Incredible Bryan sheehan points

[Donnellys Hollow]

Some kicks.

He missed a rake of scoreable frees for Mary's Cahirciveen in the Junior Final on Sunday though.

He did indeed. Were you down at it DH? They still had too much for Dromid. Declan needs a rest.

Was listening in on the wireless AZ. Poor enough fare according to anyone I've talked to since.

I wonder will the greatest player of his generation be tempted into making a comeback for a shot at the Munster title?

I'd say at 73 poor old Mick O'Connell is probably better off in the stand.

Mick O'Connell is a Valentia man. Why would he want to tog out for their rivals from the mainland?

Does he contribute much from play though?

Much like the criticism our own Maurice Sheridan in his day

grand lad Maurice , but did more from playin copper face jacks than he ever did on the pitch.

I hate to see Sheehan playing for kerry when I side against them - as I think he is superb from placed ball and does score/create from play too.
He does seem to go to pieces after getting a bit of rough treatment though. Still a fine player imo.

I was at a wedding down there on Saturday, and Maurice was at it. I was chatting him, but I don't think he's ready for a comeback, I think he was harshly treated there last year and he threw his hat at it.

I've often kicked frees from further out, against the wind and up a hill.

Yes but how wide were they?

Depends, are we talking International Rules again?

Some effin height he gets on those.

If he was lining out in a Mayo jersey would you care?  70 yards out, maybe more for the second one and the height he got with both was phenomenal

he said he kicked them, not that he scored them

Saw those kicks on that website last week --awesome height and length.

As someone else said though Vaughan's kicking is unreal too. I was in Parnell Park one night 2 years ago and he kicked a few from well outsie the 50 right on the sideline high over the bar --i dont like him from open play but i was left speechless --he did it not once, but twice without the aid of a wind on a still, dark evening.

Awesome skill to have.

The importance of a free taker cannot be overstated. It's the difference between winning and losing championship games as i'm sure we all know.

Men like Galvin, Vaughan and Oisin are like golddust

Dont be surprised to see Sheehan in goals for Kerry next year, he played underage goalie and it is a position they are struggling in.

Yep i have been saying that for some time! O'Connor v Dublin, Goulding v Down & Shine v Sligo are prime example's this year

Great stuff. Really glad I seen that, thanks for posting it.

Diarmuid Murphy was certainly a loss this year, a problem exacerbated by the fact neither of the two second-choice 'keepers who might have been seen as candidates to replace him in recent years, Ger Reidy and Kieran Cremin, were available this year. However IMO the problems with Brendan Kealy as number 1 were exaggerated.

Due to the situation he is a young goalkeeper who was parachuted in for his first season. He is an excellent shot-stopper but certainly has work to do on high balls and distribution with both seeming shaky at times during the year. The latter two faults were exaggerated at times in my opinion though. For instance, people pointed to the goal scored by Goulding of Cork with the high ball - in fact Kealy secured the ball only to be dispossessed illegally by pulling the ball from his grasp. Again, an example which was given for distribution was Galvin of Limerick scoring after dispossessing Séamus Scanlon from a short kick-out. I would say this one was more Scanlon's fault than Kealy's.  The goalkeeping position is not the area of strength it was for Kerry, but their situation isn't as quite parlous as some have made out.
