Hes was nowhere near as good as Walsh even on his best day

You’d feel he never kicked on alright, one of those lads that was a superstar underage and thought his talent alone was enough when got to senior. Actually sums up a lot of that style of lad from whingey Kildare

Soupy

Noooooo.

Soupy was a wonderfully reassuring figure of constancy, an identifiable reference point in our lives.

We felt like we knew him.

The confident stride, the chest out, the shoulders back, the strong running, the metronomic coming off the bench, the metronomic roar of the Armagh crowd as he came off the bench and the metronomic scores coming off the bench.

An adornment to the game. RIP.

The heartbeat of 2nd half Armagh.

He made all the rest of them give more when the legs were starting to tire. Invaluable effect.

Blackguarded by McGeeney. I don’t blame him him for jacking it in

John Small. Resolute in defence of opposition attacks and his ideas

John Small minded.

A vital cog in the wheel to be fair to him

A proper hard man.

I hear there are going to be a couple of returnees to the Dublin panel for 2026.

Ger is getting his ducks in a row early.

Dublin football’s loss is online fascist propaganda’s gain.

A nasty piece of work. A man you’d want to do your dirty work.

Great player, did what he had to do to win & made no apologies for doing so. A cunt but a cunt you’d want on your team.

Very underrated player , good ball carrier. Pair of shoulders like Keith Barr .I never paid much attention to Small until I went to Croke park for maybe it was the 2017 all Ireland semi final agin Tyrone where the dubs hammered them . He bet the shit out of Petey Harte off the ball for the whole game before eventually getting a yellow , I had never seen the like of it go unpunished in a semi final * before.

That game was famous on here. Kev and nembo kid argued for 24 hours a day for 2 weeks leading into it. It vitriolic towards the end. If I recall correctly Kev predicted an easy Dublin victory while nembo thought the upset was on.

I think nembo only got his ticket the morning of the game. Fairly sure king con scored at 20 seconds and the game was over.

Must have been sickening for nembo to sit through that for 70 minutes and then face the music on here.

He must be the only player to be sent off in two successive All-Ireland finals.

I’d say Dublin must be the only team to have players sent off in three successive All-Ireland finals.
