1. The curse. It's a very odd curse that seemingly doesn't apply to our minor, U-21 or ladies footballers, or indeed to Mayo club sides playing in All-Ireland finals.

2. Bottlers. Granted we didn't show up in a couple of finals against Kerry, but generally, we've lost finals because we haven't been good enough to win them. Likewise, it seems that for some GAA fans, every Mayo loss is a bottling act, regardless of the circumstances or respective strengths of the sides involved.

3. After any All-Ireland final: " We'd have won only the manager had an argument with player 'X' and decided not to play him."

(i) Hill 16 is full of uneducated yobs who are constantly calling 'offside Ref
(2) Most delayed throw ins are because Dubs fans refused to leave the pub in time - even when the Dubs are not playing.
(3) Referees and officials are soft on the Dubs because teh GAA needs the cash.'

Sure the last one is well know Avonli

In 2011 didn't the GAA reckon if Dublin hadn't won an All Ireland by 2015 the Venky's would move Blackburn over here?

Well thank God the good people involved in Kerry GAA were never going to let that happen and let us score 1-3 in the last 10 minutes to keep us all safe from the soccer......

1) Dublin are manufactured footballers, sorry athletes..
2) Dublin senior footballers don't have real jobs, and get their dinners delivered to them every day.
3) Dublin don't have any 'wristy' hurlers...

1) All boys in Dublin are christened with an "O" at the end of their name. (Philo,Anto,Deco,Berno,Dermo,Jayo,Tommo )

2) Dubs panic and think they need to check if their passport is still valid, if possibilty of away championship game is mentioned.

3) If your a Culchie standing on the Hill and you look down and see steam coming from the leg of your trousers , the big smirking Dub behind you is innocent of everything.
