A pub in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands ran out of beer amid the celebrations for Mayo's All-Ireland win.
This might not have been the only global celebratory crisis amid the jubilation for a win that was 75 years in the brewing.
Fans far and wide, from USA to Portugal, Fiji to Cyprus, were watching the match in the green and red to cheer on Mayo in the final, reported the Mayo News.
And for sure farther and wider than even that.
Meanwhile, somebody came up with a bottle of whiskey distilled in 1951.
The Mayo News reported how Mayo senior football manager Andy Moran was presented with a rare bottle of Knappogue Castle 1951 Irish whiskey by Gary McLoughlin, Chief Marketing Officer of Cobblestone Brands, during Mayo’s All-Ireland homecoming celebrations in Westport.
1951, of course, was the last time that Mayo won the All Ireland title.
That would have been a time when many Mayo folk were heading far and wide, to England, to America and Canada, to Australia and New Zealand.
In America, Cleveland, Ohio would have been a primary destination.
After Sunday, Castlebar was for sure one. The town was packed to the edges with jubilant supporters. Some among them would have been alive in 1951.
Forced mass emigration was a curse at that time. So was the curse that supposedly befell Mayo football after that long ago year's win over Meath.
Given the crowds in Castlebar it was evident that one curse has been entirely vanquished while the other has, thankfully, somewhat waned.
