Not as good as MF.
Generally however players are far far more 2 footed. I watched a Prem Minor league final earlier in the year and both teams were unbelievably full of guys kicking of both sides. Even last sunday there was alot of 2 footed players in the provincial finals.
Scoring from the sideline from the ground is another world though.
He doesn’t have a life, a job (at least not one that requires actual work) nor a girlfriend. All of this gives him an unfair advantage over most ever other poster on TFK. He can outlast anyone.
It’s almost like all the other posters in TFK have to play in the Ulster Football Championship, but he gets a handy passage through Munster.
You can’t get better than that. There are those who know Canavan is the greatest and there are those who never saw him.
They did a great initiative a while back at underage where they made players were two different colour socks, one to denote the weaker foot. 2 points if you hit it with the bad leg. Not sure if it’s still going on but it was a great idea.
To knowledgeable football people, that’s pretty obvious, but then again you’re dealing here with lads who haven’t seen much Gaelic football over the years.
It’s like lads saying Zidane is better than Maradona because they only started watching association football in 1998.
Quite amusing, really.
Considering Fitz is older than Canavan it’s nothing like that at all.
Deny, deny, deny.
You’re really on the backfoot with this.
Good idea. What could happen though is a complete abdonement of sensible play. Still a good idea.
Its clearly been coached alot more now.
In my inmocent years i was brought in by a club colleague to be the trainer for the Divisions senior team. Chock full of IC players at various levels, all ireland winners etc. Anyway did a 2-way warm up kicking drill where going one way you kick off left the other right. Turned out to be a disaster with balls all over the place and i got advised by one of the better known lads to pull it as it could ruin the confidence. He was right. Could not believe how bad some of them were and what was worse they came from football only clubs for the most part. Makes you wonder what “coaching” was going on even up to the high levels.
For a lad only out of bed you are full of spunk today.
As a Fitz supporter, he is equally comfortable off either foot.
They think Fitzhugh is the greatest player that ever lived because he could hit a sideline ball.
The only way you could stop Canavan was to injure him as Meath deliberately did in 96.
Lads here talking about coaching.
What Maurice Fitzgerald did is coachable, by their own admission.
What Peter Canavan did is completely uncoachable. You can’t coach genius. You’re either born with it, or you’re not.
That’s the difference.
Canavan was the Maradona of GAA, everything was pure instinct.
A drug addled wife beater?
Mate, this is too highbrow for you. Go make bad cracks elsewhere.
We should find the lad who coached Maurice. He could have a future in the game.
Another similarity Canavan has with Maradona is that both players were at their best in the toughest defensive environments their sport has ever had, when defenders had a licence to commit GBH on them and get away with it - Serie A in the 1980s and Ulster football in the 1990s/first half of the 2000s.
Canavan’s most fabled opponent is Kieran McKeever - the finest corner back of the 1990s. Yet McKeever was invariably reduced to a gibbering wreck by Canavan.
Fitzgerald never came up against such an opponent.
You are some fool.
Or a WUM.
Or both.
What do you disagree with, mate?
This is a common pattern with you.
I make a trademark brilliant post which cuts through the bullshit touches a raw nerve with you, and you reply with a trademark inarticulate grunt.
