Donegal v Kerry - 2025 All-Ireland Football Final

[tyroneStatto]

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.

No there's not. Tyrone over the next few years probably the only team that will get close to Kerry.

Congratulations to Kerry, felt like a team with a real seige mentality/grievance beat a team trying to fabricate one all year.

[J70]

Congratulations to Kerry. Far and away the better team on the day. Paudie Clifford and Gavin White just brilliant. David Clifford on the periphery (by design?) but absolutely killed us when he did get on the ball.

Poor performance for the most part from our men and they'll have a lot of regrets, but nothing but gratitude from this supporter for a great year.

[jb77]

David most certainly taking offence to Jim's comments haha

[grounded]

Thats a sickener for Donegal. Kerry had the measure of them from the start.

[gallsman]

Talent vs obsessive manager with a system. Talent always wins

That's simply not true at all. Kerry have their own terrific coaching setup.

[Schkite]

Late goal makes the scoreline look a bit more reflective of the game, Kerry way better and played it in 2nd gear for that 2nd half

Seen some talk in the build up of McGuiness potentially having something up his sleeve for this matchup, something he's been holding in reserve all year. Well that's just proven to be completely false. Did the same thing they've been doing all year, even when it wasn't working for them and they needed to try something different. Donegal are just so tied to this way of playing that they seem incapable of changing things up when they need to

[OakLeaf]

Disappointing final. Donegal never really laid a glove on Kerry. That said, Kerry were excellent in the first half, and were in cruise control in the second. They've set the bar high for 2026.

What was the story taking off Oisin Gallen, was he injured? Huge mistake.

[DaleCooper]

Have my money where my mouth is from Semi final winnings [donegal -3] [kerry-4].

Kerry -2 for Sam

Reasons : kerry are possessed this year. Their defence is underrated.

Despite some injuries they have some depth.

Really rate Dylan Geaney over Paul tbh despite him being raw.

Patton is vulnerable. Gallens form not great but semi will help him.

Kerry much more experienced side. Expect a less heralded player to produce a big display.

Shall wait and see what the Guru comes up with, kerry will take some beating.

Expected 4 point but this is some statement.
McGuinness just ignored the two pointers. Jack embraced them. Kerrys defence put in a serious shift.

Quality team hammer Donegal. Shin é

Here comes the Jarlath show

[Estimator]

Sounded like Jarlath was retiring Michael Murphy in his speech.

[Quarterbackk]

Paudi clifford 76 posessions.Did Jim and the boys not watch what conor meyler did in 21. 

[Wildweasel74]

They going to be stronger nxt yr. all the injuries has allowed them to blood new players. Don't want hear anymore arguments about D Clifford and who's better than him.

[gallsman]

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

Yes, but for some reason, the MOTM award isn't supposed to take into account how you played in a league game in early March.
