The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Mayo End 75-Year Wait For All Ireland Title · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

And after 2006, uh,

There were a few lean years and then John O'Mahony came back in and that led on to James Horan and that led on to that sort of second sequence when they appeared in all these amazing riveting finals.

And in many, many ways, those Mayo teams, they made that sort of chapter of Gaelic football because they were just such a fascinating team but they didn't get over the line.

They always knew they would do someday, as Lee Keegan said yesterday, but they didn't know when.

And, you know, then yesterday everything fell into place and it was just magnificent.

I mean, I thought that was an extraordinary piece of choreography and bad luck, you know, like we were watching the TV and had to rewind

double check what had happened but you know I did feel from quite early on Matt even when they fell into a hole on the scoreboard there was just something different about the energy and about the stubbornness and there was a kind of there is a sort of accustomedness to this team and that you knew they weren't going to go away you know that they would just keep coming back so yeah absolutely I mean it wasn't inevitable that they were going to win yesterday but

I think what Andy Morin said was interesting, that people maybe misread their lead-in to this final, that they possibly underplayed the significance of their win over Lowes, because that was a big score they put up against a very well-organised and very well-motivated and good, strong, loud team.

So it enabled them to kind of come in under the radar and

You know, it was great.

Unlike previous years when they kind of came in under a welter of expectation on is this the year, et cetera, et cetera.

As you said, when chatting to Martin, nobody really gave this team a chance except themselves.

And that's all that mattered.

Absolutely.

I mean, that's the point.

Mayo is littered with, you know,

legendary players, it doesn't take Celtic Cross to make a great player and that was part of the grandeur and I suppose frustration of this story and they all kind of contributed to this in their own way.

I'm thinking of people like everyone from, you know, you mentioned

Todrick Carney and Paddy Prendergast treated Kevin McStay who did so much as a player and a coach he was obviously the last manager but it was all about just contributing and driving this thing on and

You know, the last line of that House of Payne book is the cause endures.
