If you want a history lesson, there was never a redrawing of the country boundry in Donegal as we always paid our bills. Ballaghaderreen is in Co. Roscommon, Bundoran is in Donegal, a county boundary is a County Boundary. Ballaghaderreen businesses pay their rates to Roscommon CoCo. Ballaghaderreen is in Roscommon.

Says the poster who didn't remember that Mayo played two group games in Roscommon in 2024 against Dublin and Roscommon.

Mayo were given the option as Roscommon was unavailable. They pushed for Limerick having had the experience of been there before. You'll remember that game versus Kerry, the one with the Mayo lad with the massive beer belly slowly wandering onto the pitch as he couldn't run and the daughter begging him to stop.

I don't want or need any history lesson. I am not from Mayo or Roscommon. The facts are Ballaghaderreen was in Co Mayo when the club was founded in 1885 and was naturally affiliated to the Mayo county board. When the local government act of 1898 changed some county boundaries one of the biggest changes was moving Ballaghaderreen into Roscommon. However the GAA club never changed it's affiliation, it was founded under the auspices of Mayo county board and remains under the remit of Mayo CB to this day and has never played in Roscommon club competitions There is no GAA rule associating an area's rateable authority and their county board. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 923 - 05/06/2025 19:12:56 2615194 Link 2 |

Can we shut up about where the game is being played? Jesus Christ. Let's get the monkey off our back and send Mayo out of the championship. They're a much worse team than us. eddieSize5Balls (Donegal) - Posts: 159 - 05/06/2025 22:00:45 2615217 Link 1 |

Sure call to Ballagh GAA on your way to Hyde Park or Solans bar in the town a huge Mayo GAA pub and tell them they should be playing in Roscommon….i think you'll get an answer!

Some of ye seem a bit more obsessed by sending us out rather than progressing…? Anyway Donegal do indeed have a better team than us at this moment in time and are raging hot favourites. I'll travel more in hope than anything but sure will see what happens.

Eh I did remember. I was at the games. That wasn't the point I was making in my posts. I love you can't admit that you don't know your History when you were trying to be a smart lad. Keep trolling lad .

Leaving aside everything else and all the nonsense about Ballaghaderreen, you did make a false statement and haven't admitted it yet. You said multiple times that the final neutral group match couldn't be played in Breffni as Donegal played there in round 2. This clearly isn't the case, as Mayo had the exact same scenario last year. They played their round 2 away match in the Hyde and also played their final neutral match there. So there clearly wasn't a rule preventing Breffni from being the venue for Donegal-Mayo. You either made a mistake or made that up. A strange one to make, if you were at both matches in the Hyde last year. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2361 - 06/06/2025 10:33:39 2615272 Link 3 |

I didn't. I said Dublin hadn't a leg to stand on because of their Croke Park neutral issue. Fair enough if you don't think I have a valid point . That's a separate issue.

Much worse than us? Wouldn't say that at all, on their day Mayo are capable of beating anyone in the country, they are a dogged team. Haven't beaten them in the Championship in 13 years also. Yes we will probably be bookies favourites but it's going to be a very tough game.

To be fair you did say at 8.21pm on 4 June, and I quote "It was never going to be in Cavan as Donegal played there the previous game. Absolutely everyone knew that. This debate is so stupid...". I love this forum! WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 75 - 06/06/2025 11:37:00 2615289 Link 1 |

Grand and clarified why it's not the same as Dublin. Fair enough if you don't think it was a point. I don't know one single Mayo fan I spoke to who didn't think it would be anywhere else bar the Hyde or Croke Park.

No, I'd have to agree entirely with what the Galway poster is saying. And all that tells me is that the Mayo fans you know must have a serious sense of entitlement.

This is an exact quote from you: 'It's not about exact distance. How many times do i have to say it? It was never going to be in Cavan as Donegal played there the previous game. Absolutely everyone knew that' This has nothing to do with Dublin or Croke Park. You repeated a few times that Donegal-Mayo couldn't be in Breffni, as Donegal had played their previous game there. That's complete nonsense, as shown by the fact that Mayo played their last two group games in the Hyde last year. You either made an error or made that up, and also stated that 'everyone knew' this. Nobody knew it, as it's not the case at all. I've literally quoted you saying something which has been proven not to be true. It's not about getting one up on anyone, but it's hard to take anyone seriously if they can't even acknowledge something as obvious as this.

Entitlement? Lol. You obviously don't follow my posts on here. Not all Mayo fans think similarly. But we are the most trolled on here that's for sure.

Trolling is what you do, permanently on our thread with half the facts. Log into the Mayo blog like a good lad.

Your fellow level headed Donegal posters didn't feel that way when I was giving the actual facts around the academy. I don't troll. And never insult Donegal or make jokes about them or the people. Remember that.
