All Ireland senior football final 2012 Donegal v Mayo

[ballinaman]

I wouldn't read too much into the Cork goal. They got caught showboating, which won't happen again. Probably a free out anyway!

Biggest worry from Cork game would be the ridiculous misses.

100% a free out. Was in line with it in the upper Hogan.Clear push in the back when the ball was in flight.

Which would have ment they would have lost to an very very average Tyrone side. 

Draw. Point came from the 45.

If they are level on 65 minutes Mayo will win it

Donegal try to squeeze the life out of their opponents but that doesn't always work in the real world

Get that winning Sam out of your head now. Go down the night before and just enjoy the occasion. Plenty of music, pints and craic. Best to have a decent hangover the next day to dull the pain of another hammering. The minor game should be a good'un though.

On a serious note, the only way Mayo can win this is through a remarkably hefty series of poor decisions by the ref. Donegal have shown no weaknesses at any time this year. They're getting stronger and swatted aside all heavyweight pretenders. This game is like the last stage of the TdF. McGuinness are here for the platitudes and a nice freewheel up the Hogan steps. But Mayo should be proud of where they got to from being 0-12 to 1-7 down in London with a lock a minutes left 16 months ago.

Donegal 1-16 (McFadden 1-5, Murphy, McHugh, McGlynn, Gallagher, McBrearty, Kavanagh, Lacey, Walsh, Thompson, McElhinney, McGee 0-1 each)
Mayo 0-9 (O'Connor 0-8 (7f), Dillon 0-1)

HT 0-14 to 0-3

Congratulations.

Tomorrow I'll do the hands of the clock for you.

[Syferus]

All this amounts to is Ulstermen following the family line and Mayoigans being aghast (jaws hitting fireplaces, floors, tarmac, whatever's under their feet) at the arrogance.

I'd love to see someone from Ulster plump for Mayo, y'know, to fresh it up, like.

Squeaky bum time for some on here.................................. he was not being serious fer frigs sake.

Yeah, you are right there. Funny I had falsely remembered it as being 2 points in it when the save was made.

Have to say, I'm really enjoying the lead up to this. Sure we are shite (according to all ye feckers). The hype down here is next to naught. When i think about it how is a team like us who are not top five in an AI final? Sure who really have we beaten in the last 18 months, a declining Down, tired reigning AI champions Dublin, tired reigning AI champions Cork last year and a tired Kerry in the semi finals of the National league (a competition they don't give a shite about). Donegal have a far superior record over 18 months beating Down, Tyrone, Cork, Kerry and Lost only narrowly to Dublin last year.  Unlike Donegal we don't seem to have a strong manager, we have a weak backline, Midfield, Forwards, we are not cynical enough, don't have hunger and don't play as a team. Really can't really compare Mayo to Donegal. Donegal unlike Mayo have never (ever) flopped in the past when anything was expected from them.

I'd prefer to see Mayo win. No fan of Donegal. But it's not going to happen. Impossible. I'll run naked from Malin to Ballina if Sam ends up in Mayo.

[Never beat the deeler]

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

Not for finals I'm afraid.

Haha no im a very proud mayo man who has county and connacht medals nit to mention an all Ireland club too so im well used to finals and winning them;D I'll get mine from the club but just trying to sort out my cousins from London who regularly fly over for mayo games

If I am correct, you played a wee bit of soccer too, albeit in a neighbouring parish, and in the true heartland of Mayo GAA...

He seems to have managed just fine with no A v B games in the last two years.  But sure don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
