Looking like a Dublin v Kerry final.

That Gallen lad looks a serious prospect

Moue1

Great game...pity it' not a knockout.

How Soon Is Now

This is great!

Karma King

The quality of shooting by both sides has been remarkable on such a wet day.

shrewdness

Cracking game, no separating the 2 sides. Which is kinda fitting as they're the 2 closest sides to the Dubs imo.

Moue1

Paul Brennan ia dirty player!

More dirt from Kerry.....

Moue1

****ING SICK OF THIS DIVING. EVERYONE DOWN HOLDING THE FACE.

SeaFields

What did he do? Red card?

shrewdness

Ffs, I had a 4 team accum for the Super 8s games and was waiting on Kerry...

RMAOK

Murphy had to be man of the Match

Karma King

Fair result. Neither team deserved to lose that cracker.

irishguitarlad

Well looks like a draw, great game.

Brilliant brilliant match.

How Soon Is Now

Brilliant game had everything draw fair result.

Either of these will give Dublin a proper game if and when it happens.

ThunbergsAreGo

Great game, super championship so far

Happyilylost

Great display from both teams on the attacking front.

RMAOK

Best game of the football championship by a country mile

Either of them will beat Tyrone.

shrewdness

Kerry and drawing thrilling Super 8s games, what a combination

First game was as bad. Cillian Connor was constantly at it

Decent game. Draw fair. Gives Mayo hope. Some game in Castlebar on the cards.

Definitely more worried about playing Donegal rather than Kerry though. So no change there from how we've seen the championship progress.

We'd roast that defence.

Geaney, Murphy and McHugh were immense.

Fann Linn

What was todays attendance btw?

jr86

Savage game. Kerry have certainly improved from last year. Donegal kicked some savage scores

It's looking like Kerry will top the group so you would have to fancy them to make the final this year. Be a great first season for Keane

Really? That's not like him.

frankz

Was Ger Canning correct saying winner guaranteed a semi final place. ??

If Donegal won still chance for 3 teams to be on 4 points so would go to scoring difference - ie winning wouldn't guarantee semi spot.

Attendance only matters when Dublin are playing. Nothing see here move along etc.

I think it was around 47000. Might have misheard the radio commentary.

Bret Hart

Tie-breaker

If only two teams are level on group points -

The team that won the head-to-head match is ranked first

If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all group games) is used to rank
the teams

If score difference is identical, total scored is used to rank the teams

If still identical, a play-off is required

If three or more teams are level on group points, score difference is used to rank the teams.

Prestonites

Murphy is absolutely huge for Donegal. Great game, both will need to improve as Dublin are trucking.

TheRiverman

Did Joanne Cantwell say that Shane Lowry is leading by six holes with three holes to play ? Shots Joanne.

Bonniedog

Score difference won't matter now. Kerry will beat Meath and Mayo have to beat Donegal. Draw would do Donegal.

mystic86

Reffing was a joke today at times, Kerry got nothing from him and Donegal got a few very dubious ones. Donegal backs at it off the ball all day.

conor05

Semis now looking like

Kerry V Tyrone
Dublin v Donegal

Murphy kicked that last free at least 10 metres ahead of where the foul was committed- he was on edge of D when he kicked it. A pet hate about Gaelic Football that that’s allowed pass so often.

O Donnell got a black card for nothing while O'Brien should of got a black card for stopping a dead cert goal but got away with it and keep in mind he set up Kerry's last point so I wouldn't say the ref was one sided.

jammiedodgers

What was the red card for near the end of the match?

Cathal McShane was at the same thing yesterday. He takes a few steps back and a few steps forward before the strike. Except they're not really back and forward. He's going sideways and broadening the angle with every step.

I thought he was poor for BOTH sides to be fair,
Kerry were up to a fair bit of over physicality and skulduggery.

Great game. Championship needs more like that badly.

It's been a good championship

aridion

Two best teams outside Dublin to be fair. Great points taken, a lot of good movement off the ball, and a lot of top top players on display. It was easily the best game of the championship so far.

Strumms

The scoring and accuracy from all over the pitch was unreal. In difficult conditions too it really was, some scores from crazy angles, under pressure and serious distances.
