You are rewriting history here. Cluxton was kicking 40 yarders to the sideline to a moving Ciaran Whelan or Shane Ryan back as far as 2006. The short kick out to his corner backs came about 6 or 7 years later when teams like Kerry pulled out their full forward line to stop Cluxton’s long accurate kick outs. No player in modern times has fundamentally changed the way the game is played as much as Cluxton has. The fact he is a sour cunt should not deflect from this.
I agree that Jack or Con should win POTY. @cluaindiuic put me straight on this.
I agree with your point, but it says it all about goalies that getting one to actually kick a ball to his own teammate is seen as one of the most revolutionary changes ever seen in the game.
A complete load of bollocks. And he was doing nothing that other teams weren’t, the Dublin media train weighed in behind him when it became clear that he was a completely odd cunt.
He’s been the most consistent keeper of the last 15 years but on most occasions he’s heen 2nd or 3rd best during a calendar year behind the likes of Durcan, Beggan or one of the Mayo lads.
He’s always liable to make stupid mistakes like this.
Are you telling me the likes of Diarmuid Murphy, Paschal McConnell and Benny Tierney were pinging 40 metre kick outs to midfielders chests in 2006?
They were in their fucking holes.
The Dublin media train you claim cheerlead Cluxton is led by Data and Tomas O Se, Kevin McStay and Colm O Rourke. Their the guys that heap most praise on him. I have a feeling your mind is made up on this and I’m not going to change it but you are still very wrong. Finally if he is always liable to make a mistake like the above why did you have to go back 10 years to find it?
Heavyweight blow after heavyweight blow being thrown here between @croppy_boy and @binkybarnes, a thrilling contest. Some landing, some sliding past. Has either got a knock out in them?
Your right. I just watched him toe ending a load of kick outs up the middle (like your granny got it) and dropping a 45 into the net. Kieran Donaghy sends him a Christmas card every year too. Durcan was definitely better than Cluxton. At eating snack boxes.
By largely turning the kick out into a long pass to a moving target rather than a lorry up into the sky for the two sets of midfielders to compete under. Essentially changing the set piece from a random battle for possession into the first pass of an attack. He’s changed the GGA forever.
