It’s been a brilliant season, full of twists and turns, and the best was saved for last. Where that ranks among all-time final upsets? Who knows. But do think about how very few people picked Mayo winning going into this weekend. Sometimes a curse is superstition, and Mayo proved Ireland otherwise this year.
