It's compulsive stuff Breff, and Tom still hasn't revealed whether Mrs Tom has a Brown Thomas store card. I heard she punted it out to Mrs Assad as their husbands are great mates but it's hard to know what to believe these days!

I think this thread is very unfair .

Dublin is our only major city . It is a large urban area with social problems . Most large urban towns have problems which is sad. As Dublin is bigger , it will naturally bring with it more clowns at matches . There will however be more nice people too, there will be more good looking people etc - thats due to the size.

I have said it before and I will state it again . The Dublin fans after the 92 final were a credit to themselves. They were the most gracious ive ever come across and anyone who used to visit Parnell Park will know what I am saying . This isolating people because of where their from is wrong.

I have had plenty of rows with Dublin folk on here and I will again but by and large they are sound out - sound like anywhere.

You cant control 40,000 fans at a match .

I was on my own on the hill in 2007. After the game countless Dublin fans came up to me congratulating Kerry on the win. While I was walking out I was hit with a coin. By the time I raised my head the Dublin friends I recently met had turned around ready to lynch the lad who threw the coin. They were disgusted that a scumbag had done that.

From my many experiences with the real Dublin fans (the majority) they are humble in victory like real gaa fans, there are a few who give a bad reputation but what county don't have them.

Never foresaw this outburst from Tom Smith. Perhaps he's some kind of one man sleeper cell and something has been triggered.

The Dubs were very sporting when we beat them in '09. They were sporting before, during and after the '11 final.

Tipperary v Mayo is this weekend.

It always amazes me how Irish people think they know what someone is like just because of where they come from, be it from different towns/counties here or from different countries,
There is good and bad everywhere,my own county/town included, I have always found the Dubs to be great supporters and good craic in general, you'll get a few ejits everywhere.

Dublin fans are the best-humoured fans in the country. Also the noisiest! Most fans from any country are sound, but my perception is that we culchie fans will have a higher % of begrudgers in our ranks (none such on HS, of course, ever). The typical Dub isn't bitter - they'll do their noisy best to wind you up during a game, but will shake your hand and wish you well after the game's over. How I've avoided getting a puck in the head for all the stuff I've said to them during games ("offside, ref") I'll never know

The Dubs are the most gracious losers in the country. But when they win they're a royal pain in the ass.

I hope all Tipp and Mayo supporters make it safely out of the Northside after today's game.
