Kerry never on late late after winning AI.

A true great in his day, broke Kerry hearts once or three times. I was going to say my mood has improved this week but it hasnt

36 wins out of 126 years is very poor too come to think of it but we will struggle on..

I stayed to the end yesterday having a chat with a dub next to me high up in the hogan, and even though painful to watch for a losing team it is best when suporters stay off the field, we had it ourselves in 2000 and I have long thought it would becomes the norm. the players really enjoy it, and they have the time to really savour the moment with the panel and management who they have trained with all year.

To Heffo, Hound, Indiana, Canalman and all the other decent Dubs here, congrats on a great win for the capital. Just watched a replay now and we made some basic errors that ye captilised on are deserving winners this year, Dublin have been bangin on the door for a good few years now and it will be good for the GAA in Dublin. 

I hate losing but am not blaming the referee for his performance its wont change the result at this stage, we had the game but could not close it out. Well done to all involved in Dublin GAA

Gooch will be happy if he gets his 5th AI Medal and lifts Mr Maguire today.

Player of the year and All Stars are just vanity awards.

Much the same for Monday's (potential) victory parade to the Mansion House.

Back that bus into the Shed there Anto, we won't be needing it.

Am just home from a skelp (different from Skelping) of pints in the town that passes as our capital.

Craic was had with Denis Moran (8 medals - he of the Ogie name) and a mhac David (he is recovering well thankfully in case you asked) also in the company was a certain Eoin Liston (6.5 medals, he only gets half for rouling out of Tralee Hospital for the team photo versus Roscommon) think he once scored a goal or 3 against Paddy Cullen but its all rumours, and also Mike McCarthy with his 4 medals and someone called Nicholas English, but I never heard of him.

Tommy Walsh of the Aussie Rules fame was also there, glad to be out of Oz in the day thats in it but rumours of his return with a Mr Kennelly next year are just rumours. but no smoke without fire I suppose, but they are not happy with their one medal.  But shsssssss....

Tickets are scarce as a horn on a Puck goat the week before Puck Fair for those in Blue and Darker Blue but there seems to be any amount for those willing to done the green and gold of the culchie variety, but if you want to go they are available. Otherwise talk to Joe on Monday morning.

For those that can't get a ticket for the game there is a Soundwaves Festival on in Skerries (the home town of captain Brian Cullen) all weekend with a Learn to Juggle class timed for 3pm on Sunday in the Old School suitable for ages 10+ (Its 5 euro and cheap at the price), And at the same time a Magic Show also timed for 3pm on Sunday in the Little Theatre also costing 5 euro.

If you can squeeze either or both in and get to a TV by 3.30pm there will be lots of fun to be had. This kind of variety would not happen in Kerry. Kudos to the people of Skerries for organising alternative events for those Leinster Rugby type supporters to enjoy.

f**k you, David Campese, f**k. You.

And Barry Hall and Skippy the Bush Kangaroo too

Paudie O' Shea , never heard of him ?

She's half way out.

She's not scuttled just yet there will be one last kick in them me thinks !!

so call Kerry and Dublin , Tyrone have seen them up up close over the last few years probably better better anyone..

Part of me wishes Kerry had the chance to see off Tyrone's ship into the wilderness

Next year maybe !! 

we dont praise Cork very much here, but one thing they do is give the best GAA coverage in D'Paper otherwise known as The Examiner.

Warning: there are no flashy pictures or big headlines so these may not be suitable for the typical Dublin supporter used to The Sun or The Star
