There's been way too many negative threads set up on the back of what was an absolute classic of a match last Sunday. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 21/09/2017 09:54:20 2048888 Link 1 |
Cillian O'Connor's equalising point was a great score too. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 21/09/2017 10:07:52 2048896 Link 0 |
I'd go with Connolly's myself. To do what he did whilst getting absolutely hauled at was something else. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4172 - 21/09/2017 10:10:15 2048899 Link 0 |
McCarthy nailed a couple of huge scores at crucial times too though, it must not be forgotten. Chops (Westmeath) - Posts: 775 - 21/09/2017 11:07:08 2048928 Link 0 |

It's not just posters on here it's the media coverage also. Articles about Mayo being chokers and concentrating on the gamesmanship. Let's talk more about the football. Mayo were absolutely brilliant. I really think they showed that to be successful now you have to be competitive all over the pitch. Conceding territory in the way that Tyrone and Donegal do is dead as an All Ireland winning strategy. I'd love to hear more about that.

A part of the game we don't recognise enough old school defending.. 3 or 4 turnovers from Chris Barrett of the highest quality.. He was a man possessed...

O'Callaghan's goal was unreal, unfortunately!

Agree 100%, nothing between these two footballing teams, not sure if Tyrone have the personnel to match them and with Mickey in charge for another three years probably we will never know.

It was an outstanding game between 2 outstanding teams. Maybe not the most eye catching score of the day but the movement off the ball from Keegan in the build up to his goal was exceptional. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 21/09/2017 12:26:15 2048965 Link 0 |
Connolly's point was the best. HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 21/09/2017 13:53:04 2049005 Link 0 |
I thought Andy Moran's first half exhibition was outstanding. We just couldn't contain him. Connolly's pass to Rock was the most sublime piece of skill in the game. I thought Boyle's point was top drawer. Kev Mc's turnover in our half, can't remember who he pinched the ball from, was a game changer. Fantastic game of ball.

Keegan's goal with half the Dublin backline hanging out of him was, for me, the score of the game. O'Callaghan's goal would have been equally good except for him fouling the ball. There were some well taken points but nothing exceptional. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 21/09/2017 14:39:04 2049028 Link 1 |
Forgot about Colm Boyle's point. Outrageous effort! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 21/09/2017 14:48:19 2049030 Link 0 |
Plenty to pick from from both sides. Every score in a game like Sundays is a great score it could be argued. I have to watch the game back again but McLoughlin in the first half was a lovely score. Cons goal was a great individual goal while Keegan's goal was a well worked team goal. Mannions point right after HT was great in it's simplicity. Boyle Andy Doherty Rock Kevin MC Cillian kicked some lovely scores. McCarthy kicked crucial scores 2nd half along with Connolly. They're just off the top of the head. Some day when I can face it I'll watch it again. High quality scores all round. Great to see a positive thread on the final. Weary (None) - Posts: 249 - 21/09/2017 16:20:00 2049069 Link 1 |
Some great scores, Boyle and Connolly with super points, O'Callaghan's goal, in fact both goals were well worth the roar that followed them, it was an epic game. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 21/09/2017 18:15:53 2049107 Link 0 |
