David Clifford GOAT

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Replying To tirawleybaron:  "If Kerry and CLifford dominate to the extent that the GAA have to modify the tackle rules so you can actually stop him within the rules, then he will be the GOAT, as like Cluxton he will have changed the game and the GAA needed to change rules to change it back.

Before Cluxton, all kickouts went long. His invention of the short kickout changed how all teams played. TheFRC have now basically banned short kick outs to get us back to what we had before Cluxton.

THe GAA might have to ban the screen (which David and Paudie have perfected) as well as allowing a shooter be "hooked" to stop David scoring 10 points per match.

David is so good, most underage managers would have played him in midfield around our way so he could be on the ball more often.
Whichever Fossa (or Kerry) coach allowed him develop in the full forward line should be given the freedom of Killarney and should be considered the GOAT of underage GAA coaches."
Armagh and Tyrone were already going short with kickouts when Cluxton started playing intercounty regularly in 2002.
