Six observations about the All-Ireland football final and all that flows from it

The Cluxton kickout

The penalty didn’t change the game. Stephen Cluxton changed the game. With 17 minutes gone, he had a kickout and had a quick and easy option to go short and wide.

He chose not to. Instead, he fired a ball diagonally, right across to the Cusack Stand sideline. There did not appear to be a Dublin player there.
