Oh Dear – Epic All Ireland Fail in Today’s Irish Independent

On Sunday last the Dublin senior footballers overcame Mayo by the cruelest of margins to claim the Sam Maguire.

It was a disappointing game for fans of the sport, and a disappointing result for many non-Dubs who wished to see Mayo break their curse and claim the cup for the first time in 62 years.

However, it seems that two days later, some people are still living in denial regarding the result.

A special reader offer in today’s Irish Independent gives readers the chance to invest in a special medallion commemorating Mayo’s ‘historic win’.

The text of the advert, which was spotted and shared on Twitter by journalist Conor Pope this morning, reads in part;

Hardly anyone can remember the last time that Sam Maguire headed this far west but after a hard fought campaign Mayo are well deserving winner of the 2013 Football Championship. Celebrate this historic win with this GAA approved medallion bearing the official crest of Mayo GAA.

Something of a kick in the teeth to the already-down, and we can’t imagine the Dubs being too pleased with this one either…
