Get over it .. I don't usually boo even if those on the hill around me do but i did on saturday night. But so what ? get over it folks. It happens.. there is too much of this moral highground rubbish amongst the GAA community. Oh this is wrong and thats wrong , It Shows disrespect to the opposition and a soccer hooligism adopted by the brits bla bla .. RUBBISH , We dont leave Croke park looking for fights and in fact many of the people boo-ing will go have a drink with opposition fans after the game wether we win or lose the game.. All we do is make a small bit of noise to try distract/put off the free taker. 9 times out of 10 it doesnt work anyway because the free taker holds his bottle
We dont do it to disrespect teams. I have the utmost respect for Kerry football and always have nothing will change that. Just cause i boo-ed and hundred/thousands more boo-ed on the hill we are the worst GAA people about ? fair enough it wont bother us once we win games.

There's no point going on here giving out about booing supporters, who know nothing about the game. The Dubs that are on here posting in February are the genuine knowledgable lads who are mad about their football. There's no point giving out to them about their hangers on booing.

878001 This booing is standard Dubs supporters behaviour - it's been going on for years and the authorities in the GAA have done nothing about it. Could they appeal for silence? We don't get boos in rugby. Is it alien to GAA culture to show manners? I don't think so.

Ha ha ha what can the Authorities do .. throw us all out ?

It was quite comical to listen to some of them. They obviously dont know much about the rules of the game. Or maybe the Dubs just didnt commit any fouls on Sat night.


I too was in the Davin Stand with my kids and if it wasn't for the booing I would have had to leave early with them cos they were bored (I blame Damien Dempsey). I turned it into a game. The one who can boo the loudest gets the most jellies :-) If you took offence to the booing, did you take offence to the Mayo boys having a laugh at the top part of the Davin shouting at the top of their lungs making up all sorts of rhymes with swear words and everything!? You even said yourself it was comical. It's banter. There's no vitriol involved for the most part and it's what the rest of Ireland has come to expect when playing Dublin. I for one make no apologies for my fellow countymen or indeed my children. If it's silence you want, try rugby or snooker.

When did people start saying 'banter' in this country?
It conjures up images of people acting like eejits and thinking they're great craic.

What happens when they are at some under 10s school match or whatever and they start that carry on?
Poor kids may well be excluded from sports cos of what you're teachin them. Not sayin your a bad parent or anything but you need to think about how the kids will extrapolate this lesson into the rest of their lives.

Its sporting values that allow people to enjoy games. Its not a war.

Soccer supporters boo each other and cant acknowledge that anybody outside of the team they support are any good at all or appreciate good scores. The GAA has always had a type of mutual respect even between the fiercest of rivals but of course it is the Dublin fans and Dublin GAA people seem to just ignore the most valued of the GAA traditions and customs such as respect and loyalty. THey are fast becoming as bad as soccer crowds on many issues such as
1. Booing
2. Not clapping when the other team scores
3. Throwing items from the hill
4. Singing the best example of a soccer song (come on you boys in blue)
5. Going to the matches for the opportuninty to get drunk rather than watch the game
6. Going to matches to slag the other team and the other teams fans, something which up to now i have only seen in soccer.
7. And just in general having little or no respect for the GAA and its values.
