Just wondering who are the most demanding set of GAA fans?

Armagh, we demand

All Championship matches at Clones (though we will consider Long Kesh when it is built)

That Tyrone is obliterated off the face of the earth.

Managers who deliver more than one All Ireland title in five years

The forced shaving of Mickey Harte

Just realised I should have put this on the GAA side, how do I move it across?

Ask the admin nicely to do it for you.

Failing that....... demand them to!

Might do that later Ziggy, leave it on here until monday, Im not for do much when its friday evening. I suppose this poll might be useful for a prospective manager, ie which miserable crowd of fckrs to avoid, Im expecting Mayo, Dublin, Kerry, Armagh, Tyrone from the football to shoot ahead, Im not sure who is the worst among the hurling, so I might have choose the wrong Counties to go with.

The Kerry men ! Followed by Dublin.

Then Cork and Kilkenny in hurling

Kilkenny men fierce demanding, their discussion board constantly talks about who is going well in training.

Of course it has to be the Dubs.

Sure don't most of the media demand that they must win the AI, as it will be good for the GAA, and so thier supporters follow suit

Yawn....  ::)

Dublin and Kerry fans are the most demanding, the difference is though, that Kerry provide more, but Kerry fans expect Sam every year while in Dublin it has to do with the numbers, the GAA keeping them happyand of course the hype. Dubs seem to be led to think they are Super or the best, therefore demanding first a leinster title (which they have plenty of so I dont know why) secondly, an AIF appearence and third, Sam, making the Dubs the most demanding.

Mayo must be up there somewhere - they ran Moran/Morrison because they lost an All Ireland Final in 2006. :D
They were about to run Maughan( >:() until he jumped because they lost an All Ireland Final in 2004. :D
Didnt they also push O'Mahony out in 1990 because they lost the final in 1989. :D

Very high standards indeed.

Without a shadow of a doubt its Kilkenny hurling fans,They are like no other fans in the country they demand and in fairness reguarly get perfection
No other topic is discussed in the local pubs of Kilkenny once the championship starts it is pure and utter religion to them,I grew up only a few hundred yards from the Kilkenny/Laois border and know what im talking about.It really is unreal the expectation thats in that county.

Fearon, would armagh fans not like to demand a few championship matches in Armagh eventually? Tis a shame we have to use another county's grounds all the time.

Just to save Kerry Mike the trouble...

QuoteThe Kerry men ! Followed by Dublin.

Kerry fans are actually NOT demanding at all. All they want is a trip to Dublin once every September, and an excuse to go on the porter for a couple of weeks when they come back...

No Kildare or Roscommon. The most obvious I would have thought.

Is'nt The RealLaoislad lucky that he is on the Laois side of the Kilkenny/Laois border. He is able to follow Hurling and Football like the rest of us outside Kilkenny.

All Ireland's and Connacht's Kings lived in Rathcroghan Co Roscommon - or are ye trying to do a Ballagh on that too?

I seriously hope your pulling the piss Rossfan, because if its true I have decied that not alone should the GAA sever all links with the AFL, but I would call for Ireland to end diplomatic relations with Australia & both the E.U. & U.N. to impose an entire political, military & economic embargo on Australia.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I've seen in the papers over here how they describe Ireland as a "breeding" ground for potential future AFL stars. Something needs to be done fairly fast or there'll be a lot of Hanley's leaving every county for the AFL!

Although Donagh has a point about Kildare, our local rags, The Voice, The Leader, The Nationalist and The Post are full of letters, editorals and journalistic debate demading Crofton's head (they got their wish), not to mention the discussion forums.

Kildare the only county in Leinster that failed to win a minor, u/21 or senior Leinster championship match.  >:(

Even if they do win (very doubtful  :P), they won't be playing "the likes of Kilkenny next year" as there's no promotion/relegation between Liam McCarthy/Christy Ring!!!

The question asked about the most demanding, not the most delusional (only referring to the Rossies here Kildare people)

I'm afraid to say it but in my opinion it has to be the Dubs cause everytime the progress further in the competition they demand that their game be the only game be played at Croke Park that day.  They feel that tehir day should'nt be shared with some second rate compeition like an All Ireland Hurling Semi Final.

Unfortunately I have to disagree with you both the AFL do not steal our players.  Like my own county Down Martin Clarke an up and coming star of the future was given an opportunity to play in another country.  They didn't just walk into it they had to go through trials and then rigorous training to prove they are fit to play the game.  I'm afraidpeople who bad mouth things like this just proves that they are jealous and bitter because they never got the opportunity or were never good enough to play the game in the first place.

Care to answer my last question re the Dublin fans "demands" ?

It has happened three times this year when Dublin was playing in the championship that the Dublin fans said they wanted to have the match in Croke Park as a stand alone game otherwise not as many Dublin supporters could not get to go to the pub or I mean game.

For success on the field, the most demanding are Kilkenny and Kerry.
For demanding that games start 15 minutes late so they can have an extra pint in the pub, Dublin.

Are you for real?
Obviously the Dublin fans would prefer one off matches as they would get tickets easier, but thats hardly a "demand" that the GAA couldnt refuse?  ::)

And re it happening 3 times this year, Dublin have played 4 games so far, 3 of which had games on before them.  :-X

I suppose there's not much chance he'd reconsider and  move to Frenchpark instead.

Think you'll find that its the Gardai, not the Dublin fans who demand this.

Last time v Laois, they finally made the sensible decision and started it 5 or 6 minutes late, as always happens in Irish soccer and rugby internationals. In that way almost everyone is in when it starts and most of the rest are in within 5 minutes of the start. I did enjoy some of the late-heads coming in and looking bemused as the game had already started.

Anyway how would a Dublin supporter knows what goes on before a football match they are always in the pub till about 5.00 and anyway tiddlywinks doesn't count.

i'd say kerry football.
kilkenny hurlers obviously too but their demands are more often than not met.

Cop on for chrissakes.

If Sligo v Cork or Tyrone v Meath was guaranteed to sell out Croker, then they would be standalone fixtures also.

Quite straightforward, this was in reference to a previous post saying Dublin fans DEMAND that they play in one off matches.
I said this was untrue but obviously from a Dublin fans point of view they would prefer this situation for the big games so tickets would be easier to come by.
Especially given the huge demand due to the million odd people in Dublin.

Now how this is "unfair" to the other teams who have to play in double headers is unclear to me, I never once said that they should be forced into a double header, nor have I ever complained when Dublin are put into double headers as has already happened this year.

What exactly was unfair about what I said???  :-\

Cork fans are very demanding in the bedroom.

If the Tyrone and Meath game had the option of being a single game at Croke Park I know that it would be a sell out as Tyrone v Meath would be a big hit with both sets of supporters and neutrals alike.

Seriously though, exactly what was unfair in my post?

I think maybe you took it up wrong?  :-\

As it's only a quarter final, it probably won't even sell out as a double-header.

Ya but alot of Cork people will make a weekend of it, Sligo fans will come up in their droves, Tyrone bring good crowds, & Meath bring good crowds when they think they have a good team (& you couldn't blame them for thinking so @ the moment).

So expensive being a Corkonian these days...Its tough being top Hurlers and Footballers ;)
Would rather we won the Hurling though.. but both would be nice

The signature is pure class Supersub, pure class  :D :D :D :D

We'll see over the ext two weekends -
