Are we falling out of love with the same old pairing?

Is it possible that people have ran out of things to say about Dublin v Kerry? Even on Up for the Match, where the tolerance for cliché is high, they looked a touch jaded by it all.

Are we falling out of love with the same old pairing?

Yesterday saw Kerry’s most dispiriting defeat to the Dubs for some time. After the 2011 final, most acknowledged they were the classier team and that they fell victim to a late smash and grab from a ravenously hungry outfit with a sense of destiny about them. In 2013, such was the nature of the game, even the losers were elevated by having taken part.

Not true of yesterday’s game — a thoroughly fitting conclusion to a dissatisfying season.
