dubs vs culchies

Mayo will be stripped clean today, 2 bus loads of dublin's finest gone shopping 

I am a Wexford man, from New Ross. F#ck all down my way go to games. But that's down here in general. But there is a good few from outside Dublin that go to games. Massive amount form Galway.

Whats a better team?

Drog Addict wit da big Northsider accent on him , turns on da meath/drogheda when he leaves da big schmoke....

Wat accent do you use in Drog Land

I'd say the Pale would support it more because it's easier to get to home games and faster to get there. 

Over the last 20 years or so the interest of football has increased dramatically thoroughout the country and this has without contributed to the increased support for the national from non traditional football parts of the country. The increased participation and interest in football of heretofor "passing interest" supporters is probably the single biggest legacy from the Charlton era.

The names of towns and villages on dispaly on tricolours is evidence of this.   The irony in this is that there is a large number of old school fans, fans who would have supported the national team "home and way" for years have packed in the international team. Some will tell you that "their" team has been hijacked by glory hunters and newbies who havent a clue about the game but are only there for the session.

I wonder if this is true.  Apart from the glamour matches has our core support group got bigger or smaller.  There were some 4,500 supporters in Moscow in 2002 and only a few hundred for that famous game in 2011. 

Dubs  

I'd love to hear from JAVIER on this topic. Im sure there was a documentary shown on ESPN Argentina about the loyalty of Republic of Eire's fans and their geographc location.
