Leitrim and Longford wouldn't be too intense good craic when we meet each other in matches really. As for the rossies we wouldn't be too fond of them now at all! rahoorahoo (Longford) - Posts: 56 - 13/02/2018 17:23:52 2076587 Link

Speaking of Leitrim it has two more Ulster neighbours with which they have no rivalry ! Fermanagh and Donegal ! Very amicable footballing people in lovely Leitrim altogether ;-) AnBuachaillGlas (Fermanagh) - Posts: 287 - 13/02/2018 20:07:00 2076622 Link
Replying To Gleebo: "I honestly don't think that's true, the majority of Mayo folk respect Galway's tradition, even if we obviously want to beat them. We also have a genuine rivalry with them, as evidenced by the celebrations when Galway beat us in MacHale Park a couple of years back. Galway have obviously won several more Sams than us and fair play to them, but the head-to-head and provincial records are sufficiently close to foster a decent sense of competition between the two counties. On the other hand, it's hard to fathom the vitriol coming from the other side of the fence when the recent record against the Rossies is so one-sided. When others refer to class, I refer to honesty. I consider it disrespectful to plámas or BS people. How people take it is up to themselves." Whatever! Ye think that ye have a God given right to win Sam and have choked so many times. I'm fine that we are behind Galway and Mayo in Connacht but it's relative really considering we are a much smaller and way more sparsely populated county. It's looking like this Mayo winning Sam boat may have finally flown. It seems it's not going to happen. Galway look like they have more natural forwards into the future and may in the next number of years be in with a chance of winning Sam. So get over your obsession let a good man and face reality. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1142 - 13/02/2018 22:08:33 2076653 Link

LOL! Maybe Mayo will win Sam, and maybe we won't, but we'll be a lot closer to it than your crowd will in any case. I recall a lot of Rossies getting carried away before the All-Ireland quarter-final last year, and that didn't end too well for ye, so it seems to me that you can see the mote in your neighbour's eye but not the log in your own. 22 points, that must have stung alright. And let's not forget that you haven't beaten Mayo in the championship since 2001,including a number of occasions when your team have been favourites. Pretty sad latching on to Galway, though.

what defines a rivalry? for example,wexford and waterford would have little or no rivalry. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 14/02/2018 12:21:28 2076751 Link

Replying To moros: "And the clock keeps ticking!" That's what clocks tend to do. Didn't John Evans promise the Rossies an All-Ireland senior title a few years' back? I imagine the clock's ticking on that one too. http://www.the42.ie/roscommon-john-evans-all-ireland-2070553-Apr2015/ Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 14/02/2018 13:13:31 2076776 Link
Take out some of the big rivalries such as Dublin/Meath Galway/Mayo Cork/Kerry Tyrone/Armagh I think a lot of it comes down to where you are from within the county. I know in Longford the south of the county would view Westmeath to be our biggest rivals where up North Longford it would be Cavan and west it would be Roscommon but I think the rivalry stems in those areas because of a lot more interaction/dealings with the closest neighbouring county through schools, social scenes etc shared across borders. I'm sure there are people in Meath/Cavan who acknowledge a rivaly between the two more so than people say on the Longford Side of cavan because of where they are situated. But because the way things can go in championship a lot of 'Rivalries' are never pl;ayed out unless youre like the teams I mentioned above who constantly play at a higher level together or are in a smaller province and meet more frequently! Id love to play Westmeath a bit more but as we both often Yo-yo through the leagues and Leinster is so big it doesn't happen often LongfordSham (Longford) - Posts: 124 - 14/02/2018 17:26:52 2076871 Link
Oldcastle, Kells, Nobber, Carnaross, those areas of Meath would have rivalry with Cavan. Somebody on the Meath/Dublin border obviously would've see it as a rivalry. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2879 - 14/02/2018 17:44:33 2076872 Link

Replying To rossy15: "When was the last time leitrim played cavan" Never in the championship. If ever in the league, it hasn't been recently. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1189 - 15/02/2018 00:07:25 2076951 Link
