Replying To hill16no1man: "Sure the gaa are already doing everything to accomadate the mayo supporters. anybody not in croke park would have missed the constant focus on the big screen of the mayo team bus making its way to croke park, while the teams were warming up on the pitch they had the interview with the local mayo celebrity from American fusseball to perform a cheerleading chant for mayo, then at half time daithi goes to a group of mayo supporters to ask their thoughts and give a cheer for mayo" Oh ya those cringey interviews with Daithi do wonders for the team. It's a psychological masterstroke that obviously upset the focus of the Dublin players. That post of yours goes into the never ending line of tripe from both sets of supporters in the last couple of weeks. I do have to laugh at how some people think that any of that stuff makes a difference. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7902 - 27/09/2016 11:12:16 1919566 Link

If the GAA was really fair there wouldn't be club players from a club in Roscommon playing for Mayo. Could you imagine if Dublin picked players from club sides as far out as Maynooth. Neil Flynn and Con O' Callaghan in the same team - yes please. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 27/09/2016 12:10:23 1919598 Link

But NOT a celebrity from the locality, which I think is the way you interpreted it. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 27/09/2016 19:50:59 1919865 Link

I'm not exactly sure how Mayo got drawn into this discussion. We didn't start the thread, contributed very little to it, haven't whinged about anything and still come out as the villains.

Fr.Ted usernames etc. If i hear another 'is there anything to be said for another mass?', 'Careful now!', 'Down with that sort of thing!' i'll lose it! There have been other comedies on tv, and far better ones. Every attempt at humour has to be accompanied with a Fr. Ted quote or pic. Will someone give me an 'Allo Allo' one for a bit of novelty?!

'That would be an ecumenical matter', Cyril Farrell looking like Fargo Boyle, Bishop Brennan getting kicked up the are, the over 75s football competition, Graham Norton as Fr. Noel Furlong doing Riverdance in the caravan, lovely bottoms etc, etc, funny at the time but worn out now. I've seen the repeats of the Fr. Ted Christmas episode with Fr. Todd Unctious as many times as i've seen fecin Willy Wonka and the Oompa Lumpas at this stage. Ahh.. Rant over :) Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 27/09/2016 21:50:17 1919914 Link

Where did I say mayo started the thread? All I said was I didn't start the thread and pointed out for those that weren't in croke park that it more a feel of a mayo home game than a Dublin one by showing what happened on the day. Fail to see where I slated mayo for anything hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 27/09/2016 22:08:26 1919930 Link
