The last time Mayo played Kerry in an All-Ireland I happened to end up in Spain (oh ye of little faith and all that). Everyone thought it would be on Sky Sports - even the hotel had signs up a week before advertising the match. About 5 minutes before the match was due to kick off it became apparent that Sky were not actually covering it. Setanta had the franchise. You can only imagine the panic as the Mayo and Kerry crew scarpered down town to find a pub that was showing the match.
