Living in Limerick I've been at 3 or 4 games between the two, tbh I would say from what I've seen on social media and in the stands there is definitely a bit more of a nastiness to it, in comparison to ourselves vs Kilkenny ,a lot of personal stuff being said that lads wouldn't dare saying to a players face, which is way below the belt, every fanbase is no different unfortunately

Best of luck to Wexford at the weekend . Although both teams are underdogs in the bigger frame of things, I'd prefer to see Wexford prevail in this one. Clare have had a shot in the AI series over the past two years and fell flat. Hopefully, Wexford can make a better fist of things. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2085 - 19/06/2024 13:28:52 2552985 Link 0 |
I have to agree too, personally I've found Clare GAA supporters to be some of the worst and most toxic people. For years they've been airing their dirty toxic mess in public and when Davy and Lohan were managing they tried to drag us into it too. Remember when Lohan made accusations against a Wexford player, saying they intentionally nominated a Clare player as a close COVID contact so they'd miss a game? Perennial victims and always seem to be on the receiving end of GAA conspiracies. They're the county I least want to see win an AI, at least until Lohan is long gone.

I know a lot more about Clare hurling than you think. And the personal veto's ye have, Funny thing is, if Lohan is not there next year, guess who will be looking for the job and possibly get it. Love see Clare faces then.

That's just nonsense I go to every game underage ect never a word if you have seen did you call it out because from what you are saying its both sets of supporters. IMO its a downright lie what you are saying clooney (Clare) - Posts: 960 - 19/06/2024 13:40:39 2552994 Link 0 |
Nothing too toxic really, usually a bit of craic drim thr Kilkenny crowd at times but from experience it's good natured. My only negative experience is Clare and when Offally were flying unbthr 80s and 90s they were insufferable. WEXILE (Wexford) - Posts: 311 - 19/06/2024 13:42:24 2552995 Link 0 |
Just remembered as a child being told to shout "**** in the powders" at KK fans if they were giving us a hard time. An apparent derogatory term for kk folk which originates from 1798 rebellion whereby they were supposed to have **** on the gunpowder instead of joining the rebellion. It's more than likely historically not true but I dunno I wasn't there! That's probably lost on youngsters generation now as never heard that recently.

Well it must have been a very few because I was in that stand also any Limerick fans around us were grand as were Clare fans the atmosphere in Ennis this year was absolutely fine. Limerick/Clare have always had a rivalry you know every County has a few idiots so why add to the drama its clear Wexford are annoyed but I can assure that both sets of fans will have respect for each other no point in trying to make it out to be like Rangers/Celtic clooney (Clare) - Posts: 960 - 19/06/2024 13:46:39 2552997 Link 0 |

Unfortunately I am talking about both sets of supporters here. This is my opinion based on what i have seen & heard over the years !! There is nothing wrong with healthy rivalry but there is a toxic bitterness creeping in. It is actually the one fixture in the round robin that i don't look forward to now ( unfortunately )

It should be noted that Simon Donohoe was supposed to be marking Fitzgerald that day but didn't go such a good job of that.

They are horrible. Have been at countless Clare games over the last 3 years. You won't meet a more spiteful bunch of people. Bitter and always playing the victims. The way they carried themselves after the Munster final and KK match last year were beyond belief. Follow in their managers footsteps.

I wouldn't say we've ever had a rivalry as bitter as Limerick and Clare to be honest. Things obviously get heated when we're playing Kilkenny from time to time but they'd be isolated incidents. And we had a strong rivalry with Offaly in the 80's and 90's that wouldn't have been all that friendly.

This is actually the seventh time we've met in the championship in the last 10 years. We played them in 2002, 2005 and 2006 too.

I've seen stuff with tipp fans in 19 and my brother had an incident as an 11 year old with tipp fans in 2001 replay. I had an incident with a couple of cork fans In 03 on the hill after Rory McCarthy goal me and my Kilkenny mate laughed our ***** off at them. Even though I'm from the boarder of wexford and Kilkenny never had an issue apart from maybe the odd ref call. Clare I didn't like during the Davy years the abuse the gave him especially coming out of thurlus. There are wexford eejets aswell 100 percent Wexfordgaa (Wexford) - Posts: 304 - 19/06/2024 14:16:00 2553010 Link 0 |
That was how I saw it. Both sets of fans and very nearly a punch up after the full time whistle. I have never seen any bad blood with Wexford and opposition support as long as I am going to their matches. Dublin? Don't follow the football and never once had a bad word with the hurling. Might not be enough of us to form a mob. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1256 - 19/06/2024 14:40:09 2553022 Link 1 |
Those were depressing days, particularly 06.

My children hate the Biffos. I just nearly feel sorry for them. Nearly.

In my experience Tipp and Offaly fans are the hardest to listen to.
