Replying To eddieSize5Balls:  "Not at the races today. Terrible performance all round and not even attempting a couple 2 points is a joke. Embarrassing"
An anti climax of a final. Donegal never in it. Jack O'Connor won the sideline battle hands down. No 2 pointer from Donegal and not a single goal chance created by them.

Donegal 2-22 Kerry 1-19

Sam is heading for the hills."
Atmosphere is great, but don't get intoxicated on it.

Kerry awesome. Leaving McFadden on bench was a shocking call, and damage was already done by the time they got him on.

All Irelands hard won as both our counties know. Still a strong squad there & a good year winning Ulster. You never really got into it today but you'll be back again soon I'm sure.

Jimmy had no plan today, a team of Gaelic Footballers against a team of athletes and long distance runners who didn't run today, also no place for old men in Croke Park , a few scored easy frees not enough on All Ireland Final Day.

This is not about Galway

Breaking off well before the end of the parade today and not celebrating with the fans after the semi final, just screams a bit of arrogance to me. Arrogance based on what?

And do NOT get me started on the "world against us" mentality. Not good enough, simple as that.

Monaghan fans slowly becoming the worst. You were in the Cavan forum a few weeks given loads. Same with Meath one. You're a small county that never came close to winning the all Ireland. You're at best the 5th best team in Ulster.

Hard to dust yourself off and come back after that sort of performance though. Will be a semi finalist team maybe next year but it's hard to improve. We were probably at the best level we could get to and it wasn't close to being enough.

Harsh there Jack. Played 3 div 2 teams in a row and then walloped early doors by the best team in the country. Kerry were awesome. Today not on McGuinness.

Desperately disappointing. We were very nervous at the start and it was always an uphill battle. I was a bit surprised McFadden was dropped. Kerry were very good. Thompson was a big loss - he nits a lot together in attack and has that 2 point threat for the 2nd half. Langan had a poor game when we needed a big one from him. Some of the decision making in the 2nd half was poor - lot of shots taken from just inside the arc which is the worst position to shoot from, especially when behind. Both of the O'Donnells were good and tried very hard but we couldn't really get Mogan, McHugh, Moore, Roarty of Eoghan Ban into the game. Kerry were set up well and tactically better on the day. Hard one to take.

McCole and Langan so bad. Thompson a big loss. Conor O'Donnell, Gallen and Murphy tried really hard.
Hard to understand why Mcguinness didn't start at least one fetching midfielder and taking off Gallen who was playing well for McBrearty who offered nothing was a little baffling. Probably a good enough year for Donegal all the same and back to the drawing board for next year.

Brolly is some dose. Now he's saying we're a team of ordinary footballers and that pretty much we'll never win an all Ireland with them. He jinxed us in 2014 and did the same in 2025. In for a long rest of summer and winter !
