The final whistle at the all-ireland happy that the least enjoyable season possibly ever was over followed by a hope that they do something to fix football before it's too late.
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

I genuinely cannot think of anything. Even some of the underdogs winning, which would normally be something to remember, was absolute crap football. Suppose Roscommon v Armagh was an enjoyable enough game.

Dublin winning the All-Ireland, warmed the hearts of even the most cynical.

Andrew Murnin's points v Roscommon. A joy to witness.

Armagh comeback v Clare.

Fermanagh fans on pitch celebrating v Monaghan.

After that, nothing. Such a bland, boring season.

David Clifford's 4-14 in his 3 super 8 games from just 23 scoring chances.

The Hill is Blue

As a lifelong fan of Gaelic football I have seen and admired some great footballing dynasties each of whom at their peak looked as if they could go on forever. The first "unbeatable" team that I remember was three-in-a-row Galway of the mid-1960s. They were the epitome of class, and although Dublin fell victim to them a few times during those years I always admired their style and polished skills. The great Kerry team of the late 70s and 80s broke my heart many times as did the men of Meath in the late 80s and 90s. And then of course Kerry and Tyrone grabbed the initiative in the early 2000s. (God we were even beaten by Kildare then  ;))

Anyway, it's now our turn to be classed as unbeatable and I'm really enjoying it. So I've no hesitation in saying that my highlight of the championship was All Ireland Final day 2018.

I think that's fair enough comment. The dubs supporters have went from supporting whelos whelps to Kilkenny clinkers in a few short years. Let them enjoy their craic. Fcuk the begrudgers they are truly a great team. I have my doubts that even the great Kerry team could have beaten them.
