good man, almost forgot about this. some great ones, some heart breakers too.
Some goal by McGee in Parnell Park today!
will you go away juice what about the number one goal ;D. Thats the first time I've watched it since. I don't think I've ever been as depressed after a game.

Did it feature at all?
Best goal I seen in flesh was probably Stevie O'Neill v Mayo in 2004, peach of an effort with the outside of the left to the far top corner. Took about 13 steps though. Armagh hit a few gems against Donegal in the Ulster final against Donegal that year too, McKeever and Oisin I think. Eoin Bradley's v Down in Newry a year or two ago also stands out. Maybe Donncha Walsh's against derry in the NFL final in Parnell last year too, awesome catch from Donaghy to make it.
Any Mayo goals in it?
In fairness, no way could you consider Canavan's '05 AIF goal above those of Mulligan in that year, or the Meehan goal from 2000, Galway's build up and the finish for that one was something else. The top two were merited though, as much for their significance as the quality of the goal itself. And O'Hara got into the top ten, what memories of that day....
Only seen patches of it, was Ray McCarron's goal against Cavan in 93 in there anywhere?
Thought it wasn't that well put together. A lot of the goals were in there because of their significance rather than their individual class. A good few were very ordinary. With my Derry tinted specs, I couldn't believe that Skinner's 2005 peach against Down only merited 43rd or something like that. It was a flash of individual brilliance and if it had happened in croker rather than the marshes it would definitely been further up the rankings.
If significance was the criteria, then the Darby goal should have been number 1 rather than 2. No way you can compare a provincial game (even after a marathon of replays) to stopping Kerry's 5 in a row and winning the all-ireland in the same instant. Truly an iconic moment!

Just seen the top 25 and have to agree a few goals here there because of their match importance and not the quality of goal. Though mugsy goal would have being higher than fifth but with two tyrone goals in the top five a good return.
Shit, I missed this, will it be on the website??
Or maybe Irish Torrents??

Heard tonight that Padraig Brogan's goal was on it. I'm raging - I've never seen that goal, for a variety of reasons, and I always thought the tape was wiped. If anyone is capable of putting it on You Tube, you'd make an old man very happy.
You don't want to see it Iolar. The celebration is too embarrassing. Think Seamus Darby but without the grace, finesse and delicacy of movement.
Ciaran McCabe's goal in Celtic Park,94 for Down against Derry definitely should have been in the top 50.It would have been a great goal at any time,but this goal beat Derry in one of the greatest games ever seen,and sent Down on their way to the All-Ireland.
IMO there were a few too many blast-it-in-the-direction-of-the-goal type efforts that were obviously supposed to be efforts at points but through pure blind luck (you make your own I know) they went into the next.
It's always dificult when compiling lists that this cause the hardest point is to gain concensus on is what the definition of a "great" anything should be. Is a great goal one which was from a long way out? Had a lot of individual skill involved? Was a great team effort? Was vital in terms of the ourcome of the game? Was scored in the last few seconds?
Fair play to TG4 for having a stab at it anyway. Better to have a top 50 goals show that I don't agree with 100% than no show at all :)
