Replying To GreenandRed: "They're not supporters though. Just sad fu#%$ who get more of a kick out of other people's misfortune than supporting their own team." I would agree 100%. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 08/08/2019 16:12:37 2222731 Link
Replying To avonali: "Most Dubs I know hate that poster. Go on to ResDubs and you'll see they fans holding that banner are roundly ridiculed. You know full well that all counties have idiots supporting them." I know full well and I'm looking forward to having the Craic with the dubs this weekend. These two counties can great an atmosphere nobody else can create...it will be electric. Hope it's a tight going into the home stretch yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11232 - 08/08/2019 18:57:26 2222779 Link
Replying To Llaw_Gyffes: "I have no problem playing in Croke Park at this stage, in fact it's a privilege to be there. I just found it kind of quaint that having played two games in, if you want to split hairs, your second home you're bitchin about having to play the third one away whereas every other team have to travel twice and are expected to suck it up. Perhaps you should get on to big John and see if he could wrangle having your third game in Dublin at one or other of your grounds. I'm sure he could come up with a plausible reason to cover it. Health and safety maybe, all the Dubs having to venture out into the wilds without protection from savages with sling shots, poisoned arrows etc. Maybe he could site global warning as it seems to work for everything else. If that doesn't fly, and if it's any consolation, you get kinda used to the six hour round trips. I find at this stage I can get out of bed by about the following Tuesday so it's not all bad." Sure 8,000 of us ventured up to Omagh on Sunday. Do you seriously think that away games inconveniences the Dubs? Ha, you're having a laugh. We love them. You should know this from your home fixtures against us in Castlebar. Great craic. Jim Gavin's Mighty Dubs will play anywhere that the other counties tell us to play.

Equates to about point six of one percent of your population. To put it into perspective that's the same as 180 Leitrim pilgrims going to support their team in a super eights game. Still you were one of the hardy souls who fearlessly crossed the border to support your team so take a bow son. Llaw_Gyffes (Mayo) - Posts: 1113 - 08/08/2019 21:06:24 2222822 Link

So game sold out, 8,000 Dubs managed to get tickets. Not bad for a dead rubber. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 08/08/2019 21:59:10 2222842 Link
Replying To thelongridge: "There is life beyond the M50." Well I know it. I have plenty of relatives beyond the M50, I live outside of it myself these days and spent many Summers in Ireland beyond it. But, there's no place like home and inside it where I grew up.

Replying To jimbodub: "Tell that to the thousands of country folk moving here every year" Lack of investment (not from the GAA) in rural counties will cause that. Plenty of Dubs moving into the Midlands. Your rents are mental Hawkeye9212 (Donegal) - Posts: 266 - 08/08/2019 22:32:56 2222868 Link
It is very suspicious the lack of media tack about the Dubs drive for 5. You have to hand it to Gavin. First to bring back Connolly to deflect attention and now has the media on his side. If he wanted something highlighted it would be all over the papers. Dublin media eh Tizcold (Galway) - Posts: 239 - 08/08/2019 22:41:09 2222870 Link

Replying To thelongridge: "There is life beyond the M50." They said the same thing about Mars. I had my suspicions then too. ;) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 09/08/2019 00:33:02 2222896 Link
Absolutely no talk in the media about the drive for 5.....Gavin has the Dublin media wrapped around his finger!! If it was something he wanted highlighted there would be past players coming out of the woodwork all sides. Tizcold (Galway) - Posts: 239 - 09/08/2019 09:04:25 2222917 Link
