I know this means nothing to most Europeans its Gaelic football in Ireland and since 1951 this team have lost the final 13 times.
Edit it was 11 times, still a big deal though.

I heard a superstition once that they wouldn’t win until all the players who won in 1951 died and there was only one left during the last final against Tyrone. I wonder if the fella actually died?

Great game and result. Thousands of young kids at game.

Gaelic football is such a fun sport to watch, hurling too. Admittedly, I did miss this one but I’ll always try and catch the all Ireland final(s) every year if I can.
I’d much rather people got into GAA than whatever painfully boring overcommercialised yank wank the Americans are trying to push down our throats next.

I’m English but my family come from Mayo and I’ve had many happy times there over the years. The end of that game is the happiest sport has made me for a long time!

The 75 year curse has been lifted. All the players on County Mayo’s team from 1951 are now dead, so the curse put upon the team by a pissed off priest at a funeral is over. Apparently the team, while noisily celebrating on their team bus, didn’t show enough respect at a graveside funeral they were passing.

They were cursed by a priest in 1951,the curse has ended today,the other counties in Ireland are very happy for them. They will have some Party in Mayo tonight.
