Provincial bitterness poll!

[Hardy]

Three things I don't understand.  Why people feel the need to tell other people who they should support and the number of people who can't count to three.

[Farrandeelin]

As a Mayoman, I would have an awful time if Sligo ever won Sam, Lord Jesus they'd be on about it till eternity I imagine. Roscommon, if they win Sam before Mayo we'll never hear the end of 'we're level with ye hahahahaha'. Galway, if they win it before us, they'll be in double figures!!!

Wouldn't mind seeing Leitrim win it before Mayo do though, I've no ties with Leitrim at all and sure they have the least population of any county in Ireland.

Basically, I've no problem with any county winning Sam west of the Shannon, so long as Mayo can do it first...which may well be a problem!

I'd rather see linfield win sam than Armagh or Tyrone. Any other Ulster team I may support.

Well I think your mention of Linfield might say a lot about your mentality, you'd be better off supporting linfield with a statement like that.

You fail to see the tongue in cheek nature of the remark.

The Sentiment remains the same. Anyone But Tyrone & Armagh

So you're proud that you wouldn't want two of the other eight Ulster counties to win the All Ireland, how pathetic is that?

I'm a Tyrone Gael first but an Ulster Gael aswell and will always be backing the Ulster teams.
Amazing how narrow minded some people are at times.

Several reasons for disliking tyrone. Their hypocritical nature, especially Hartes, they scumbags they have in their squad, SOME of their fans who are unbearable, the fact that in tyrone football only began in 2003 for some fellas and how they were one of the first teams I noticed who brought in blatant diving and puke football to the table.

So I have a very broad mind. Maybe in 20 years time I'll admire tyrone as a superb footballing side.
At the mintue no. Same with Armagh.

It's no coincidence that during the national league when scores from Tyrone and Armagh games are read out there is a large cheer if they are loosing.

I'm afraid for me Ulster is a category, not a god given order to follow anything within it. I call the games as they come. I supported St. Galls as much as the next man.

Pot. Kettle. Black. 

[mylestheslasher]

Didn't down try and mimic the style of mass defense as introduced by tyrone. Didn't coulter himself say it made for such a,poor spectacle that he wouldn't go and watch a down game as a fan. Sounds like u will be unable to support down now either.

While I don't agree with a lot of that, at least your honest.

[Lazer]

My like and dislike of teams is more to do with there Style and attitude as opposed to where they are from.
I also have a tendancy to suppost the underdogs - would love to see Fermangh win Ulster.

The only team I actually dislike is Tyrone, I really don't like their style, them (and to a certain extent, Armagh) brought negativity and cynicism to football - when I think of Tyrone, I think of diving, time wasting and ultra defensive.
Until Saturday, I wasn't a fan of Dublin, but after watching them, I like their style!

Outside of Ulster, I have a soft spot for Kildare - they play free flowing attacking football, the kind that is entertaining. Hopefully the semi - final will be very entertaining, with Down to win of course!

[SLIGONIAN]

I just cant support anyone outside Sligo bar waterford hurlers without it feeling fake, i dont know why but ive always went mental watching the waterford hurlers. Have an undeniable soft spot for them.

The rest i dont really care about although i hope Louth win leinster soon, followed by fermanagh,....I dont hate anyone outside Sligo as much as i make out, its all about Sligo for me. I have respect for most county supporters as we are all more alike than we admit, and but for the grace of God id be a mayoman or vice versa, i certainly didnt chose to be a Sligoman but i'll stay loyal.

Sometimes i feel our football opinions on here are used as barometer of us as people but its not the case, ive good friends from Mayo and would do anything for them vice versa but in football terms we hate each other. It doesnt mean i hate the people.
