Brigids left with a might have been. A decent goalkeeper away from winning that All-Ireland, let me guess he's an outfield player that was put in goal because of no other options for that position?

Glen 11 wides in total for such experienced team and one that played in last years final it was a surprise that their shot selection and decision making was poor.

The goalie didn't look like a natural but his kickouts were decent. Mark Gibbons a former Dublin minor goalie has transferred into Brigids. He might be in goal next year.

Kick outs was very hit and hope. Weak link addressed if that former Dublin minor goalkeeper proves to be an upgrade.

The keeper was badly out of position, but they should've killed the game when the fella went down with cramp. Could've got a least another 30secs out of that and calmed things down. Instead a quick free is lost, and a defender is still lying on his back getting treatment and Glen get the goal.

On Glen's first half misses they must've hit 4/5 identical wides, with the ball trailing off to the left hand side of the post.

Games are won over 60+ minutes

Mistakes happened throughout the game.

Hanging the keeper before looking at the other 14 players decisions/shots tackles and frees over the course of the game is where you should look at

If Brid's were the better team they'd have seen out a 4 point advantage on 58 minutes

Exactly this but people often like to look for scapegoats in defeat. The keeper was fine apart from the positioning for the goal, plenty of other players underperformed far worse on the day but the winners write the script.

A good quality and enjoyable All-Ireland final. That was a serious effort by a mainly young Brigids team playing in their most important game against hot favourites Glen and at the very end a missed free away from bringing the game into extra time

Brigids were 4 points up towards the end of the 1st half also played most of the football yet found themselves level at the break, letting that lead slip probably proved as damaging as the 2nd goal that allowed a below par Glen level it up and then go on to win. In a one point defeat the two quick points directly after each goal proved decisive.

Well done to Glen takes a very good team to come back after disappointment the following year and win it out. Be interesting to see will they have the desire for more after that success today.

11 wides, 1 player i think was responsible for ar least 5 of them and 2falling short, McFaul missed 2 himself when he always score

Brigids were in control and let it slip. As they say "nothing beats being there". It's not a coincidence the last 3 All Ireland Champions have lost a final before they won it!

Brigids will be back I'm sure of it!

Conor Glass probably the best player in the country at the minute, what a performance. Commiserations to the Rossies, would love to see them back at this stage next year again and go one better.

2 excellent teams.

That's tara David Clifford has retired at 24.

Hard to compare 2 positions but I'd have Glass up there. Clifford has his off days as well but Glass always seems to step up in the big moments.

Glass stood up and was counted throughout the game, especially in the first half. Great man for getting a hand in into dispossess.

Don't know why Brigid's kept kicking ball in his direction near the end as he was lording it.  Safest thing was to keep it away from him.

Glen were lucky but kept hanging in there without playing well and that's what it's all about. Stay in the game. A lot of pot shots which you wouldn't expect from them or a MOR team but maybe just showed how rattled they were. But, as I say, they hung in there.

Tough luck on St. Brigid's as they played really well. Young team who'll learn from the experience.

Going by the past few years, their name is on the Andy Merrigan in 2025!

Would like to see them do it as a neutral. 13 for them was unreal today, really enjoyed watching them as a team.
