Colm Coyle was the thinking man's hallion.

His 'performance' in the 96 final merits automatic inclusion.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that pesky umpire.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Jesus that's a formidable outfit.  Not a white boot or a metatarsal in sight.

Jinxy

Zero knee cartilage between the whole lot of them.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

No place for Paidi? No hardier bucko than him.

Jinxy

Honourable mention for the attempted murder of Mickey Ned O'Sullivan by several Dublin defenders in 1975.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Early in the 2nd half of nemo and castlehaven. Castlehaven leading 4 points to no score...Sounds truly awful

The modern football era can be divided into two periods, pre and post Jimmy McGuinness.
What we thought was puke football was actually nothing of the kind.
I'd love to get back to the noughties-era football.
The rubicon was crossed in 2002 if not 03

The 2003 semi was the watershed moment. Kerry copied the style in 2004, and it went from there.

90's football was a great era. 8 different AI winners in 9 years, with a few underdog provincial wins too.
