David Clifford to surpass the Gooch?

[mrdeeds]

Seems David is an excellent golfer too.

[seafoid]

The Gooch played with better forwards and beat Mayo and Cork for 80% of his all Irelands. He also played fewer matches per season.

Austin Stacks Fossa IFC semi-final has been some game. 0-21 each. David Clifford scored an incredible point to take it to penalties here.

[clarshack]

Fossa win 3-2 on pens.

Unreal player, best that has ever played.

Matt Connor was actually 26 when he was in a car accident Christmas 84, think he was the nfl top scorer for, 5/6 straight seasons.He was the only player I held above Clifford but even though Clifford was poor on Sunday he already at this level if not now above it.

Matt Connor said himself in a interview that he was 25 at the time of the car accident and 24 for his last championship game for Offaly.

Is it really that good of a point? Ball gets threw to him for the kick as well. Didn't even try to hand pass.

It was a good point but not out of this world.
However I think the game situation adds a lot of context - it was in injury time in the second half of extra-time.
From the reports I've seen it was a fiercely competitive game throughout.
Also I'm not sure what the weather was like in Killarney yesterday but if it was anything like where I was - it was likely hot and humid possibly with thundershowers - just horrible conditions for playing ball. Throw in the fact that he had already scored 12 point up to then 9 of them from play.
Also from what I know of Kerry club football this is the equivalent of David beating Goliath or a Division 4 intercounty team beating the likes of Kerry or Dublin.
Stacks have won the most county championships in Kerry and Fossa have never won anything prior to the Cliffords.

I think I give plenty of credit to the lad, Dr Crokes about 2/3 mile down the road and he stuck playing with what was a Junior fball team. I seen so many others transfer .

[Rossfan]

No need to in Kerry, you get to play Senior with an area team.

[Wildweasel74]

But never win a senior all-Ireland club. He could with the club down the road.

[Rossfan]

I'd say he'll get by without one of them
He's already won a Junior one with his OWN CLUB, and will likely win an Inter one as well.
He could join Kilmacud if he really wants a Senior one.

But never win a senior all-Ireland club. He could with the club down the road.

Since 1996 only one Kerry Club has won a Senior Club All Ireland Final.

That's one title in 27 years.


Playing for a Kerry Senior club does not guaranteed AI club success.
