Thought the game was fairly poor outside of a 10/15min spell on the, 2nd half.

Overall, a fair point, and God forbid that it were two Ulster teams serving that fare up! 

[McCarthy and Clifford have both played themselves out of at least POTY.]

Rogers and McGuigan are absolute certainties.

McCloskey and McKinless also more than decent shouts.

Sort the rest out among less worthy options.

Who else was in the running? one of them should still win that award.

Neither, I would say, maybe Fenton, who has showed up when the moment demanded it?

The current management need to bring to the table once again what they originally did, meaning that a fresh approach, fresh thinking, and a fresh approach to player treatment is absolutely necessary.

Watched it on my phone while in London! National anthem blasting along Regent street. Dublin best team in first half Kerry edged the 3rd quarter and Dublins bench proving its worth, Kerry will be back next year and no reason why Dublin won't either, nothing out there able to push these two.

Again simple rule's confusing players ex managers current managers and sofa experts!

We beat that Kerry team in the AISF 2021, and we need to remine that mojo -- then, you can put ourselves in that bracket.

The calls for Clifford's claims for sainthood have suddenly gone very quiet! 

Proper "puke football", as an erstwhile practitioner of same might have opined!

Jaysus, nordie victimhood knows no end, now it's discriminatory that they can't be scammed just like everybody else on the other side of the border   

Ever been to Dublin, and heard how they might refer to Monaghan folk, ie, "dem nordie bastards"? 

Us Monaghan folk can pay the 2 euro and enter the scam and besides we're copacetic nordies, it's the nordies on the other side of the border that have the obsessive complexes, even to the extent of pining to be scammed equally "really bugs me that I can't enter RTE GAA competitions".

Accept it, you're bleedin' nordies, though a partitionist mindset will always draw a partitionist distinction!

Dour non-Ulster shite! 

Gough doing a job.

Basically he said McGuigan wouldn't get near the Dublin team and is too one footed and has no pace. Thought his criticism of Glass was very over the top. Seemed personal.

Ah right, unnecessary.

"We disrespected him by putting our weakest man marker on him and not sweeping in front of him. Of course only human beings can be marked and David Clifford is not one of those, but Dublin will do a better, smarter job."

Brolly's article today.

Clown.

He may be, but he's on the money re Clifford and the Dubs' approach I'd say.

Will be great to not hear as many posters discussing the final considering how boring a game it's going to be.

Some amount of shite talk!!

So long as it's competitive and the game won and lost in the final 10 minutes it shouldn't be boring.  The Hurling final last week was far too predictable and was just a matter of how much Limerick would win by once they moved up the gears and no neutrals will want to witness a repeat of such a boring outcome in All Ireland final for a 2nd weekend in a row.

When a team wins well, what's wrong with that? Sometimes you have to applaud great teams. We sit through enough games with 30 defenders or teams afraid to attack. Watching teams be offensive is never boring, regardless of the score

A competitive contest decided on fine margin is more compelling viewing for neutrals than one team running away with it.

Yep, a contest!

RTÉ = Raidió Teilifís Saorstat Éireann, sin é, alas.

It's probably more of a case of what more is there to be said regarding this particular pairing in the Final -- I'd say the level of anticipation is none the worse for it though.
