His brother is better than him.

Kerry need to beat Meath before I can't take them seriously as champions.  ;D
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Kerry played with some serious spite & motivation, hard to do that year on year tho.

Jayus, don't get DunneRoyal going again :) Youse can be thankful you weren't up against that Kerry team today.

Sure Look it, We have to take something out of it.

Honestly didn't think Kerry had it in them looking at them earlier in the year.

QuoteSounded like Jarlath was retiring Michael Murphy in his speech.
Nah, the FRC are sure to  draw up more rules that he can  get away with next year

Playing poorly but thought a poor call given he at least is a goal threat.

Jack O Connor confirmed on Rte radio 1 he is to step down as manager. Going out on a high.

Give him a few years and he'll be back again.

Kerry tested all way through championship, DnG had it relatively easy to make the final.

Made all the difference in the end.

Very disappointing final.

Both semi-finals were very poor.

Donegal were very poor today. I thought they'd have been better. To not man mark Paudie Clifford is very basic by Mc Guinness I think. They let him have freedom of the pitch.

Donegal lacked energy from the start - looked jaded I thought. 11 games in championship this year. Maybe 1 game too many?

In fairness, getting beat by Mesth was the best thing to happen to Kerry. It i.e. the internal grief they got in Kerry, set the focus for the rest of the year.

Well deserved league and championship winners in 2025.

Where does McGuinness go from here now that his aura is well and truly smashed?

1986 Final aside that is the first time Kerry have went to win it after beating Tyrone.

Kerry magnificent. Donegal were shown up badly. Beat all over the pitch. Seriously overrated team. Inability to take 2 pointers.
Where did.all the hype come from
From the very 1st minute Kerry we're on top. As comfortable as all Ireland final as I remember.
