Donegal v Kerry - 2025 All-Ireland Football Final

[DaleCooper]

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.

Media driven, donegal fan nostalgia, resurgent Ulster narrative

Jack fair showed them this year

Armagh, Tyrone, Donegal. A clean sweep.

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

Do people actually give a f**k or think this means something?

[Saffrongael]

Kerry the best team this year, by a distance

[Dun Eile]

Kerry used to shat the bed playing ulster in noughties.  How the wheals have turned.

Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal all sat down and Kerry didn't even have come out of first gear.

Bar Meath game, Cork in Munster were only team to give Kerry a game.

Another handy All Ireland for Kerry.

[Armagh18]

Apparently  a breeze there.why O'Shea not take it

Would have thought he scores that in his sleep tbh.

[J70]

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

What kind of kneejerk nonsense is this?

He took a squad on its knees to two Ulster titles and an AI final appearance.

He's won five Ulster titles in six attempts, three AI final appearances in the same six attempts with one win.

How many other managers have a similar rate of return, especially with one of the lesser counties like Donegal?

He's single handedly responsible for almost half of the senior trophies we've ever won.

[An Watcher]

One win out of three in AI finals is a poor enough return

[DaleCooper]

Kerry beat Armagh by 8
Tyrone by 6
Donegal by 10


Should be some good Tyrone Kerry tussles in years to come. Closest team to Kerry the year!

In the Tyrone v Kerry rivalry yes actually.

Embarrassing.

It always comes back round to Tyrone

Perfect from Kerry. Didn't allow Donegal to play their own game and had the nous not to get sucked into areas where Donegal could counter. Had the hunger and quality to hurt Donegal badly. Very one sided.

[Armagh18]

Kerry absolutely unbelievable. Thought Donegal would have gotten more of a foothold in midfield than Armagh did, but Kerry seemed to have twice the men around every break ball. Will be very hard stopped next year again. Donegal looked clueless in attack, afraid to go for 2 pointers and some of the balls they tried into Murphy were woeful.

[DaleCooper]

The narrative will be "Donegal failed to fire" rather than Kerry counteracted their game plan. Jack O as usual doesn't get the plaudits.

Had a feeling hed be a huge part of motivation for the Kerry lads. Do it for Jacko

Those are the returns for weaker counties.

Is there such a thing?

Rivalry only in Tyrone heads, Kerry only see Dublin as their rival.
