    This is a football forum, we are talking about football...

    Of course Gah fans appreciate local rivalry, but then again if you got a Cork lad arbitrarily deciding to support Dublin hed be laughed out of it, and rightly so.

    We are talking about geographical rivalries, which do exist, especially in Gah.

    Yep, naturally. Doesn't mean they are inferior or anything like that.

    How do you define geographical? And to what level?

    Counties?

    North-South?

    Different sides of a city?

    Different towns within a county?

    Different regions with a country?

    All thse rivalries exist in 'soccer'.

    There is often rivalry between Dublin and non-Dublin clubs,

    And regional rivalries like Harps and Derry. and the Louth teams.

    I've heard gaa fans going for their 'rivals' in the championship when their county is knocked out. Not real rivalries at all

    That'll happen, a Kerry man might shout for Dublin if they are playing Cork. Doesn't mean the Kerry Dublin rivalry isn't huge, they just hate the neighbours more.

    Boll to the ocks. Perhaps less vicious in rivalry than football, but GAA rivalries are most certainly real rivalries. More so between villages and towns than counties in my experience though.
