Parkinson had plenty to say on it. Doesn't seem to have much love for Cluxton.

It was no bother to Scruff taking the dollar to play for  Parnells, Scruff has a chip with everyone. Cluxton didn't like that all the mercs were joining the senior team, he probably did not like scruff and all the other blow ins.

And now i that recollect, i believe he dropped down to the Inter team during that period because of it. Lots in Parnells were not happy with was going on, bet you scruff didnt mention any of that on his podcast

A lot of clowns on this thread as usual...  ;) I know you are all sick of the sight of Cluxton, but you cant deny his achievements and his contributions to GAA.

Agree with the above, if hes gone, hes gone, move on quickly, there is an all Ireland to be won. Dublin will be there or there abouts, a lot of new (ish) faces starting, may not be our year. Need Small back in the centre anyway and Rock starting etc.

Also bad news for you, Comerford is an excellent keeper and he will only get better.

After the 5 in a row Fitzmaurice said :

https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-30951089.html
"the roll of honour is a more important thing to protect and that becomes a challenge for the next decade".

The gap between the 2 counties in the roll of honour is now 7 .
Can Dublin win 13 in a row? I don't think punters or advertisers would stand for it.

The WTF factor would be too high. The All Ireland Final is already very hard for journalists to cover.

Kerry no devine right to be top dog no longer, nor do the Dubs for the matter, times have changed, next 50 will be different from the last 50 Years.

They have clifford and sean o se who are capable of beating the Dublin defence , no other county have forwards next to near that type of talent and that's why they could come close . Dublin v kerry final is odds on imo . Should be a cracker too. Just a shame it will be a near enough empty croke park again . It's a nothing occasion tbh without a packed croke park,  hard to get excited about it in that sense .

Both a joy to watch, so young too, will win a few IMO

A few All Stars maybe. Kerry will be under pressure to win Munster, but they're under as much pressure to win the All Ireland as Derry are. Same for every other county.

Are you saying there is no pressure on Kerry to win the All Ireland, thats not accurate, they expect big things from this current crop and management, talking to some of animals down there, they are saying this is their year to win it. . .

The Gas thing is the GAA world is looking to Kerry to save Gaelic football. It's a bit like looking to Rangers to save Scottish football.

Like looking to Dublin, late 70s and 80s....

Kerry have been trying to defend the top spot in the roll of honour with no support from the GAA.
The Dubs will walk it again. It used to be a sport

Use to be or? Only 6 teams have won it in 20 years, And 3 of them teams only won it once.

Kerry group are not pub sponsor. . . 

Separate but linked to give hope to others, this year alone, PSG, Juventus , Celtics hold on their respective leagues has been broken . . .

One All Ireland since 2009.
Keane's 3rd Year with only one Munster title to his name.
The humiliation of 2020 beaten by a non contender Cork Team.
The have the players and the panel
Legacy weight on their shoulders.

Nothing less that an All Ireland is failure, pressure is on.

No pressure on the Dubs, New management in Tyrone, they wont expect miracles straight way, no one will tip Mayo, etc.
