[3] Redmond sustained a groin injury while practising free-taking on the Thursday ahead of the match.

He says, 'Charlie, I have never given a player a pain-killing injection and I never will, if you can't play put your track-suit on.

[3] Peter Canavan hit eleven of Tyrone's twelve points, but missed a late free that would have tied the game.

[5] Farrell then accidentally tripped Tyrone back Chris Lawn and the referee blew his whistle.

[5] While this was occurring, Tony O'Donoghue provided an update from the sideline for RTÉ television viewers on the extent of Fergal Logan's "very bad" ankle injury.

[5] Finbar McConnell moved to take the free for Tyrone but was stopped short by a further blow from the referee's whistle.

[3][5] Note that Seán Moran, writing in The Irish Times in 2019, noted that: "Watched on YouTube, the forbidden period on the field comes in at 28 seconds — admittedly that's nearly half a minute more than ideal, but not nearly the length of time some had thought, and during which Redmond never touched the ball".

This was Dublin's last All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title until they won the 2011 final.
