What a game.

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. https://twitter.com/TommyC15/status/769917616848855040 https://twitter.com/DaraDeBrun/status/769912240912887809 James McCarthy started hammering boys left, right and centre. https://twitter.com/neil_treacy/status/769905938170015744 https://twitter.com/EoinTHFC/status/769905811887972352 https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/769908886119866368 Donnchadh Walsh, meanwhile, was just running. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/769909144631599106 https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/769910375684902912 https://twitter.com/AlanLoughnane1/status/769916797072080896 https://twitter.com/PaddyMcKenna/status/769913872685957120 Then, Stephen Cluxton's cock-up gifted Kerry a way back and a sight at a wound. https://twitter.com/philmccabe83/status/769912942192132096 Stephen Cluxton was suspect again. https://twitter.com/StephenHughes93/status/769912941558763520 Donnchadh Walsh was still running. https://twitter.com/IRELANDreporter/status/769914813048885248 Kerry went in five up. https://twitter.com/JadeWoods_/status/769916583246520320 https://twitter.com/Laauraa_xo/status/769916265205002240 Colm Cooper remembered he was Colm Cooper. https://twitter.com/Paddy_barry13/status/769925693824180224 Then Dublin ruined everyone's fun https://twitter.com/Shaaaaaanne/status/769929686499688448 https://twitter.com/aineasaI/status/769929506991865856 https://twitter.com/abintus1/status/769929557428281344 Dean Rock wouldn't bloody miss. https://twitter.com/KeysColm/status/769931109098483713 Then Diarmuid Connolly dished out a massive hit, with his shoulder and then with his left. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/769928906027757576 Dublin earned their respect like true champions. https://twitter.com/Brayd11/status/769935708450590720 https://twitter.com/GoOnTheBells/status/769930630998228992 One thing was certain, that was some game. https://twitter.com/pjgallagher/status/769929077725794307 https://twitter.com/Ian_Coyne/status/769931917999296512 https://twitter.com/richiefromtaken/status/769929451413045248
