Well, it clearly didn’t stop ya nabbing one of their weemin/men (have to be careful here, it’s the 90’s after all)
I’d like to know what Freud would have made of this situation.

I despise Tyrone with every fibre of my being. I loathe them. I absolutely hate them. It's all based on that team from the 2000's and the amount of rats that they had playing for them. Phillip Jordan got Marsden sent off is one of the worse things I've seen in sport (as well as Kelly's gouge on Comer unfortunately). My uncle used to do a good bit of work with Jordan and after that incident he didn't do as much! Funny thing is that I don't find this current Tyrone team as objectionable on a player by player basis. Michael McKiernan is a mouth piece. Darren McCurry is up himself. I can't think of too many more that I would hate as much as many members of the 2000's team. But such was my hate for that team, that Tyrone could have a team of Collie Holmes', guys who are on the panel, are totally anonymous and you have no real opinion on and I would still hate them.
I can't stand Down and not so much because they are our traditional rivals but because everyone is always banging on about 'Down football', and how good they used to be. I guess it would be similar to the way people talk about the Armagh team from the 2000's, but Down's time was even longer ago. They somehow fluked their way to an All Ireland Final in 2010 and it's gave people more ammo to talk about the greatness of Down football. Delighted to see them doing so badly.
I wouldn't be a fan of Donegal either. I hate their shirts, can't stand the Donegal accent, get bored of people talking about going there on their holidays (I've been twice - once as a baby and then one time when I was in Fermanagh and drove into Pettigo before realising I had made a wrong turn, so turned around and drove back into Fermanagh). I think their style of football is awful and think that Michael Murphy is one of the biggest yaps in the game - based on the rough attention he's got over the years it's hardly surprising in fairness.
Laois would be our boggy team. Honestly we could draw them in the qualifiers with us riding high in Division 1 and them stuttering along in Division 4 and they would still have a good chance of beating us. They are one of those teams that just pull you down to their level. Their fans are mouthpieces as well.
There's no one else that bothers me too much. I used not to like Dublin when I was a teenager but I moved past that. Kerry are cynical and don't get called on it. Antrim bug me because they should be better but aren't and can't get their house in order.

Would be on the same page as you for a lot of that.
Likewise, I don't find the current crowd of Tyronies just as bad-and I would add that at the recent game at the AG, the two Tyrone fellas in front of me were very civil and genuine when offering their their good wishes at end of the game. But like most of us, I would consider myself still scarred from the noughties crowd and will never completely thaw in my attitude to them.
Yup, the Down attitude is genuinely annoying.
'Down are true Royalty'. I suppose if you consider most of them are intermarried cousins, then yes, Down are like Royalty.
I actually have a soft spot for Dublin. I always found true Dublin gaels/fans to be great craic before a game and have fond memories of many of them offering good wishes immediately after the 2002 Semi Final. Was actually hoping that Dublin would beat Kerry last week-agree that nobody seems to call Kerry on their cynical play.

Wise up.
No but it was an attempted gouge which there is no doubt about whatsoever

Enuff said
I remember when our game against Galway eventually came to its sad conclusion, the stadium PA blared out 'N17' by The Saw Doctors
What would they have played if we had won?
Would they dare play DO'D anytime Donegal win? Quick way for the stewards to clear out the ground

How do we know it was an attempted gouge?
Look at the mountains of social media abuse given and it's all wrong.
But maybe that doesn't matter.

We will find out plenty of times in 2023
Potential candidates; 'Orange Crush' or 'Orange Blossom Special'
Much easier for the Oak Leaf County.
When one thinks of a tune originating out of Derry that still after all these years, will call out to the young punk that still dwells within all of us, only one answer.
'All kinds of everything' by Dana
I would pay money to see the reaction of Derry wans
Yeah your right. He was probably attempting to get the hair out of his eyes.
Look thats your opinion and that's fine. Not going to comment on it further on it. As it's over and been dealt with correctly
Although think I understand why some counties have a distaste towards us
What was it Mark Twain said;
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience..........
Surely Orange Crush by REM would have been fitting
