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! :P
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?

Kerry have only 36
As one of the dual counties we like to add in our senior hurling title as well. ;D
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.
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)
