McBrearty potshot with about 5 mins to go must have been their first effort at a 2 pointer. Donegal played this game as if it was under the old rules.

McGuinness not the genius everybody makes out. Kept with zonal marking, didn't pick up P Clifford but Kerry simply better players and alot better team. From what I see there, there's not a All-Ireland in that Donegal team.

I think Paudie will get motm. David quieter second half.

Much better team won. That is some team.

Paudie MOTM for sure but they'll give it to David.

Donegal have pace but they've didn't use it to any effect today!

Does that give O'Connor MOTM now?? It's between him Paudie and David.

Gavin White MOTM for me.

Considering the strength of their bench, McGuinness has got this one badly wrong. O'Donnell and Moore haven't really contributed anything at all and they needed scores.

Talent vs obsessive manager with a system. Talent always wins

O'Connor wasn't in the second half at all until the goal.

Gavin White, Paudie, Joe 0'Connor and David, that should be the potm order.

I'm rarely happy when Kerry win but to be honest, Jimmy's desperate attempts to ruin football, mean I can never sympathise with Donegal when he's involved. Skill and determination trumped tactics. That's a good thing for the game

Joe O'Connor been a better player than Paudie throughout the year

FT Kerry 1-26 Donegal 0-19.  Icing on the Kerry cake was the goal. Biggest winning margin in AI final since 2007?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
