Equivalents In Outpouring Of Wider GAA Fans To Mayo's Win In All Ireland - 5 Like(s)

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "I saw Kerry supporters throwing drinks over Dublin kids in Davin End in 2011. Certainly didn't hang around for the presentation."
What a post in the middle of positive posts. If we opened a thread on behaviour of Dublin supporters over the years the forum would go into meltdown

Replying To Claretandblue:  "In relation to three teams from each section qualifying which has been discussed at length here is that one noticeable feature of the games I attended over the weekend was that there was far more intensity and urgency as a first day defeat means sides are almost into knockout matches. Loman's vs The Downs last year in the group stages was like a challenge match, there was zero euphoria or disappointment among supporters afterwards as both knew they'd qualify, that wasn't the case this weekend, Caulry against Garrycastle in next round is basically a must win match for both sides, that makes for very interesting matches."
Any system where the 4th ranked team is knocked out yet the 9th ranked team qualifies is not fair.

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "It's not possible to lose twice in the current format Sam Maguire, and still win the competition. Lose twice, you're gone."
It is. Dublin were beaten by Westmeath and Louth. And didn't Mayo lose twice actually? Provincials and next rounds are all part of same competition.

I sincerely hope he did not have those bets, for his own sake.

Congratulations to Mayo. They have done it by sheer persistance and refusal to give up. Must be a lesson there for a few other counties

Replying To Seanfan:  "We're in an era of "1 in a row" as a good few teams of similar standard around plus its hard to win an AI under the new systems."
I suppose shows how good that Dublin team that were able to do 6 in a row, also probably shows that the Mayo team of 2016, 17 were a very good team and in any era they probably would have won at least 1 All Ireland. Yeah so many teams at a relatively similar level, sure Mayo hadn't even reached the quarter final the last few years. So about 7 or 8 teams will fancy their chances of winning Sam next year.

One of the great All Ireland wins yesterday. Never seen anything like the outpouring of emotion. Made me think how would I feel if we did it . As someone who was just a small child in 96 I'd say I would be extremely emotiononal if we got over the line. I hope to see it at least once in my lifetime. Mayo showed yesterday what can be done when you work your socks off and believe you can do it . It's very hard to see us winning one any time soon but I really hope Derek and his management team get a spark out of us and get us back competing with the best

Replying To sligo joe:  "All of Dublins 9 wins since 2011, front door, some draws, no defeats!"
Which is why they're the greatest team to ever play the game bar none. I don't expect to see any team replicate what the Dubs did during those years. Whilst this years championship has been exciting, you couldn't say it was a spectacle of skill, still a lot of teams afraid to go for two pointers and far too concentrated on possession. I think also the goal will have to increase to 4 points to encourage teams to attack and not take safe options like handpassing round the arc to get in positions to kick one pointers. As well, no team should be able to loose twice & still be in contention for an All Ireland. Still a few tweaks needed to the championship to increase the jeopardy required to improve the game.

Brilliant year for Gaelic football rounded off with an excellent win for Mayo. Congratulations to everyone in Mayo and Mayo posters on this site. The big gentleman O Shea talked well after the match, overjoyed for him.

There has been an incredible rush to write teams off all year. Donegal nudged Mayo out of last year's championship with the last kick of the ball. Nearly everyone discounted Mayo. Dublin were written off after the league. Tyrone were written off as well despite an impressive quarter final win last year.

Replying To The_DOC:  "Are we the idiots for trying to be a dual county?

Just do what Kerry, Mayo, Donegal //Limerick , Kilkenny, Clare etc do and focus on one sport, throw a small bit of effort into the other one just so its looks like ya care.

Then get the entire county behind one sport?

I dunno, I assume all of Mayo will be supporting Galway next year so we can end our 26 year drought?"
No we're not.
Every county should strive to be a dual county,even if the sentiment is slightly whimsical.
