Anyone listening to Morning Ireland there? Going on about the “All-Ireland final” in Edinburgh tomorrow.

One lad on from the Connacht Clan (that’s the name) supporters club with intrepid tales of fans flying into Manchester, Leeds and London before getting the train up.

Then a lad from the Leinster supporters club called Jared Bromley, a kiwi or Aussie chap.

Thank fuck rugby has been all but killed off in Limerick, the bandwagon has shifted down the road. My commiserations to @KinvarasPassion and @maroonandwhite - it’s a passing fad and hopefully the dog track will be back in its rightful place of being deserted again soon.

Are you back for good now buddy or only until Limerick / Man U disgrace themselves again? I’d like you to stay around this time for what its worth.

It seems to be only when Man U disgrace themselves thankfully or he’d never be able to rear his head

Association football types on here, 95% of whom support Liverpool, United or Celtic, talking about bandwagons makes me laugh.

[gilgamboa]

Surely any lad blathering on about Man Utd, who isn’t from Manchester, automatically removes the right to give out about any other bandwagon.

In fairness if he is a limerick fan that is probably blind faith alright.

There won’t be 15 k at this tomorrow id say?

[Tim_Riggins]

There were 30k tickets sold before the semi finals.

[gilgamboa]

My prediction remains.

Not sure how many glasgow or Ulster fans will head down to it now

[Fagan_ODowd]

I’m going to predict a full house for this showpiece event.

@TreatyStones

whats the band wagon like?

She was creaking but we greased her this morning. In full flow now. There won’t be a bale wrapped in south Galway after 5pm tomorrow.

Looks like the kind of tree fairies might live in, he’d be as well steering clear to be safe

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

A hawthorn bush could mark the entrance to a Fairy court. This one looks like a sycamore. I would say he is just fine to belt away with the husqvarna.

[maroonandwhite]

I’ll be supporting them, as I’d support Galway United and all Galway teams. The bandwagon is something else though there’s cunts I know who’ve never touched a rugby ball tagging themselves at games. But it’s harmless go with the flow stuff, there’s no traditional rugby crowd in Galway, if they develop into a by the grace of God brigade that’s something else but one, am, major European final won’t lead to that. I don’t mind watching running rugby, at least they recognised they needed Lam and a few New Zealanders like Aki to play the game properly and drag locals like Muldoon and Finley Bealham up with them. They won’t keep Lam long after this I’d imagine so it’ll be back to the doldrums. nothing wrong with beating the Leinster goys however.

@KinvarasPassion’s neighbours might not feel comfortable with him trespassing with a chainsaw.

Lads, please.

Faeries.

No good will come to anyone who calls them different.

[ironmoth]

Older generations in our part of Galway referred to them as Sídhe. Not to be trifled with.

I was just watching the sports news on TV3 and there was a Connacht player called John Muldoon on it who said tomorrow was the kind of game you dreamt about playing in as a kid.

A few questions:

A) Was the Magners League around when these lads were kids ?

B) Would you not be aiming higher in your childhood dreams ?

C) Is it fair to assume that Mr Muldoon is talking utter shite ?
