Replying To royaldunne: "Well without question the two most iconic scores is Seamus Darby v Kerry goal, which ended the 5 in a row, and of course Kevin Foley goal v Dublin which brought a end to the 4 game saga. Everything else pales into insignificance when you realise the enormity of both these occasions. Were they the best scores ever scored? No, but were they the most iconic? And will they stand the test of time? Absolutely ." Darby yes Foley no gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 24/11/2016 19:58:02 1936544 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Unreal how majority of posters favourite scores are against Dublin, were they that great a score or is it just cause it was against Dublin ?" The were great scores. Dublin for 15 seasons were regularly at the business end of the championship without winning. Of course there'll be a lot of fond memories of scores versus them. There are plenty of scores versus Kerry. Kevin Mc's goals v Kerry in 2011 and 2013 are huge. Cluxton's point vs Kerry in 2011. Connolly 's point versus Kerry this year all huge. Lee Keegan versus Dublin this would've been huge has they gone on to win. Keegan's point versus Tyrone this year was immense. Sean Cavanagh and Peter Harte had some huge scores in this year's Ulster final. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4236 - 24/11/2016 20:05:44 1936545 Link
My point is Maurice Fitzgerald's side line score is talked about and showed over and over again we're as off the top of my head Ja Fallon kicked an unbelievable side line ball against Kildare in the all Ireland final that is not nearly as talked about as Fitzgerald's kick I'm just wondering is it cause it's against Dublin? Paul Mannion scored one of the greatest solo goals I've ever seen this year against the meanest defence in Gaa history and it barely gets a mention I'm convince if McBreaty or Murphy did that down the other end it would be talked about as one of the great goals for decades to come. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 24/11/2016 21:06:41 1936561 Link

From a Meath point of view it has to be Kevin Foleys goal against Dublin and Jody Divine (super sub) deserves a mention for his points against Kildare in that three game saga seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2150 - 24/11/2016 22:03:38 1936569 Link

Ja Fallon gets plenty of prase as well, including a Laochra Gael episode with that point one of the highlights, so he's hardly the forgotten man. As for Mannion's goal, I would say he falls victim to Dublin's dominance of the game. They have reached a level were great goals are almost expected and its hard to use all of them as iconic moments. And yes, if Murphy or McBrearty had done it for Donegal and it won them the game it would have been seen as the moment that broke the undefeated Dublin stranglehold and not just another goal, so you would hear more about it. That's life... SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 24/11/2016 22:38:17 1936576 Link
Gooch's goal against mayo in the allireland semifinal 2011, running out from the mayo goal won the ball between two mayo defenders turned and soloed in in and roof of the net. Gooch's goal against cork in the 07 allireland final jumped with the goalie and shields and got a fist to the ball. David Clifford's goal in the minor final this year v Galway.

Replying To showforit: "Get over your bias lad" What bias? It was a goal in a first round game. Did Meath win an all ireland that year? No. Did they win one the year after? No. It took 5 years to get an all ireland from that goal. In meath terms its an iconic score, national terms not so much. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 24/11/2016 23:02:58 1936581 Link

I was sick when he scored it but given the timing and the occasion it was some score. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7360 - 24/11/2016 23:10:02 1936582 Link

Hey maybe ye will sure ye are doing a good job of sorting out Dublin in Leinster these days ye can't lay down quick enough. Keep laughing because when you can't laugh at yourself, hey what? Lol!

Yet was voted the greatest goal in gaa history on rte program few years back with Darby been second. Go figure. Now if it was celebration's I believe that would have gone to Fermanagh for their ott celebration after beating, no wait drawing, nope not that either, after been hammered by dubs, you would have won that alright. :). royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 25/11/2016 08:06:55 1936602 Link
Honourable mention must go to Barney Rock for that last minute goal into the Hill against Cork in the 83 semi final to draw the game. Without that goal we wouldn't have had our day out in the sun by the Lee for the replay and no 12 Apostles in the final! bubba83 (Dublin) - Posts: 333 - 25/11/2016 08:31:52 1936603 Link
The best goal I've ever seen in Croke Park and arguably the most important for any county. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LW81bd3kWY On another note...have a look at the Dublin line up which that goal eventually beat that day... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk31akDBs5E tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 25/11/2016 08:51:56 1936608 Link
