Donegal have no such problems. Two finals two wins.

Lets not talk of 5 Ulster Final defeats in a row post 92!

Were you at all those first round defeats Gold?

Been to at the very least ten of them!! I would say getting beat by Antrim was probably donegal's lowest point in the last few years actually....

Thankfully have been to all the victories.

Jimmy wasn't winning matches back then.

[haranguerer]

Mayos official nickname should be '3 cheers', but fair fucks to them for getting there

[Gold]

Were you at all those first round defeats Gold?

Just from 93 I think.

Have also thankfully been at all the wins!

Here s a thing. Apart from the 97 Senior and the 2000 Minor Finals we would have been outsiders going into all the other finals if memory serves me correctly, sometimes seriously so. We were even underdogs for the 2 we won!

[blanketattack]

I know a lad in his 30s with Currow. In his entire football career between underage and senior, he played in 24 finals and lost them all.

I suppose Dromintee in the Armagh Senior Championship have lost five County finals in the last ten years. But what club would expect to beat Crossmaglen?

Tyrone have been in a similar number of finals to Mayo over the same period but with a remarkably different outcome.

Mayo 2 wins from 21, Tyrone 14 wins from 19.

Go on feckit. Rub salt into the wounds... You know you want to

Pearse Og.

[Seamus]

Kerry have lost more senior finals (4) than Mayo (3) in the last ten years. We have by far lost more finals than anybody else so there is some hope for Mayo.
