Damn right James, and best of luck in the final.

Well said Denise, Comment of the week Id say.

^^^ What he said.

Prefer Salad cream meself.

Pauric pull the other one. He said about west cork football before Tony even opened his gob. He also mentioned it before the match how arrogant we were as well as a Donegal pundit on Newstalk who was interviewed by Ger Gilroy! Basically any Donegal man that was in the media before and after our game called us arrogant so and so’s and the all gave us a lecture on fitness and defensive systems. Look take your moment, I wish ye the best of luck, but don’t cod yourself either, Donegal has suddenly turned into Barcelona of GAA, in your own eyes anyway.

That comment literally drips with arrogance, Diarmuid.

Bitter arrogance at that.

I think you’ll find that is a patronising comment. There is no arrogance in that comment and it was constructed especially for your reaction. Thanks for confirming my suspicions that you’re just following me around this thread with the sole intention of acting as the internet police. Pauric apologies for using you as bait!

Ha! Maybe it’s a failing of mine but when I see rank hypocrisy I tend to call it out. Your comments reek of it.

No, you my friend, are another internet police officer who offers no opinion of his own, only criticism of others. Please point out my hypocrisy on this piece please, barring the post I wrote specifically to draw you out!

Handbags! :)

Clearly you don’t know a huge amount about GAA, David. Maybe stick to being a shameless shill for FG’s inhuman policies.

Nothing to do with the county board in fact they have distanced themselves and the team from this issue.

I noticed that too, Diarmaid. That said, McHugh’s arrogance isn’t necessarily shared by others in Donegal. I do think they’ll win it though, and deservedly so as they have been the best team by a fair bit.

There was an arrogance about Armagh and to a lesser extent Tyrone that I found totally off-putting; hopefully something similar isn’t creeping into Donegal football. Believing your own hype can be dangerous; the allegedly great Armagh team turned out to be one-hit-wonders.

On a side note, I was at the Cork v Donegal match and there was plenty of booing and jeering from the Hill when Cork players were taking frees, yet if you were to believe the ABD set on the Journal you’d think the Dubs are the only fans that do that!

Het Petr, ya I should qualify my comment and state that the Donegal fans we were next to were the nicest bunch of fans we ever sat next to at any match, possibly bar Down in 2010, so quite right in correcting me that of course it is not all Donegal fans!

McHugh was an absolute joke. Twice now on the Sunday game he has accused Cork of being arrogant while simultaneously talking about Donegal like they are Gods. It’s totally hypocritical. There was another Donegal pundit on Newstalk with Ger Gilroy claiming we were arrogant as well while doing the exact same thing. I don’t know if they listen to themselves at all sometimes.

With regard to booing, totally agree with ya. Post the Donegal game I was on this site congratulating their fans but pointing out the booing (which I absolutely abhor) and I was taken apart by various posters for being bitter etc. There was also Donegal fans who claimed they hadn’t heard it, which would literally have been impossible. Fact remains that booing predominantly is a trait of the sunshine supporters from the Northern Counties (bar Down who have a bit more class) and the Dubs.

Give it a rest, eh, Diarmuid?

Is that the sum-total of your contribution? To Tell me to shut up? I’d suggest heeding your own advice and quite simply to skip my comments perhaps? Thanks.

I also disagree with the booing of players taking frees but this is what happens when the bandwagon gets going the Cork game was the first I heard some of our fans booing all summer and it’s something I hate. Most fans up here are not taking Mayo for granted we would be foolish to so don’t let the small minority tar us all the same brush and take no heed of the guys in the media that’s what happens when you haven’t been in the final for 20 years people trying to make names for themselves while they have the spotlight!!

Yeah, and butter wouldn’t melt in a cork fan’s mouth. Change the record with your crap generalisations Diarmuid.

Can I just point out that this was something talked up by the Letterkenny Chambers of Commerce…with the sole intention of bringing more money into the town. It has sweet f### all to do with arrogance or football for that matter

Do you even know what you’re on about yourself Nivag, cause I am lost as to your input to be honest?

I think Davis was right in what he said about Donegal last year. This years they are a different outfit and he acknowledged that.

Petr would u ever lightn up does all members of ULA just go around giving out about everything I don’t like f/g but your man was just messn lighten up

What are you: the Internet Police?

^^^^for my good friend, Diarmuid

There there, selective reading par for the course I see. Why are you picking pieces out of a comment I already said I wrote directly to get a rise out of you, that’s just silly. Rant away there Nivag, get all that anger off your chest. Can you point me in the direction of where I said Donegal weren’t passionate about football? Are west cork football clubs not passionate about football so, Donegal have the sole rights to passion? I’m gonna stop engaging with you now, cause your last post was incoherent and addressed issues I never even spoke about. Seems you know more about what I think than I do myself. Cya later and learn to relax will ya!

In your first post on this article it’s abundantly that you are taking the article to prove an arrogance on Donegal’s part and that you are appending this view to your increasing opinion of that arrogance, whereas I was pointing out that as a county with a great passion for their football team that they would have a homecoming whether they win or lose. It’s quite clear what I’m saying in my previous post, you’re just being wilfully ignorant as it doesn’t suit your standpoint. Stop with this nonsense about posts deliberately trying to get a rise out of me, it’s impossible to prove retroactively and only serves to make you look as though you’re attempting to cover the tracks of you’re overt hypocrisy.

Cheers.

“abundantly clear”

Give it a rest, another avatar presuming they know me. I am critical of my own team as quick as any other. Read my blog I wrote the night of the loss against Donegal. Remarkably similar to your own thoughts and the total opposite opinion of the one you’re accusing me of having. It’s patethic when someone can’t be critical of another county without being called bitter and when a county man can’t equally take that criticism. http://diarmaidtwomey.blogspot.ie/2012/08/where-to-from-here-mr-counihan.html?m=1

“cork are the best team of footballers in Ireland, I know that without a doubt”.

ZZZZZzzzzzzzz…….

Nivag can I suggest you grow up a small bit, your contributions are beyond infantile and immature! No one is forcing you to listen to my opinion, yet here you are AGAIN making remarks that you’d reprimand a child over if they were the offending party. Less time reading my posts, more time growing up!

If you dont want people to respond to them then don’t post them ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

See, more proof of your infantile approach, I’ve no problem with criticism, but your contributions have just been lies about what I said and prejudicial remarks about me, you have not put one constructive comment together, just immature rubbish rants. As the above poster said this is boring now, so let’s just leave it there, please stop stalking my comments now!

Aye, seeing as though you won’t respond to the other thread ^^^^^ up there you’ve obviously jacked it in.

Cheerio.
