Kerry v Cork All Ireland Final 2009

[stew]

Why does the camera always zoom in on black people? There was a lad in a Cork jersey that got massive airtime earlier and a lady in a Kerry top just now?

That's RTE for you. Not the first time they shown their liberal hues.

Congrats to Kerry, second half was poor but they did the job, proven over course and distance, deserving winners. And they can be thankful to David Kelly too.

Well done kerry.

Cork will feel aggrieved in that they should have had an extra man seconds into the game, this non decision will ensure that from now on players will nail an opposition player early on with the knowledge the ref will not have thew stones to do the right thing and send him off.

Cork were for me the better team overall however they kicked some fierce bad wides.

[ONeill]

Well done Kerry. Class is permanent. Cork froze again. If Cork played Mayo in the final next year, nobody would win.

Again well done Kerry, the best team in an All-Ireland final when Tyrone aren't there!

Not a chance. They could never be the better team when they could barely put the ball between the posts even from 20 yards out. Kerry were far more economical and efficient at the other end.

Fair play to Kerry. Blanket defence taken to new levels altogether.

Good scores too though.

Cork not helped by the ref sucking Cooper's ginger 'nads all day, but they can only blame themselves with the amount of wides they had.

[gerry]

Well done to kerry. Lets hope that the kerry lads on here do not drink to much tonight.

[Hardy]

Superb display by Kerry. The bitching about the referee is ridiculous. What game were yiz watching? Kennelly's collision with Murphy was no more than a mistimed shoulder that Murphy turned into. The hysteria about a "high elbow" by the two RTE muppets was outrageous.

And Id like to put in a word for Sligo - formlines through Kerry put them at second in the oder of merit.

[ExiledGael]

Who was man of the match?

[Minder]

Who was man of the match?

As far as I know they name it tonight at the victory banquet, was Tom O'Sullivan for me.

[Dinny Breen]

Superb display by Kerry. The bitching about the referee is ridiculous. What game were yiz watching?

Hardy I think you're lack of love for the langers is showing through, the game had over 60 frees, 3 incidents involving Kerry players that didn't even merit a yellow card and Kerry were far from superb, they were probably a block-down from losing, Cork choked in my opinion.

[Owenmoresider]

I'm listening to this backstage thing on the RTE player, Marty interviewing Cork lads and still asking them about not getting frees off Duffy - does he want to get a box or something?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Hats off to Kerry, great victory, comhghairdeas.

Cork bottled it again, I don't think that that particular team will ever be able to turn Kerry over in Croke, and they had enough hard earned chances.

Team of the Decade: no-brainer.

[Archie Mitchell]

Well done to Kerry. Team of the decade now. Only seen the 1st half an listened to the 2nd half on the radio. The Cork forwards must have had a bad day at the office.

kerry were far better side bar the first 10 - they had an answer for everything Cork threw at them. Kerry played at 70% and still won- thats the sickener for Cork

[Mickeys beard]

Well Done Kerry-thouroughly deserved, if helped along a little by the ref.    Cork confirmed what I had suspected that they could not replicate a superhuman performance like against Tyrone.  Kenelly's tackle in the first minute should not have been let go by the ref but moreso by Cork.  Shortly after that a Cork player had a chance to drive him out over the line and he withdrew-not as ruthless as against Tyrone.  Standard of football in final was mediocre by both sides, with Cork's wides proving to be the difference.  T Walsh deadly.  Commentry comparing Galvin and O'Leary to the ugly sisters was hilarious.  What happened Brolly's hand?
   
Anyway, we'll lend Sam to them for a year.
