Which county''s posters react most sensitively to any criticism, real or perceived, of their county, it's players or their style of play? Looking back through some posts I think it's a three-way tie between Dublin, Mayo and Tyrone. What do you think? neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 25/07/2016 17:42:58 1889911 Link

Definitely Mayo. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 25/07/2016 18:01:03 1889925 Link
Mayo without a doubt. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 25/07/2016 18:02:53 1889926 Link
Definitely Mayo, we're about as sensitive as toilet seats. liner (Mayo) - Posts: 756 - 25/07/2016 18:12:19 1889929 Link
Now that is a sensitive issue, Depends on the criticism I suppose, Tyrone have been subjected to a lot of unbalanced , personal, offensive , labeling from TV panelists .. note how one of them is now desperately scrambling to climb abroad the Tyrone bandwagon as soon as they began winning matches again.

I just think there's random posters who don't like people disagreeing with them and spit the dummy out. There is also a really annoying 'click' of posters who are forever patting each other on their backs etc and they feel that they have more say than others due to the amount of posts they've made. It's funny really. Brolly (Monaghan) - Posts: 4472 - 25/07/2016 18:29:55 1889937 Link
We are not sensitive. How dare you accuse us of being sensitive! liner (Mayo) - Posts: 756 - 25/07/2016 18:36:12 1889942 Link

Well played Liner! :) We Galwegians are a sensitive lot; it's all that Spanish blood and the poetry that flows naturally in our veins. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 25/07/2016 20:26:18 1889991 Link

We Dubs are not sensitive to criticism at all. I take grave exception to this thread. Remove it admin!! avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 25/07/2016 20:46:38 1890004 Link
such a thinly vailed snipe at dublin and mayo how dare you sir AnBuachaillGlas (Fermanagh) - Posts: 287 - 25/07/2016 23:48:18 1890081 Link
I think it depends on the topic really. . Tyrone fans hate being called up on their team's "ways and means" when it comes to getting the little advantages on the field Mayo hate being called bottlers Dublin don't like anyone mentioning population, Joe McQuillan, central funding, Croke Park, preferential treatment Monaghan don't like being labelled as the 1 man team that they are Kerry don't like to be told they are capable of cynical or negative play Donegal don't like being told their team is over-the-hill cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 27/07/2016 14:11:54 1890957 Link
I would have thought it the other way re Joe McQuillan. I'm yet to see any Dub fans get sensitive about McQuillan, why would they? Have you heard any of the Radio Kerry phone in's post 2011 final. I'd say Joe would never be let set foot in Kerry for his holidays, they still blame him for that loss keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 27/07/2016 14:48:35 1890978 Link
Replying To festinog: "Well played Liner! :) We Galwegians are a sensitive lot; it's all that Spanish blood and the poetry that flows naturally in our veins." A few if the lads got fairly sensitive a couple of years ago coming out of salthill, didn't one lad text the Sunday game or was it Michael lyster himself that said about Galway winning an all Ireland before Mayo do! A statement I would shoot a mayo man if he said something similar about mayo winning before another county! Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 27/07/2016 14:59:40 1890990 Link
