Is Foot and Mouth Scare a Cheeky Dubs Plot

[Barney]

Remember 2001. We do in Mayo. Galway, Sligo and Mayo all in the league semis. Tyrone flying in the group stage and have to withdraw. Roscommon play Mayo instead and Pat Holmes delivers the league title.

Now in 2007 F&M is in England again. If it strikes rural Ireland counties may fall one by one. Travel forbidden, and the only team allowed turn up in Croker on All Ireland Final day will be the Dubs. Plus instead of an allocation of 7,500 tickets and the media furore that would go with it they would get 82,500, to watch Collie Moran collect Sam.

Far-fetched maybe, and most definitely more than cheeky!!
