    I'm not a GAA fan but I loved the match today and was on the edge of my seat (and scared my poor mother when my father and I roared at the end!).

    But Kerry can hold its head high because to create an epic match like that takes two epic teams. Kerry is surely bored winning it by now :)


    Congrats to Dublin, such incredible heart. Its a joy to see it in any sport!!
    Couldnt have been a closer, better game.

    DeV.

    Yeah, Donaghy wasn't the hard man when it really counted for his team.

    what, like when he kicked a super point to level the game at the end? he had a good game today, calling him a tramp and saying he should have got a red card is ridiculous.

    [QUOTE=wow sierra;74474274As regards people in 31 counties wanting Dublin to win - I reckon most people around the country want anyone other than Dublin or Kerry to win. When they are playing each other its a tough choice.

    Now that they have won I am delighted for Dublin - it will give people in the capital a great lift.[/QUOTE]



    Not derailing the thread but the is no way 30 :) counties want Dublin to win, you only have to go by a lot of the earlier posts here to see that.

    I retracted my comment about him deserving a red card. Read the thread. Stand by him being a definite doubt in terms of lack of character and his ability to play within the spirit of the game mind you. Great point at the end. Pity for you he didn't properly step up during the rest of the game.

    Hard to call. I'd go for MD McCauley for a tremendous shift in attack and defence.

    Just saw the Brennan incident again and i still can't see why he was carded. McCauley did the fouling and O' Sullivan fell into Brennan.

    I think MD Mc c looks awfuL awkward though............and very slow at times... rekon Cluxton will get it............he looked very uncomfortable at the hotel when camera on him..

    why is that? I'm not from Kerry? he had a good game, and played well. could have had a goal in the first half when he went in full forward, and probably should have taken on a goal in the second half. just because you call him a tramp doesnt mean he played bad.

    Cluxton was my Man of the Match today.

    But I'm just wondering, given his shy nature, if he does get the award on the Sunday Game later, will he be called upon to say a few words?

    I wouldn't seem right to throw him into a situation he's not comfortable with, but I still think he deserves the accolade.

    fair play to dublin, thought it was going kerrys way after 60 minutes so when you consider dublins previous form in big games this is a huge result.showed a bit of guts that i didnt think they had

    Take a read of that. You cannot abuse a GAA player or official on this board. I'll forgo the infraction if you edit your post.

    sunday game just lashed the ref out of it, alot of poor calls for crucial scores against kerry. i dont think anybody can say he had a good game and didnt dictate the result.

    sad that the game was decided by one man.

    ah right I thought he left before it, did he lift the cup? i thought the kerry team left straight after the speech but before lifting the cup. wonder why he left early still

    Cluxton left the pitch almost immediately, when the camera went long range to look at cullen on the podium, you can see cluxton turning the corner in the tunnel, he then comes back out during the speech with no jersey, then goes back down with the kerry team.

    Cluxton is probably really shy, that doesn't mean he's odd.

    Maybe the ref had a poor game but he didn't affect the result of the game IMO. He made mistakes on both sides,50/50 IMO. I thought the ref was no worse than any other refs this year.

    completley over the top reaction. the ref was poor I thought, and I also thought he gave Dublin soft frees. but to completley blame him for Kerry losing? no way.

    Why not talk about the missed chances? the mis placed passes that cost at least a goal and 3. the terrible play by O sullivan in the whole of the Dublin goal. the ineffectiveness of O Leary, Walsh, and others. the constant handpassing across the middle third and aimless kicking in.

    The game was there for Kerry, but they played poorly, and only have themselves to blame. yeah, the ref was poor, and got decisions wrong. but would no way agree that he was the reason Kerry lost.

    McQuillan has had many poor games this term. We knew that from the Tyrone game.

    I dont think it is fair to say that he dictated the result. If Kerry were as good as their overwhelming favourites tag suggested, they should have blown Dublin out the gate.

    Focusing on the ref is bitter. Remember, Kerry have had one or two good turns done for them in finals in the past.

    ah, thats when I saw him with his Dei&le top on...

    I think it is a bit strange not to stay and take in the atmosphere with your teammates.. still hope he gets MOTM
