Ouch just checked their vote total, they definitely are the ones to beat. Will be tough to make up some 40+ votes
Thanks to both of you for the help!
I'm bad at Facebooking, but I think I liked it.
Good luck
Done, but you're gonna need more than scoop to get you across the finish line. My suggestion: commit to someone as your +1 to take, and tell him or her to enlist absolutely everyone they know (incentive speaks for itself).
Done!

Yeah my plus 1 would've been the friend I tagged in the original post... but we run in a lot of the same circles so unlikely it'd help. But I'll try!
That number 4's lead just keeps growing

Number 4 is a little kid. That's like asking me to kick a puppy to vote against him.

I'd like to see the time stamp of that photo. I'm just saying I could've entered a very similar photo of myself in fields in Ireland feeding cows, still wearing a Mayo jersey.

Voted. Down to 4 votes difference.
Scoopers, share this to your Facebook and suggest your friends like the first comment. Even if 5 of us do it and get 5 responses each, that should do it.

It's August kin. You won.
Down 11 this AM. I really thought I was starting to pull away up 9 when I went to bed yesterday.
Done...
but ok, can you explain what this is for again in different words? I'm slow. Is this for Gaelic football or all the "All Ireland" sports? I tried googling this, wasn't sure!
You can buy facebook likes. For like $5 you could crush that kid.

The championship in Gaelic Football and Hurling are both referred to as the "All Ireland". I'd get to pick which one to go to (it'd be the Gaelic football one).

Done. Not an FB guy but voted as my wife ;D

Pretty much always in a Mayo jersey, and carrying a Mayo flag except at MU games.
Again I thought I was pulling away and this lady comes back. 1 vote between us ugh

Unfortunately not, I appreciate the thought though! If a spouse or child or friend has Facebook you could send them the link and say "click 'like' on the first entry" but that's it.
DONE ! ! ! 8-)
Morning bump, down 6 votes this AM. Anybody who doesn't generally post but may see this, please help!

Dodd's board is solid idea, I'll give that a shot.

Got my cousin in london to get his cousin, who's an influencer, to share it. It seemingly worked this AM!

as far as this board is concerned the last vote I cast was for President Michael D. Higgins in 2018.
Down 3. If anybody is still considering helping it would be hugely appreciated!

I did! My cousin represented Ireland in pool and has loads of followers. Unfortunately that cousin is now mad at me and decided to pull his help.
Apparently if you dont read a contest's fine print and find out the tickets are for next year's all Ireland when Mayo's in the finals this year then some people get frustrated with you... 😬
But honestly who makes a highly public contest that says "All Ireland Tickets and Free Flight Home!" Two weeks before the final?! 2022 should've been in big bold letters!

Well, I hope it's enough to keep you in the lead. Even if it's not this year, it's a fantastic prize.
It may be more enjoyable next year anyway.

Yeah, I mean the overall experience would be I'm sure.
But to give you some context, Dublin's the seven in a row champion beating Mayo in the finals some 4 or 5 of those and hadn't lost in since 2012) Mayo just beat Dublin in the Semi's so its the general attitude that we actually have a chance to get over the hump to win the championship for the first time since 1951 this year.

I would assume the rules prohibit you selling your prize. So you wouldn't be able to go this year and then sell the prize to recoup some funds.
Or just threaten the organizers that if you don't get to go this year, the mods will make sure the organizers never set foot in an Arby's again.

It'd be impossible to just go. The reason these tickets are worth their weight in gold is because of their allocation. They allocate a few thousand to the two counties playing, which first go to season ticket holders, then are filtered down to the local GAA clubs, then they allocate to GAA clubs around Ireland based on population. Next they go to sponsors and to the international GAA organization. So for context, the USGAA (includes Canada as well) gets 30 tickets and usually has a raffle for them, which is how I got to go in 2016 when that photo was taken. Point is that tickets really don't just go on sale they are purely based on luck or connections.
Well great now I'm getting accused of cheating because I caught them cheating. What a cluster unnatural carnal knowledge. I offered them the airlines ticket and instead they're posting crazy things.

Lol I don't think so. I forgot on the first night I posted on a Like4like page asking for likes (got 2 from it... deleted it) and they found the post and are claiming that most of the >1000 likes are fake accounts and I couldn't possibly be keeping up with them. Accusing me of buying clicks, etc etc. the irony is this all stemmed from me finding their post on a like4like page.
You should buy them 5,000 likes then point out all the fake accounts after. Better if you buy them from an obvious troll farm ;)

Oh that's because I have all the payments set to be sent after 11am Irish time on August 31st.
Update: after all this the sponsor called me and basically insinuated that they're going to arbitrarily decide the victor. ::)
Thanks Scoop for all the votes! Couldn't have done it without this network!
Hey awesome! Glad to help. I know it's a year away, but I hope you have a wonderful time.
Congrats Galway!
So we can we expect our payment for our likes?
Congrats! I hope you have a great time!
When do we leave? ;D

Define "years" because it wasn't that long ago that we won the
FanDuel Legends Classic.

Sadly in the terms and conditions it says I can't pay for likes, so all checks have been canceled. In exchange for the likes I'll bring an MU flag to Croagh Patrick and get it blessed in Knock.
