David Clifford

[tonto1888]

Clifford scores at will against any opposition.

Woeful against Armagh last year, poor against Tyrone and Dublin the year before as well.

False narrative
2023 Vs Dublin - He scored 0-3, Set up Geaney's goal with a piece of magic, was involved in a few other scores and kicked a few wides.
2023 Vs Tyrone - He scored 0-5, involved in another couple of scores and another piece of magic for Sean O'Sheas goal.
2024 League - 0-5 vs Mayo, 0-8 v Tyrone, 0-6 v Roscommon,

1 point from play. It's easy to rack up scores when you're the designated free taker.

One from a mark which was a brilliant catch, how many of the free's did he win himself?
A piece of magic for the goal. Directly set up 0-3, involved in a few others.
Hit the post twice and Morgan pulled off a brilliant save at the end for a goal chance.
So scored 0-5, set up goal and 3 points, before going any further. A brilliant contribution - he's judged differently.

he certainly is judged differently. I never get the "only scored one from play" argument anyway. Do frees not count? Frees still need to be scored also

He's judged differently because of the effusive coverage he gets. He also gets shielded from criticism that the vast majority of other players would receive.

Was very pumped up today


I blame Stewartstown!

I'm 55 and he is along with canavan and connelly one of the 3 best players I have had the pleasure of watching

I agree though you spelt Cooper as Connelly for some strange reason.

Too young to remember Frank?.. The King

Maurice fitz would be top of the tree for me in terms of natural talent, closely  followed by Clifford, Canavan and the Gooch

[SCFC]

For me, Fitzgerald was the best I've ever seen, then Clifford.
Caravan, Matt Connor and Connolly round out my top 5.

Kevin O'Brien up there as well.

Maurice Fitzgerald  for me too. Just so graceful , beautiful to watch 

Clifford is a fantastic player, as was Peter 'Caravan'   and Cooper.

[rodney trotter]

Fitzgerald was the only player i remember taking frees off the ground from either foot. In the modern game Shane Walsh does it, but he overcomplicates things at times.
