Andy Moran took umbrage with a question from a reporter after Mayo’s emphatic victory over Louth which implied that supporters wouldn’t enjoy the build-up to the All-Ireland SFC final against Kerry in light of previous disappointments.

When the journalist asked: “Andy, In terms of the build-up, do you think the county will go crazy again or have they been burnt too many times?” the Mayo manager fired back: “You laugh at that, lads. I don’t laugh at that.

“I find it very actually dismissive, if I’m being honest. I think it’s a bulls**t question, if I’m being honest. I don’t mean that in any disrespect, but I think it’s a disrespectful question.

“Our county have been starved the last four or five years. If they go a bit nuts, let them. You’re (media) going to go to a game tomorrow. Every single one of ye, you’re going to write to Kerry or Dublin are going to win the All-Ireland final. Right? Right?

“Does anyone here think Mayo are going to win the All-Ireland final?”

When one reporter said ‘no’, Moran responded: “No. Thank you. So that question is nonsense. If our supporters want to enjoy it, let them enjoy it.”
