Yes, just like the result of the 1996 final.
Lads could barely rise the ball back in them days

Ah here.
At 2 points down it was Gleeson who chased down Joyce in what looked a lost cause and won the ball back before playing a delightful ball into Barron for the goal.
He then runs through around 5 of them to score one of the great goals of all time.
Leadership.
where would be without aussie!?
He shouldnât have been on de field when he scored the goal as he survived the helmet incident, and then when he was on de field he shouldnât have scored the goal he did as any other player would have taken the option of passing it off to the better placed team mate
amid all this helmet pulling, outreagous goalscoring the wonderful dispossession and pass by Aussie that led to Barronâs goal has been forgotten

Real hurling.
Colemanâs a super hurler, uses the ball very well but isnât the best defender in the world. Not dissimilar to a couple of our own lads, but he was given licence to express his ability. Heâll mature into a top player, I suppose it shows the value of experience too.
Yes due to the space he was allowed to have because the other team were down to 14 men
Austin could only play the cards he was dealt.
Yes and he couldnât play the cards he was dealt until the other team went down to 14

Austin Gleeson did it when it mattered.
Fact
When it was much easier to do it.
Fact.
Damian Cahalanes red card wasnât Austin Gleesons fault.
I never said it was
Result was definitely in doubt at that point. Cork were two up and with Fitzgibbon in full flow were probably playing their best hurling of the game. Austin popped up then with two moment of magic and Cork collapsed.
Itâs a tough one on the helmet grab incident. I wouldnât want to see the lad miss out on an AI final as himself vs Canning is that stuff of legend, two talismen who can produce those moments of magic. Out of sheer stupidity he almost deserves it though. I noticed myself grabbing a faceguard in a game lately under a dropping ball, a split-second thing that wasnât really intentional but one of these things that happens with all the pulling and dragging that goes on in the game now. No free, nothing was given. Doing it when the ball has gone out of play and there is no physical contest is different though. Itâs a sly and sneaky move and with the focus on helmet grabs lately I canât understand why Gleeson would chance it, but thatâs the maverick in the man I guess.
There is no leadership in someone who canât resist pulling another mans helmet in full view of everyone except the ref. He let his teammates down yesterday. He choked when it counted.

Gleeson was the gamechanger yesterday, he chased down a lost cause, won the ball and gave an inch perfect pass for the 2nd goal and had the confidence and courage to put away his own goal when the easier and more predictable option wouldâve been to pass the ball off. 9 times out of 10 the attacker will try that pass and itâs what the defender and keeper were expecting and preparing for, they werenât expecting Gleeson to take it on. Decisions and leadership like that should be applauded and encouraged. Itâs what makes the difference between the Gleesons / Shefflins / Cannings of this world and the rest

Not me but sections of the commentariat here .
Shane Bennett did the same thing with a much more difficult pass against fifteen men in the first half. Gleesonâs goal was brilliant but came about because of there being loads of space to run into as a result of the sending off
And Cahalanes two cards came about from 2 separate fouls on Austin Gleeson. You could say that Gleeson was the creator of his own good fortune

Was it nor Barron the 2nd 1?
