Yes it was a super game Pat, victory well deserved by the Dubs.

Kerry will come again, no doubt, but today is all about the Dubs. Well done, made us all proud ...

I see "culchie" commentators making a point that Cluxton and Gavin should call it a day.

I totally disagree.

Begrudging so so's.

Let's make 'em sick with six. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Back in my day the Dub wins were few and far between, only two that I can remember and, by sheer chance, I was at both. The two wins were against Galway: 1963 with Mickey Whelan and Des and Lar Foley starring. I got lifted over the stiles by some old geezer so got in free, but spent the game squashed against a gate under the stands, viewing about 10' of the pitch. John Timmons visited St.Ciarans with the Sam McGuire after the win so we all got to touch it and get his autograph. There was so much excitement in Dublin that the entire team became politicians – nearly :)

The second was 1974 β€œHEFFO’S ARMY”, the year before I left Ireland. I was a bit heavier then so had to pay into that one, nobody could lift me over the stiles.  We started drinking in the Horse & Hound early, moved to the North Strand before the game to be close to Croker, a few pints in Fairview when the game ended then home to pick up the missus and back to the Horse & Hound after dinner. I retraced the sessions and downed 23 pints that day, breaking my long-standing record of being flat on my back after 4 pints.

 

Up the Dubs!

Wow, wasn't expecting that.

Wonderful manager who has achieved so much in the game and created history with the DUBS.

Hope his legacy will carry on by whoever takes over and the DUBS remain at the top.

Wow, big surprise there (maybe not to those in the know).

Agree with every word of Pats, couldn't put it any better.

All the very best Jim, and a million thanks for the pleasure and the pride you've given all us Dubs

Have to say it came as a bit of a shock to me ,,I thought at this stage he was going to hang on for another go at it ,,but like everything Gavin does it is all well thought out ,,,I wish him all the best and I don't think there will be another like him or the team he had ,,it has been a wonderful long run of great summers and great  days out ,,Thanks

Saw Charlie Redmond and Ciaran Duff singing Dessie's praises and he seems to have all the qualities.
