Some people maybe are written them off but as a Mayo supporter there going to get nothing but the utmost respect off me..it's a fantastic achievement and to be where they are and no one o this can take that away from them Dangerman17 (Mayo) - Posts: 26 - 18/08/2016 21:11:34 1902993 Link 0 |
100% agree. Think they will give Mayo plenty and if they tighten at the back they will beat them. Tipp are better than Mayo going forward but I do wonder will they have the cuteness at the back Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 18/08/2016 21:12:24 1902994 Link 0 |

What bitter comments ? Give me examples. If its comments where people don't give Tipp a chance and you see them as being distasteful, bitter or disrespectful, then I'm sorry but I don't get what you want ? People to be dishonest in their views just to be nice to the underdog ? Personally I don't give Tipperary any chance at all. I respect they beat Cork on the way (A Cork team in disarray and almost lost an 11 point lead by the way only to dig it out late on) to where they are now, But aside from that, they beat no one of real significance. They have come up against 1 D1 team so far and where beaten comprehensively (no shame in that). U21 and minor success counts for nothing anyway, A lot of underage teams have won all Irelands and failing to bring their promise from underage to fruition on the senior stage. Tipp have a great team spirit and are under no pressure on Sunday, But they will, in my opinion, be beaten by a better team with better players all over the field. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 18/08/2016 21:28:56 1902998 Link 1 |
Who and where are they being disrespected? I will be clapping them in the field. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 18/08/2016 21:33:57 1903001 Link 2 |
I really hope they do well. A great story. Again I will be blasted for drawing this comparison but if they were to go and win The A.I. it would be a feat comparable to Leicester's. Probably would do lots to rejuvenate interest in GAA . But I would say that it suits them to be thought of as underdogs. You've got people in here pulling all sorts of stunts trying to make outt heir county is the underdog because they believe that will give their team an advantage. They're in a nice position going into this semi-final. Don't spoil it for them :-) avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 18/08/2016 21:50:10 1903007 Link 0 |
The majority of the disrespectful comments are coming from posters from counties other than from Mayo bar one or two headbangers! This ain't going to be an easy game for Mayo by any means! Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 18/08/2016 21:59:10 1903012 Link 0 |
Don't think anyone has disrespected us. I think people are realistic about our chances, as am I. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 18/08/2016 22:04:09 1903015 Link 0 |
I don't see any disrespect towards us but I see a lot of reality. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 18/08/2016 22:04:25 1903017 Link 0 |

Tipperary deserve as much respect as the other 3 counties involved in the semis, who have the other 3 teams beaten, Mayo lost to Galway a div 2 team then beat Fermanagh, Kildare, Westmeath and then Tyrone (they were wrecked tired after a tough Ulster campaign), Kerry beat Clare twice and Tipperary, Dublin waltzed through Leinster by far the weakest province and beat a tired Donegal team so on merit Tipperary are the only team who have played and won as well as lost under big pressure, yes they are seen as a weaker team compared to the other 3 but on any given Sunday that counts for nothing, if people think that their hurlers reaching the final doesn't inspire the footballers to perform and also reach the final they are kidding themselves. Mayo should win but a walkover, not a chance, they will be shown the same respect by the Mayo players and supporters as any other team. If Tipp win then I will wish them all the best in the final and would love to see a Tipperary hurling and football double riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 18/08/2016 23:53:27 1903052 Link 0 |

They're not better than Mayo going forward. Galway's defence was an absolute shambles in the 1/4 final.

No one is disrespecting Tipp but what Wayne said is right , Tipp haven't a hope in hell of beating Mayo and the Mayo supporters who say they do are lying. Mayo to win comfortably , Tipp are the story of the championship it's great to see them in the semi's but we all know this is were it ends. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 19/08/2016 08:27:48 1903073 Link 0 |
We've even been known to clap the Galway opposition onto the field. How often that is is proportional to the number of pre-match pints consumed.

There has been bitter comments lumped in Tipperary's direction. People give out about Kilkenny not making an effort in football. The Premier County make a big push in football. Certain quarters seem to resent their progress to the semi-final. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7824 - 19/08/2016 15:34:38 1903249 Link 0 |
I haven't seen anything of this. Throw up a few quotes there like a good man.
