For the sake of pantomime, I get in character for disliking Cork when we're in the same division, but even that is forced. I can't generate enough interest in any other club to truly hate them. I was pi55ed off with Dundalk for a few years after the '97 playoff.
I surprised myself at how wound up I got against Liverpool in last season's friendly, although I think that was more to do with the local Waterford people shouting against their local club.
No huge dislike for anyone in the league as such. Sligo really, Derry for obvious reasons. Aside from that....it tends to be whoever plays Harps that week.

There isn't another club in the league that occupies my thoughts for more than ten minutes a week tbh.
Having said that there's probably at least a dozen I dislike to varying degrees for some percieved slight or other down through the years. I may list them later if bored, stay tuned. :)
I hate all of them to a greater or lesser degree (and half a dozen former clubs). The extent changes over time and is kind of cyclical.
Seeing as I bleed blue and black I have no time whatsoever for that shower across the county line but it wouldn't be the same without them in our shadow.
Hate is such a strong word! Can't we all just get along:kissing:
i'd get to a doctor fast mate, that doesn't sound rightQuote:

Shels
UCD
St. Pats
Shamrock
Edit: Add SD Galway and Mervue.
Bray Wanderers.
Well, someone has to challenge their inoffensive nature!
Quicker to go through the ones I don't hate in the PD so Monaghan, Sligo, Drogheda & the Junkies.
Shamrock rovers a fantastically run football club the past few years but everyone hates them because of the scum minority that travels around the country looking for fights there animals drugged up dopes who think there hard.
wexford yohoo,s no real reason except theres feck all there,except a wine bar u cant even get into.Quote:

I don't HATE anyone, hate is a strong word.
I've always disliked Limerick. Not a fan of their supporters. I've been to too many of their horrible "grounds" over the years, rats would not inhabit those shítpipes. Been spat at by locals inside their stadium in the o-so-charming Hogan Park.
A few clubs have scummy fans I would dislike, Pats/Sligo fans broke windows in our supporters buses before. (Pats after we hammered them 3-0 on the opening day of the season a few years ago, Sligo years and years ago. To be fair that hasn't happened in years going to Sligo and most of their fans are sound to chat to).
We've had issues with local hoodlums at a few Athlone games, but I like them as a club and there are definitely some good people in the background there. Their supporters Club members apologized after some of their supporters caused trouble at a game in Dubarry Park a number of years ago.
Never respected/liked Longford or Monaghan, two teams that are basically provincial Dublin clubs that do all their business in Dublin and train in Dublin. I remember a few years ago at a game in Gortakeegan, our game was delayed because Monaghan's team bus was caught in traffic on the way from Dublin..... farcical.
That's hardly their fault. Most players either have jobs or go to university, neither of which the midlands is exactly flush with.Quote:

Also there is no better feeling than beating our neighbours Drogheda and I love the rivalry between the two clubs.
Galway United. Shower of *******s. Glad they're gone.
