Title: Goal of the Year
Post by: Prestige on November 30, 2006, 02:47:58 PM
Is it too early to start this thread with some club matches left? However, I don't think there is a goal to beat that one in the Connacht Club Final last sunday....any views???

without thinking about this at all, McDonald and Gardiner's effort in the drawn mayo final was none too shabby either

Declan O'Sullivan's goal in the AI final was a great team move and tore the soul out of Mayo before they could settle.

Donaghy's bullets against Mayo and Armagh were brilliant in their execution but not great goals.

I thought brian mallon's goal against monaghon in the reply of the ulster championship was very good. Good work from a team perspective and well caught when the ball was fielded into him. There was still alot for him to do when he caught it and he drove it straight into the top corner, fine goal ;)

What about Henry Shefflin's goal in Leinster (was it against Wexford) when the ball was crossed in and he first timed it to the top corner?

The goal McDonald and/or Gardiner got against Ballaghadreen in the first match to force a draw. Had to be the best and the luckiest. Don't think I've ever seen a goal like it.

It has to be Karol Mannion's goal against Corofin last Sunday. The player himself has said that he went for goal, because with them being 2 points down, and only a minute of injury time left, he knew that anything less than a goal wouldn't be good enough. Ciaran Mc Donald/Gardiner's goal was down to sheer naive, bad defending on Ballaghaderreen's part.

Great finish all right, but the number of steps was a bit suspect!

Donegal's goal against Down. Good build-up play, fantastic shot from Rory Kavanagh.

Down's goal in that game wasn't bad either.

Martin Penrose's goal v Monaghan in NFL. For a team move, there wasn't much better. McGuigan's vision in executing the final pass was delightful.

Donaghy's goal v Armagh was most memorable I suppose. The weighty significance of it was dripping off the ball and man.

Prestige, Are you Karol Mannion in disguise??

if ya are please answer me a question,
how in the name of all that is holy did you get away with taking 13 steps without the normally mandatory hop or solo,its not as if Jonno's favourite ref was down the other side of the field. Fair play though decent strike.

As mannion was been pulled and draggedthe ref may have been playing advantage as a free kick would have been useless to them,still had it all to do though

A GAA answer to a GAA problem, its clear cut, it wouldnt matter if there were 15 Corofin players hanging onto Mannion, if he takes over 4 steps with the ball its either a free in for dragging or a free out for overcarrying, can you imagine an advantage occuring in rugby and been allowed to go on after a player knocks on the ball. Ludicrious.
Just add it to the dodgy rules book,
another, why is it that if a player is on the ground trying to get up and there is one defender standing over hasseling him it will always end up as a free to the player on the ground, however in the same situation if there are 4 or 5 defenders hasseling the grounded player, the free will go against the player on the ground for overcarrying. Suppose tackling in general is hazy city, as is the Square ball rule, foot block etc etc.
Anyway back to goal of the season, Mannion fouled the ball, should be taken of the list

If the ref allowed it he didnt foul the ball,fact
