Connolly is a fantastic player. That shouldn't be in doubt. His position in the all time greats list will only ever be opinion. Let's be honest, none of us are on a position to say one way or the other really

Nonsense. We have eyes.

I imagine you do just like I imagine the same eyes won't have seen the players from 60/70 years ago

We just need to stop replying to him. It's the only answer. Ignore function and please don't quote his posts.

Dermot Connolly is a fantastically gifted player. He has power, perception and scoring ability and you wouldn't doubt his bravery. What he lacks at times is temperament. He will probably be listed as one of the most gifted players ever but in Snooker terms will be a Hurricane Higgins rather than a Stephen Hendry. Personally, I wouldn't have minded being either.
I agree with you, he's all that and more.
Frustrated with the hurling, Diarmuid will be making himself available for the Irish rugby team in the upcoming 6 nations championship.

If there was ever a moment of ironic salvation in the GAA, it was Diarmuid Connolly calling for calm after winning the free that was just about to win Dublin the All-Ireland, after being banned for most of the Summer for needlessly losing the head over a sideline ball in  Carlow.

maybe a lesson to be learned for Roscommon manager if he is interested in getting the best players in the county back on the panel.

or maybe its only leopard players who change spots, leopard manager maybe paid too much to

Stop trying to continually distract from the uncomfortable truths about Dublin.

Its better then the uncomfortable truth of your alleged "footballers" being embarrassed in Croke Park.....again

Diarmuid Connolly is one of the greatest players the game has ever seen and he doesn't need to justify his existence to you or anybody else here who quite frankly aren't good enough to even stand in his shadow

What's that got to do with the topic in hand ?

Nothing

A supremely gifted and talented player but nowhere near one of the greatest of all time.
The best are usually considered the best because they have the complete package which would include temperament, character, reliability etc and unfortunately Connolly has shown to be lacking in a few of these areas in recent years. The best can also usually be relied upon 9 times out of 10 to perform to a level and where they can be the difference between winning and losing.

A supremely gifted footballer but a heck of a way to go before being considered one of the greatest of all time.

I'm sorry, but that's claptrap. Connolly is right up there as one of the greats of the modern era. The temperament line is always brought up, there's plenty of the all time greats had a fair bit of devilment in the locker
