There's a seam in this Mayo team that runs all the way back to when Jimmy ruined football. Indeed they were the lads that finally put Jimmy to bed (2014 I think) with a savage beating in Croke. Some 12-13 years of football have taken place in that time, and Mayo have been right at the forefront of competitiveness in most every season. All without a marquee forward.
Every man, woman and dog on the street has enjoyed watching Mayo during this time. It's high energy football based on belief and personal responsibility.
If everyone tried to play football like that, we'd have the greatest game of all. Yet every club and county team across Ireland has instead tried to emulate Jimmy's "formula". All because it worked once, just happening to do so just before the great Dublin team came along.
Shame on you coaches of Ireland. Shame on you.
This is almost entirely made up
