Obviously biased but Con O'Callaghan's goal against Tyrone was a thing of beauty jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 11/12/2017 19:03:58 2064881 Link 2 |
Cian Connolly's goal for Roscommon against Galway in the Connacht final was a bit special. The pass in from Diarmuid Murtagh was superb and Connolly finished with aplomb. gaelicgab (USA) - Posts: 878 - 11/12/2017 19:37:06 2064888 Link 1 |
Or was it the other Murtagh brother that fed Connolly? Not too sure. gaelicgab (USA) - Posts: 878 - 11/12/2017 19:43:38 2064889 Link 0 |
a bit biased myself but I think Cian Connolly's goal for Roscommon v Galway in Connacht Final was the best goal. it involved movement, long distance foot pass and a cool finish.

From a Dublin point of view, both Con O'Callaghan's goals v Tyrone and then in the final v Mayo. The finish past Clarke was perfect. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 11/12/2017 20:21:10 2064894 Link 2 |
Yeah Roscommon goal in the Connacht Final was fairly special as well. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 11/12/2017 20:24:11 2064895 Link 2 |
Con's goal in the final wasn't too shabby either, both goals mentioned were class, I think in the context of high stakes and pressure, getting a goal like that to immediately dampen the spirits of a much vaunted Tyrone in an All-Ireland semi-final would shade it. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 11/12/2017 20:27:27 2064896 Link 1 |
Con O'Callaghan's versus Mayo also was brilliant. The coolness of the finish was brilliant. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4172 - 11/12/2017 20:32:39 2064897 Link 1 |

Callaghan's goal in AI is mentionable only because he left Boyle, who is a physical specimen, for dead. Unreal power. But please stop going on about the finish... any decent club player would finish that low to the ground under the keeper. Dropping the ball from one hand to the other foot... fairly standard, easy skill. Composure-wise, excellent but technique-wise that finish is good, let's leave it at that. Have a problem with the over-eulogising of certain "skills" in the game, e.g., the outside the boot pass by Connolly that took out Barrett - standard skill, Barrett made it look inch-perfect, it wasn't. Such skills standard at decent club level. wicklu (Wicklow) - Posts: 331 - 13/12/2017 15:38:09 2065104 Link 0 |

The goal in the final wasn't the most spectacular but it is really good. He b urns boyle on the outside, holds the ball in the left hand to fend him off, realises he has to roll to his right of the keeper so changes hands and rolls it in. he could have finished it more spectacularly with a dummy solo for instance but he done the right thing showing such composure... which from a 21 yr old in an AI final makes it special.

I think David Clifford's first goal against Derry in the allireland minor final was brilliant and deserves to be goal of the year. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/12/2017 22:29:08 2065141 Link 0 |
