LadyChiron1I am happy for Garron
Dr Mary McAuliffe23It’s going to be one epic year long party in Mayo - enjoy ‘cause we will be back to reclaim Sam next year 💚💛
Sen. Lemon Gogurt19SOMEBODY CHECK ON DAVE MCKENNA
Damian Shiels14Incredible scenes at Croke Park. The curse is finally over after 75 Years! Fair play to Mayo, absolutely delighted for them. Massive performance.
Mark O’Neill 🐻11So on the one hand it’s good news for Mayo but bad news for humanity as the Earth will be struck by an asteroid later today.
Tramp Press10Late start to work tomorrow morning 💚 ❤️
Fredorrarci7Mayo last won the All-Ireland in 1951. They next reached the final in 1989, which they lost. Since then, they've been in eleven finals. They lost the first ten. Today, they won the eleventh.
FlyersGoalScoredBy5Sydney Crosby never been happier
Steve4Hopefully the father in law looking down from above on this one , shame he could not see it happen a second time
Charlotte the Procrastinator4The curse is broken. Well done, Mayo. Brilliant! #GAA #AllIrelandFinal
Kevin O'Sullivan4Well, there goes my annual joke in my lectures that, being from Louth, I wouldn't know what it's like not to have won an All-Ireland in X years. Super game of football.
All Ireland Sunday! Mayo v Kerry! Even if you don't enjoy any form of sports ball, there's an *excellent*curse at play here to entertain you all. Short thread 🧵
Aidan O’Brien19The year? 1951. John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and John Heuston are in Ireland filming "The Quiet Man", and Mayo are triumphant in the All-Ireland football final, raising the Sam Maguire Cup for the 2nd year in a row. In high spirits, the team are travelling home on the back of a lorry....
Shoshana 🏳️⚧️7I wish it were easier to watch outside of Ireland, but $160 is a bit dear. They're amazing sports to watch (hurling and Gaelic) and I feel like they'd get a wider audience if people outside of Ireland could watch it - but you can't grow an audience with a $160 entry point 😔
Bill McCoy4In '89, we happened to be at a pub in Westport the day before the final. The barkeep presented us with a special beer coaster to mark the occasion - a tangle of red and green swirls. He asked my opinion. "It looks kind of psychedelic," I said. "Well, Mayo's a psychedelic county," he replied.
Sean Swift2Excellent is not the word we Mayo supporters would use hahahaha
Don Moynihan102Mayo win! This hurts as a Kerryman, but full credit to Mayo. Well done and best wishes.
Siobhán Dowling14My mother's county won the All Ireland, breaking the CURSE.
Dr Susan Greaney10Forget the world cup, this is the football final to watch. 20 mins to go, and history might be made... C'mon Mayo!
IrishPhilosophy5I don't believe in curses, but as Niels Bohr said...
Leftback3For those of you in the UK (or have access to the BBC, I'm not judging here) then the game is being shown live on BBC NI, both online or via a freeview/freesat box. Starts at 3:30 pm whilst you're snoozing off dinner.
We laid my wonderful uncle to rest on Wednesday morning. Proudest Mayo man you could meet, domiciled in the Kingdom most of his life. If Mayo were playing in Croker, no text needed we all knew where to meet. Will be raising a glass in his memory tomorrow. #gaa #maigheo #allireland 💚❤️
David Stafford3I hope you are both smiling tomorrow evening
Siobhán McElduff3Sorry for your troubles, but hopefully tomorrow will be a great day to raise several glasses for him.
Joe O’Brien2Sorry for your loss Tríona, really hope Sam will be heading to Mayo tomorrow evening
Louth For Ever 🦋2Ní mhaith liom do thrioblóid, a chara. Ádh mór oraibh amárach. 🏐
Jennifer O'Meara1Ah god, sorry for your loss Tríona. Wishing you every bit of luck tomorrow.
John oder Seán1Sorry for your loss Triona. Will be thinking of your uncle tomorrow. Here's to Mayo 👍
