Controversial anti-Mayo sign in Kerry taken down after huge backlash

Not a good look....

They have the finest team in the country on paper, and are beginning to play like it, as well as championship-winning pedigree, which the Green and Red simply do not.

However, Brand Geeks agency in Killorglin went overboard with their build-up celebrations, as they erected what was a fairly tasteless sign.

It features a picture of Kerry boss Jack O'Connor in a bridal gown, with the caption 'Jack, Best of luck on your big day'.

Beside him is Mayo manager Andy Moran in a bridesmaid dress, with the caption, 'Andy.... Always the bridesmaid'.

Plenty of fans were not pleased, with one commenting: "That's fairly pathetic is true...Mayo have consistently been a top 3/4 county the last 40 years. We're (Kerry) better than that...it's not funny."

Another wrote: "Setting us up for the fall, anytime we get too cocky we get our asses handed to us, remember '82? Five in a row song, the five in a row drinking glasses, the rest of the country will be cheering on Mayo and will be delighted if we go home with our tail between our legs."

Former Kerry captain, Dara Ó Cinnéide, also chimed in, writing: "Not in our name. Not Kerry."

The sign was taken down a mere 24 hours later, or possibly before.

Not in our name. Not Kerry.
