Best of luck for the future Alan.
You were a powerful warrior for the Dubs
A great footballer from a great footballing family.

One of Dublin's best ever, a true gent and great of the game, hold your head high Alan.
Very hard to remember back to Dublin, pre-Alan Brogan. His emergence on the scene in 2002 was amazing - that full forward line of Brogan, Cosgrove and McNally were a real breath of fresh air and ended the Leinster drought.
Every Dublin manager he played under recognized his class and I was so happy to see him rewarded for all his efforts with a year like 2011.
Wonderful player, we were lucky to see him.

Not sure where it came from but I have not retired, my family and teammates will be the first to know that.

About time tbh. He's been done for a couple of years now.
Might want to take the brother with him. He's no interest.
Super player in his day though. Can't see him totally walking away from the panel.
your some ignorant oaf....................hope you drown in puddles of your own shite

What bit do you disagree with?
He is done,
Bernard has no interest and shouldn't be starting.
Id say you spent your day yesterday pulling your socket off gloating at Dublins loss
I don't think this is true?
It's not. He just put on twitter he hasn't retired.
The power of the internet...

Stupid thing to hear from a GAA fan. There are not that many class acts in our game and they should all be appreciated.

Am hearing that too. Did that come out after the RTE report?

I imagine it is true. Brogan just doesn't know it yet.
Show a bit of humility and class, instead of the high and mighty I told you so nonsense..........................the unprofessionalism from the gaa media comes to mind with the shite you are spouting
It would indeed be great news if Alan has not retired. His footballing craft and genius is something that no squad wants to lose.

Good post. Antrim man having a go... Get their own city in order...
Always liked Alan Brogan and from people that I know who have met him in everyday life or otherwise he is supposedly a fierce nice lad. He can be still useful to Dublin though I think his best days are behind him as a player and he probably shouldn't be starting any more. Still ten times the player O'Gara is (how is he even on the Dublin panel???).

That is completely out of order. Copy yourself on for Jaysus' sake.
Yes Brogan was completely out of order that day. Classless like many Dubs.
Maybe he was, but I doubt he acted the dick for no reason, and everything I've seen from him since then seems to suggest he's a very solid, grounded lad.

I'm sure he is.I didn't suggest otherwise.
He is, and retired or not, lads having a go at amateur players when they are just on the troll and trying to rub it in, would seem to me to be the very opposite of the kind of behaviour the Association tries to promote. Some lads here would want to look in a mirror.

The Troll aside , some of the stuff said on here about players are out of order. We need a 'give respect get respect' GAA style programme. :)
Pity to see him retiring, [if this is true] think he still has a lot to offer. A lovely player to watch. Some people would need to catch themselves on for their OTT criticism of amateur players.
Did Brogan win a medal last year or was he out of the panel all year injured. To be honest I felt after the game that he looked like a man ready to retire.
If thats the case then he was a fantastic servant to Dublin football.
If its not the case then he still is..
a lot of keyboard warriors around today
