That he came back to win the Sam Maguire is a tribute to the honor of an AI title. Kennelly left a professional sports position to earn the AI medal. It says alot about the esteem with which an AI title is held among professional athletes.

Can we have a red font option on the threads please. I used to have the option of bold pen, but nbow that that is being used everywhere, I think some sort of glittery red is in order.

We can all agree on one thing anyway this year. Tadgh Kennelly was immense.

Kennelly came home to achieve his ambution. Fair enough and credit to him but why didnt he just tell the truth & say ' ok now i've got it i'm going back'? He didnt need all the stuff about will i / wont i. Unfortunately in my opinion he has been tarnished by the tackle on Murphy & his book.

I bet he wont be "brave" enough to go out and elbow any of the AFL giants.

Will be a huge loss to Kerry - i don't begrudge him going back - pity he opened his mouth about that tackle and would have been better off not writing the book. His contribution in tying up Canty in the final was crucial to kerry winning and he scored a lovely point in the final also. Bon Voyage Taigheen.

No triona, it was in the all ireland final this year. Ya must have seen it, it was shown numerous times. He speaks about it in his book as well

He wasn't in the final this year, not that I saw. Sure wasn't he on the other end of the phone after the match!

See what I mean?

No class.

Fortunately in Antrim we are used to CONSTANT rather than rare success, so we can also cope with losing.

A huge loss in fairness. Made a fair old contribution this year. But, knowing kerry they'll just unearth some new 18 year old player to take his place and he'll be just as good anyway

I think the only reason many posters are glad Tadgh has back to Australia is that he wont be facing them next year.

I'd be more worried about the GAA losing the likes of Quinn from Longford and possibly McCann from Antrim that a small fish from a big pond to be brutally honest.
