The only one comparable to it was Armagh in 2002 because it was their first and it was beaten Kerry similarly against the head.
So there was the game in itself that you thought it was gone for them.
They came back.
So it's not just the...
the achievement, but the nature of the event itself.
And again, it was just something that I think it's not that it's going to be remembered for a long time.
I think there's potential for this to be almost a fissure now in Gaelic football in terms of the potential and opportunity for any team, not just the Mayo, not just their whole backstory, but you look at all the teams that will be sitting here this week.
Yes, they're on one hand giving the nod to Mayo, but they're equally going,
it could have been us and that's what you want in any sport you want you know and i made the point a couple of weeks ago or months ago now at this stage that you know back when we were all talking about dublin kerry uh galway armagh there was an opportunity for somebody from the pack to to take you know there was a there was a pathway there for an all-ireland final and and mayo took that they plotted their way through they improved
They took the opportunity on the day the cards fell for them.
We'll talk about Kerry's misgivings in a minute, but that's nothing to be taken away.
And all that accumulates.
If they had won it, luckily, if they had won it by a sort of a controversial decision or David Clifford getting injured or sending off
you know there'd be a different caveat to this the fact that they went out putting in a performance beating the best team in the country who still played okay they didn't play great but they didn't just you know David Clifford still got his customary 1-6 and Paulie put in a shift so they beat Kerry playing reasonably well in all air on final day and what a way to win it yeah Pat Spillane I mean you've been hot where's Feltony
He couldn't have four weeks in a row of wrong predictions, Pat.
I think he's actually got the boot.
Let's call it a spade a spade.
Conan's stepped in.
Yeah, and I think, as we've said here before, history is written by the victors and it's very easy to, again, re-engineer that narrative looking at Mayo by the same token, Conan, how many All-Ireland finals did Mayo lose on emotion, you know, and be bemoaned the lack of structure.
Yes.
