Donegal v Dublin

[armaghniac]

Anyone know how much money has been pumped into Dublin compared to Donegal?

donegal spent in excess of 1m euros on their one team in 2012.

Nobody has ever asked how that happened.

€894,487 the figure covers all Donegal teams. http://m.donegaldemocrat.ie/sport/soccer/e895-000-to-run-gaa-teams-in-2012-1-4590549

dublin spent 1.5 m in 2013 covering 7 teams that reached All Ireland semi finals.

which roughly means that donegal and dublin are equally matched in terms of team preparation costs.

Donegal has on eighth of the population of Dublin, they would have had to spend more to try and get something from less resources.

Not comparing like with like lads.
Out of the €895,000 that Donegal spent €890,000 was spent on travelling to Dublin with McGuinness coaches. That only left about €5,000 for kit, balls, fish & chips etc etc.
The Dublin players all slept in their own beds & had no more than 15 minutes strolling to the ground. More bias

What is this nonsense? Dubl$n spent 1.5 million on their underage structures alone in 2013. Their overall spend was many multiples higher.

Dublin even have home advantage for this one as well.

[From the Bunker]

Dublin clear & deserved favourites. They are a magnificent team & will dominate for years in all liklehood.

However no team is unbeatable & if Donegal get everything right they are in with a chance.

The first sign of a fan expecting a loss!

Huh?

You referred to them as 'they' rather than 'we'. It's the first sign of not having confidence and preparation for a loss can often see a fan distance him/herself from the team in such a way.

Dublin to win pulling up after a hairy 50mins in which Donegal  will take the lead on and hold out for a long time,
