Examples of the highest skill levels in the all Ireland final

[seafoid]

As a Galway fan I would suggest sidelines over the bar from Ja Fallon

and Joe Canning (it is a bit like watching golf)

or Donnellan's fág an bealach solo runs

but that would be biased.

The Conor Gormley  block in 2003.

The ball in to Darby in 1982.

What else ?

[Ethan Tremblay]

Michaels Murphy's goal 2012, simple full forward play

[AZOffaly]

Peter Canavan's finish in 2005, or 2008? The lay off from Mulligan and the slide rule finish into the corner. I thought that exemplified Canavan in one moment.

Had Manus stuck it in the net instead of off the bar and over, Donegal's move that led to the fourth point in the '92 final. Rambo gathers the break in his own parallelogram, launches a 70m kick up the right wing, Declan Bonner jumps and collects the bouncing ball perfectly, lays it off to Molloy who hits his legendary 40 yards fist pass to Tony Boyle; Tony skins Hargan and plays it across to Manus, who somehow blasts it off the bar and over.

That was when we knew....

About 3:45 in...

Connolly's point in this year All Ireland final was pure class.

"I was so devastated that I took a taxi down to Belgrove Square and I sat on a seat all night. Pondering what we had to do win." – Brian McEniff on the 1983 All-Ireland semi-final loss to Galway

It obviously worked !

[magpie seanie]

Dessie Farrell getting very soft penalty after lifting the ball clean off the ground! Lads tried to keep playing when they were being fouled. Maybe the new boots lads wear are slippy.

That was a sickener all right. I was very young, but that late, flukey Daly goal...

Wonder how that 83 final would have unfolded had WE made it.

Weren't Mullins and Talty supposed to be best mates?

It's amazing to look back in that now.

Canning and O'Rourke miss both Dessie's clean lift off the ground AND Noel Hegarty's shove to his chest as he shot!

As good and clever as Mickey Sheehys goal on Paddy Cullen but never gets the accolades!

It was but unfortunately for Barney, it's overshadowed by all the other crap that went on in that game.
