That's about as far from logical as you can get to be fair.

Of the curse is utter nonsense but this just sounds like you re having a pop at Mayo's attitude based on what the people of Mayo feed into the team which is equally ridiculous. Who amongst the Mayo players, past or present, has ever blamed the curse? Who on this thread from Mayo agrees there is a curse? How many people in Mayo do you know who blame the curse? Bar the very odd crank no one in Mayo blames the curse.

Please close this thread. Nobody with half a brain in Mayo believes in the curse. The players themselves have taken responsibility again. It appears the curse has gained more interest outside the county in from within. Ill admit it's a good yarn....there may be a film made someday about it. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11229 - 28/09/2017 10:38:42 2051265 Link 0 |
Not to mention there's no such thing as curses in the Catholic faith. Forpucksake (UK) - Posts: 130 - 28/09/2017 10:44:07 2051268 Link 0 |

There is no curse. It's just another media myth. Mayo are an excellent team and they will keep going to the well until Sam is won. Whether that's next year, the following year of in 2051, we will be following them all the way. Their effort this year was top class and we were just beaten by a team that were .01% better than us on the day of the All Ireland Final. 2018 can't come quick enough pdempsey (Mayo) - Posts: 1313 - 28/09/2017 11:51:15 2051293 Link 0 |
Biddy Early is fondly remembered in Co Clare as an extraordinary woman who devoted her time to comforting and healing the sick. She is not known ever to have cursed anyone. She experienced some difficulty with one local clergyman of the day who, for reasons of his own, would have her labelled a "witch". This clergyman's malicious intentions have been greatly assisted recently by those journalists and commentators (outside of Clare) who have been busily referring to the "Curse of Biddy Early". Who started this silly rubbish? ... Some of these people would try to tell us that Biddy decreed that Clare would win no All-Ireland until after all the 1914 team had passed away. Biddy Early died in 1875 before the foundation of the GAA and long before there was any inter-county competition! d3ccy (Galway) - Posts: 75 - 28/09/2017 12:03:10 2051299 Link 0 |
The curse is just an excuse, there are 3 reasons why a team loses any match, No 1 we weren't good enough, the other team were better. No 2 our management made mistakes on the sideline. No 3 the referee had a poor game. Mayo have experience in all 3 reasons over the years riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 28/09/2017 22:25:29 2051507 Link 0 |
You should have stopped at number 1.

I don't think anyone with any sense believes in curses, fairies etc etc. but I will say this, the 2 own goals last year, the 2 lads clashing heads in Limerick in 2014, COC hitting the post with that last free this year, I just get a weird feeling about Mayo, I suppose it's all nonsense, right?
