I was in Croke Park for the Kildare match and having parked, a bus load of 18-22 year olds landed and the proceeded to act the maggot along Drumcondra Road. They were hammered for a start, pushing/shoving each other, bumping into other pedestrians and slabbering for all they were worth. It is great to see and hear big support for the county, but there is nothing more embarrassing to see fellow supporters carrying on like that, all neatly identifiable as Armagh and GAA supporters.
However, if you think this is an Armagh or Tyrone problem you're deluded. Every county has their share of assholes following them and some of them can't even use drink as an excuse for their boorish behaviour. The notion that going to the match includes 6/7 pints in a bar before hand or a carryout on the way down the road. I hesitate to ask, but you can honestly tell me that Cavan doesn't have a problem with laddish behaviour and that these lads wouldn't be in Croke Park the next time Cavan put a run together.
