Any foul that went against mayo - good man deano/mick/etc etc, show them useless fn scumbag kn***ers'. Any mayo wide, big cheer followed by similar tirade, etc etc. From start to finish, game long since decided. Not just one or two, maybe 20 different sources. Mothers and kids sitting there listening to it. There was an old lad over from me who was visibly insulted and afraid. That isn't a bit of craic, it is disgusting and makes me feel ashamed. Im not trying to start a big long argument here. Im just calling it how it was. How anyone could be trying to class that stuff as a bit of craic I will never know.

The worst incident I saw was on the hill at Tipp - Galway hurling semi final a couple of years ago where Tipp fans threw bottles at Galway fans at final whistle. The guards intervened. That is certainly an exceptional instance from the games I have attended. And I defitinely wouldnt say Galway and Tipp fans dont get along because of that one experience.

In fairness to him he thought he was being playful but could easily have started a row if someone felt inclined. The other side of me i had a Dublin girl who was the lowest of the low. ****ing pits of society stuff. Wouldn't shut up about O'Gara. 'Poison, ****ing scumbag, wanker, etc'.....this was when he wasn't in possession now. Imagine her reaction when he kicked into touch when clean through on goal. She kept coughing on me too. ****ing tramp. Been waiting to get that rant out of my system.:pac:

Against that - Dublin had 4 goal chances when he was playing, and he was involved in all of those. Yes two he hit wide himself but he was in the right place and in a position to take the chances. They had no goal chances when he went off, apart from the penalty, and despite Dublin being out of sight on the scoreboard. Dublin haven't been prolific goal scorers. Felt sorry for him when he hit the ball out over the sideline, his head went down a bit after that and he started playing deeper; crowd reaction didn't help. But he definitely brings an option that I don't see anyone else on the team bringing, unless you move Fenton to full forward, which wont happen.

However I feel that if he could have converted that first goal chance he possibly could have got a hat trick. I hope his confidence doesn't drop and that he can pick himself up for the next one. On another note, why did Paddy take the penalty, when he only walked onto the pitch previously. I know Connolly normally takes them but surely Rock or someone elae could have stepped up on the night.
Bonniedog wrote: » You have obviously forgotten Rock's last penalty! As those of us who survived the nineties know, missing penalties is potentially a disaster. Not only in terms of the points but in providing a boost to the opposition. In fairness Connolly is good at them. Although did he miss one for Vinnies last year against Corofin?

Donal55 wrote: » I remember Rock's alright, however I think he's probably better than Paddy & deserved a second go. As you say, the impetus swung to Mayo when the peno and rebounds were missed. In a tight game its possibly the edge that can turn it. Its just an aspect of the game that I'm sure Gavin will put on his 'to do' list.

You were at the match - why didn't you inform the stewards about it and make a proper complaint. I really don't see what your point is in coming on to Dublin Gaa forum an boards to raise it as an issue. What do you hope to achieve - raise awareness amongst the 10-12 people who will read your post?

This is a medium to discuss it with people of both sides, therefore it is a good a place as any. As for mayo people sending tirades at O'Gara or Rock or whoever, that isn't acceptable, but look a fair few dubs were giving out about C O'C's elbow too, I understand that kind of thing to a degree. That is more people getting worked up over the game. Are people suggesting that that is the same as mayo kicking a run of the mill point when the game was over and the inhabitants of the county being labelled inbred, stupid and those are the ones I can print. That simply isn't the same thing. Im no shrinking violet, but this stuff was simply disgraceful and is far beyond any friendly rivalry. As for the person who stated I must be attracting this stuff, I never interacted in any way and personally I find it depressing that people automatically try to blame everyone and anyone else to justify something like that.

I suppose it is in line with this 'thick ignorant culchie' idea that many dubs seem to give weight to. Have you ever stopped to consider how insulting that sort of attitude is to those people? Why do you think less of people simply because they are from outside Dublin? As for the person who stated I must be attracting this stuff, I never interacted in any way and personally I find it depressing that people automatically try to blame everyone and anyone else to justify something like that.

But if our position in the top 2 is secure, I wouldn't lose any sleep at all, if Jim Gavin sends out experimental teams to take on Monaghan or the Rossies and, we get bate by either one. The unbeaten streak is taking on a life of its own now, especially in the media. I could do without the pressure of it hanging around our necks over the summer.
Bonniedog wrote: » Monaghan are an odd bird. I reckon they thought they put too much into league two years ago and that it cost them in Ulster. Last year they just did enough to stay up but didn't improve them any in championship. This year they seem to be taking league seriously again and are hard beat on their day. Their main problem is major lack of depth I reckon, alongside dependence on McManus.

But make no mistake, said poster doesn't actually go to the games. He's just been on the wrong end of a few hidings in the past and is driven by bitterness.
Tombo2001 wrote: » You are just making stuff up now.......half the population of Dublin grew up outside of Dublin. There is not 1 GAA club in the entire city, where you wont find a heap of country people playing, mentoring, coaching. This is just nonsense.
MayoAreMagic wrote: » Im not making anything up and it is telling that you chose to dismiss what I am saying - which is 100% fact, in such a way. The term culchie gets used in a very derogatory tone by many dubs when describing people who are not from Dublin. As if people from the country are idiots, or stupid, or less honest etc. Has anyone ever heard a Dublin person using it in a positive tone? I haven't. As for the above, what do you think this proves exactly? That they allow them to play gaa. Is that something that they deserve credit for? Id have thought it was a given. As for the population of Dublin who aren't from there - Im pretty sure they aren't supporting the Dublin football team either man, therefore are irrelevant to the topic.

Are you really suggesting that the towel had been thrown in more or less by half-time by the Mayo footballers? Otherwise your post doesn't make sense as there were no "run of the mill points when the game was over".
