All Ireland senior football final 2012 Donegal v Mayo

[J70]

Seriously though I would be of the opinion that Michael Murphy needs to improve his performance for donegal to win the AI.  Poor by his standards.

He's mostly been used as playmaker and has done quite well. Ulster final in particular he had a superb second half. Frees have definitely been fairly inconsistent though.

How many sons of Sam winners from 92 are in the panel for 12. As for the Murphy question one ridiculous  pub comparison recently called him the Nando Torres of Donegal this year.

Anthony Molloy will keep Mícheál Óg right.

Great photo!

Who is going to mark Murphy in the final is going to be a big call. Well, maybe not, because it kinda has to be Cafferkey but Ger struggled in Ballyshannon. Mind you that was Murphy before his latest injury and he seemed sharper then. Keane would be possibly better to match him for size but I suspect they might go with Caff.

Caff on McFadden surely .... Murphy won't stay in inside forward line and we would prefer Caff to stay in our FB line.
Higgins to follow McHugh and Keegan on Murphy.

Higgins made McFadden look pedestrian in Ballyshannon. To such an extent that they dropped McFadden deep to get on the ball and try and hit Murphy from deep. A good string to Donegal s bow. McFadden is a very good ballplayer in a deeper position. Wouldn t argue much with any of your match ups except I think that we will keep our preferred back 3 as our back 3 and I cant imagine us changing our shape to the extent that Higgins would be dispatched to chase McHugh all over the place. I think Cork showed that s a waste of time anyway. I expect Keegan to be deployed with attack in mind rather than a marking duty. I d set Boyle loose as an antidote to McHugh and rather than mark him tell him to play hell. Waste of energy getting a player to follow McHugh everywhere. Put a plan in place where somebody picks him up when he comes back over the equator!

Kerry people reckon it's Mayo's for the taking.

Won't lose sleep about the tickets for the final but there was at least imho twice as many Donegal fans at the semi final last year as were Mayo fans this year. Glad to see the amount of tickets each club in Donegal got as  I reckon that it should satisfy the most deserving in those clubs.

Don't know where the figures came (or even if they are accurate) from but will definitely put some pressure on Mayo CB  ( and indeed CBs in the future)to do likewise ( *if as I said these figures are not a spoof).
