Ah to be honest I consider points form open play to be of a higher quality than from dead balls. Hitting a free is no better than being a golfer.
Gooch v Cork a few years back in a Munster semi. I think Anthony Lynch was marking him.
Also this

Dooher's v Kerry was good but this one wins for me all the time.
From 3.25 onwards.

PS. Ross Carr threw the ball before that last free which also was not a free.

Michael Donnellan racing the length of the field from his own full back line and finished off by Sean og de Paor.
Magic!!

have a good one from Tohill on video from a league game in Navan. Not much style about it, but he scored it from 5m from the 65m in the derry half wind assisted. Cleared the bar with about 5m to spare. Reckon it was about 80m out
Cluxton's last minute free to bate Kerry in the AIF in 2011 took some guts.

Maurice Fitz was more closely marked and more trash talked for that sideline kick than for any point he scored from play. Also, as the crow flies he was 70 yards from goal.
It wasn't his most impressive sideline kick display, one game I saw him playing for UCC I saw him score 4 sideline kicks, two with his left and two with his right.
Eamon McEnaney's point v Kerry in 1985 always sticks in my mind. He was about 30 out back then. I think he's 65 out now.

Also, Maurice Fitzgerald v Dublin 01, Paul McGrane v Tyrone in 05, Ciaran McDonald v Dublin 06, Martin McHugh v Cavan 92, Johnny McGurk v Dublin 93, McConville v Dr Crokes 07. All were big big scores.

The funny thing is that a lot of people would think they were lucky points.
Little do they know that kids are taught how to bounce the ball over the bar from long range at an early age in Meath.
I think the best point I ever saw was Fitzgerald's from the line, that was jaw dropping.
Mulligan's goal was as good a goal as has been scored in the noughties.

If we're talking goals nothing comes close to Karol Mannion's Connacht-winning goal for Brigids in 2006 for me, it wasn't one of those fluke points-that-dropped-short goals, he actually meant to go for goal and that he did it in the last gasps of a Connacht final - his club's first - only enhances it.
Derry s Eamon Burns against down in Newry - early 90,s - wasnt from far out but the skill to get into position and score with the outside of the foot - brilliant.

Watched that point again. It had pele esque resonances . For 1 moment I was transported to the 1970 World Cup some posh English commentary and sweaty South America
Yet to see it on a clip but Paul Barden of Longford v Down in AIQ in 2003 or thereabouts.
Got the ball in his own square and soloed, jinked, dodged, dummied and ran the length of the field and slotted it over the bar.
Wonderful - even the Down supporters cheered.

Correction, as long as you walk it into the Goal! :P
No straight men any more.
I once scored a point from about 130 metres from the oppositions goal.
It was a deflected clearance off the forwards head, but surely its still counts.
Stephen ONeill scored a gem against Dublin in the 125th anniversary game in the second half, under the cusack stand , near canal end.
Also thought Ciaran McDonald's great point against Dublin in 2006 was a thing of beauty.

Eamonn was dogged with injury around 98/99 until the remainder of his career. If i mind right he came back around the early 2000s again but injury ravaged him.
He was one of the best underage footballers in Derry and at St.Pat's Maghera were he won a couple of hogan cups and was selected in the all-time colleges team at half forward. He has ulster senior, u-21 and minor championships including an all-ireland.
He topped scored I think for screen in the derry championship a couple of years. My stat books are all at home!!!
He is now teaching at St.Columb's College, Derry were he coaches the senior GAA team there.
Lovely fella. He has great time for the GAA still. Great gael.

Derek Duggan of Roscommon in the 1991 Connacht final against Mayo. His team were a point behind, deep into injury-time, he was 65 yards out, a stiff breeze in his face, the ball was heavy from all the rain that day, and on top of all that, he was only 19. And yet he nailed it. It didn't just go over, it kept going and hit the top end of the protective netting which was a good bit back behind the goals. It's one of the best scores ever in championship football.

Burns was on the greatest minor team I ever saw in 1989. Himself, Tohill, Dermot Heaney, Gary Coleman among others were on a team that destroyed Armagh in Clones in the Ulster Final. There was one player,however,on that team that was probably the most talented of them all but never made it and that was Eunan O'Kane. A serious forward and I think he bagged at least 1 goal that day and a few points. First time I saw him was in a Rannafast semi in Coalisland and he was unplayable that day.

That would be the extra time score when we had the game already thrown away. Some good Solo running by Walsh but without a much of challenge coming in though the score by Burke was good one.
The game before it Galways minor Michael Daly (son of Val) scored a better point IMO.

Was behind the goal that day & on my way out of the ground. One of the best scores/frees i have ever seen.

Actually that was a great era of high fielders. Padden, McHale & Kilgallon for Mayo, Newton, Killoran & Paul Early inside for Ros.
Some brilliant Mayo Ros clashes back in those days - we only had to turn up in 85 after beating galway in tuam and were soundly beaten 2-11 to 0-8, did Noel Durkan from ballaghdereen get one of the goals. Mayo had brendan lowry playing that day too, i think it was the weekend of the liveaid concerts if i remember correctly. that day will always be remembered for the mayo lads chairing dermot earley off the field. Then in 86 the roles were reversed, mayo hot favourites and a vintage performance fromTony Mc saw us home. A monaghan man Tom reilly did for us in the Hyde in 88 and then we had two marvellous games in 89 - we should have won the first day, paul earley denied a goal at the death by gabriel irwin, Tony Mc scored two goals in the replay, the last in injury time but we couldnt hang on, and jimmy burke from aughamore fell over the line with the ball in extra time long before joe sheridan made it fashionable. To make matters worse, a bird shat on me walking out of the hyde that evening.Duggan was the star of the show in 91, did he score 8 in the replay. 92 saw the broken crossbar and a start of two decades of almost unbroken mayo dominance.
I presume that Larry played under the name Damien for a reason? Any thoughts on why?
No man, not even Larry, can disguise the skills of a genius. About the only failure that can attributed to him.
I don't think it was the greatest point of all-time but this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lDQA4saWfU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lDQA4saWfU) - is the sweetest point I've seen from a Roscommon perspective, but it was one of the 'easiest' kicks Donie took all day. His performance (he'd only turned 20 a few months previous) in 2010 is up there with Duggan's in 1991.

I posted this comment by mistake about the donegal point but it was meant for this one about eamon burns from derry.
I havn't watched most of the points mentioned on here yet, but that is simply outstanding and would be my idea of a perfect score. Never realised he was that good, only knew of him when he around 30 or so, but see him in full flow there was briliant.
Never seen that game from 91, some excellent scores all round, great football from both sides.

Maurice Fitz as suggested above, also his first Munster Final (1988?) I seem to remember wondering who the beanpole scoring an amazing point was.
CmcD: Two points in 2006 AIF first half - bad day but fantastic scores
Derek Duggan: Equaliser 1991 Connacht Final
Eamon McEneaney (spelling?) 1985 AIF semi-final equaliser
Martin Daly Clare - back heel point
Sean O'Domhnaill 1998 Final (I know Galway men that told me they could never lose when SOD scored from 50 yards)
Sean Og De Paor 1998 after that run by Donnellan
Johnny McGurk v Dubs 1993 importance of the score and his taking responsibility
Tom Brewster v Armagh 2004 timing and importance
Gooch - any number of those taking on his man and making just a yard of space before hooking over with the left or right
Dessie Dolan - sideline from the 21 the day he missed from straight in front of the posts to beat Meath
Canavan - any number but that free v Armagh. One small step for Canavan one giant point for Tyrone
Steve O'Neill - any number of scores but a recent league opener v Dub from the end-line springs to mind
Larry Tomkins - 1987 a very long free in the last minute v Galway to equalise and another in the opening minutes of the 1989 final v Mayo from where Maurice Fitz scored with the left in 1997.

Is there a clip of this Galway U21 Brazil-type point?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfYMUO4_ioo
This might be it. Shane Walsh is a very talented lad but I the defending was poor enough here. Try that against Donegal in the senior championship.
Acouple of hurling points.
Joe Canning's behind the back hand pass.

Where did you see defending? There wasn't a single tackle.

They were meditating with Syfeen before the match.
You can hear them going "om" in that clip

Cheers Asal Mor. Yeah, both right about the defending. I'm amazed a Rossie didn't put him through the wire.
Jeez give the credit many a man couldn't do that round traffic cones

Young Shane does take a lot of out of the ball on occasion but I think he will grow out of that with experience. Only reason he does it though is because he is ridiculously comfortable on the ball and very confident in his skills. Will have to learn to move it on quicker though before someone decides to try and lamp him one some day. Would prefer to have a young lad with his natural skills and confidence though. The rest you can work on.
Wee James 1994. Celtic Park. All sorts of hoors hanging out of him for about 60 yards and he still manged to squeeze it over;=>......

Yeah he's an outstanding talent and I'd like to see Mullholland gamble on a few of these U-21s against Mayo rather than sticking with the old tried and not so trusted.It would be a surprise though, if he starts anyone other than O Curraoin.
Mickey Linden - second half All Ireland Final 1991.
Running towards canal end under the hogan stand side. Duked one way then the other between two Meath lads, one of whom I think when on his hole, and duly converted. Sublime.

And took about 15 steps in the process! ;D Great score though
You nordies are hoors for taking steps.

For drama, excitement and the circumstances, it's got to be Cluxton's winner v Kerry.
Drama, excitement and the circumstances are relative experiences. Cluxton's plucky effort not only went over the bar but also rammed high into the (animal) cage. But this is about the greatest, McEneaey's effort, on a heavy pitch, with the ball weighing about a kilo more, at least 10m further out, surpasses Cluxton's. One of the best from olden days.

My favourite score of Mickey Linden's, go to 3 mins 20 secs.
Pace, power, accuracy, in front of the hill and on the biggest stage under pressure from Paul Clarke.
By no means the greatest point of all time but sums up Mickey Linden's game.

Pains me to say/remember......but 2 or 3 fantastic Meath points that will stick in the memory and right up there as some of the greatest
This one isn't too shabby

No not the Banty but the great Dragan Stojković, for those of a certain vintage one of the most talented no 10's in the world for a good few years and bridged the gap between Yugoslavia and the new Serbian state. Unreal player tortured by injures.

Is hurling included in this?
If so, Diarmuid O'Sullivan's point v Limerick from his own half.
No.
Yeah it is. But link a video or get the f**k out.
The Rock v Limerick: around 1 minute in.

Banty was known in Meath as Stanković so it is easy to confuse them.

I wish. Unfortunately, it was a football.
The greatest point of the modern era?
Dean Rock's second point for Dublin against Tyrone in the 2013 National Football League Final. :D
