Who is Brian O'Driscoll?
I didnt think Dublin even had a football team.
If this doesn't make the hairs stand at the back of your necks im not sure what does.
However some of the 'biggest fans' wouldn't have a clue about these players 6 months ago. people jumping on the bandwagon is a pet pieve of mine.
I can relate this to IADT in the sense that being from Kerry in Dublin, I naturally got a lot of abuse after Stephan Cluxtans kick to give Dublin the Sam Maguire. I love the banter had and i'd always say Dublin deserved it. It's afterwards when i asked 'were you watching the game?' i'd recieve a firm NO! Dublin fans grew ten fold when they got to the final, and i know for a fact a lot of fans there had no intrest in being there,just a fat wallet that could afford the seats.
During Irelands soccer downfall, support for the national team dropped an alarming amount. However i can almost garentee it will rapidly rise again since there qualification for euro 2012 which makes it cool to follow the team.
This however does not take away from the fact that ireland have the best followers in the world. In the link about Brian O 'Driscoll he says it was like playing in Dublin.
Its only after studying psychology you realise how important the crowed is to a team.....so go show your support to the team when they are down....not just when its cool to do so
