It was an All-Ireland SFC final that certainly lived up to its pre-match billing as Dublin and Kerry live to fight another day after a thrilling 1-16 apiece draw...

After all the nonsense David Gough has been absolutely immense in that first half.

At peak almost 1.1million watched the drama unfold. 1,099,900. Average 968,700 76.5% share. Huge credit to both counties for the thriller. pic.twitter.com/lS0Dz0wkqb

Great game. Sean O’Sé coming of age, a Spillane returning to haunt the Dubs, awesome performances from McCaffrey, David Moran, Kerry’s defence superb, Dubs almost cracking. Massive amount of talking points. Great weekend. Great to be Irish. And all to come again.

Right...the penalty for Kerry was correct decision; sending off for Dublin was the most obvious sending off ever; drag back of Stephen O Brien in 2nd half was stone wall penalty! Time to get rid of biased analysts or those with an agenda...we & the game deserve better than that👊 pic.twitter.com/k2FoqefM54

The last two drawn football finals involved Dublin ( v Mayo, 2016) and Kerry ( v Galway, 2000).

Dublin and Kerry both won the replay 🤷‍♂️

I used to play in all Ireland finals. Today I’m in a kids play centre with two different socks. #AllIrelandFinal

Pat Spillane is beyond proud of his nephew Killian! There’s a tear in his eye. I’m delighted for him #AllIrelandFinal

Just can’t believe that the replay is fixed for Fitzgerald stadium Killarney. #bringiton 😂

Can’t overstate how unreal Sean O’Shea’s performance was today at 21 - when Geaney and Clifford weren’t operating at 💯 he kept Kerry ticking over, imperious from frees and constantly an option in middle third; kicked two superb points from play under pressure too. Class act #GAA

Captain. Man of the match. 1-7 from play. Can’t ask for much more than that from your big gun! A real leader is that Conor Corbett.

Entertainment at its finest. Fair play to Kerry & Dublin. Both had their chances to win but both will be glad of another opportunity. #AllIrelandFinal2019

Gaelic football is dead they say ...... That was as good a sporting contest as you’re likely to see. Fair play to those players, an unbelievable spectacle.

I couldn't count the number of people I have interviewed over the years, but I'll tell ya wan thing I never met anyone as inspirational as 11 year old Michael O Brien from Killarney @CrokePark today with his mother Noirin. Unrale young fella and a credit to his family. pic.twitter.com/mnln4OjUES

Considering the feast of football in both #AllIrelandFinal2019 in @CrokePark today the amount of negativity in the so called 'analysis' is mind-boggling. Social media is to happiness what foot and mouth is to the Laughing Cow. Enjoy it folks. None of us are getting out alive.

At least the greatest rivalry in Irish sport, the one that energised and exercised so many of us born in the ’60s, has been spectacularly reinvigorated by those young lads from #Kerry. Bring the replay on! #DUBvKER #AllIrelandFinal
