Great to get back into the game before halftime. Half our team are old lads. The juggernaut will probably have the legs on them in the second half. Ciarraí abú! :) legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7755 - 28/08/2016 17:18:31 1906962 Link 0 |

The only gripe with your post is "it was a good contest" it was a great contest Kerry were fantatsic in phases they have young great players and maybe the older ones that need to be replaced. But a great game none the less hard luck to kerry they gave it everything. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4892 - 28/08/2016 17:36:19 1906979 Link 1 |

I think, on balance, the better team won. They didn't play as well as they can, and talk of their having no weaknesses should be parked for a while... but... they did enough when they had to. plike (Kerry) - Posts: 569 - 28/08/2016 18:31:57 1907033 Link 1 |
Great game, really happy with the way Dublin dealt with the two f**k ups. Hard luck to Kerry who were excellent today. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 28/08/2016 18:32:35 1907036 Link 2 |

Delighted with that result. It'll stand to us in 3 weeks time. Did get a bit nervy but the one thing our lads have is fight. Showed it last year when we went behind against Mayo and showed it again today. Hard luck Kerry. We'll see you again next year no doubt.

Played well and would have been comfortable only for a few minutes of madness from Cluxton. He had a mare today. Brolly (Monaghan) - Posts: 4472 - 28/08/2016 19:24:26 1907082 Link 1 |
Think in years to come this could be the game that confirms this Dublin side as a great team. To be a great team you have to win back-to-back All-Irelands and show resilience when really tested. Today Kerry threw everything they had at them and Dublin still found a way to win, that says a huge amount about their quality. If only we had more battles like that in the championship.

Great result for Dublin. many teams would have folded after that nightmare last ten minutes of first half, but showed what a class outfit they are. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2128 - 28/08/2016 20:44:20 1907132 Link 1 |

Well done to Dublin, the showed great metal to recover in the second half, didn't think Kerrys second goal should have been allowed but anyway the best team won, I thought the Gooch played very well at times, he can fairly pass a ball and take a score,hope it's not the last we see of him.

Indeed, well done to Dublin and best of luck for the final. Hugely entertaining game of football, although I couldn't enjoy it due to nerves. I'd take issue with anybody saying Kerry were gifted anything. Cluxton is a liability at this stage and it was clearly part of the gameplan to pressure him. Our poor discipline cost us dearly at the other end. You can't give away that many scorable frees and expect to get away with it. Dublin showed real character to get back into it and you'd expect them to carry that into the final and retain the title. Nobody will argue that they don't deserve it.
