Yep. McCartan played in the full forward line for Coleman's and Down. He was always marked by Kieran McKeever when they played Derry and he was never one to stray too far from goal.

Some good scores there. None better than Eamon Burns with outside of the boot. Also, check out the scandalous free given to Down in injury time from which Ross Carr leveled the game. The rest as they say is history...

Derry have a habit of giving away stupid freekicks - I remember Henry downey chopping down paddy mckeever to give away a free in 1999 which proved costly in the ulster semi final

Regal,

Thats a very big bit of bait on your hook there. Its very hard not to bite. You will go a long way to find a better example of a "shoulder" tackle.

Yes, only joking. a dubious free kick to say the least.
