Fair point Walsheman......

It was a charity game and it's a bit much to see that going on in the name of charity. Disgusting from a lads that young children look up to.....

if there was a problem,sort it in the dressin room instead of being onfront of a crowd and the national papers!!!

He's even pouting as he strikes McAteer.

Its front page news on The Evening Dub, it strokes Cluxtons already big ego even further.

I'd love to see McAteer bring him up for assault to be honest.It was a charity game and any cards dished out at it have no bearing on anything really.
In effect he gets away scot free with acting the thug whilst being lauded by the Dubs and their media.

That is absolute bullshit according to people who were at the game.

FFS lads, would ye get off ye're high horses. Everyone knows that McAteer is a spoon. If it was a Kildare lad that thumped him we'd all be pissing ourselves laughing.

No McAteer is a member of the Bootle Kerry supporters Club

+1 boo bloody hoo, the fact that these types of games are never really public knowledge and the profile of the players participating i doubt many children were in attendence anyway, it was darndale FC ffs, the children would be more dissapointed if he didnt give him a slap!!!

Good on ya Kicking King - the moral righteousness is hilarious... the lad lost his temper obviously, for some reason - many of our heroes have done the same - it's like the Wayne Rooney thing - sweet jesus, there are serious things to address in the world and in sport not to mention - Cluxton hitting McAteer isn't one of them.

As for the children, they've seen much worse on their xbox

Whatever was happening between them he was an idiot to punch McAteer like that and in a charity match! What would the Dubs be saying if it had have been the other way around?

id hazzard a guess along the lines of:

"bleedin hack of that mcateer kunt for boxin the head off clucko - scarleh for his granny for havin his ma"

Cluxton should be ashamed of himself...... typical, making excuses 'cos he's a "Dub"... If it was anyone else The GAA would be up in arms... how could anyone be proud of him!!!!

Fair play to you Cluxton. Someone needed to do it. You were already high in my estimation but you've gone way up after that.

How could the GAA be up in arms? Because he was playing soccer? The ban is gone with a while now. Welcome to the forum.

To be honest, I'd say Cluxton is mortified. He hates publicity

get aload of this HA ha you have to listen to the whole of it , some skit ,

I see we in Dublin have christened Cluxton bold actions "The Cluckinator"

On his actions it still seriously has no place in a charity game , i suppose there has been many inter county players around the county at some stage have let themselves down without thinking

Thats very witty

Horrible thing to do at a charity event

Kildare had 3 players on the 1923 “Dublin” all ireland winning team. Stanley, Burke and Stynes. Good to see we were spreading the goespel. Was talking to a lexlip man at the Sligo game and he told me about Stynes. So below is his wiki page – interesting story.
Joseph Andrew Stynes (15 January 1903–29 January 1991[1][2]) was an Irish Republican and a sportsman, excelling in particular at Gaelic football and soccer.

Stynes was born in Newbridge, County Kildare and attended Newbridge College, where he first played Gaelic football and hurling.[1] He moved to Dublin after World War I to find work.[3] He was sworn into the IRA in 1920 by Sean Lemass, joining "C" Company, 2nd battalion, Dublin brigade.[1] He was stewarding in Croke Park on Bloody Sunday 1920, while carrying concealed guns for the IRA.[3] When British security forces raided the ground, he dumped the guns and escaped over a wall.[3]

Stynes played Gaelic football for the McCracken's club on the Northside, then transferred to the elite O'Tooles club in February 1922.[4] He was an 'outstanding' forward[5] with 'rare qualities'.[6] He took the anti-Treaty side during the Irish Civil War, but managed to play several games for the Dublin senior football team while "on the run" from the Irish Free State authorities.[5] However, he missed Dublin's win in the 1922 All-Ireland final (played 7 October 1923) as by then he was interned in the Curragh Camp.[7][8] Major General Tom Ennis of the Irish Army, a former teammate of Stynes who took the pro-Treaty side, secured Stynes' availability for subsequent Dublin matches,[5] and he got a winner's medal for the 1923 final (played 28 September 1924), in which he scored the final two points.[9][8] He missed the 1924 final (played 26 April 1925) after being suspended by the GAA for breaching its ban on playing "foreign" games by playing soccer,[7] a game he had learnt while in the Curragh.[10]

While suspended from the GAA, he played League of Ireland soccer for amateur club Bohemians, where he scored 13 times in 28 appearances during 1925-26.[citation needed] In the Leinster Senior Cup final of 1926, he played well, but retired injured, as Bohs beat Shelbourne 2-1.[11] He also played semi-professionally for Shelbourne at a time when work was hard to find, partly because of his unpopular political views.[7]

In 1926, Stynes emigrated to the United States, settling in New York City,[12] where he worked as an accountant with Cartier jewelers.[12] He remained active in both North American GAA and emigrant Irish Republican groups. In later years, he returned annually to Ireland for the All Ireland football final in Dublin and political meetings in Northern Ireland.[12]

In May 1927, he played for a New York GAA side that beat the visiting All-Ireland champions, Kerry.[13] He regularly returned to visit Ireland, and represented America in football internationals against Ireland at the Tailteann Games in Dublin in both 1928[14] and 1932.[15] During his 1928 trip, he turned out once more for Dublin in their Leinster Final defeat to Kildare.[16] He also represented New York touring sides against Mayo in 1932[15] and Kerry in 1933.[17] In December 1932, he won a Dublin junior club title with Sean McDermotts.[18] He won New York state championships with Kildare in 1938[19] and with Kilkenny as late as 1947.[15] He also played on the New York hurling teams in 1943 and 1946.[20]

In 1938, Stynes signed on behalf of the American GAA an Irish-American petition for the release of Frank Ryan, the IRA leader imprisoned by Franco's Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War for fighting in the International Brigades.[21] In 1939, he was indicted and charged with attempting to bribe U.S. Customs officials while operating as an agent for the Irish Sweepstakes.[22] He was politically active in Clan na Gael, and after 1948 was leader of the few branches that had remained loyal to the rump of the IRA.[23] In 1949, Stynes supported a decision, which split the Clan, to use its funds for a monument in Dublin to Seán Russell rather than retaining them for a future IRA campaign.[24] After the decline of Clan na Gael, and the outbreak of the Northern Troubles, he was sympathetic to NORAID.[8] He sided with Republican Sinn Féin after its 1986 split from Provisional Sinn Féin, and in 1987 he co-founded the National Irish Freedom Committee (NIFC; Irish: Cumann Na Saoirse Náisiúnta) for its American supporters.[25][26]
He died at his home in Queens, New York.[1]

Fair Play to them.... Scrappy game but the gave as good as they got... Was a little surprised by The Cats today. They looked very laboured. Maybe Coady run the shit out of them this morning cause they look stuck to the ground. Still can't take anything away from the Dubs victory. Well done.

Well done to Dublin on winning the hurling today.
Kilkenny were fierce dirty, shouldn't have finished with even 14 men.
It's good to see a different county win it too.

fair play to them on there win but if they win the all ireland ill eat my micky!
