[StPatsAbu]

Like the tight game in 2016 AIF when a point down in the dying seconds from 40 yards out the field .

Cillian O'Connor has played in 5 All Ireland finals (replays inclusive)

2012 - no points from play
2013 - no points from play
2016 - 2 points from play
2016 replay - no points from play
2017 - 3 points from play

Telling.

Sure peter canavan only scored one point from play in the 1995 all Ireland final and blew a great chance for Tyrone to steal a draw when he handled the balll on the ground with Tyrone in a great position.

He more than made up for it bagging 2 all irelands while London have won more silverware than Derry in the past 20 years.....

I wouldn't expect a Derryman to be honest.

Which part wasn't he honest about? Canavan scored 11 that day. 10 of which were frees

Let's use this criteria on someone like peter canavan. He played in 3 all Ireland finals and scored a total of 1.2 from play. Very telling. I think based on Angelo's criteria I think we can remove canavan's name from the list of great forwards over the last few decades.

Obviously didn't think it through

In a truly odd thread, perhaps the oddest thing of all is that 3 weeks ago our WUM in chief wouldn't have known who Tommy Conroy was if he found him sat on his head. Yet after a game in which Cillian scored 4.09, Angelo saw enough to portray the youngster as a better footballer.

A pity COC went missing after the first 20 minutes.

A bit like your prediction of no score from play, that went after 2 minutes.. who top scored yesterday?

Ah, frees don't count.. didn't realise games were won on from scores from play only!

Been ref'ing for a number of years, when did that change?

Canavan from play in his 3 all Ireland finals - 0.1,  0.0 and 1.1. Pretty poor. We now all realise under the new criteria for ranking forwards that he was a very average player.

He didn't win any of the frees.

Most of them were tap overs. Also missed a fairly gettable one in the first half.

He top scored and I'm nearly sure that means he scored the most, making him top scorer. Convinced he won a mark or two.

Very similar performance to canavan in 1995 then where he scored only one point from play. Only one of his frees came from a foul on him. Most of his frees were handy enough tap overs. He also messed up the chance of getting a draw by panicking and handling the ball on the ground. He also missed a free late on which would've given them a draw. All in all, using your own criteria he was an average enough forward.

Nice revisionism there.

All you are doing is distorting reality.

Using my criteria, Canavan is the GOAT.

A match winning 1-01 (injury plagued at 34) from play in 50 minutes or so on the pitch as a final swansong proves it.

You must be still sore from when he carried a 13 man Tyrone to knock Derry out of the Championship.
