i assure u theres nothing funny bout the kick out....most underated skill in our great game....nothing is quite as magical when it is done right...the roar from the crowd as boot hits ball...moments like that are what really raises a team and are the difference between winning an all ireland or not LOL daveywavey (Wexford) - Posts: 24 - 27/01/2009 16:31:22 191087 Link 0 |

My own personal favourite is the kick-out where the ball keeps falling off the tee, and just when it seems like it's settled it rolls off just as the goalies running up to kick it, and he makes a balls of it. Only seen it happen the once but it was the most memorable kick-out I've ever seen. mid-mon man (Monaghan) - Posts: 1680 - 27/01/2009 16:36:31 191095 Link 0 |

11. The kickout from the dodgy 4 foot nothing fat goalie with two strapped knees that always seems to hit the forty! sheepshooter (Meath) - Posts: 626 - 27/01/2009 16:41:58 191106 Link 0 |

Yeah redhandman what about the one where the wind is blowing straight back at the goalie and when he kicks the ball the wind catches it and it ends up back over his own bar or in his own greatful hands omaghjoe (Tyrone) - Posts: 1191 - 27/01/2009 20:51:44 191352 Link 0 |

RMD - Ah the memories of the kickout from the ground, takes me back! Here's one you may have forgot....now picture the scene..... The 'keeper carefully places the ball on top of a tuft of long grass (he may have sneakily dug into the ground around this area and made an old style tee), he takes 6 or 7 strides back, puts his right hand in the air as if to make a signal to the outfield players.....upon seeing this there is a frenzy of movement around the middle of the park with players making runs everywhere. The 'keeper starts his run-up (it's gonna be a big kick this, i can feel it) and he strikes the ball with fury (not one of the brothers) and looks up to see it's flight, only to realise that it has scuttled along the ground and the full back and forward are fighting for the ball on the 21'. Screams of "Awww for **** sake" ring around the pitch! Now, that used to make me laugh something cronic when watching a game (it would've been me screaming when i was playing though) Bald Eagle (None) - Posts: 1009 - 28/01/2009 10:32:10 191766 Link 0 |
Cuxton places some great accurate kicks, especially with Shane Ryan. curious George (Offaly) - Posts: 861 - 28/01/2009 11:24:56 191838 Link 0 |
Brendan Tierneys in 2002 all-ireland final. Marsden made a run from the corner forward position leaving Mark OSe in his wake. Tierney spots him and rather than hoof it down the middle he finds him with a 55 yard pass. Marsden lays it off to Andrew McCann who goes on a run for 30 yards or so, passes to McConville, McConville takes off, plays a one two with McGrane, McConville buries it, goal. Armagh back in the game. Ant the rest as they say is history. samin10 (Armagh) - Posts: 2434 - 29/01/2009 09:15:11 192845 Link 0 |
