Donegal assistant manager Rory Gallagher has sensationally blamed the Dublin Bus strike for the team’s heavy defeat to Mayo in today’s All-Ireland quarter-final.

“They’ve a duty of care to their passengers and public”, said the former Fermanagh, Cavan, Erne Gaels, St. Galls, St. Brigid’s and Crosserlough stalwart.

“Stopping work to allow Mayo to drive their whole fleet through our defence is a gross violation of health and safety rules. We’d heard that today was a double-decker bill at Croke Park but that was not what we were expecting.”

“Now we’re left with two broken down coaches to tow back to Donegal, emperor’s new clothes for the players and only a badly torn blanket for shelter.”

Good one

This lad struggling with the meaning of the word condone

3144

The Cavan full back, I think (oddly)

“We have to wish Mayo the very best in the final, now.” - Jim McGuinness

Another probing TV3 interview

3147

Brady is such a posing cunt

3148

Reporter chickened out of asking about Magee in the context of Jimmy’s pre-match comments. Hopeully the print journalists have a bit more balls.

3149

so happy to see mayo win what a performance

3150

Dublin a far better side than Kerry but Mayo would be praying for Dub in the final

In TFK parlance mayo never feared the Dubs!

Hard to see Tyrone bothering Mayo too much after that

3151

hopefully they won’t bottle it this time

3152

I was listening to Brady on the radio after the Tyrone-Monagham match yesterday. “The two subs, O’Neill and McNabb, made no contribution whatsoever to Tyrone winning.”

O’Neill only scored a beauty of a point to put Tyrone 13-12 up. Didn’t contribute at all.

Dublin are a far superior team to Kerry and Mayo will be hoping Kerry win, without question.

3154

Hopefully. Horan should take them off grid somewhere for ten days before he final. No phones no media no supporters.

If you read Keith Duggans book about Mayo football the expectation and their handling of it seems to have been comical at times.

3155

Doubt it. Last place you want to meet Kerry is in a final. They have beaten them in three finals since 97 as well.

They have the football to beat anyone it’s just the mental!

3156

Tyrone V Dublin final for me, with the Dubs to win.

This time it’s different.

Fair play to Donegal for throwing caution to the wind. Only 13 men behind the ball with 20 minutes left.

3158

Mayo will bottle it, you can take that to the Bank

3159

In fairness Sidney it was 12 with Magee’s sending off. They didn’t want to risk a sucker punch.

3160

The Bank in Newry? Could well be the place for the Donegal piss up tonight. They certainly won’t show their faces in the county for a few days.
