome comments here arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4898 - 20/12/2020 10:11:13 2324399 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Your team has just won the all Ireland. Are you enjoying it? Be honest." If you have to ask that question you really don't know anything about the real Dublin football supporters who have been watching and following while we couldn't get next or near a final never mind win one. Enjoying every minute of it, honestly. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 20/12/2020 10:27:24 2324408 Link
Replying To arock: "No, I prefer hurling, unfortunately thats not something to talk about, its kinda inconvenient to the relentless narrative. Glad we won, as it is fun reading dmsome comments here" It isn't really though, that's just a read herring, the focus in Dublin has and will always be football, if the Dublin Hurlers happen to improve as a by product of all the money then so be it. Also it is worth noting that Dublin hurling did improve considerably over the last decade, in 2013 they won their first Leinster since 1961!

There's a difference in reaction to losing by a point after trailing for the last 20 odd minutes and losing by a point. I wouldn't say supporters reaction on forums and social media are a good barometer for devastation or lack of it. It's definitely devastating and frustrating.
