The greatest point of the modern era

Is there a clip of this Galway U21 Brazil-type point?

Off the top of my head:

Maurice Fitz as suggested above, also his first Munster Final (1988?) I seem to remember wondering who the beanpole scoring an amazing point was.

CmcD: Two points in 2006 AIF first half - bad day but fantastic scores
Derek Duggan: Equaliser 1991 Connacht Final
Eamon McEneaney (spelling?) 1985 AIF semi-final equaliser
Martin Daly Clare - back heel point
Sean O'Domhnaill 1998 Final (I know Galway men that told me they could never lose when SOD scored from 50 yards)
Sean Og De Paor 1998 after that run by Donnellan
Johnny McGurk v Dubs 1993 importance of the score and his taking responsibility
Tom Brewster v Armagh 2004 timing and importance
Gooch - any number of those taking on his man and making just a yard of space before hooking over with the left or right
Dessie Dolan - sideline from the 21 the day he missed from straight in front of the posts to beat Meath
Canavan - any number but that free v Armagh. One small step for Canavan one giant point for Tyrone
Steve O'Neill - any number of scores but a recent league opener v Dub from the end-line springs to mind
Larry Tomkins - 1987 a very long free in the last minute v Galway to equalise and another in the opening minutes of the 1989 final v Mayo from where Maurice Fitz scored with the left in 1997.

This might be it. Shane Walsh is a very talented lad but I the defending was poor enough here. Try that against Donegal in the senior championship.

Acouple of hurling points.

Joe Canning's behind the back hand pass.

Where did you see defending? There wasn't a single tackle.

They were meditating with Syfeen before the match.
You can hear them going "om" in that clip

Cheers Asal Mor. Yeah, both right about the defending. I'm amazed a Rossie didn't put him through the wire.

Jeez give the credit many a man couldn't do that round traffic cones

Young Shane does take a lot of out of the ball on occasion but I think he will grow out of that with experience. Only reason he does it though is because he is ridiculously comfortable on the ball and very confident in his skills. Will have to learn to move it on quicker though before someone decides to try and lamp him one some day. Would prefer to have a young lad with his natural skills and confidence though. The rest you can work on.

Wee James 1994. Celtic Park. All sorts of hoors hanging out of him for about 60 yards and he still manged to squeeze it over;=>......

Yeah he's an outstanding talent and I'd like to see Mullholland gamble on a few of these U-21s against Mayo rather than sticking with the old tried and not so trusted.It would be a surprise though, if he starts anyone other than O Curraoin.

Mickey Linden - second half All Ireland Final 1991.

Running towards canal end under  the hogan stand side. Duked one way then the other between two Meath lads, one of whom I think when on his hole, and duly converted. Sublime.

Yep, probably the most skillful one of all.

And took about 15 steps in the process!  Great score though
