C'mon guys did you really think that Johnny was going to step down?, stupid journalists asking him about his future directly after that devasting loss to Donegal, probably the last question he wanted to hear at the time.
He has 5 months to decide his future and its heavy odds on that Johnny will be playing for Kildare next year and probably the year after that and the year after that.
No doubt these cruel defeats hurt badly and might have taken its toll on other players to say enough is enough, but Kildare football is almost a home away from home for Johnny Doyle.
