25 minutes into game in Clones in Ulster semi final - Tyrone up 6 points to 1 and supporters laughing and chanting 'easy, easy, easy'! They aren't laughing now. Don't agree with this type of chanting but plenty of teams at it.

1006148 I agree with my county men. I'm one of those nary narks that shush people if they're talking and I too was talking a bit during the beginning of that minutes silence as I didn't hear the announcement. Usually you can hear it tho. And yes there was people singing underneath the hill area as they made their way up the stairsto the terrace but they wouldn't have been aware if it. I did hear the who are ye chants and cheerios and that was when there was 7 minutes left and we all know how quickly Dublin can lose a lead and in less time than that. I despair sometimes really I do.

JamesHoran, maybe the Who Are Ya chants were directed at the lads playing in blue ? A sizeable number of those on the Hill are day-trippers

Who Are Ya??
To all the Dubs 'supporters', they are the team that have won 3 All Ireland titles in the last decade; have overcome much personal heartache on and off the field; and have conducted themselves with the greatest of dignity in defeat at all times. Pure class from everyone of them and for those who decide to retire. thanks for the memories. Many teams and fans, Dublin included, could take a leaf out of their book.

I think we can all agree that you will find these type of negative followers in all counties. However, it does seem to be getting worse at the big matches and this is a real shame. Is it asking too much that we hold a higher code of ethics in support at GAA matches rather than copy the antics from across the water? To hear those nasty goading soccer chants from across the water being copied and used increasingly at GAA games is just a new low.

I remember back in 70's my father covering my ears at a Munster final as some of the Cork crowd chanted 'the referee is a ******' I remember asking him what it meant? More innocent times for sure. As a child I was taught never to boo at games and to applaud good scores even if it was from the opposition and it is something I pass onto my own children at matches today. The world is changing for better and for worse and I suppose all we can do really is look after our own and try pass good manners down to the kids.

1005895 Well said, theres an apparent lack of 'class' amongst a large portion of the Dublin support, always has been, that ain't going to change and they are clearly hankering for the return of their beloved Premiership. Thankfully the real Dublin supporters more than make up for this 'deficit'.

Dear oh dear. A thread started by a Mayo man on the subject of misbehaving fans. Didn't Kieran Donaghy come in for serious abuse in Mayo a few years ago (2008 I think) and indeed got hit by a missle from the crowd also. Now that's classy alright.

Dublin fans were not booing Tyrone on Saturday. They booed some very dodgy refereeing decisions. In fairness the Tyrone players who were going down by trapping a defenders arm under their elbow would have deserved a booing for what in my book is cheating. Sad to see a class player like O'Neill resort to this also. As for the Ole chants this was merely a bit of fun bearing in mind the hiding that Tyrone gave us a few years ago. I remember serious abuse from Tyrone fans that day and I took it for the laugh that was intended.

People need to lighten up a bit I think.

It is amazing how all the supporters out side of Dublin are so critical of the Dublin supporters ,they are the gravy train that the GAA is built on and with out them there would not be all the great facilities all over the country , they are the only county that can now come close to having a decent crowd in croker and bring in huge advertising revenue .So lads dont bite the hand that feeds you.

Hate all those soccer style chants, and all it does is make the opposition hate you even more, I remember in 01 at the end of the Kerry game , we were throwing the ball around the the óles started and i thought this will come back to bite us in the . . . . how right i was
Down with this sort of thing

You need to take those dub tinted glasses off, The dubs were unmerciful trying to put Tyrone players off taking frees and they booed them when they came out for the 2nd half.

there are other chants that are alot worse, such as when the kildare people started singing 'you fat b@stard, you ate all the pies' when cian ward was taking frees in the qualifier match between meath and kildare, i think this chant is ALOT worse as it is actually very personal and not nice at all, at least with the chant 'who are ya' it isnt to any individual player!
