Kerry and Dublin served up an absolute cracker in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday and it sent the world of social media into complete meltdown.
In the end, it was the champions who came from behind to emerge into the decider with Mayo after a 0-22 to 2-14 win over the Kingdom.
Stephen Cluxton's uncharacteristic wobbles at the end of the first half helped the Kingdom into a five-point advantage at the break and set up a clinker of a second period with both sides striding end-to-end trying to win.
It went to the very death and it went down to fine margins and the drama and narrative swung and rewrote itself over 76 pulsating minutes.
Dublin shot in front and it left everyone wondering where this master plan was hiding.

Then, Stephen Cluxton's cock-up gifted Kerry a way back and a sight at a wound.
