You wouldn’t believe the sheer number of people I’ve dragged to watch Mayo lose All-Ireland finals in south London pubs over the last 15 years, with the narrative lure of the curse. That business rate cut has come at just the right time.
Wow! I've watched this a bunch of times now. This is sport at its best. Teams giving it their all, representing their counties.
The underdog prevailing after years of hurt.
You can feel the passion. The relief in their unbridled celebrations at the end of the game. Love it.
"OH THE GREEN AND RED OF MAYO!!!"
Mayo fans are in full voice from the Hill to the Davin

For the first time in 75 years, the Sam Mcguire Cup comes home to Mayo, Ireland.
I said it three years ago when I was in Ballina: Mayo for Sam!
And I meant it.
I said it because I know what it means not just the county of Mayo but to my own family’s story.
Today, the dream becomes reality.
Congratulations to my friends in Mayo. You earned this victory. Enjoy every minute. Sam is coming home ☘️
Honestly. So much to say but, Never in my lifetime. What a day. What a moment in time. Delighted.. Absolutely delighted.. 75yrs too long. #mayo4sam ❤️❤️
Huge congratulations to @MayoGAA
“The dog days are over.”
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed - only someone with a heart of stone could begrudge them!
Saved their best performance for the biggest game of their lives!
