Donegal v Kerry - 2025 All-Ireland Football Final

[tyroneStatto]

Was today the last throw of the dice for Donegal? Murphy soon to be 36, hard to see how he will be back. If McGuinness goes as well they could end up in a worse position than when he came in last season. But if he stays then going forward he would have to completely overhaul his tactics.

[gallsman]

Kerry best team this year, one thing rarely mentioned is their size and power. Completely overran Armagh, Tyrone and now Donegal.

They've got really solid, above average performances from the likes of Mark O'Shea but Joe O'Connor's influence has been transformative.

Clifford will win POTY, but take O'Connor and his power out and Kerry don't win it this.

And they lost and never got Barry Dan back either.

[gallsman]

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?

In the Tyrone v Kerry rivalry yes actually.

Embarrassing.

Yeah sure it is.

Massively so. Kerry people don't give a f**k about you. It's not 2008.

2021

Lmao, you think Kerry people are still thinking or talking about '21? Since when they've tanked you twice.

They both stay another year, but I wouldn't expect to see Murphy to the 1st Rd in Ulster and only as a 2nd half sub. Fitness is gone as it does most at that age.Unless Donegal change to man to man marking, bring in a few bigger lads in Defence, and find a few big forwards I wouldn't expect to see them bck in a semi, foreby a final.

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

Those are the returns for weaker counties.

What's Galway's recent record. 0/2

[downgael2065]

I agree mcguinness has to embrace the rules more in terms of 2 pointers and be more willing to adjust tactically. Hes a great coach amd motivator but he never seems to stray from the zonal defense at all.

I dont think murphy will be return but definitely could be useful as an impact sub next year. He definitely exceeded expectations this year and very high level performance at 35 but its unforgiving in the later stages of all Ireland. It was clever by kerry to target his marker for the short kick outs.

I don't think it's likely but its not impossible that murphy and mcguiness step away.

[Wildweasel74]

Still that lad Okunbor to come bck do.

O'Connor was superb. Will be up there for FOTY

[gallsman]

Yes, as an Antrim man, absolutely what you've done is "trigger" me.

Rather we're all just laughing at you.

The worst part is Tyrone have, all things considered, had a solid year and can be genuinely excited about the future with 2xU20s, 2xHogans and a minor in the bag the last couple of years. What they should not be doing is attempting to big up any sort of rivalry with Kerry that, right now, simply doesn't exist.

[laoislad]

How can we make this about Tyrone 
Always the same around here.

[tyrone08]

Lads and ladies. Stop talking abour tyrone and kerry.

Where did kerry win it. Where did donegal lose it. Thats the talking points.

[Wildweasel74]

Yeah another 3 Kerry All-Irelands over the nxt 5yrs.

Can't you read? At full time in the Armagh game apparently.

[screenexile]

If McGuinness is such a spoofer, as many on here would have you believe, then what does that say for the managers of the other 30 Counties that didn't make the AIF?!
