with the week thats in it just wondering what are the other posters favourites scores against the dubs, mine in no particular order are
1) Ciaran Mac's point in the 2006 AI semi to win the match, what a score oh the memories
2) Maurice Fitz's wonderscore in the 2001 Qualifers
3) Mugsy's goal in the 2005 AI Qualifer
Question is who will silence the hill this sunday ;)
Mike Sheehy's chipped free over Paddy Cullen in 78. Tee Hee
I love the "triumpalist" talk of "silencing the hill" on these threads.
In fairness what set of fans wouldnt be quiet at moments like that?
For a combination of timing, occasion and pressure I'd have to give credit to Cian Ward this year.
Some kick.
AISF 1993 Johnny McGurk's left footed point to win the game. Awesome!!!!

Mulligans goal in 2005 but I suppose that was because I am a tyrone supporter and was there to witness it!It was some goal.Two sweet dummys and what about the finish. :)

In fairness its probably the best score I have witnessed in person against the Dubs.
The p***k >:(
ciaran mc's point from the sideline in last year ai semi was some point as well as the last one he scored,watched the match on dvd again last night some match great day. Have to say that the dubs are some of the Soundest supporters around enjoyed the pints with them after the match.

Interesting point about the whole Dubs / soccer fans argument is the proportion of non Dubs regularly posting of the Man Utd and Liverpool threads displaying a good deal on knowledge on the subject.
I've no issue with people supporting both sports, but I have noticed a few people (not you Uladh) slagging the dubs for being soccer fans while declaring their love for english teams in the non GAA section.
Laoislad is a great defender of supporting both and declares his love for Liverpool regularly, then slags Dublin fans saying they are like soccer fans. I cant work this logic out at all.
Strange.

Anywho back to the topic of the thread,My favourite Laois score against Dublin would be any score we get against them,but if i was to pick one i would say Padraic Clancys point from play from at least over 50 yards in the 2003 Leinster Semi Final
I seem to remember a savage point scored by that big ginger midfielder Clancy from Laois in the 2003 Leinster Final - caught the ball from his own kick-out, soloed it and let fly from over 50 yards out right over the black spot

Big McGilligan got one the same day- any time Brian McGilligan scored was a collectors item.
Also have to say Eoin Mulligans goal was superb for many reasons - the atmosphere in croker that day, the skill , timing and the execution of it.
I never saw that :D

Any scores against Dublin is something special. Scores into Hill 16 are something which brings great joy to the remaining 31 counties, plus London and New York.
For me, Mulligan's goal in the 2005 AI 1/4 Final was that little bit special, though I could be biased on that ;)

If we're talking about "silencing the hill" then Mugsy's goal in the 2005 quarter final replay is a better call than his great goal in the first game ;D The Dubs had just hit 5 points in quick succession to close to just a goal behind and there was some noise in Croker with the momentum suddenly very much with Dublin. Then Big Sean made an interception, galloped forward and passed to Mugsy who used his backside to get a couple of Dubs defenders out of his way then slotted it past Cluxton...then just walked in front of the Hill glaring at them, brilliant :D :D

Nope 6
For me as a Kildare man it has to bee the 2000 leinster final replay, 5 points down at half time to the dubs and hitting them with two goals by Earley and Fennin to take the lead and go on to win and yes silence the hill ;D

True! The goal in the first game is for me the best goal ever in Croke Park. But for timing and significance, the one in the replay gets it. The Dubs were definitely in the ascendency until this point. The Eric Cantona-esque strut to the hill was amazing!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwV4ZCITrnc
After his second toe-tap he caught the ball with his right hand. Changed it to his left hand and dummied the defender by showing him the ball. All ok so far, but then he changed it back to his right hand to bounce. So he changed hands twice between the toe-tap and the bounce which is a foul.
QuoteDoes that include the solo?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwV4ZCITrnc
The first dummy was a rock solid "changing of hands" ..I dont know how anybody can argue with that. He "presented" it to the defender with is left hand and then clearly transferred it to his right before bouncing it.
For the second dummy he does the same thing but it's less clear from the clip as the camera zooms out and the transfer from one hand to the other is more fluid but it definitely was a change of hands also.
If he had simply hopped it with his left hand after doing the dummy, caught it with both hands then dropped it for the solo using his right hand then that would have been ok, I assume, and could not be regarded as changing hands.
His mistake was not combining the dummy with the hop. If he was from Kerry he would probably have pulled it off but is clearly lacking the necessary skills :D
Still, he got away with it and thats all that matters I suppose.

That was gonna be my choice too. Savage score.
Cosgrove hitting the post in '02.
As good as a score! ;D
Not a spectular score but McGranes point v dublin in the 2003 qualifier, was one of those "we have you now" scores.
Great second half performance.
When you look at it there are some amazing scores for me it would have to be....
1- M Fitz point in Thurles - the time in the game, the distance, the angle, Carr shouting in his ear, he stood up and took it as if it was a training session, a genius, my fav score of all time.
2- Sheehy goal in 1978 - another genius, the thinking behind it, Cullen ran back into the goal like a woman who realised that she had left the cooker on (or words to that effect from the mighty Micheal), my sec fav score of all time
3- Mugsys goal - the greatest goal of this millennium at a minimum
4- Ciaran Mc point - the best score of the greatest game of this millennium
5- Foley's goal in 1991 - I'll never forget standing on the steps of Hogan watching Meath literally cutting the Dubs apart as they moved up the field, a great move in its own right, but the significance and timing were massive.
6- Mc Guirk point in 1993 - I think the most amazing thing about this one is that most Doire fans would have been willing him to pass to one of the two lethal corner forwards as wee Johnny was not renowned for his shooting ability!
Don't remember Brogan's goal in 1985, but there are some amazing scores from some great games, thanks for the memories

Kicked 1-7 in the next game, MOTM (even though McGuigan should have got it) against Kerry in the final and sure he scored a few goals last year as well against Laois IIRC. This year he was shite, had the worst game I've seen anyone play against Meath and still scored something like 1-1. Weird player, great when he's on form.

I would say this anyway but Mulligans will NEVE be bettered.
Those who laugh at Dubs and call them paranoid about a so called persecution complex might want to explain where the "favourite score against Kerry" or "favourite score against Armagh" etc etc threads are.

It's quite simple. If you enjoy seeing pain, anguish and complete despair and desolation on the faces of the Hill 16 denizens (and lets face it, who doesn't) then there is one score (well technically 2) that stand head and shoulders above the rest and that's the Foley/Beggy combo. The perfect end to a monumental saga which saw Good triumph over Evil (just like '96 ;)). It dominated the '91 football season to the extent that to this day no one is really sure who actually won the All-Ireland (I think it was Roscommon).
QuoteWhy would you say that mike sheehy?
Because the signature at the bottom of his posts say "All Ireland champions 2006 & 2007"
Just a few points about Muligan's goal in 2005. I was in Hogan stand level with the 21 yard line on the Canal End goal and had a great view of goal.
1 The goal looked alot better on the TV
2 The goal was always on when Mulligan slipped Paddy Christie creating a 4 on 2 overlap and momentum forward..
3 Mulligan's jinxes were created as a result of the 2 man overlap on the inside and imo in particular the brilliant off the ball running of Stephen O'Neill.
4 The Dublin backs were made look particularly silly as the tv coverage never showed the overlaps inside.
Only a slight quibble on what was a very well taken goal.
Just wanted to defend the Dublin backs who in any event were never slated by the Dublin fans who knew exactly what happened.
The goal Paddy McKeever threw into the net into 02. Although it didn't really have much impact on the game since it was immediately cancelled out.

I never bought into the hype surrounding Mulligans goal for some reason. Something not quite right about it! ???
I too was at the game and new immediately that Id witnessed a special goal. Anybody who disputes the quaity of that goal needs their head seen to. If there's been a better goal in croke park I havent seen it. The importance of that goal in terms of that 2005 championship cant be overstated.
I think it was the fact that the Dublin defenders were doing star jumps. Looked very undignified. Sure thats the Dubs for you I s'pose. Fayser would never have bought it.
I'm surprised none of the Offaly boys here have mentioned Matt's goal in the 1980 Leinster final.
Lads, the fact that it's the Meath, Armagh and Kerry contingent on this thread that can't bring
themselves to admit Mulligans goal was indeed one of the best witnessed in Croke park tells
me just one thing, that it was just that :P ;D

You'll find that, good and all as Mulligan's goal was (and it was quality), Foley's goal, that was on TV tonight, coupled with Beggy's winning point from the kickout, tops all others. The perfect end to a remarkable tie.

I haven't read through the whole debate so may have missed another strong contender - Padraic Brogans burst through the middle and placement / bullet of a shot into, into the top corner.
Won goal of the season that year - some strike
1985 blast, super goal, my favourite of all time
Best goal ever scored at HQ
