Youāve gone and done it now
Youāre getting him mixed up with joe mcquillan
McQuillan and the biased Southern media combined for 0-6 iirc
Iām no expert but it looked to me like joe held davids hand for the full ninety minutes
Uh oh.
This is an utterly terrible state of affairs. Can we all say a decade or two for david?

Iād say he said it with his eyes bulging wide open and an aw shucks face and a self deprecating, āI suppose the Rangers fans are gasā tone of voice to be fair. (He probably said āto be fairā too)
David is sound though
The gaa should have sent a referee to protect him. Itās not on.

Its crazy the adulation he gets really if you think about it. Like heās an absolutely brilliant player obviously but heās not that much better than con o Callaghan for eg. Not like heās really good looking or even āexoticā like Jason Sherlock or courts the publicity on tik tok or something. Itās a very strange phenomenon.

When David grows up he wants to be Shane McGuigan

Itās because kids know what sport is really about, fellas doing the extraordinary rather than just doing the ordinary to a very high standard. Itās why Joe Canning got similar adulation despite playing at the same time as Shefflin. Iād say Shane Walsh is the 2nd most popular footballer after Clifford for similar reasons.

Heās the greatest Gaelic footballer of all time. 99 percent of Irish people wouldnāt even know con o Callaghan if he walked past them. If you asked a lot of Irish people theyād probably think your talking about a today fm Dj.

Whatās the correlation with people knowing you if you walked past and how good you are a t the game ? You must think Beckham is the greatest footballer ever ? Besides Kerry best footballers will always be more known than Dublin best ones.
I agree. Kerry must keep giving him the ball and build their whole game around him and let him shoot as he likes as heās so good.
Like no kid grew up wanting to be Gary Neville, No kid grows up wanting to be Niall Scully

The Dubs are fierce touchy Clifford is box office and that the only adulation their star players get is from @Bandage

Con is a very very good footballer. Heās really good.
The parenting duties havenāt effected his performance levels at all. Heās extraordinary.
That statement could apply to David Cliffordās footballing skills or @Bandage tracking of Brian Fenton.

Fento drove past me & the lads on our walk home from crĆØche/afterschool on Friday around 5pm but it was so fleeting I didnāt even record it on the relevant thread.
PS, David Clifford seems like a very sound chap too.
