Not one smug grin there..
And the last one there was a fist pump from Pat Fox, no a*se was slapped!

My least favourite celebration was when Niall Morgan cupped his ears to the Donegal support after putting his team into a 0-4 to 0-3 lead in the Ulster Semi Final in 2013. I'm not a fan of players winding up the opposition support whatever county they're from. In the end it turned out it was the only point he scored in the whole championship that year.

When cleary gives Fox a high five, as he starts running off, Fox slaps his ar*e . You better believe it!
Not much smuggery going on though ;-D

Your wrong pal, watched the video hundreds of times as a young lad and he does a fist pump.
Pause it on 7.32.

A Dublin poster above says his favourite is Cluxtons smile as he ran back after he kicked that free and Connolly smiling to a team mate after he kicked a point.. Could you explain the difference between a smug grin after scoring and a smile after scoring please?

Very simple really,a smug grin would be directed at the opposition players or fans, such as a clenched fist or raised arms and roaring into the Hill, or any other group of opposition fans, a smile to oneself, or a team mate is just a quiet celebration of whatever the achievement is, whether its winning an All Ireland or just doing something right in a game.

Probably my most iconic GAA moment ever. Final whistle of the 96 all Ireland hurling final,George o connor drops to his knees and joins his hands in prayer. Playing for Wexford since under 14 without winning anything,lost more finals than the mayo footballers! Age of 37 he wins an all Ireland medal. He wouldn't even have played if not for seanie floods misfortune. Who wrote the script? Beautiful moment
