This is the reason Dublin is so disliked.

You do wonders for Ulster yourself.

Don't confuse journalism with history. When the dust settles on this era and all sentiment is set aside this Dubs team will be feted while Mayo's role will merit no more than a footnote. The Mayo lads know that. The belief is there stronger than ever and so long as they feel there's still improvement possible the quest will not be given up.

I have got to say I find these threads curious. Why are they started? Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 19/09/2017 16:03:21 2048151 Link 1 |
Lads for fecks sake, how many times have I told ye that what is written by a couple of 'journalists' in a newspaper or in Ireland's case, rag mags, means feck all. We all have our own opinions (or do we). Who gives a flying f**k about the media. The Mayo heartbreak story is good for column inches, of course it is, as I feel very sorry for them myself. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 19/09/2017 16:25:43 2048162 Link 1 |
So basically your a bit peeved because you feel Dublin aren't getting enough attention is really what your saying.

to be fair its not as bad as last year when they really went down the celebrity loser route . However this year its mostly the media driven narrative based on the assumption that most people outside of Dublin wanted Mayo to win and are more likely to be drawn to sympathetic stories of their woes . I'm sure the dublin players dont care that much . Finsceal (None) - Posts: 559 - 19/09/2017 16:52:39 2048173 Link 0 |
Agree with ye on that. I like to save newspaper reports after winning All Ireland finals as keepsakes. Plenty of papers covered Dublin's win with several pages dedicated to it. The Mayo story is of interest too. Finals are emotional and ye have to share both sides of the emotion. Plus to add that it was a great final and both teams deserve credit for providing such entertainment.

Dublin played poorly, sorry very poorly? A game of two halves and all that. 1-17 in an AI final. 11 points (?) from play in the second half and came through an epic battle with Mayo to finish the stronger. Mayo got their tactics right, all their players had a good game, they thew everything at Dublin but Dubs still managed to win. How can you beat a team like this Mayo team by playing poorly?

The media love a bad news story and I suppose to most outside Mayo it looks like a bad news story. They should be celebrating a great Dublin team winning three in a row but they won't. Simple reason is that ye're the Jackeens and us and everyone else outside the pale are the Culchies. So they'll sell more papers not bigging ye up and playing up our poor luck and a loss by the smallest margin. Ignoring the fact that it takes more than luck to come out the right side of such a tight game. But fear not and let no-one feel sorry for us. We will be back. Maigh Eo Abú!

2013, 1 point difference, 2016 draw, 2016 1 point difference, 2017 1 point. In all those cases the media claimed that ' Dublin played poorly'. How was it that it was against Mayo they seemed to always 'play poorly'.

Poor comment ,should take a leaf out of the Dublin team and Jim Gavin and be a bit more humble in victory. Mayo supporters or players dont want sympathy, it must be soul destroying to hear how people feel sorry each time they narrowly come up short to this great Dublin team, all they want is to get over the line just once . Sympathy is media driven because people like what this mayo team has given to the game over the years and would like to see them get some reward . From what ive heard and read since Sunday there is plenty of praise for this great Dublin team and rightly so you're the greatest team I've ever seen and will win more all Ireland's in the year's to come.
