Class words from Pat Spillane on Mayo. Despite being a proud Kerry man, he says that if Mayo were to win the All-Ireland final, he wouldn’t begrudge them for a second and would celebrate alongside them in their moment of glory 
“I swear to God, as a Kerry person, if I’m sitting there at 5 o’clock in the Hogan Stand and I’m watching Mayo get the Sam Maguire, I’d celebrate with them. Because I’d say they deserve every fecking celebration and every success they want. I wouldn’t begrudge them one minute their day in the sun.”
“They’re lovely people. I love Mayo as a county, and its people. Even though I’ve had some bad experiences, I just love Mayo people.”
“You’d have to say, how can you sit into a car for the hundredth time the night of an All-Ireland final, after being defeated again, and you have seven hours to go to Belmullet? And they still come back every year. So, blasted great people.”
