Hurling-Waterford

Football-Donegal/Mayo [I pray its not Tyrone or Armagh]

Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

So on summary from a quick glance so far

Football - Mayo, Cavan, Roscommon, Laois & Donegal the most popular

Hurling - Waterford, Wexford, Galway the most popular

People seem to be voting for traditional powers (well counties that had golden eras or football or hurling mad populations who are starved of recent sucess.)

Why do people like Roscommon and cavan so much? Enlighten me. ;D

I can understand Mayo is just a sympathy vote and Donegal created alot of excitement in 1992.

I hope Mayo win a football one soon.

From this boards point of view its ABU (Anyone but Ulster) or ABC (Anyone but Cork) though I would love to see Cork adding to their 6 football titles. They have been stuck on 6 now for years and are falling further behind us.

Tipp for the hurling.
2011: McGrath Cup
AI Junior Club
Hurling Christy Ring Cup
Munster Senior Football

AZOffaly

Assuming the Offaly double attempt falls a little short, and keeping it somewhat realistic, I'd like to see Mayo or Down (stretching the realism there) winning the All Ireland Senior Football, and Tipperary or Limerick winning the hurling.

Hurling - Limerick/Waterford/Galway/Offaly/Clare/Wexford/Tipp
Football - Mayo (they deserve one at this stage) / Laois (Go on Liam Keirns) / Wicklow (Go on Micko) / Clare (Go On Paidi)

Hey SLIGONIAN 

People like to see the team that tries and tries such as Mayo in football or Galway/Waterford in hurling to go all the way or likes of Cavan & Roscommon in football because they are part of the traditional winning counties club,
I think people like seeing new old faces on the Sam rather than the shock of a no-hoper never hoper winning it, maybe they can cansole themselves being bettered by a lower county if they can say a Sure they always had the tradition or pedigree so us losing to them isn't the end of the world!

I think thats the reason, or that may be all a load of waffle

I'm all misty-eyed at this affection for my native county. It's easy knowing we've won f**k all of late  ;D

Hurling: Waterford
Football: Mayo
