To be totally honest, I couldn't believe it when the ref didn't blow for the hit on Crowley, better side still won though :D

I never openly admitted it, but I didn't see us having any chance of winning the AI in 2012. I thought we'd shaken things up in 2011 & won Ulster after a long famine, but that teams would have seen our style and had our measure. How delightfully and fantastically wrong I was!

I came away from the Antrim game in Tullamore in July 2009 thinking Kerry's days were numbered and the Dubs would eat us without salt in the Q-final, I was never happier to be more wrong.

I walked out of Austin Stacks Park in early April 2014 after we got a spanking from a Brian Hurley inspired Cork in our last League game thinking we'd be lucky to make an All-Ireland Q-final and telling everyone around who would listen the same.

Oh ye of little faith.

Now saying all the above, I was sure that with his return from Oz Tommy Walsh would, after getting a year to bed in, come back to be a crucial player for us. Sadly that prediction died very quick.

After Louth lost six Leinster semi-final appearances in the nineties and thought I would never see them reach the promise land. I was glad I was proved wrong in 2010.

I think I was right there with you on Gilroy. I thought he was a terrible shout and after 2009 as well as that game v Meath in 2010 I thought he had to go.

I thought I was wrong once but it turned out I wasn't. Does that mean then that in a quirky way I was wrong but just not what I thought I was wrong about - was right about that and wrong about being wrong.

If I had a euro for every time I was right.............I'd almost be able to afford a pint in Temple Bar now.

I was sure two years in-a-row that the Kerry hurlers would not win Division 2A. They won it both years. They beat Antrim in the playoff that second year. Possibly the most deserving of hard earned promotions. It's only right that promotion relegation playoffs have been scrapped.

I said Kauto Star was overrated sometime around 2006. I think it was just sour grapes after he had beaten my choice (can't remember the name, funny that...).

Anyway, probably out of pure stubbornness, I never backed him until the Gold Cup in 2012. He pulled up and never raced again.

Guess that made me wrong twice?

My most recent was regarding Donegal. they went down tamely against Kerry and i thought the glory days were over for a team that gave us so much, two weeks later Neil Gallagher retired and that just cemented it for me. Early days but i think i'm already very wrong.......
I'm not one bit superstitious so on the run up to last years all Ireland i had no problem completely dismissing anyone who mentioned any silly notion of a curse on Mayo. So in the moment the second goal went in i sat with my mouth opened with disbelief, that's when i realised i was wrong

I was wrong once. I was about 5. Since then I have never been wrong. :)
