    It's hard to see who will stop themthough, Dublin are completely in transition, as are mayo. Galway wilted badly today. They'll surely win four or five more during this decade.

    Even had the keeper thinking he was Manuel Neuer :D

    They're are getting a bit golden Cleric award like.

    Don't think there was much more in Galway than they produced. Kerry looked reasonably comfortable for most of the game, poor shooting allied with almost everything Galway kicked going over kept them in the game for almost an hour, but really once Kerry got going there was only winner. Galway needed a goal, but never created any chances. Apart from Comer, all their players showed up nearly 100%.

    This is a monkey off the Kerry backs, they could go on a run now unfortunately.

    Clifford got 3 points from marks and two from frees, one that should have been a free out. The talent that boy has , he could have had those with two wooden legs.

    In open play (I think he got two points) he was unimpressive.

    Fitness wise Kerry looked like they could play on for another 20 at the end.

    Galway looked out on their feet, done around the 60 minute mark.

    Hard luck Galway, the better team won, don't think there can be too many complaints. Thought McDaid was outstanding, Walsh too, finally did something in CP but Clifford was immense, as good a footballer as there's ever been

    It’s amazing that it’s come full circle that his dad was a selector against Galway and his last game on the Sunday game is Kerry vs Galway.

    Great final, massive entertainment, some serious scores



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,879 ✭✭✭4Ad


    Jeepers I'd hate to have you as my team manager..You'd have very high standards !!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭Gael85


    Better team won. Galway ran out of legs and lack of bench killed them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,947 ✭✭✭MayoAreMagic


    You have to give it to kerry. No panic when it wasnt going their way. They powered on as the finish line came into focus whereas Galway started to kick wides make mistakes.

    Walsh is a great player. We have seen him do that in connacht - far more dangerous than comer to my mind. It was good to see him do it in a bigger stage. No doubt some people will give out about him for missing that last kick when they were still close, but that is nonsense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Lucy8080


    I was shouting for Galway (the underdog) but delighted for Pat signing off on a Kerry All Ireland victory. Best wishes Pat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Lucy8080


    Right,you! 50 push ups for that comment.! Now!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 258 ✭✭1wizards sleeve


    Great day . Galway finished after 55min legs were gone, Kerry won after a hard game but pulling away.

    O'Connor winning the League and All Ireland in the first year of his reign three times is a great stat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭Gael85


    Think kerry will dominate for next 4/5 years. Dublin are in transition. Can't see Galway or Mayo or Ulster getting near them . kerry will only get better and Jack will want to win back to back AI at senior level.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,037 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    Kerry will definately be there or thereabouts over the next few years. Like they are every year just about. They'll probably win another All Ire. Maybe a couple. Who knows for sure though? An injury to David Clifford and they become an ordinary enough team. Only time will tell.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 601 ✭✭✭WJL


    Very well summed up.

    That goalie gave away 2 points when he could have shepherded the Kerry player.

    Interesting to see where Galway go from here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Would love to know if Comer was carrying some injury, could possibly have been after the semi. If he was fully fit, then I think Joyce got his game plan very wrong. Don't think he threatened Kerry once.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Lucy8080


    It may be that Kerry just needed any kind of sloppy win to get their first under their belt. The do have talent on that team. But ,jeez, an All Ireland medal in the back pocket takes away a lot of nervous tension in the seasons ahead. They are the team to beat in the next few years.

    "Looked comfortable" with their "poor shooting" ?

    Galway did definitely need a goal and the team with the better skill does usually come good in the final 10 because they put less work into the other 60 to stay level. We saw this all championship with the Limerick hurlers too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,905 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Only seemed to come to life in the last 10 minutes

    16 points won’t win too many finals

    Only 2 of their forwards scored and one of them is a converted half back.

    Turns out they don’t have the forwards 

    Shane walsh was sensational today to be fair . But all the rest didn’t turn up including comer

    Fair play to Kerry. They kept playing football and found a way in the end . They are entirely reliant on Clifford though. Next year is wide open
