David Clifford

[rrhf]

Clifford in his short time is becoming one of the greats. Unmarkable and outstanding display today.

Fine player.. could end up as one of the best

[Milltown Row2]

Derry made it easy by not having someone in front of him, like Tyrone did.

And how did that workout?

Another weekend for David Clifford.

Won his 5th All Star
Won his 2nd POTY
Scored 0-12 in county final

He will also get a good break now, which should benefit him hugely in the long term.

The way Tyrone played him was right, let the other Kerry players win the game if they were good enough, Dublin showed in the final that only O'Shea, and Clifford 2, could provide support. Derry failing was a average sub bench up front, and 2 starting forwards never bringing anything in the scoring dept up front. If Derry don't remedy this, it be the same again nxt year.

Incorrect... Our 'failing' after, winning back to back Ulster's, was 2 fine footballers taking the wrong options at key moments in the home stretch against Kerry.

Failing to beat Kerry, don't think it was meant as a dig tbh.

thats some going

I was watching the highlights of that intermediate final last night. Tbh they should be kicking themselves losing that as the boy who did that run at the end to setup the opposition goal should never have got away with the run he did. Not that I support Fossa but you would almost want to see a boy like that win the full complement of medals - junior , intermediate and senior.

Clifford scored 0-5 (3f and 1m) against Tyrone. Think he had another 5 shots at goal. He hit one off the post that he should've scored, and had another correctly ruled out by hawk eye (over the post), though again he should really have scored.  He'd another 3 shots, two wide and one dropped short. And off the two wides, you'd actually expect him to score, even if they were from more difficult angles. The one that dropped short was very poor. 
If he had knocked over the two easy ones, and Clifford walked away with 7pts, (3 from play) would you have said that Tyrone played him right, including his overall contribution during the game?

[Armagh18]

Just remember him that day not being at his best. (An off day for him is 5* performance for most forwards) But he had that unreal but of skill out on the sideline to create the goal

[Goals_Will_Come]

Is Conor Glass the most impactful player in the GAA? Not a better player but more impactful on his team.
Is his contribution to Glen and Derry greater than what Clifford has brought to Kerry and Fossa?
