Regardless of what people's views are on Cluxton's actions, the pictures are great http://www.joe.ie/gaa/gaa-gallery/exclusive-cluxton-v-mcateer-in-pictures-0011097-1

Thanks. Nice to have my work appreciated.

For the record, cluxton is a very good outfield football (as in soccer) player. Wouldn't be surprised if he nicked it off McAteer and outdid him for pace; would say McAteer clipped his heels out of frustration by being shown up.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Cluxton was very good during the game.

The left side of McAteer's face is nice and red from the punch.

No faking that.

McAteer gonna be interviewed on Newstalk in a few mins.

Class, Trigger can put it in his book if he can remember where he left his crayons.

I always quite liked McAteer, feel sorry for him there, really embarrassed himself.

Ordinary man

Never liked him, hyperactive attention seeker. An early version of jedward.:mad:

He was never the brightest was our Triggs. He should have said nothing and left it be. He got trolled on twitter basically and came across as a whinger.

Joekers

What did he say ??

He apologised to the people at Darndale for his part in it which in fairness was pretty decent.

But instead of leaving it at that he went on a bit of a silly rant about how Cluxton has a history of this kind of thing and cost Dublin an All Ireland 8 years ago with his behaviour. There was some self congratulatory stuff about his charity work as well, it all got a bit cringe worthy by the end of it. It seems he was annoyed by the people commentimng on twitter about it and felt the need to set things straight which seems a bit pathetic.

Who said he's a hardman? One guy behaves stupidly and irresponsibly at a charity match (even though provoked, he shouldn't have hit out) and y'all can't wait to lay into the GAA.

His point does stand somewhat. I cannot help but think that if it were a soccer player he'd be deemed scum of the earth.

In his defence, he was right. Cluxton should have had the grace to keep his head and not to be throwing punches at a charity event.

Though I've no doubt McAteer lost his too with the tackle.

I have no problkem with his point there.

But teh whole dig about Cluxton'd past that he obviously read on wikipedia came across as pathetic. He should've come on, apologised and left it at that instead of stoking the flames further.

Oh it was utterly shameful. He lost any dignity he had remaining. I genuinely feel sorry for him.

Mister men

Fair play to McAteer he told it like it was. Hard to believe some see violence at a charity match okay.

Dempsey

Both of them are grade A clowns and Bernard Dunne isnt much better condoning fighting at a charity event.

fair play? he came across as a right simpering idiot, basically said he started it but it wasn't his fault really it was everyone else and he is a great guy and cluxton isn't so it must all be cluxtons fault.

Hard to believe he could go any lower in estimation but he managed it quite easily. Tries to start trouble with numerous opposition players at a charity match, gets pretty much what he was asking for then cries and moans on the radio about it.

Cluxton shouldn't have stooped to his level, but whoever was managing the legends side should have taken McAteer off. Running around trying to injure amateur players who have a ongoing career but turned out for a charity game anyway is pretty low.
