Incredible Donegal facts

[blast05]

As we all know, further debate on who will win the football All-Ireland is pointless. So its time to raise a glass to Donegal and highlight some amazing Donegal facts.....
- Daniel and Majella O'Donnell have confirmed they will have cups of tea on the stage in Letterkenny for the Donegal team when they bring Sam home (or should that be Donegal town, or is it Ballyshannon, or Bundoran ......... ?)
- Shay Given resigned from the Irish soccer team to ensure he would be available in the hope that Jim McGuinness would call him up as 3rd choice keeper
- Packie Bonner has offered to serve as kit man.
- A delegation of Killybegs fishermen have offered the Donegal county board a million euro if the players will come out fishing on a fleet of boats for a day between now and Christmas. All the fish in the sea will automatically jump into the ships nets cos they will know that resistance is futile and that the result is a foregone conclusion.
- A bunch of Bundoran surfers are to start a charity surf on the Friday before the game leaving Bundoran at 3pm and arriving in Dublin the following evening just in time for a Rory Gallagher tribute concert in college green that kicks off the celebrations the night before the game.
- Donegal county council will commence a large scale reclamation project whenever the celebrations have died down where they will reclaim Lough Swilly from the Sea and create 300 All-weather pitches to host Donegals 1st of 10 GAA centres of excellence. This will ensure domination for decades to come
- Pearse Doherty has confirmed he will start giving the proportion of his salary above the standard industrial wage to the Donegal team holiday fund rather than to the SF party. It is hoped that the €4 million fund required for a space trip for the panel can be raised within 30 minutes of the launch of the fund at the college green tribute concert.
Any others ?
