Galway fans have sent Mayo a not-so-subtle reminder of their 67-year drought without an All-Ireland championship win.
Mayo have contested four of the last six All-Ireland finals but have been unable to pry the Sam Maguire Cup away from Dublin this decade with the Jacks defeating Stephen Rochford’s side in back-to-back finals in 2016 and 2017.
Mayo begin their quest back to a third consecutive All-Ireland final with their Connacht SFC opener against Galway on Sunday and the Tribesmen supporters were quick to highlight Mayo’s longstanding plight by posting three signs in close proximity to each other reading ’67 Years Trying’, ‘Still NO All-Irelands’ and ‘How Come MAYO?’, which is a clear play on the billboards featured in Martin McDonagh’s ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ which question a local police station’s investigation of a murdered teenager with three large billboards posing questions of the police chief Bill Willoughby.
Billboards aside, Mayo will look to avenge last summer’s Connacht SFC loss to Galway this afternoon after the Yew County lost by just a single point in last year’s semi-final.
Mayo last won the Connacht SFC in 2015.
