Over the years, Boyle has sent messages of support to the Donegal team before big All-Ireland championship games.

In 2012, and on the eve of the Ulster final, Boyle published a Tweet wishing good luck to Paddy McBrearty and the rest of the team.

Donegal beat Down in the Ulster final that year and would go on to lift the Sam Maguire trophy after beating Mayo in the All-Ireland in Croke Park on September 23 2012.
