Kildare winning the Newbridge or nowhere campaign. Not the result of said match however.
Underdogs winning
Carlow v Kildare
Longford v Meath
Fermanagh v Monaghan
Waterford v Wexford
Kildare v Mayo
The good games
New York v Leitrim
Kildare v Galway
Roscommon v Armagh
Monaghan v Kerry
Donegal v Tyrone
Monaghan v Tyrone
Kildare v Mayo
Laois v Wexford
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 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.

This for me also.
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.
Kildare getting to host Mayo in Newbridge.

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

David Clifford's 4-14 in his 3 super 8 games from just 23 scoring chances.
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.
Black card.
It's have GONE

Our comeback against Clare. Despite the result our game against Roscommon. Clifford. All the crying after Dublin won another AI
The waterfall in the Gibson hotel the night of the AI.
Yous are watching too much of the Sunday Game ::)
For me:
Tyrone v Monaghan in Omagh - sensational game (the second game was also great)
Donnellys goal Fermanagh v Monaghan
Monaghan in general
Carlows joy
Atmosphere before Ulster final in Clones
First 20 min of All Ireland final
Jack McCaffreys recovery - better than ever
