Depends on the form that year but have a soft spot for Waterford hurling at the moment; think Mullane and Kelly are great players and Fitz is a bit of a spark. In football, its a tough one, Mayo and Roscommon due to family connections, Galway cos I admire their football, Dublin cos I enjoy the Dublin fans. Then there is the counties that everyone underestimates, Limerick cos they deserve to win and have really put it up to Cork and Kerry in the last few years, Wicklow cos they have Micko and I enjoyed their run this year and Sligo cos they did a great job of frightening the **** out of Kerry this year (fair duce to them).

525586 Roscommon. Always had a soft spot for the Rossies and after my own county would always check for their results, can't give a reason, just always found Ros people very friendly and seem to really know their football and for a county with such little success over the years they have fantastic support. Would love to see them get promoted along with ourselves this year.

Ah shucks Redrom! I was thinking I dont have a second county its Ros and Ros alone but for your comment il have to put Offaly down, and to be fair I find Offaly to be a great county its a pity that the football isnt brilliant at the moment but you have great hurling sucess! And I do spend alot of time in Killeens in Shannonbridge. Great little village!

For the genuine supporters, Id say the dubs. Ive a soft spot for Roscommon too, suppose you could say its their supporters too!

Always had a soft spot for Armagh after their first final in many years in 1977 - Paddy Moriarty, Joe Kernan et al. especially as I was raised on talk of Armagh's famous penalty miss against Kerry in 1953 & how all of Kerry felt at the time that they would have won if they scored. Can't remember who missed that penalty now but knew it off by heart as a child.

Though it hurt at the time I couldn't begrudge them their win in 2002. The scenes after the final whistle were truly amazing & historic. They should have won more as a team from 2000 to 2005.
