Well guys, that was emotional.

After a whirlwind journey and a final score of 2-14 to 0-15, Sam travelled back to Tyrone for a fourth time on Saturday night. If you’re a Mayo supporter, you might not be in the headspace to laugh about it just yet. And that’s okay. Time is needed to heal and regroup. But whenever you’re ready, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most iconic social media reactions to the result, and a few legendary posts from the lead up to the match that need to be archived forever as part of our history.

We’re all a fan of a bit of Mayo curse related humour but when all’s said and done, it was a great result for Tyrone, and you love to see the celebrations. There’s always 2022 guys.
