    What a game, absolutely sensational!

    If kilkenny had of started brighter they probably would of won, but Limerick are a fantastic side.

    Don't mind who wins today would love to see Galway do it but I also like Kerry.

    Don't think Galway have much of a chance mind you!

    Biggest bug for me is the lack of clarity on what exactly is a fair tackle. For me I would like to see more favour given to attackers and clear cut more strict rules on tackling as this would open the game up attacking wise and help get more width in the game which would be good too.

    Kerry don't seemed to have learned from last year. Can't take teams for granted in the all Ireland final

    Well as a neutral, that was a thoroughly enjoyable half.

    Ref reasoning less controversial to not give a black in the wrong

    Dont mind the football, but as a spectacle it is miles behind the hurling for me.

    Fancied kerry by 4, kerry won by 4.

    Biggest problem for me in football is the tackle and the lack of clarity on what actually is a fair one. As I said above I would love to see a more strict and clear interpretation of what is a fair tackle. Done in a way that is more favorable to attackers this would open the game up much more I feel and help get real width in the game.
    For me in hurling my biggest thing is players just shooting away first time they get any way free for points from around the half way and sometimes it seems like games become all about that and free takers. Maybe increase the points for a goal to 4 would encourage teams to play more in hurling.
