Donegal v Kerry - 2025 All-Ireland Football Final

[Quarterbackk]

Mc Cole is not the man for clifford. He is so overhyped this year

[imtommygunn]

That boy is good.

Think the new rules great for Kerry too.

Paudie Clifford what a man. All the big players showing up for Kerry. 2 Cliffords, Joe O'Connor, Gavin White. Dylan Geaney chipping in. Just need to be better defensively

[Blowitupref]

Half time Kerry 0-17 Donegal 0-10.  David Clifford two pointer to finish out the half after a long possession piece.

Donegal will need Kerry to collapse like Cork Hurlers 2nd half.

McCole actually good full bck, seem him plenty of times. Time to just accept how good Clifford is.

[OakLeaf]

O Baoíl hasn't added much since he came on. Too slow on it when they really need to push it and then that terrible attempt to drop it on top of Murphy.

His confidence levels are very low compared to last season.

[Wildweasel74]

Murphy got 2pts but looks his age out there! Gallen and C O'Donnell playing rightly for Donegal.

Half time Kerry 0-17 Donegal 0-10.  David Clifford two pointer to finish out the half after a long possession piece.

Donegal will need Kerry to collapse like Cork Hurlers 2nd half.

Definitely going to need at least a couple of goals now, in the second half. Not looking likely.

This supposed "Clifford v Murphy" narrative that the media have been building up for this final hasn't exactly lived up to the bill has it... Always found it a bit odd seeing as Murphy hasn't even been Donegal's best player this year.

Clifford hard to handle when he gets on the ball, as you'd expect. Don't know why Donegal were so content with letting Kerry have the ball in space with a shooting opportunity on the hooter, when Clifford was roaming around there. Donegal might have been happy enough with a 5 pt gap at the break considering how it looked early, but that's just given Kerry an extra boost now. All to do in the 2nd now

[tbrick18]

Kerry very strong, 7 points at least the better side that first half.
Murphy has been poor for donegal after all the hype, gave the ball away twice and hit the post from an easy free....Clifford scores 7.

Some bright shoots for donegal then a monster 2 pointer to put 7 in it again.

That pitch is hard to look at

Kerry are flourishing under the new rules. Started like a house on fire and bossing midfield. Joe O'Connor has been colossal. Clifford is something special, he's having a field day, just too easy for him.

Donegal need something magic to happen in the second half

[gallsman]

Decision to start McGonagle will be looked at if Donegal lose. Clipped an early point and not sure he's been mentioned since.

[bennydorano]

Very hard to see Donegal overcome this, they have improvements in them surely but Kerry look to be cruising, there's more in the tank there for Kerry too.

I certainly gave Ciaran Moore & Langan the kiss of death, both brutal! Only Gallen and O'Donnell have played to the standard required imo.

The man to mark him hasn't been born lol. It's damage limitation with Clifford and these rules. McCole is a very good defender.

[EoinW]

Take the second half off.  There will be no collapse.  How can Kerry collapse when you can't defence them with the new rules?

Five years from now we'll be wondering how many championships the Kerry dynasty would have won under the old rules.
