Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "And why not?"
Do you think the Armagh forum would be likewise as nice ? Or Tyrone ? Fermanagh ?

I suppose we have history of this.
Sure didn't half of monaghan turn orange in 2002.
Best of luck to armagh but it will be a killer if they take Sam home and we couldn't.

You would know more about Tyrone and Fermanagh. I do know we always had great support from Armagh when we went to Croke Park. I am a proud Ulsterman.

Yes think they would.

What's your point?

I have nothing but respect for that Armagh team. After all the bitter defeats they have suffered over the last number of years, losing Ulster finals on penalties etc, to see them go down by 4 pts to Kerry and for them to buck up and battle hard to win by 2 pts after extra time was fantastic, any other team that have had their losses would have dropped their heads and let Kerry rock on. Such resilience is to be admired and should be shared with every child who plays sport.

I don't have one and won't have one but I will wish them well in the final.

Must be something else to be stuck in the scotstown bubble where everyone is below you.

Do you wish everyone in your life to not do well either or is it just sport you want everyone to fail bar the mighty Scotstown at all costs including taking your neighbours stars?

Ah lads, its fundamental to the the GAA that you hate your neighbouring team/parish/county! We can't want Armagh to win, at least not in public...

Well you don't become successful cheering on your neighbours…

That makes it OK to take your neighbours players I guess.

The real Derby for monaghan people has to be Cavan and their the ones I would assume we would have the grudge against.

Armagh iv never felt that.

And some clubs don't have neighbours to either cheer or jeer because they've assimilated them all!

Absolutely serious steel from them and McGeeney coming back year after year what a story if he lands an All Ireland. Doesn't seem to have been mentioned much in the discussion afterwards but their conditioning was so much better than Kerry, really only one winner in that extra time. They also seem to be able to keep their panel mostly fit and injury free, unlike ourselves this year.

Wasn't a problem pre 2013….bit like Dublin in many ways. Only a problem when you win! Won't bother anyone in the parish.

You've had a long run masquerading as a supporter of a Cavan club, albeit under a different 'handle' as you'd say yourself.

Which of the 4 parishes are you referring to when you say it won't bother anyone in the parish?

I think you need to go back to school. There is 1 parish.

Nonsense. Currin, Roslea and Kilmore /Drumsnatt are not part of Tydavnet parish. It is you who needs to go back to school Tom.
