Nothing in comparison to your compadres last year hill!
You had to have witnessed it from a non-blue perspective.
It made the fall all the sweeter for the rest of us though! ;)

you get a select few in every county just like your own who had never won any all ireland and then became big headed.
shows how far tyrone have fallen if your getting your kicks out of dublin not winning back to back all irelands.

loads of them on forums non stop plus you had the endless talk in the media which is always going to be worse with dublin than any other county as its dublin after all..likes of clondalkin of course..this fella is the best ever and so is that fella...dublin have more than most although the thought of mayo winning sam scares me as they will be unbearable on here....they go on enough about beating dublin the odd time as it is

every county that wins the all ireland has guys bragging not just dublin its all part of it,most people on here accepted that was going to be very tough to have the same hunger to win it this year after winning it for first time in 16 years,every county has people say their players are the best just go onto most peoples best 15 teams and you will see most have their own county with more players in that team.clondalkin is genuine i dont always agree with him and he dont always agree with me but he does know his stuff.as for the media i dont get it at all you complain about dublin getting the few pages the weekend their playing but every day you have man utd or liverpool across our back pages and you have no problem with it,i for one would rather see gaa headlines and pages ahead of soccer played in a differant country,also dublin have the biggest following thats why they get more coverage it kind of makes sense.

im not disputing the coverage dublin get they are obviously going to get the most coverage as the media is based in dublin and dublin has the biggest population in ireland plus it is the capital..it is the same in every part of the world...just felt dublin had more annoying fans than most this year....i have had no problem with donegal fans on here..they are generally knowledgeable and dont try and set up petty wind up threads which you see certain other fans doing

hmmm there was athread donegal for 3 in a row and they hadnt even one their first all ireland at this stage.
also threads saying cant see anybody stopping donegal for years.i dunno man i actually thaught their was alot less about this year from supporters because after landing sam after 16 year wait most just enjoyed this year being all ireland champions the pressure was off.the media factorys may be based in dublin but the journalists are mostly country guys just like the politicans so i dont see why that would do anything.

You'll find that there was a 3 in a row thread but it was about Ulster Titles and not All Ireland. We're realistic enough to know in Donegal that we are still learning and improving every year, we certainly will peak and maybe have done but I still think this team will change and evolve. We certainly are enjoying the All Ireland title and will do foe another while. There will always be lads who get carried away from any county when they have success but ask any of the genuine fans from Donegal and you'll find that we are grateful to the players and management for delivering this one but are hungry for more and hopefully they will come!!
IMO the All Ireland 2013 is very much up for grabs between Donegal, Mayo, Dublin, Cork, Kerry and maybe Tyrone is they stay injury free. I think all these teams will make the quarters and its all on the day after that!!

Do you seriously think Maigh Eo are in with a chance? Seriously??

Yes I do but it is an outside chance. They have a chance based on the same path as this year. Mayo will win their province leaving them just two games from the final. It will certainly depend on who their opponents are in the quarters and semi's but if the draw is kind to them then they do have a chance. I would however place them below Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Tyrone and Donegal. The reason I stated Tyrone as a maybe is that they will need a fully fit squad as I think there 1st 15 is good but have a weak enough bench and it will be a battle to get out of Ulster whereas Mayo should come through their province handy enough. Galway flattered do deceive last year and Mayo won't be caught cold.

i agree and thats what i was trying to point out you will have guys come out of the woodworm after any county wins and start the bragging it happens in them all,thats why i say take nothing away from donegal or dublin for winning just dont pay attention to that type of people becuase nine times out of ten these guys are only there for the big days not all year.
