Colm and Joe talking some proper sense here. Finally.

Whelan looking nervous as fúck.

Joe Brolly is the definition of toe curling TV. Simply awful.

There is very little love lost between the panelist. No chemistry between them and undercuts in the limited banter.

Whelan made fair points also. They've always had a much greater population. Nobody gave a shite about it when Kerry were coasting to Sam etc. Now, the Dubs put the work in to better themselves, it's unfair - they need split.

Whelan made zero fair points. So because something was unfair it should remain unfair? Nonsense. He also tried to downplay playing nearly ever game at home being an advantage for the same reason.

Colm was cute or soft enough not to mention the money being a big reason why the population and other advantages are starting to tell so severely now.. a lot easier to make great structures when you're flush with cash, a lot harder to do it with volunteers.

Don't forget the money issue.

Very strange the the financial doping was not discussed .

No mention of financial Doping alright. It's as if the Sunday Game Panellists are afraid to mention it or there is a censorship clause with RTE!

O'Rourke trying not to sound bad has came up with the more Players in Dublin need to play inter-county line!

Home venue was shot down by Whelan when mentioned by McStay.

I noticed my to fellow Kerrymen said very little. There was a few looks and glances.

They know the score that if they mention the advantages they'll look like sore losers. In fact anyone who mentions advantages of Dublin look like sore losers.

Brolly physically looks as if he is struggling with his one kidney. And he needs a hairbrush!

Isn't Joe mad into his cycling? Think he keeps pretty fit

To who? Dublin? the other 31 counties wouldn't be looking at them as sore losers.

But do you not realise it's Dublin that matters (and nobody else). Croke Park is their home Pitch. The majority of the National media is in Dublin. Multinational, National and semi-state companies and organisations are lining up to be associated with Dublin. Any movement to say anything against the saviour of football will be met with hostility!

It's the one battle Dublin are out-numbered on, though. The rest of the CBs really need to band together and make the sport better for everyone because it's fully within their power to reign Dublin in if they find the balls to oppose the financial doping.

Sure they are the worst deniers of the lot! They'll get thrown their 20 pieces of silver and crawl back to their corner happy!

31 v 1 at Central Council and Congress can effect any changes they've a will to for the good of the biggest sport in Ireland.
Shame on the 31 if they don't.

Nice of RTE to miss the teams coming out onto the field due to their yapping and then to talk over the trophy presentation too.

Maybe it was the above, the short captains speech, or that Dublin won yet again, but the whole presentation/celebration smelled of a Junior B county final win, and not the biggest day in Irish sport.
Was at the game & fair play to Dublin they're a great team to come through in so many tight finals. But the speech from Cluxton was depressing - the most soulless, passionless, uninspiring words from an AI winning captain. He looked like he was reading it off a sheet & wouldn't have looked out of place at a funeral
