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.
THIS, THIS, 100 TIMES THIS (which I know will come as a huge shock to all the regular posters )
