Replying To anotheralias:  "Simple solution for you.. Dont watch it. As I've said before Statler and Waldorf from the muppet show springs to mind. If you dont like a show , criticise it once and then stop going, and let those of us that love the sport enjoy it."
I know lots of people who have stopped watching it. I'm critical of the game as it is at present, not critical of the game of gaelic football as it used to be played in the past. If the GAA ignores the state of the game at present and accepts your attitude, your muppets can wallow in their bore-fest!

Replying To ComainRos:  "In fairness Yew Tree I think the extreme stuff between Mayo and Ros is really based on a small section of fans from both teams. Probably from clubs bordering each other. Don't get me wrong we love to beat Mayo but in fairness I for one and plenty other Ros fans I know would always shout for Mayo when they are in the semi's, final etc. That goes for Galway too, I would like to think most Connacht teams will always shout for each other. I'm delighted that Connacht teams are doing so well at present and great to see Sligo improving all the time also. Hopefully in two to 3 years we'll have 4 Connacht teams in Div 1"
Fair enough but I've witnessed that "banter" first hand. Like driving home after the 2017 final and the folks in Cloonfad waving Dublin flags and jeering at us as we drove through. I'm not easily offended but that's just pathetic. I don't disagree we have a portion of idiots too. The booing of freetakers from a section of our own fans for example drives me nuts.

Wouldn't mind another meeting with them in Croke Park."
Do you actually believe this fella, Roscommon have never chanted about Mayo even when playing Mayo ffs, We dont have any chants at all. There was about 15 Ros fans on the Hill.

Thanks for the support last Sunday Yew tree. I suppose in the gaa world, Roscommon and Mayo are not always the best of neighbours. Ballaghaderreen playing in Mayo is an issue for a lot of Roscommon supporters and doesn't help gaa relations between the counties.

Thats the point .. It bores you .. But it doesn't bore me. You are entitled to your opinion. But dont try to enforce your opinion on me. I am as excited as a schoolboy looking forward to the football this weekend, and I wont be one bit bored. The game today is what it is. Please dont be nostalgic for the hit and hoof swashbuckling game of yesteryear... the are gone.
Nostalgia just isnt what it used to be.

Exactly. As i stated i had first hand knowldge of this as i was perched half way up on the Hill and any Ros fans were very quiet and in very small nimbers. Someone is trying to stir the pot here. Pathetic to say they were chanting about Mayo. Simply not true.

It was Dublin fan Fionn that posted about the Rossies singers.

Same here. Too much negative press going on, as a neutral watching I want to see close competitive contests in the balance until the final whistle that's what we got in Croke Park on Sunday, got the very opposite in the Leinster final.

I know that Sorry I should have been clearer, My reply was a question to Yew Tree does he actually believe the Dublin poster? i know we dont exactly love each other Ros and Mayo but no way i believe fans were chanting about Mayo in the middle of a game against Dublin, When we were playing well. It just didnt happen

Enforce my opinion on you! On the contrary, you were the one who gave the order to me not to look at it!
I'm not nostalgic at all just frustrated with the way the game has evolved in the past 12-15 years.
I hope Galway and Westmeath will tear into it and play a fast brand of intelligent and attacking football.

I remember with great fondness the great kick and catch games pre 1970.
Dublin Kevin Heffernan started the rot in 1974.
