YOU really had to feel sorry for Kildare by the end yesterday.
Sitting in the crowd, when Colm Cooper advanced on goal with a few minutes to go, a few Kerry fans behind me implored him to punch it over and he duly did that.
It was a plea for mercy for the Lilywhites from the Kerry faithful. Those sentiments were repeated on social media where the Twitterati shared their views on the game…

Always great watching the gooch and co when they’re not playing against your own county #Gaa #SheerClass

Talk of Connolly, O’Donoghue, Murphy etc as being best player at present. Gooch is THE best. Has been for years. Will be until he retires.

I wonder at what point the Gooch will become officially registered as a force of nature. #KERvKIL #GAA #SundayGame
