The deflation in 2002 was like nothing I'd ever experienced. Well, 2010 v Cork was 100,000 times worse but excluding that.
I actually in a mad way didn't really mind the defeat v Mayo simply because I thought they would go on and do the business against Kerry. Boy was I wrong.
The Swedish Milk maid, McDonald is on NewsTalk now.
Respect .... ye haven't a player that would lace his boots!Quote:

You should know that my ire is always reserved for Donaghy and Cooper. I could lace them easily.
Er, no guarantee the Dubs will beat Mayo, though I do hope they do...Quote:

Either way... It will be epic.

The time wasting today was horrific. McQuillan was afraid to let a football match break out. The best team won. But they have their work cut out in the final.
I thought Dublin were pretty disgraceful when they went 10 points down - how they finished the game with 15 men I'll never know.
Mayo was dead right to slow the game down when they had too.... All the majors team do it nowaday. Mayo play for only 55 mins and nearly got caught out, they have to do it for 70mins the next day. Dublin should have started with O'Gara and McManamon. They did damage in fairest - i cant under stand how Alan Brogan got through a test on that groin! - as soon as he kick the ball, he was gone.
What i hated the most today (it was the only thing) was that arse Brolly - who does he think he is! i met the C*** once and i swear if i ever see him again - i decked him. He talks rubbish and only ever won 1 all ireland medal and he thinks he can talk all his crap!
Yep Brolly is a ****. The RTE panel are going on about Donegal as if they are going for 5 in a row. A few weeks ago they thought they were useless. Delighted Mayo will be be big underdogs. Horan has done a fantastic job, his team are no longer innocent and soft.
I also don't think Mayo choked when they went 10 points up. They put an almight shift in and a number of key players went off injured. Dublin were bound to react but Mayo weathered the storm.
The complements and praise afforded to Donegal by Spillane and O'Rourke have surprised me in light of the negative opinions they held last year (and earlier in this year's championship, according to shakermaker).
I feared Mayo were going to bottle it yesterday. The game could so very easily have gone Dublin's way had they put away that glorious one-on-one goal chance at the end.
They normally save that for the Final :)Quote:

I don't think they choked, they just came up against a superior team. Like Italy up against Spain in the Euro 2012 final.
1951 is a long wait. I think I'm gonna read the excellent House of Pain to get ready for the final.
Tryical galway man :)Quote:
