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

Always liked Cluxton after he smacked McAteer that time.

What did you think of him beforehand

dodgy_keeper · May 10, 2020, 1:09pm

Pretty neutral.

myboyblue · May 10, 2020, 1:10pm

You were easily swayed.

The day Croke park shook in the ground. One of my earliest memories coming out of that game. I think that and Munster/wasps in 04 were the two times I was really caught by the atmosphere.

Ray Cosgrove had some summer that year but was Cillian O Connor when it counted at very end.

Piece on Joe Connolly 1980 speech on Rte radio 1 now.

CillDioma · May 10, 2020, 1:53pm

Is it any good? It was difficult to listen to Des and Henry chat about weaker counties a few minutes ago.

TheUlteriorMotive · May 10, 2020, 1:56pm

I’ve a tear in my eye.

Joe is on now. As Gaeilge.

Did an outfield player go into goals that time when cluxton got sent off?

Did they not trust the sub keeper?

Big_Dan_Campbell · May 10, 2020, 2:08pm

Didn’t something similar happen in Meath about a decade ago. Keeper got injured in the warm up, they put their midfielder into goals instead of the sub keeper who quit the panel after the game.

Think it might have been Colm O’Rourke’s young fella who went from midfield to goals but could be wrong.

peddlerscross · May 10, 2020, 2:10pm

Banty did it in Monaghan with Darren Hughes one time and possibly did it with Meath too.

Big_Dan_Campbell · May 10, 2020, 2:12pm

A fair slap in the face for the sub keeper

Fat_Pox · May 10, 2020, 2:16pm

Cavan did it a few years ago. Galligan from Cavan I think started for them a few years ago as an outfielder. He is still GK I think.

Big_Dan_Campbell · May 10, 2020, 2:18pm

Armagh v Tyrone from 2005 is on bbc 2 tonight at 8:15

ChairmanDan · May 10, 2020, 2:41pm

Good second half to this after a lacklustre enough first half. I’ve never seen this match, I was on holidays when it was played. Some goal by Ciaran Whelan. Probably the only great Dublin footballer in last 50 years not to win an All Ireland.

peddlerscross · May 10, 2020, 2:42pm

I didn’t realise how good Ciaran Whelan was until I watched Dublin v Tyrone 2005 a few weeks ago.

He was unreal.

Big_Dan_Campbell · May 10, 2020, 2:48pm

Only dipping in and out if this but every time I look up Paddy Christie appears to be at sixes and sevens

Fat_Pox · May 10, 2020, 2:49pm

Ah he was a youtube footballer. Capable of a couple of brilliant individual scores and was a great athlete driving at goal. However he went missing for large periods in games and was routinely bullied in big games when Dublin looked for him to be the aggressor. A poster boy for their softness, arrogance and underachievement in the late 90s and 00s.

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · May 10, 2020, 2:50pm

Ronan Clarke was some footabller at 19 years of age, an absolute beast of a man.
