It wasn’t the best day weather-wise at Croke Park and the entertainment was sadly lacking in a goalless game that was played out in very difficult conditions for the players.
In the end, it’s another Sam Maguire for Dublin as Kerry get the blues.
Here’s how Twitter reacted.
Rain, rain, everybody wanted it to go away
Since both teams are Irish neither would be used to the wet conditions #DUBvKER

Whatever happens, all the players have promising ice skating careers after the match. #DUBvKER #GAA

Jaysus it's just a bit of rain! The amount of slipping is ridiculous #AllIrelandFinal #DUBvKER

A bit of rain and they can't stand up or pass a ball #DUBvKER

#DUBVKER it's like handling a bar of soap. Terrible conditions but played (so far) in good spirits

Beginning to look like this game is being played on ice. #DUBvKER

Conditions certainly not helping but this is a muck game of football so far #DUBvKER #GAA

Not sure if I'm watching an All Ireland Final or an episode of It's a Knockout #DUBvKER

This is basically just one huge slip'n'slide competition. Conditions helping no one. #COYBIB #DUBvKER

#DUBvKER playing directly after premiere of 50 shades sequel in Croker wasn't the best choice the #GAA could've made. pic.twitter.com/swhOYXw32H

The massive letters on the pitch were not popular with Tweeters
Not a fan of the writing on the middle of the pitch. Very distracting #noneed #gaa
— Paul Cashin (@ThePauer27) September 20, 2015
@damianharvey74 The writing on the pitch is more entertaining than the football at the minute
— Seamus Donnelly (@seamusdonnelly) September 20, 2015
Writing on the pitch is awful
— Ian Barrett (@ianbarrett13) September 20, 2015
Wtf is the writing on the pitch
— Carlyn (@Carlynmccarthy2) September 20, 2015
99 percent chance of rossai giving out about the gaa writing peil on the pitch instead of caide

Most were not happy with the entertainment on offer
Easily the worst All Ireland final I've ever seen.....since last year #DUBvKER #GAA

Kerry fans were a bit panicky at half-time and were calling for Kieran Donaghy!
Kerry in real trouble! #DUBvKER
— Jim Mulhall (@Jimmulh) September 20, 2015
There's only one thing for this match - high ball into Donaghy. Get him on! #DUBvKER
— Fiona Power (@FionaPower9) September 20, 2015
#DUBvKER Kerry need someone to win dirty ball and cover the field. Can @pgal10 still play that kind of game?
— michael bernie (@michael_bernie) September 20, 2015
Kerry playing like Mayo. Bad misses. Dubs much more controlled #DUBvKER
— Noel Daly (@66noel66) September 20, 2015
There'll be words at half time in the Kerry changing room, I'd say. #DUBvKER

Bit of a domestic amongst the kerry management #DUBvKER

Paul Galvin coming on for Kerry caused quite the reaction
Paul Galvin a fashion icon is on! #DUBvKER pic.twitter.com/Psdz0z7QNn

Galvin on and Moran off. Are you serious?! #sundaygame #DUBvKER could be a costly mistake
— Maria Nyhan (@Mimiz070291) September 20, 2015
Big call galvin for Moran #dubvker
— tim murphy (@timmknocknagree) September 20, 2015
Little girl asks who's that? Big boy says "paul galvin". Little girl asks why he is being put on "cause he's a tank" #DUBvKER
