Oisin McConville, ex-Armagh and BBC: “You look at Paudie Clifford. He has scored three or four points in this game, but that wasn't the impact he had. It was the possessions he had, he controlled the game.
“When it needed slowing down, he slowed it down. When it needed ball inside to cut Donegal open, he was the one to do that.
“I think Donegal will regret that, but you could do that and they would beat you another way. That's the problem with Kerry.
“Do you know what, we've seen that in the last three games. They've played with a chip on their shoulder.
“If they continue to play with a chip on their shoulder nobody else in the country stands a chance with them, but they don't always play like that.
Today we seen the best of them.
“Jim McGuinness is a master tactician, but questions will rightly be asked about the way he set up his Donegal team for this game.
“None of that will matter to Kerry, who will celebrate long into the night of claiming a record 39th All-Ireland title”.
