Score of 2008

[corn02]

For the love of me I am trying to remember a better point. Gegarthy's efforts and Fitz in Tralee are pushing it, but there are not too many better.What else is there. 98 final?

[Onion Bag]

Eh, Corn, the the thread is score of 2008, any scores scored other than this season dont count 

[corn02]

Ha I know, just adding a new angle to it.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Would have to Dooher's point all right, one of those almost surreal scores that suffuses the scorer's team with the irrepressible belief that they cannot be bettered on the day. A few honourable mentions for the same player against Dublin too.

Dooher's was pretty good alright.

Best score I saw in person this year was a point by Ronan Clarke off the outside of his right foot from about 45 yards out in the first half against Down. It was Maurice Fitzesque.

Ah lads, a bit of balance please. Shur there was a score in the very same game that was nearly as good, there in the second half. Who was it now ..... oh yeah, Brian Dooher. Any relation I wonder?

And now that I'm here, Matty Forde's winning point against Meath was a bit special under the circumstances, considering most lads would have been tempted to carry the ball in another 15 yards before attempting the shot. Oh, and for the sight of the two Meath lads colliding into each other in their desperation to get to him before he received the pass ......

Dooher's point in the All-Ireland Final was unbelieveable and stands out to me as point of the year.

Goal of the year, without a doubt, was Lyng's goal against Tyrone.

[SidelineKick]

Forde's goal against Armagh was memorable as well, taditional football yet calculated high ball in.  Caught and finished very well.

Lyng's was a great finish all right. Joe Mc Mahon's against Dublin wasn't half-bad either -- he himself started it off on his own full-back line, and as the ball was slickly exchanged up the left channel he made his way to the square where he collected an exquisite pass from Tommy Mc Guigan's left peg to bury it in the top right hand corner; that was the goal that terminally killed off Dublin's aspirational resurgence. Tommy Walsh netted a couple of gems too.

Just watched that the other day myself, fantastic off the ball movement, too mnay players don't think during a game. He knew exactly what he was at.  Question is, where was his man?!

He was thinking of the semi!

Tómas O'Se's point against Derry in NFL Final was unbelievable.  It was going wide by a mile and gradually came round.  Hit it from the right hand side, with the inside of his right foot.  Quality score.  TV wouldn't do it justice.

[Puckoon]

Hardy is spot on. Most people watching dooher in that sequence probably thought he was going down a blind alley and wondering what he was going to do when he had to turn back.

Then bam. Yer mans in the dust and the balls over the bar and Dooher is wheezing his way out to midfield again.

[Croí na hÉireann]

doohers point was truly special he is a hardy fcuker, what height would he be? There were also a lot of great scores in the kerry galway match in truly atrocious conditions

While the run and point were unreal, I object to calling him a "hardy fcuker", what with his flailing around all summer. My scores of the year would be:

Point Football: Dooher's against Kerry
Goal Football: Joe McMahon's against Dublin
Point Hurling: Eoin McGrath against Wexford (I think, in the right full corner, hit it over his shoulder running away from goal)
Goal Hurling: Joe Canning's against Tipp

From a WH perspective you have Dessie's point against Offaly, similar to Dooher's without the lung bursting run up the sideline and Nachie's goal against the Dubs, great delivery by O'Donoghue and even better finish.
