Cluxton again...

Who said kerry were cynical too :D

He should have taken it. Rock doesn't have the temperament for a kick like that

He nailed one from further out against Tyrone to preserve the record earlier in the league.

The one that wasn't even a foul you'll agree? Hard enough playing youse v 15 never mind 16!

Great game/final credit to what is the two best sides in the country. Kerry fully deserved their win but I don't think the margin of victory do them justice. Dublin have sailed close to the wind on a number of occasions this year and were eventually caught today. They probably avoid Kerry now until the All Ireland final and that should give them the time to regroup and get over todays defeat.

54K at it too. Time to stop the moaning about the Dubs and follow Kerry's lead. When played by teams wanting to beat each other there's still no game to match football.

Moran is a force of nature!
In todays "modern" football it was great to see a old fashioned traditional midfielder produce a man of the match performance.

Probably no harm for the Dubs to lose the unbeaten record although they probably would have preferred if it was last week than today. Otherwise it would be mentioned before every single game this Summer. Not to mention it gives them a chip on the shoulder now for the rest of the year. Nothing like seeing another team pick up a trophy in front if you to focus the minds again.

Great game. Now I can go back to the  Resevoir Dubs site again :)

Dublin have had their fill of it from Tyrone, Monaghan, Donegal and Kerry (x2) this spring. Kerry had that bit of class and luck that got them over the line today, I think Dublin are having some bother with their inside line at the minute. Brogan is 33, Andrews is badly out of form and looks too heavy, Mannion is very erratic so it leaves us with an interesting summer ahead.

Going to have to split Kerry if we're to get that complete Dublin domination everyone keeps banging on about.

He was brilliant today.

Agree, he almost rescued the game for them.

How in the world did Jim Gavin and his backroom/stats team of 20 etc keep Flynn on for 60 minutes
He could have been taken off after 20,

Bryan Sheehan on.
Suddenly any free within 70 yards is kickable.

..and Kerry are down to 14 men.

;D

You never disappoint.

The polar opposite of Mayo.

Great game.
Another perfect zero for Syfīn in the prediction stakes.
Told stolen-sheep the Dublin would once more hockey Kerry :-[

He was absolutely brilliant today. That score into the Canal end under serious pressure was something else. Griffin I thought was immense as well, some derv in his tank

yes also thought Griffen was very good today.Took the game to Dublin .
