We have had serious funny honest and vindictive posts in the run up to and aftermath of the Kerry Dublin game Ihaveenjoyed some reacted to others and been downright angry at the ones that do not recognise the time talent and sacrifice expended on all involved in putting that spectacle before us on Sunday ...yes EVEN the ref Daragh O Sè's article in today's times says it all and he should know having been part of Kerry teams who lorded it over Dublin, bottom line as Darragh writes is Dublin are the team of the moment if not of the ages Kerry are a kick of a ball behind them but behind them they are and accepting that in a sportsperson way is part of what it is all about Sit back now and wait to see if Mayo can succeed where Kerryand others have failed this year Thank you Darragh for such a balanced article Kerry Tyrone Mayo and Donegal may be in a place near to Dublin the rest including Sligo are aeons away Best of luck to both teams on the 18th and I also look forward to a classic in the minor final some seriou talent on show by Galway and Kerry. Surely players like Clifford Conneely Finnerty and O Shea should be the front runners for young player of the year? Meanwhile full credit to Dublin the team of the moment

I didn't read Darragh's piece, but I don't think there's many who post on here seriously who would not agree that Dublin are the best team in the country.

As for YPOTY - it won't go to a minor. As brilliant as those you mentioned are playing, someone like Diarmuid O'Connor (or Michael Quinliven if he qualifies) have done at senior intercounty level will always eclipse anything done at underage such is the step-up.
