The Dubs always do this stuff well.

In contrast to my own county where everyone bit of dirty linen is aired in public.

Must mean that Comerford is gone. Not sure what the situation is with Shiels. O'Hanlon has been excellent and is improving with every game. He deserves to keep the spot.

Is it known why Clux vanished in the first place (more than just bored of winning All-Irelands)?

I see Pat Spillane has labelled Cluxtons return "a joke"

Interesting that the most negative and ill thought mutterings are coming from a Mayo man and a Kerry man in a very open manner in the national media

Hmmm.. wonder why?

Pat is hoping that no player wins 9 AI medals, to surpass his 8. Mick Fitz, Jimmy Mac, and now Cluxo may have a sweet riposte to Spillane in a few short months. I could feel the fear in his writing.

Plain old begrudgery as always.

We all thought Cluxton was the kind of man who didn't like the limelight, how things have changed. Pat is right, if Derry or any other team brought back a man of 41 they'd be laughed at.

Unfortunately we don't have any 41 year-olds with 8 All-Irelands in Galway. If we did, we might be asking them for help too.

41 for a goal keeper though, not like hell be playing midfield, he was playing nearly right up to his 40th birthday, did very well winning player of the year playing a massive part in keeping Dublin on track to 5 in a row, some really top class saves etc

Spillane even says that himself that his age doesn't matter, so you're misquoting him on that front.

How did he put himself in the limelight. Nobody knew he was coming back until he literally stepped of their team bus. Bizarre comment.

Derry do need a new keeper, wherever one can be found. Shame there's no one that can be brought back in!

Not too many 41 year old Derry men like Cluxton I guess!

Would love to hear how you think things have changed?

its a bit different as cluxton is an 8 time all ireland winner and arguably the greatest keeper of all time

Have I heard correctly that Cluxton has not even played club football in over two years but is now back in with Dublin?
On that basis it sounds like he's back in to coach rather than play?

Are Dublin supporters not sick and tired of the secrecy and poor communication?
