All Ireland senior football final 2012 Donegal v Mayo

[J70]

Donegal Town is where the homecomings take place. IF we win, that'll be the main first stop. Whether we'd go through Sligo or run the gauntlet of Kesh on the way through Pettigo remains to be seen.

Sure apparently Jim McGuinness is the new Saviour and there's a creed going on up in Donegal and everything.

Afraid it'll be a reprise of Galway's tearful (cheerful?) walk across the Shannon in the shadow of the mighty Roscommon fortress of Athlone Castle, lads.

Tarmonbarry would be the more likely spot!!!

[Rossfan]

Surely ye'll fly him straight to Knock if ye win?

[From the Bunker]

Get a grip lads, talking about home comings. Jez, ye are in for a big land thinking like that. Lets enjoy the lead up to the game. Two humble counties, badly hit by emigration. The next couple of weeks will be a lift to people home and away. There is alot of inter-marraiges between the counties and there are similar demographics.

[sans pessimism]

Ho!Ho!Ho! Just clean the chimney

I hope Donegal and Mayo will have the generosity to include Sligo in the big day.

Well Donegal did bring Sam via Sligo last time, but this was largely because the manager was from Bundoran. I'd say they'd prefer bringing it through Omagh this time.

I was below in Sligo for that! They came out on the train. Jaysus I remember the Red Bonner comin off the train with a pint in his hand. Must have been some party. Good few Mayos were below to welcome them back that evening.

Can t believe its 20 bloody years ago. We ve lost 4 AIs since! If they win 2/2 and we lose 5/5 in that time it will make for some contrast in fortune.

Is that not technically in Westmeath now  or does the Ballaghadereen Rossie argument fall down by Syferus's hand.

Only for administrative purposes. Everyone's addresses west of the Shannon are very much 'County Roscommon'. Completely different situation to Ballagh.

Sure its a bit of Banter Bunker, I certainly don't think the Mayo lads are saying anything thats not tongue in cheek. I do hope that the Donegal people believe the hype and unlike us they have not be forwarned of its dangers, sure how could they, one appearance, one victory. But they should remember Down people believed they always won finals up until not so long ago.

Does anyone know if SuperValu are selling tickets for the final?

Not for finals I'm afraid.

[moysider]

Finals are for club mafiosa and their families - many who couldn t be arse going to earlier rounds.

And neutrals who want to be there and then complain when Mayo don t give them value for money
