I Would think they get alot further than sligo every year. Do not remember they played alot if good games and won against dublin and tyrone . And even though the lost a few all irelands in the last while they still got there. So for the first two posters think before you type in future .

i heard that aswell, somthing about celebrating the last one whilst driving past a funeral and the priest said that he didn't want them to win another until all the team died! it might not be true and probably isn't but who knows? think theres only one player left not sure.....

I do not have an opinion on this, new year resolution not to give the Mayo crew such a hard time. My point is to Dellboy, i know you mean well here but what has Mayo beating Dublin and Tyrone and getting to two all ireland finals and losing got to do with the original point? (even if the original point does border on the ridiculous). Maybe you should read the posts twice before you jump in all guns blazing.

well there must be a curse on the minors also and the u21 team also that JM managed that was a cert to win the final as still lost.
Cop on lads no curse Just lack of ability and belief.. oh ohh. and a physical presence.
I hope and dream like any mayo man, i cheer and cheer every year. We have talent just not using them right or not using them at all in some cases. Im not talking about mac either

The curse of Mayo football.In a nutshell.
1)Tiny corner backs that throw up at the sight of a high ball.
2)Low confidence Forwards.
3)Managers that continue to use stale meat when really we need fresh legs and prime players.

THE CURSE LAST YEAR WAS THAT TYRONE PLAYED PUKE FOOTBALL AGAINSR YIS FOR THE LAST 12 MINS AND THE REF BLEW FOR FOULS AGAINST YIS FOR OVER CARRYING,I THINK THE ATTACKING TEAM SHOULD BE GIVEN THE FREE WHEN U HAVE 5 OR 6 TYRONE PLAYERS HOUNDING YA

Really , it is so disrespectful to the surviving members of the 51 team.

The curse that was never heard of until 2006. It was already on the go 55 years at that point and not a word of it! It is a disgrace that someone put out this nonsense. No wonder teams aren't winnig all ireland, look at the treatment the last winners got...

Utter tripe.....we have not won Sam since because we have not been good enough. Simple as that. I do believe this is our best team since 51. Will we win Sam this year? There is no guarantee but I believe we will. Keep the Faith!

It was a secret curse for those 55 years Master, one that could never be uttered or heard... a bit like a ghost that's so shy no one ever actually sees it!

The most significant aspect of this pub-tale is the hurtful effect its invention and re-telling is bound to have had on the honourable survivors of the team of '51... may the survivors continue to enjoy good health long after Mayo have recaptured Sam...
