After looking at them loosing 7 finals, I would love to see Mayo finally win an AI. I support the Tipp footballers (family in South Tipp) and have a soft spot for Westmeath.

Dublin for me. I've always liked the buzz they bring to Croke Park and have had some witty banter with their fans on match days. They always seem to unearth talented footballers and some characters too and although they brim with confidence are actually good winners when they do win which is something other champions could be doing with ;)

I would like to say Mayo win an All-Ireland. Dublin, Galway Wexford and Tipperary in hurling.

Counties I would like to see win an All Ireland other than my own at this stage:

Hurling: Limerick
Football: Kildare

I have a soft spot for the lillies. I would love to see Mayo win Sam or Monaghan lift Sam for the first time.

In recent years it has been Donegal, with Fermanagh, Roscommon, Tipperary and Carlow being teams I like to see doing well also.

Id like to see Tipp win the hurling and Mayo win the football.
In fact, id be happy to see anyone but Kilkenny win the hurling at this stage (and thats a compliment, cats fans).

Honestly love to see most fellow Ulster teams doing well, but obviously not at our expense. Recently, it was great to see Tyrone U-21s win (esp as they only beat us by the kick of a ball) and in the League, it was good to see Monaghan redeem themselves by playing well in the semi. Without even thinking about it, I would tend to get behind teams from my own province in the Championship, but usually only after the Ulster Championship is done or only when we aren't playing them. When we're up against each other, I am ruthless.

Have to admit, I have especially enjoyed our games against the Dubs over the past few years. Living in the city, I love the build up to a game, the craic at work & the banter at the games themselves. It is never an easy one to balance at home & have nearly come to blows with my (Dublin) son in 2011 & again last year but I have to admit that overall, there is a great atmosphere and it is hard not to get behind a team that has such great footballing talent. We'd usually go to all the Dublin games, unless they clash with Donegal games (priority, obviously) so I would have to admit to subconsciously lending support to the Dubs & would never hesitate to shout for them over the likes of Kerry. Would relish the prospect of a DL v Dub final
