got the impression from shane enright's announcement that he wasn't seeing eye to eye with keane.

some dublin players to walk before the month's over? philly mcmahon maybe?


With the short season, I can't see many Dublin players retiring unless they are pushed!

Enright was a poor enough player all things told and Kerry have better defensive options now.

Him and Ian Burke are by far the worst All Star awards over the past decade.

Burke almost got that All Star for his club performances

With the new split season will they only get their goodies for 7 months of the year?

That he got one and Shane Walsh hasn't just shows how bizarre some All Star selections are

Donnacha Walsh 2015 - another phantom All Star!

From the Bunker

I hear a certain individual has cascaded inter-county players who have not won an All Ireland medal for announcing their retirement publically.
Only All Ireland winners it seems are only worthy of this privilege.

I thought Walsh was an extremely underrated player for Kerry and was a far superior footballer to Galvin.

Let me guess Joe Brolly is at it again?

Shane Walsh was infinitely better than Burke in 2018. Could not believe he didn't get one and Burke did.

He has got huge attention from articles of retaliation from local newspapers. Do they not know that writing such articles only keep his profile in the lime light. Exactly what he craves. Ignoring him is the solution. He is a nobody when the attention vanishes.

Brolly is and always was a bollox as fa as I am concerned.
This has nothing to do with his aversion to all things Mayo but goes back to the last time Tommy Freeman played in an Ulster final for Monaghan.
Tommy injuuredd his hand in the leadup to the game and was a doubtful starter until the last minute. He played with his hand heavily strapped. He is a roofer by trade annd it seems he drove a Hilti nail through his palm.
Brolly from start to finish could resist poking fun at Tommy and his awkwardness as Brolly saw it.
He tried to get O'Rourke and Lyster to share in the fun but both to their credit didn't respond to his smart arse remarks.
As a player, he was a showboarder of the worst type. He made an art form out of running along the sideline, blowing kisses to his fans every time he scored.
I am no fan of his.

Getting dropped from RTE has been a huge blow to his profile and he knows it.
