All Ireland Gold or now to be known as old matches on d’tele

Damien Garrihy was the name of the keeper dropped after the 95 Munster final for no particular reason. O’Hara was the 21s keeper and was sub keeper for the semi and final

Is that contrasting probably the most significant match in Gaelic Football history and the least significant?

First time Wicklow ever won a championship match in Croke Park AFAIK.

Your description is still accurate, though.

Watching the 91 Munster Final replay. Some game. A throwback to when a Cork player could take a hard challenge and not roll around on the floor for a few mins. Great days

Declan Ryan’s cowardly assault on Jim Cashman turned that game, Jim was too much of a gent to lie down and roll around.

Declan Ryan doled out a nice bit of timber that day. Would probably have gotten two red cards for it today. Odd cos I don’t remember him being like that.

Actually it’s not kildare, wicklow are actually the biggest underachieving county in gaa.

2017 final on TG4 now.

Outrageous score by Conor Cooney there.

Waterford were carrying a couple of lads, in hindsight.

About 3 or 4 passengers

Never understood what Jake Dillon brought to the forwards. Very few scores and too rotund to be a timmy mc or a bangers

Jaysus Tuohy couldn’t knock out a wank that day.

The goals kept Waterford in the hunt . If Galway got the first goal it would have been carnage

Derek’s “system” papered over a few cracks.

Some shooting from Galway early on. Everything going over.

Callanan’s howler gets worse every time. Didn’t get his body behind it at all. Excellent keeper for Galway but a bit past his best by 2017.

Gleeson was actually very good in a 10 minute spell. Forgot that.

Petulant kick out from Ozzy there after losing the ball

In many ways it didn’t . If you watch a lot of their defenders were a bit stand offish , trusting the extra number of cover space . There seemed to defend territory rather than opponent . The few weak forwards were a problem when only playing with 5

Whelan and Connors had a great battle.

Real cheap shot by Brick Welsh there…
