Lyng's goal on Sunday, better than Mulligan's 2005 effort?

mulligans goal was illegal

it was? Jeez I always thought that the ref gave it!

I think you're right about Giles, Canalman. I wasn't at that match, but I think I remember seeing that in the highlights on TV.

Anyway,I'm sure you'll all change your minds about the greatest goal of all time when I remind you (how could you forget) about a certain Mr. Foley. Comes top of the list in all categories - quality of move, number of players involved, awareness, impact on the game, number of consecutive passes, number of defenders beaten, impact on the history of the game, absence of any hint of foul on ball or man and execution. And did I mention impact?

You forgot one category Hardy - the overcarrying. Tommy Dowd took 6 steps (from memory  ) ....

Seriously though, referees are very reluctant to disallow goals for overcarrying. It seems they don't have the nerve to call the game back as the ball crashes to the net and the stadium explodes. Sean Cavanagh's goal v Dublin was an example. Fair enough, when lads are trying to escape from a challenge they do get the benefit of the doubt, but even with that consideration he way over-carried. And then there was the first Cork goal v Kerry in the drawn game, if I'm not mistaken ... and that's only in the last few weeks.

Now don't start me about john Fitzgibbon's winning "goal" in the 1990 Hurling Final ..!! And you're only allowed 3 steps in hurling!!

model watch the Tyrone dublin game again.......sean Cavanagh kicked his goal on his 7th step, with a ross hanging out of him for the last 5 of them!

I think thats called  'playing the advantage' by the ref
and is correct imo

[Over the Bar]

Very unlikely I would've - but in the cold light of analysis he fouled the ball...

In the cold light on analysis, which never applies in reality, the majority of championship goals would involve some indiscretion or other that could make them illegal.   e.g. Kerry whingers will forever say that that Seamus Darby's was illegal.

Has there been any other way when they are beaten?

10 years on from Mulligan's goal - it's still better 

[omaghjoe]

LOL are you telling me that Tony was at this 10years ago as well.

He's found of the coattails

mulligans goal was illegal

doesn't it show you how stupid some of the rules are when you have a ref here telling us it was illegal...thank god you were not in charge of that game...fussy p***k

You cannot throw the ball from one hand to the other. Yellow card for Maximus Dickamus

he didnt throw the ball from one hand to the other

fantastic and legitimate goal.

It was a brilliant goal because the referee allowed it, it should never have stood because it should have been deemed illegal based on his handling of the ball and the number of steps between solos.
