Look you are going to get isolated incidences but just one to balance things up. I attended the Dublin v Donegal game with my 6 year old son. I sat beside some lovely people from Donegal, Mayo, Tyrone and Kerry. However I witnessed a Donegal supporter in his mid late 50s in the " prawn sandwiches section" hitting a dublin man over the M Murphy " late tackle" on B Fenton. Absolutely nothing in it but people giving their opinions until this so called supporter lashed out aggressively and stated this is the way football should be played. A number of shocked people from all counties witnessed this but the stewards didn't see it or maybe just chose to ignore it. Trying to explain this to my little fella was really difficult, absolutely no place in our game and to be honest it made the rest of the match difficult to enjoy as it is hard to know what a person like this is capable of. Little bit of balance on things and terrible to see one individual like this in 82,000 people carrying on in such a manner.

And worse that that, the Flithy Dubs that we are, we would probably queue up to shake the hand of the man who did it, whilst getting our picture taken with him. We'd put it on the mantelpiece, next to an old and tattered black & white photo of our Grandparents holding Sam..... I have to say, OP is a great fisher of men. I took the bait whole. Well Played Sir. :) Jaden (Dublin) - Posts: 139 - 17/08/2016 12:15:54 1902230 Link 1 |

I like your post except for one bit. We're not true Gaels. We are Viking invaders. Brian Boru was a b****x who didn't get the job done. King Citric Silkenbeard had the last laugh! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 17/08/2016 12:30:59 1902240 Link 1 |

The people are like anywhere in the country, generally friendly if you are too. People who work in the pubs /shops are usually full of banter when they see me with the jersey on. Only point I will agree with him is on some on the fans. Many of whom I wouldn't call real fans but do think Dublin has more of the bandwagon abuse giving fans than most counties(at last at croke park) Croke Park also happens to be around one of the roughest parts of town so it's no coincidence some fans are giving more abuse than other counties fans during games. No offence to north siders but the place statistically has a few more troublesome young lads and lassies than most areas of the country.Throw in a nice summer day and a lot of alcohol and these 'fans' are out around the streets in big numbers.Troublesome culchies won't bother to travel in half as big numbers because of the expensive and effort but they too are around .I think Dublin fans get bad PR because of how easy it is for the average scumbag in the north Dub area to hijack a good GAA match and turn it into something more sinister , given the fact the population of the city outnumbers all others and it is home turf.Even if only 5% of Dublin's fans around the croke park area act in this way it will still put a bad mark on the general good welcoming behaviour the other 95% of Dubs have. If you go to a league game down in Kerry early in the year you probably won't find that type of 'fan' down there. GameOfTyrones (Tyrone) - Posts: 469 - 17/08/2016 12:33:57 1902243 Link 1 |
Am I? I would have just seen it as a counter argument to the point that there's always some in all support that let themselves down Honestly Sorry to hear what happened to your sister but we all have our stories jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 17/08/2016 12:38:36 1902246 Link 0 |
Oh I've seen and heard a few choice bandwagon Tyrone fans in my time too, and sure we've seen former players being spat on as they sat in the crowd. No doubting Dublin has some bad fans, no doubt but going to the effort of highlighting such things is just stating the obvious, a more than a tad bit passive aggressive You never see Dublin fans bringing up points about "bad apples" amongst rival counties support - if you do it's usually in response to the tired aul posts we see drummed out. All sets of fans have bad supporters Yet we have to listen to this garbage every year jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 17/08/2016 12:42:46 1902253 Link 1 |
Tis true. Tis true. Tis true. The Jacks are all that and more. That said, the Ulster boys have been caught redhanded, the Munster lads gladhanding and the Connaught fellahs panhandling.... or something. plike (Kerry) - Posts: 569 - 17/08/2016 13:25:14 1902273 Link 0 |
I don't know who Tom is or where he's from. but i'm starting to think hes some sort of comical genius. Just look at the terms he has used in order to reel as many of you in as possible. ''away up to dublin'' (a play on the backward cavan man) touched on the ''loud'' dubs and how you leave early (knowing full well this has been thrown around against dubs for years.......and then finishes off with mention of a lockhard. theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 17/08/2016 13:31:16 1902277 Link 0 |

Of all the opponents we have met over the past 5 or 6 years, I would class the dubs as being up there with the best if not the best. Gracious in victory and well wishing in 2014 also. I love going to croke park when we play them. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 17/08/2016 14:02:09 1902293 Link 4 |
