On the road up to Ennis on Saturday evening, Clive Tyldesley was being interviewed on the radio about his recollections of his 1999 Champions League final commentary on ITV, and specifically about those final, frantic minutes when Manchester United went from 1-0 down in injury-time to somehow turn the tables and beat Bayern Munich 2-1.

Peter Keane was at pains to repeat his message to the media after his Kerry side failed to impress in their six-point win over Clare.

Walking out of Cusack Park Saturday night, I could feel straight away the dissatisfaction of some Kerry supporters with the second half performance in particular.

The result was never in doubt, so why did Kerry’s victory feel like a let-down?

Kerry made hard work of seeing off Clare in heavy conditions to book a Munster final spot against Cork in three weeks’ time.
