Cork Footballers

After Saturday, we’ll have played two of the three team considering likely winners of the All Ireland, and another promoted to Division 1 team. Some will cake walk into AI quarters, we’re not.
Let’s not get carried away, we got our arses handed to us by one of the two, and have yet to play the other one. We’re not exactly in Leicester City territory yet.
 
What will the mood be like .. When Saturday comes..
same shit different match.

it'll start off with "shit - this is v far away, and they haven't a hope"
then there'll be a "well, I'd better go, if only to add a programme to the collection"
then there'll be something like "they'll keep it alive for 50 minutes, and sure, dja know what that's probably grand" - that'll last a good few hours
then there'll be a "I reckon they might rattle these cunts" - thats a good hour anyways
then, about 10 minutes before throw in (after watching an unopposed Sherlock kick three different balls 10 yards wide from inside the 45) "I can't see how we lose this (this is cognitive dissonance in action).
that lasts about 12 minutes....

Very good. Now ya know that Donegal supporter mood might at the start be "tis great to be able to support our boys on our own pitch without too much worry about the result - 'tis great that we'll be rested for the quarter-final and playing some poor souls who are flahed out 3 weekends in a row - I wonder who we'll get? There's a fella in a red jersey over there - is he off his head or what? - shur in fairness I 'spose the year is nearly finished for him - you'd be sorry for them really wouldn't ya".
 
Hoping to make the trip up on Saturday - stupidly hadn't anticipated it selling out so quickly so missed out on the public sale. So I'm looking for two tickets if there's any knocking around.
