Tom, but we're gonna pull at them 277 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.080 a little bit here and maybe we might think maybe 278 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.440 they are just that. I mean, look at it. 279 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.960 It stacks up as a great story.

Anyway, another story for another time. But 290 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.799 this incident happened in nineteen fifty one after Mayo had 291 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.840 beaten mead In to win the Samaguara Cup. And this 292 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.080 is their third time ever win it, so you know, 293 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.200 they weren't peppered with fucking all urns either at the time, 294 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.399 so no, it was a great affair. 295 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.759 So they made it back. 296 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.840 Like all crowds do on a big, boisterous bus. Now 297 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:36.440 the argument is worthy in the bus were they in 298 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:37.039 an open. 299 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:38.720 Top within the back of a trail. 300 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.159 Or a lorry like you know what I mean? 301 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.480 But they passed the funeral procession in the village of Oxford, 302 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.559 and essentially they were you know, your respect would be 303 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.320 take off your caps, because they probably all had flap 304 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.000 caps back then.

And they suffered a freak 329 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.399 in the twenty sixteen final that was the year of 330 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.039 the All Blacks and all that, where they end up 331 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.399 scoring two own goals, own goals, I'm shooting off voter 332 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.960 feet with the fucking shotgun. That was against Dublin and 333 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:32.039 then the last lad Paddy Prendergast and Doctor Mick was 334 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:33.279 one of the last, but he was one of the 335 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.360 most outspoken and talked an awful lot about it. He 336 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.559 died in twenty twenty one, and then the final surviving 337 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.480 squad member died in twenty twenty. I thought it was 338 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.000 last year, but it was twenty twenty three. 339 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.679 It says year. 340 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.279 Yeah, I thought it was last year, which again Elong 341 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.879 getting this story there doctor Mick Loft as he passed away. 342 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.720 So that left it with absolutely coming into twenty twenty 343 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.559 six final, they were left with no surviving members of 344 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:06.360 that score left left unplanet Earth and I don't know right. 345 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.440 So sometimes like sport, when you get to the finals 346 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.399 of things, what you're normally left normally left with are 347 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.840 the two best fittest teams in it, the two mentally 348 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.240 toughest teams in it. Yes, and for a lot of 349 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.279 teams like Mayo's, like Watford, shall we say, like Galway 350 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.000 and you know in the other you know in in 351 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.360 the Hurlan, their final had been the semi final if 352 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.399 you get me, and they're already fucking bet before they 353 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.120 get there, even though they have the physical prowess, they 354 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.840 have the ability to get there, but you want But 355 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.279 what you normally find is two teams who get there. 356 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.480 A lot kill Kenny's Limericks Tipperaries. 357 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.200 They have self. 358 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.440 Belief and this is unbelievable thing. The mental game is 359 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.200 an unbelievable thing. So I wonder, do you know because 360 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.519 they've been there eleven times and like that in twenty 361 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.759 sixteen scored two fucking on goals, Like you know what 362 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.600 I mean, that's a team that don't believe. They did 363 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.840 not believe they were supposed to win or be there. 364 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.120 But that team, Yes, today, after watching that match, they 365 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.359 were down for me with the one five to one point. 366 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:06.920 At one stage, I was watching it, watching it on 367 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.640 the on the live blog on the phone and because 368 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.960 there's out walking the dog and I looked at ten 369 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.640 minutes in, I was like, lads, I thought you were 370 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:14.680 going to make a game out of this. 371 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.000 Well, they had the mental fortitude, as they're say in wrestling, 372 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:25.440 to have the to hold in there, stem the flow 373 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.039 and then turn the tide and end up winning the thing. 374 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.119 And I wonder, right, there's times I'm not totally getting 375 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.680 off the fence on this story, but do you think 376 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.759 that the hohodo is gone even if they believed or 377 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.200 didn't believe that, Well, the hoodoo is gone now, so 378 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.119 let's go all in now. It does help that you've 379 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.799 a new coach, you know what I mean. It does 380 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.480 help that you've got a batch of players who haven't 381 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:47.039 been tainted by the fucking. 382 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.039 The failures in the past. 383 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.640 They think they you know, they don't have that thank 384 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.680 And there was one guy there now he wasn't playing. 385 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:55.799 What's the name, o'shee. 386 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.880 He's even he's a carry name, but he's not. He's 387 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.279 he's been there a million times and never never done it. 388 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:02.839 Now he was out. 389 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.480 He wasn't in the game yesterday. But I wonder what 390 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.920 is it was the who'd have gone on? 391 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.400 That's that what I'm hearing from you, Tom, is if 392 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.720 you believe you're cursed. 393 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.319 Yeah, that's the thing. 394 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.599 I wonder if you believe your curse, your course, because 395 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.240 some teams are course. Cork last year in the All 396 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.319 Arn Final they were up by about six thirteen fucking 397 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.519 points at halftime and in their head they were on 398 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.880 the bus with the trophy all the way walking down 399 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.559 fucking Grand Parade and Cork they forgot that there was 400 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.079 a second fucking half in the match. 401 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.519
