Paradise lost or great expectations? This was no Penguin Classic but it will have the look of one for Kerry.

David Gough was the right man for this All-Ireland final — I maintained that from a good bit out — and seeing him give one of the best refereeing displays in a football final wasn’t unexpected.

Dublin and Kerry will have to battle it out again on Saturday, September 14 (6pm throw-in), after this absorbing if error-strewn tussle finished tied.

Diarmuid Connolly’s first Championship start for Dublin in 26 months was marked with a win as Dublin confirmed their All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo this Saturday.

A Dublin football panel without a St Vincent’s club representative just doesn’t seem right.

Cork’s maiden voyage into the Super 8s begins this evening and the challenge facing them couldn’t be any bigger than that posed by the five-in-a-row chasing Dublin.

Éamonn Fitzmaurice might not be pacing the Fitzgerald Stadium sideline this Sunday but for many in Mayo he might as well be.

At 29 and closer to the end of his Dublin football career than the beginning, Dean Rock appears to have finally won over the doubters.

A record ninth Leinster SFC title in a row for Dublin but one that came in slightly unusual circumstances.

Warm June rain greeted us as we exited Croke Park yesterday with smiles on the faces of the Royal supporters, in particular.

No harm for Monaghan to remind Dublin that they have their number at these early junctures. No harm for the champions either to be told that in this season of all seasons there is going to be gristle. The physical soreness they feel today after this niggly clash will serve them well for what lies ahead.

A sense of belonging and a need for order are two of the reasons why so many Dublin fringe players remain involved, Ciarán Kilkenny believes.
