    Tickets will be almost impossible to get unless you have some connection to the GAA or big business. Donegal and Mayo are only getting 13500 each while each county could easily sell in excess of 40k tickets.

    :76:Portadown is better than any spot in Tyrone, so less of it!


    Anyway, * class that Mayo are in the All Ireland final. Still fancy Donegal to win, but it should make for a nice game now.

    Donegal v Mayo provides quite an interesting match up for sure. Last year we had the 2 historical powers of Dublin and Kerry in the final. This time it is Mayo who have 3 All Irelands to their name the last being 1951 and Donegal who have 1 All Ireland in 1992. So a refreshing and unique pairing.

    Their playing styles match up nicely, as well. All in all, it makes for a fun final game. :celt_2:

    that is a big problem with the GAA its a discrase that mayo and donegal arent getting at least 30k each, instead of more than half going to corporate people or moreso ppl that sell them on for massive profit..

    how is it ruining the game?? surly teams should be able to counter the tactics?? dublin and kerry have been crying about the style armagh/tyrone had been playing for years and now they all play that style!!!
    Why didn he have a right to complain?, typical southern attitude, would you be liked to be called a brit??
    of course dublin will be back, when the GAA themselves is pumping 3 million into them every year to make sure they will the only thing is they should be winning a * of alot more..

    Best support in Ireland? I work in Dublin along with a lot of dubs and I can honestly say that most of them have never been to croke park never mine Parnell park in their lives ,and care only for man Utd and Liverpool .

    Used to go there for night-outs when I was younger. Every time, the Tyrone ones would be starting on the Armagh lads, looking a * fight constantly. Must be due to how * living in Tyrone is. :56:

    But have to say, there's nothing like a fixture between the two. Always worth the ticket price.

    Dubs are called Jackeens by the rest of the country, I presume ya know what that means but ya dont hear us crying to the officials, Ya were saying how the Dubs were dirty and fake hardmen yet ya go crying to the officials when ya get called names, Also Armagh during their hayday a few years back were one of the dirtiest teams ever to step foot on a GAA pitch and thats a fact. So the GAA only put money into Dublin Gaa, do me a favor will ya:87:

    Where did I say only dubs support premier league teams? I work with about 200 dubs and only a handful of them would follow the Gaa,I'm not saying that's typical of the whole city but only what I have seen. So maybe you should climb down off your high horse lad

    It's well seen you were never at a disco in An Port Mór. Equal opportunities hidings there no matter what county you were from.

    There'll never be a Rangers in Tír Eoghain. :smiley-laughing002:

    you said and I quote " I work in Dublin along with a lot of dubs and I can honestly say that most of them have never been to croke park never mine Parnell park in their lives ,and care only for man Utd and Liverpool"

    Im not on a high horse but I will defend my county from country folk who spout their usual anti Dublin bullshit:86: when I came on this thread there was the usual Dirty Dubs, Fake Hardmen, Glad they were beat blah blah And im sticking up for my county but that seems to annoy folk:icon_mrgreen:
