The only embarressing one in this whole thread us yourself and you as you say would want to catch yourself on. The guards were there they would have dealt with the incident how they saw fit why would the national broadcaster report on this there are bigger rows outside chippers on a night out and i dont see rte rushing to report. And stop with your everyone is against tyrone your embarressing Tarismelting22 (Roscommon) - Posts: 760 - 17/09/2019 12:20:05 2236565 Link 3 |
It is not a lie. Obviously it is much harder to separate fans on the Hill than it is in say a premier league game, as tickets to the hill are just general admission and you can stand whereever, so it is not a 100% separation of fans. However, stewards have clearly been directed to separate opposition fans from Dublin fans. Take a look at the highlights from from 2019 All Ireland final, or the 2017 All Ireland final or the 2016 replay. Notice how the majority of the Mayo and Kerry fans have been directed up to the side of the hill near the cusack stand. I didn't stand on the hill on those days but I heard from my friends straight after the match how stewards were separating Mayo fans from Dubs and directing them up to that section of the hill. It was also clear as day when looking at the hill from the cusack stand where I was sitting, and it's still clear as day today when you look at the highlights on YouTube, it's especially obvious in the 2017 final due to the numbers of Mayo fans who had tickets for the hill. Someone in this thread posted a similar story. I'll quote it for you: "2 weeks ago a couple of Kerry young lads were in the hill for the minor game (cork and Galway) and they situated themselves behind the goals when the stewards came down and told them move up to the back corner, when the 2 lads asked why they had to move they were told it was for their own safety" I hope you'll take this on board, and apologise for calling me a liar. jonjon (Mayo) - Posts: 99 - 17/09/2019 12:31:53 2236571 Link 1 |
No he hasn't. There is a large and very nasty element to Hill16 and if the GAA had any balls (and impartiality which they certainly don't when it comes to Dublin) they'd insert seating and ensure it is a mixed area. Really don't see why this unsporting yob (the deafening jeers for Kerry's wides were an absolute disgrace and an affront to the sport) should be accommodated in this way.

Your spelling and grammar is atrocious.

I pointed out that 1) The stewards separate opposition fans from Dublin fans on the Hill. This doesn't happen in any other ground with any other supporters. I have even given evidence of this, and someone else posted about it too. 2) That there is a nasty element to Dublin support in behind the goal in hill 16. 3) A Dublin family I was talking to on the hill even admitted that. Which of those points exactly let's myself and other Mayo supporters down? Genuinely curious. jonjon (Mayo) - Posts: 99 - 17/09/2019 12:38:53 2236577 Link 0 |
Wow - you really dont like the Dubs.... Unsporting yob now eh... It is gas all this talk about the booing - TG4 recently showed the Kerry v Dublin game in Thurles from years ago, and to my absolute horror - the boos from the unsporting yobs in green & gold was deafening, even all these years later.... Go check out the late Dublin free to win the game for yourself if you dont believe me....... As for unsporting - did you not notice the meath player from Kilmainham pushing against the post and causing the upright to move in advance of a Dublin free for a point this Summer... nah, maybe you were not there and only watch from home eh.... I doubt if we referred to other fans in such a derogatory way it would get posted. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3725 - 17/09/2019 12:55:27 2236581 Link 2 |

It's simply to do with drink and heightened tensions. You always see it - winners elated and the others left deflated. Pour in a few pints and you will always get those reactions. Best not to take a few pints if you cant behave yourself and take the disappointment of losing. That works equally for both teams in any game.

If there was segregation there would be no kerry fans mixed in with the dubs which was not the case therefore your point is not valid

And if you are going to bring up my argument i think that says it all really.

Your anti-Dublin bias is blinding you- and making you deaf too apparently. 1. Did you not hear the deafening Kerry booing when Dublin withheld possession. Is that acceptable? I suppose you'#ll say it is because it's only the Dubs. Were those that booed Dublin also 'unsporting yobs'?? I'd be interested in your answer. 2. Go onto the Kerry proBoards GAA forum and check out what decent Kerry fans have to say about the trouble on the HIll. The consensus is that is was started by a group of Kerry lads who spat atand thrtew things at Kerry fans. I saw the same group coming up Clonliffe Road and their language and carry on was as bad as I've ever seen from any Dublin fan. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 17/09/2019 14:17:18 2236614 Link 7 |

What? Please use the grammar checker on your phone or computer. Then come back to me with a coherent argument and I will gladly debate it with you. I am not going to waste my time reading gibberish. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 912 - 17/09/2019 14:24:27 2236619 Link 0 |
If the subject is plural, (spelling & grammar in this instance), then the verb (are) should be plural. So the correct grammar for your statement should read 'Your spelling & grammar are atrocious.'

As I have already said, separating fans in the hill is not an exact science as there are not separate tickets for separate sections. Obviously you end up with a mix of supporters, the stewards cannot do a perfect job. you have just latched onto this and wrote a whole post about it, even though I've already addressed it. Why haven't you addressed any of the actual points I wrote? Did you actually look at the YouTube video of the 2017 All Ireland final? Are you calling the other poster who spoke about the exact same thing a liar as well? You can personally insult me and question whether I am a habitual liar and if I like to lie, but you are not attacking my points, you are attacking me as a person. Considering that you clearly didn't bother watch any videos on YouTube I am going to make that job a little bit easier for you. I am going to provide you now with a link to fan footage of the parade before the 2017 final. Tell me why do you think that the section of the hill beside the cusack stand is made up of almost entirely Mayo supporters? Whilst the seciton behind the goal is almost entirely made up of Dublin supporters? That is so so weird. You'd almost swear they were all directed there by stewards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF0eKIMk-kk Now I'll direct you to the 2013 final, where you can see what a natural mix of supporters in the Hill looks like. Skip to 7:37 in the video when Stephen Cluxton is taking a free kick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlTHAYAvJc&t=459s Now that you've watched those videos, coupled with the anecdotal evidence myself and another poster have provided, can I finally have that apology? jonjon (Mayo) - Posts: 99 - 17/09/2019 14:49:54 2236637 Link 0 |
I did hear booing for when Dublin held onto the ball. This is due to the fact that such tactics is generally seen as being against the spirit of the game although personally I don't have an issue with holding possession in order to drag the oppositions shape around. But this is not necessarily unsporting (its more frustration, similar to Dublin fans booing Donegal for camping in their own half) and is definitely nowhere close to the realm of loudly jeering young players on the opposition team kicking wides. I've been to a lot of championship games this year, in Mayo, in Donegal, in Kildare and it is a uniquely Dublin phenomenon to jeer opposition wides.
