Clifford will be first player since JACK o'Shea to win back to back player of year awards since Jack O'Shea.  Has it in the bag.
Matt Connor, Maurice Fitzgerald  and Peter Canavan 3 best forwards I ever saw. Clifford is above them now and not in his prime yet.

That Off the ball with mcmahon was hard enuf work. Joe doesn't have too much love for Derry by the sounds of it, dressing it up as earnest criticism but sounds bitter, wasn't very nice about Glass and especially McGuigan.

What did McMahon say?

Cluxton , the first player over 40 to win an All Ireland medal ?

Cluxton won't be winning any medals.

Out of pure genuine interest what's dislikable about Sean O'Shea? I don't know him at all but seems like the quintessential dedicated, hard working, team first kind of footballer

Watch the amount of sneaky hits and closed fist tackles he does. That will change your mind

He is overall a clean footballer...

🤣🤣🤣

Agree O'Shea and Paudie Clifford get away with lot of dirty hits. Marty or Canning never  call as too much drooling over kerry.

Fancy Dublin to win this one, however, how Dublin stop Clifford is going to be massive as he could win the game on his own. 

I don't think the Kerry forward line is great Moynihan and Spillane aren't massive scoring threats and Geaney is the shadow of himself. Gannon/Murchan are excellent defenders and I believe can get the better of P Clifford.  Small will probably pick up O'Shea who to be fair had a big second half against Derry and caused Small bother in last years semi.  Will be interesting if O'Shea plays right in with Clifford to try an exploit the Dublin full back line.   

Dublin for me also have the advantage in midfield and on kickouts with Cluxton there and Fenton and the ageless McCarthy.  Barry has a decent record against Fenton though so will be no inferiority complex.  Also think Dublin bench will bring more to the party than Kerry and have a wider spread of scores.  Should be a good open contest.

Geaney and Moynihan always play well against the Dubs.  Geaney excellent bet for anytime goalscorer.  Spillane will be upgrade on bench for Tony Brosnan.

Gough will be busy Sunday with two cynical teams.  Gough very generous to Kerry since missed the Kevin McMenamin shoulder on Peter Crowley in 2016.

Has there ever been so few posts about an AI Final?
I thought this being "the Final that everyone wanted(sic)".....we'd be 20 pages in by now

It be as one sided as last Sunday when Kerry forwards click. Dubs haven't been tested. The Kerry and Derry game was all Ireland to me as kerry won't be as poor in final.

Clifford  could put up a big Tally Sunday as dubs fullback line is very loose. Wouldn't be surprised to see him score 2-6.

What a team. Began to feel sorry for kk at the end.

Wouldn't feel supporters.  An arrogant bunch.

I find it very puzzling that Diarmaid Byrnes wasn't nominated for man of the match.

Agree with this.  Won a lot of ball and scored some pressure frees when Limerick struggling.

Diallo deserves a chance. Is Greenwood been loaned out? I see he listed on Man Utd squad on their website.

On the latest episode of BBC Radio Manchester's The Devils' Advocate podcast, Two Door Cinema Club's Kevin Baird thinks Marcus Rashford should be Manchester United's next captain: "He's the best player, he's from Manchester and he'll be there forever, hopefully. I think we should groom him to be the next captain of the club.

"I love that he is able to balance being an incredible footballer with being a good human being. That is exactly what we should want from our captain. In the modern world, we want our players to have opinions and stand up for what's right."

Whats the thoughts on this from the United supporters?  Bruno probably the favourite but some of his behaviours may not be befitting of a captain.  Some rattlies threw out if doesn't get it I would imagine. 

Varane possibly an option but won't be around for that long given age profile.  Martinez wouldn't be a bad shout either.  ETH seems to be bringing better characters into the squad, last 3 captains Maguire, Young and Valencia which probably tells you where they are since fergie left.

Casemiro or Varane for captain Fernandes and Rashford no leaders whe  going gets tough.
