one of the greats, but was a very cynical player at times.

Definitely one of the greatest in the last decade and will be sorely missed. I would say Cork and the Dubs would be glad to see the back of him as he had some of his best days against them.

An excellent footballer, sorry to see him go but he deserves the rest.

False alarm. He's only given it up for lent. He'll be back after the long weekend.

I heard Jacko say earlier that Dara, Mick O'Connell and himself held the jersey for 50 years between them. That's some going. I don't think Dara was quite in their class but a marvellous player nonetheless

Ní bheith a leithéad arís ann. 'Fear láidir' lár na páirce. Mo cheoil dhuit a Dharragh as ucht na blianta den scoth a chaith tú sa gheansaí glas is ór.

The word 'legend' gets thrown around quite a lot but in this case it is fully warranted. He wasn't just a great player but an icon. The rest of the midfielders in the country will sleep soundly tonight!!!

Slán a Dharragh, ba phribhléid é tú a fheiscint ag imirt agus go n-éirí leat sa todhchaí.

Peileadóir gránna. Duine gránna. Le cuidiú Dé ní bheidh a leithid arís ann.

I´m devastated. Going to see Kerry play just won´t be the same without him there. One of the greatest players of all time. A FECKING LEGEND. I´ve rarely seen such an inspirational player - despite his advancing years, I feel his presence alone would have been an asset this year - will be sorely missed. He´s been a hero for me all my life. Mile, mile buiochas a Dharragh!
