Enjoy the retirement! Well deserved and a massive servant to Dublin (from an amazingly good-at-Gaelic-fotoball family). Great that he won 7. shoulderghost (Limerick) - Posts: 863 - 24/10/2019 16:29:44 2245517 Link
Legend. From 2010 to 2013 he was the man. fingalman (Dublin) - Posts: 233 - 24/10/2019 16:30:57 2245518 Link
Replying To wexico15: "Always find it amusing that how Dublin related topics end up on the national thread rather than their own page, that aside congratulations to brenard on a stellar career, to come back from 2 ACL injuries shows incredible character and resilience." There was retirement thread for Brick Walsh on here the other day, you must've been rolling on the floor at that one. Hilarious. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12116 - 24/10/2019 16:41:34 2245523 Link
An absolutely exceptional player. A pity he was dropped for the final. It must have hurt deeply. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 24/10/2019 17:22:40 2245531 Link
Posted as a new thread earlier on: 24/10/2019 13:32:12 - Joxer (4037) - Dublin What can you say about him? A legend and IMO the best corner forward to ever wear the blue and one of the best that the game has ever seen. So long Bernard and thanks for 15 years of service and some of the best memories I have ever had following the Dubs. Absolute legend.

Replying To Dubsfan28: "I don't see the issue when such a big name of the game like Cooper, Cavanagh or Brogan retire being put on the main page as I'm sure it would generate a lot of interest on the main page. I don't see the issue there but each to their own I suppose." Fair point, no issue at all with the retirement threads its the Dublin centric one's I was talking about like the tadhg kennelly comments, as I said a few self obsorbed Dublin posters are guilty of it why not put that up on your own page? bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 24/10/2019 17:38:08 2245536 Link

One of most easily likeable GAA players of all time, best of luck with the retirement! Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1899 - 24/10/2019 17:53:31 2245542 Link
The best Dublin inside forward I've ever seen. He could turn and kick a point in a phonebox. People forget that he wasn't a big star underage and it was well into his 20s before he found his feet as a top class player, but find his feet he did!

Great player anyone would love to have on their team. Seems like a nice fella too. All the best to him and his family. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 24/10/2019 19:05:34 2245561 Link

Best wishes to the lad from Battery Heights. An incredible journey. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 24/10/2019 20:30:29 2245569 Link
A hell of a player and what a record he has, 7 All Ireland's, like the way he retired in the off season too, no big fuss about it, really enjoyed those 2 goals he got in the final a few years ago. best wishes on his retirement, I'm sure we haven't heard the last of him yet, I thought he deserved a run out in the replayed final this year.

Great player 50% Kerry .7 All Ireland medals, taking out mom' s native county in no less than 5 of those triumphs Is he the first retiree to have lowered the Green and Gold on five championship occasions? We didn't like it but salute a modern great of the game Happy retirement meet you in Listowel The marquee in Finuge was where the story started !! 37sowhat (Sligo) - Posts: 752 - 24/10/2019 21:31:58 2245578 Link

"no issue at all with retirement threads" Except it's only this one you have an issue with? Right so. Anyone can start up a thread and post it if the moderators allow it then what's the issue? Take it up with them and don't let silly things annoy you so easily. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 24/10/2019 23:58:17 2245611 Link

We all know he got his accuracy from the Mayo side of his family. ;) In fairness, he came from great stock. He was undoubtedly the best inside forward in the game for a number of years and performed brilliantly on the big days. A great ambassador for the GAA on and off the pitch.

His Turkey Twizzlers were the stuff of legends. Was never the same man since Jamie Oliver started his campaign against him. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 25/10/2019 09:11:32 2245638 Link
