heres one for ye

On the basis that the longer any particular sequence lasts, the more likely it is to end, Mayo will feel that they are due a break in a final. One win from 13 attempts in senior All-Ireland and NFL finals over the last 41 years is a dismal return, leaving them far behind most of the other top football powers.

Eleven defeats (they also had a draw v Meath in 1996) from 13 games certainly raises questions about their temperament in finals. Mayo's sole success, a one-point win over Galway, came in the 2001 league final, which means that they haven't beaten non-Connacht opposition in a final since out-scoring Down 4-7 to 0-10 in the 1970 NFL decider.

I must say it is great to be in another final. Makes all of the other finals that went before sort of less important!

[iorras]

Right, time for all the journalists to dust off the usual articles:

- Mayos dismal record in finals
- The curse
- The hype in the county (as if its different in any other f**king county who gets to an all ireland, what are we supposed to do, head up the reek for 4 weeks and whip ourselves?

[Frank Casey]

Kerry have only 36

As one of the dual counties we like to add in our senior hurling title as well.

Another potential '3' related statistic for Mayo, they're going for their third successive decade of losing two All-Ireland finals in close succession.
96/97,
04/06,
12/13.

[The Moon is Down]

Mayo's full back will wear the number 3 in the final....

[Orior]

Mayo's full back will wear the number 3 in the final....

And there will be 3 minutes of extra time (during which Kerry score 3 points to win the match)

1950/1951
2013/2014/2015

[ross4life]

Only question is who Mayo are going to lose 2 in a row too. In fact I reckon Mayo will go on to lose 3 in a row

Moy could be right
