Maurice Deegan doing his best to create a Dublin-Kerry final.

This is an awful game of frees, way to slow build up from Kerry allowing Tyrone to set. But the bloody free count absolute madness.

It look like croke park will do anything to get a Kerry/Dublin final. Shocking refereeing.

If, at half-time in this game, you had swapped out either team and replaced them with Dublin, what would happen in the second half?

Maurice Deegan has clearly decided he wants Kerry to win today.

Tyrone are knackered now, Kerry cruising now.

The refereeing in this second half has been an utter disgrace. It has decided the result.

Good battle from Tyrone but Kerry showed enough forward quality once they lifted the intensity. Kerry now hoping to come in under the Dublin hype machine and do the unthinkable.

Pathetic - ref threw that one. Not Kerry's fault of course; but entirely expected. Even the RTE lads who were "hoping" for Kerry scores, felt that the lack of a free for the 55th minute Kerry scrum collapsing on McShane, was "weird". Contrast that with Kerry getting a free for diving on 16:34. Wonder will the last black card see a nation-wide witch-hunt and an examination of his "character" same as the abuse heaped on Cavanagh lol

Congrats Kerry. Good win with lot's going against ye, including many decisions. Moran got no protection from the off the ball stuff.

Great comeback in the second half. Hard fought. Tyrone were a tough opponent.

Congrats to Kerry, it's the final many would have wanted and one to really look forward to with relish.

Bad luck to Tyrone, felt the game was there to be won to be honest, left a few goals behind. No disrespect but happy yee are gone, the team I most weary off left in the championship.

Goal was the difference in all honesty. Thought ref didn't do Tyrone any favors and kept Kerry in touch at critical times and helped to swing momentum. Not to take anything away from Kerry.

Tyrone the better team today lost. Too much cynical play from Kerry. They rolled around, wasted time and generally were cynical. Tyrone unlucky. Dubs will not fear Kerry on this performance. Unless of course Maurice Deegan is the ref.

Couple of points. Tyrone just don't have enough stellar quality to see these games out. McShane and Donnelly were excellent but as they tired there wasn't the talent beside them or on the bench to help them and Kerry took full advantage. Secondly and I don't like to give officials a hard time but Maurice Deegan was a big, big factor in keeping Kerry in it. He gave them soft free after soft free and Tyrone must feel very aggrieved tonight at his performance. It's not the first time this season Deegan has had a powerful influence in the outcome of games particularly involving Ulster sides.
