PressRun

Was there any communication between goalkeeper and backs there?

Wasn't his fault in my opinion.The defender waited for the ball to come to him rather than going to the ball.

Was the backs fault for standing waiting for the ball

Yea, in the replay you can see the defender just stop, almost expecting the ball to go beyond him and his marker.

Not too much wrong with the Dublin full back line, they have handled the predictable aerial bombardment directed at Donaghy very well.McManamon Kerry's arch nemesis has popped up for his usual quota of scores.

GAAman

Donaghy finally gets a bleedin card!

Bret Hart

Lowndes delighted for him,always great too see a local lad getting in on the act.

PressRun

This is turning into a bad beating.

munster87

Bit of a joke of a game since the red

A proper Thrashing in the end. Looking good for another Dublin All Ireland.

STB.

Sheehan graceful in defeat.

Fr Tod Umptious

When Dublin open the flood gates they know how to open them.

11 points is a hammering in any mans book

seligehgit

Wow an eleven point game!Just emphasises how hard it going to be to dethrone Dublin this year.They won at a canter in the end pulling up.

Flynn busy trash talking a few times over the last few minutes of the game, including after the game. Never noticed him at UT before, but it's still bad form.

Nice to see Ciaran Kilkenny ag caint cupla focal as gaeilge.

Torricelli

Classy stuff from Paul Flynn.

Is it any wonder they're hated by all outside the pale.

Kerry went out with a game plan in mind today Cowley and Donaghy checking men badly in the fiart half and in Cowleys case going well beyond the norm. Their captain deserved all the slack he took at the end, he led them out with that attitude in all fairness.

I did see flynn talking all right but only to Sheehan.

And also to be honest I've seen the two of them at it in the past .

Goading Bryan Sheehan after the game. He was at it in the last few minutes of the game as well. Laughing in the Kerry players' faces.

Uncle Mclovin

Dublin the much better team today with or without the red card. They'll be difficult to beat come championship.

Only positive for Kerry is that we have O'Donoghue Maher and Geaney to come back.

Thought Paul Murphy played very well today. A really talented guy.

Really disappointed with O'Mahony. The camera didn't replay it but I can imagine what he did. He always seeks confrontation.

Must be a history there. Flynn for a lad who works hard was poor again today overall imo, until he was handed a goal

Very over rated player. Kilkenny and Connolly carry that half forward line.

Pdoghue

They just showed the OMahoney incident on TG4 from a different angle. Not surprising at all.

Yeah, I've always been surprised by the praise he gets. He's a hard worker though, similar to Donncha Walsh for Kerry

PressRun

The supporters booing the opposition during Cluxton's speech didn't cover themselves in glory.

It looked fairly poor form from Flynn at the end, but I think the way Kerry went about this match was all wrong, imo.

seligehgit

Pretty surprised if Paul Flynn was trash talking,he is not that sort of player.I'm sure they were both at it,tensions can run a bit high.Not the easiest when you've lost a game by a large margin but one should always be magnanimous in victory and graceful in defeat irrespective of how much it hurts in the immediate aftermath.

Sure Dublin were clear by 11 at that stage. I'm sure he was telling him the score alright. No need to behave like that though.
