    That will not happen so we are all hoping for Kerry to have a one time cut of them in their back yard.

    Depressing.

    Kildare down to 13 v Offaly. A struggle to finish off Offaly now with 5 mins to go. 5 in it.

    His influence is massively overstated. A loss but not significant.

    You do realise Dublin isn't the only county where players retire?

    It’s the only one where there isn’t a nationwide decade of the rosary when one does.

    With his work ethic I get the impression he's not a fella who would come back half way during a championship having missed most of the training and feel right about taking the number 1 jersey again.
    Obviously don't know him so could be very wrong!

    Yes, the single most influential Gaelic footballer of the last 100 years won't be missed, you are indeed correct.

    There's only one poster embarrassing themselves here and it isn't me. Post 100 links if you want, it changes nothing.

    Genuinely embarrassed for you.

    For a lad who doesn't like publicity, Cluxton is doing a bad job of the current situation.

    He must be a bit odd though, either announce your retiring or orherwise. Needless drama

    Stop will ya
    As a Mayo man I was praying every year he would retire
    Sadly it has come too late for us :D

    He is a massive influence on that team. A huge huge loss .
    Combined with the other retirements and Gavin going we might just be seeing a changing of the tide .
    Again too late for my own county :(

    I could post 100 links, and it will get worse for you, if it is true that he has retired. The bitterness runs deep when it comes to Cluxton, but for us Dubs, we know what we have been so lucky to see.

    I will always be able to say that I was there when he kicked that free to start it all off.

    Roscommon and Galway was a very poor game, probably the end of Anthony Cunningham as Roscommon Manager.

    Early July and 14 teams already out after one championship game. The county hurlers have been given at least two championship games for the 2nd year in a row and surely the footballers should have got the same treatment especially in a year whereby there was only 4 league games.

    You can't really compare the two - hurling quite rightly have a tiered championship, if football followed suit then they could have a back door as well.
