some tough tackles there, the 80`s when men were men!! not a wonder the old timers cringe about players today, when a stiff breeze would blow then over!!

Connor scored the first 1-3 in that game for Offaly his second one with the outside of the boot was a beaut.

Start of the second-half , Mick O'Heir

'And there is the ball.......................at the feet of the referee'

Mick O'Heir

'Well Matt Connor has scored 300 and, sorry 3-17 in this campaign and now this is his 300, sorry again, third score of the game.............. He scores that many times you swear he has scored 300'. Pure class

[Wildweasel74]

no such thing as zone fouling either to pin teams in

[boojangles]

Standard of catching top class. Standard of kicking pure shite. The amount of times so called legends gave the ball away was shocking. Drop kicks seemed to be very prevalent too. Funny old game back then!

[Mid Down Gael]

Matt Connor was an unbelievable player. One of the greats. His scores in that game where sublime.

Lowry nearly maimed Seanie Walsh...did he even get a yella??

[theticklemister]

No yellas in them days................. but I dont think he even got a talking too!!!!

Fair challenge in them days, it was a pure 50/50

Just watching that Kerry Dublin game tonight, and one thing is clear: Kerry didn't have to beat a lot to win an AI those days. Dublin were shocking, almost to a man.

Spillane was about 10 years ahead of the rest in how he played football.

[Rossfan]

That '84 game must have been the worst All Ireland Final of the last 50 years

[5 Sams]

Best part of was Mick Holden telling Barney Rock to get up of his hole and stop playacting!!

[thewobbler]

Agreed 5 Sams.

Rock ran away wearing that 'please stop picking on me' face, as seen over the years on so many fellas getting chewed out by the club psycho.
