I think Young was the one Murphy jumped into. He went down, and by the time he got up he was in position to pick up the rebound.

I thought Enright picked up the rebound?! (we'll put this case together yet)

I don't think that's the same incident. I think Killian Young was involved in the last minute one.

not 100% who the defender was, but big MM runs straight threw him. Was a manic passage of play with so many folk in a small area (well, thats what Kinsella will be saying). McFadjin was inches away from being the hero yesterday after a poor season compared to his usual very high standards. 

Was a poor enough game. We're well used to defensive matches these days but score taking has improved greatly over recent years, yesterday it was very poor. Loads of shots wide and there was a lack of pace to the attacks. Both teams were over cautious. Kerry deserved the win though and great credit must go to Fitzmaurice.
On another note, something has to be done about the finances for inter county teams. It's no coincidence that the four semi finalists had far more resources available to them than most of the other counties. Dubl$n obviously had the most but the other three had plenty of cash to spend too.
It's an amateur sport lads, the spending and other stuff going on is getting out of control. We need to cut the legs from underneath it before it's too late.

Donegal have their London sugar daddy while Dublin get a few quid here and there. Havent heard ought of Mayo and Kerry spending crazy money. Whats the word on the street Huggy?

[per day]

What did all the United fans here think of Rooney's "passion" after United conceded the equalizer, especially as he was as culpable of any of the defenders and completely cocked up his clearance?

£42,000 quid per day in wages 

My favourite part of Kerry Puke performance yesterday??

Two Kerry defenders trying to pull Murphy down at the end and he bulled them out of the road! lol

Should have been a free out for barging.

correct, you canny charge through defenders

Scummy cnuts.

probably took a flight straight to Perth to further enhance our glowing rep Down Under

[That leads me to believe we will be right up there next year.]

there is a risk that this years All-Ireland will be re-named the Joe Brolly Cup, in the same way that 2003 was the pat Spillane cup.

So the final yesterday wasn't a "great advert for the game" but where the f**k is the instruction manual which says that "EVERY FINAL MUST BE PLAYED TO A SUPERLATIVE LEVEL OF STYLE AND PANACHE"

I say f**k joe Brolly and his opinion about puke football in the same way i said f**k Pat Spillane and his opinion of Tyrone in 2003.

The All-Ireland is for winning - its not a beauty contest. We were spoiled by the highest standards of the semi finals which preceded yesterday, and it it is completely wrong to be-grudge Kerry as winners or castigate Donegal for losing.

It is what it is.

Zeitgeist. Its the spirit of now...its how football is played today.

Brolly was w**king on last night about "clubs up and down the country will be mimicking this style of football.."
Really?

Crossmaglen will change? as will Ballinderry...and of course Dr Crokes and Castlebar and St Vincents

Will they f**k....in the same way as the semifinals didnt make everyone want to play like Mayo, Dublin etc...

That is the beauty of our code - that there is a dogged determination to win, where the medal and cup means more than any money.

Fair play to Kerry...enjoy it...you deserve it. Commiserations Donegal...roll on 2015.

Club teams don't have to mimic it- they are long doing it.

Kerry crowed long enough about puke football. Brolly is quite right in saying that the irony this morning really is quite something

Kerry popped their cherry and entered the dark side yesterday

There is no going back for them

you Dubs needy put away the crystal balls. Kerry lifted Sam in a championship year that included the unbeatable Dubs. You got it all wrong against Donegal were as Kerry got it spot on. Kerry, best team in the country this year. Plenty of emerging talent with the experience of winning and the Gooch to come back. Could be there or there abouts next year. Have the weaponry and skill set to beat any system by the looks of it. Id say Gavin will have learnt more watching that game than any game Dublin were involved in this year

The best team every year wins the AI I wouldn't dispute otherwise

However there aren't many Kerry players if want up transfer to Dublin at the moment where as the 2001-2009 Kerry teams were full of players you'd want

That leads me to believe we will be right up there next year.

Dublin will of course be right up there next year. Who will be with them though? Do Mayo have the stomach for another rattle? Donegal ditto. Do Kerry have the drive for back to back titles? Cork could win the thing, or implode again. Are Armagh on the verge?

[you can rule out kerry and donegal for next year already]

Congrats to the Kerry men, desperate desperate game, hopefully somebody can bring something different to the table next year..................................you can rule out kerry and donegal for next year already

some amount of boys on here lambasting the Kerry style. If ye's are for lambasting anyone, lambast Donegal who hosted the putrid football party. Kerry played a certain style to win the final...needs must and all that. They won the 2014 all-ireland that featuring the greatest team we've ever seen play football with a squad of fairly young inexperienced players. Hammered the rebels, and along with Mayo produced 2 of the best games seen this year. So good luck to them

Keith Higgins is tremend-juice

Fergal Doc

Was good to see Durcan caught out

Why was it good to see durcan caught out??just in case people thought he was better than cluxton??

Tight one on big Pappa.  Won't ever forget it. Headed straight into the changing room after apparently. Sore one but has been a top operator for many years

Jaysus Martin Carney and that finger!!!

Kerry by 2 in a horrible game of football!

Close...



Farr, Hefo and AZ taking "delight" in a Kerry win. Sort yourselves out lads will ye, sake.

Why? I am delighted for them and their freakishly long arms. It's probably the weight of carrying Sam around all the time 😄

Delight though? Really? I could only reserve the feeling of delight for a big win for my own county (as rare as that is before you say it  )

I'm ambivalent to Kerry's win today..much the same if the Yankees or the Pats win another Super Bowl..

If you make a mistake as big as Durcan did today you are unlikely to win at this stage of the season by the way in my opinion..,

Yes. Delighted "for" them. Delighted for my wife, in laws and friends down there.

Hmmm...maybe I've just a heart of stone...

You must have. It's great to see Declan o sullivan going out a winner too. He deserves that.

No he does not. He's a stinking thug as was shown when he acted the gypo v Derrytresk.

Id say not too many of us wouldn't have reacted having been on the end of such vitriol as O'Sullivan was that day
One of the finest footballers in my lifetime

Whatever of Declan O'Sullivan being a dick or not - you must be taking the piss by saying he is one if the finest footballers in your lifetime.

Absolutely not

I hate this hateful shite where the only thing people can think of to talk about in the aftermath of the game is the negative, who made faces at who else and their estimation of the character of people they don't know or have never even met. Talk about the football. All the people on the field today are decent people as far as I know and I'd want pretty convincing evidence before I'd start calling them names in public.

fair play...

This is true. We all know plenty of decent blokes who turned into looney bins the minute they crossed the white line.
