The old “you never played IC”. Neither did Sean Boylan, but he was ok.
Either playing the game is worth or it’s not. I realise you struggle to see things in a game and rely in the opinions of others, but I don’t.
If you were involved in the game you’d realise what it takes to practice such things. What they were doing Sunday any decent keeper and club coach would get in 2 training sessions.
In fairness, for something that would be perfected in two training sessions, Dara O Sé seemed mighty impressed with it.

Sean Boylan did play inter county.
[quote=“caoimhaoin, post: 836937, member: 273”]For not being able to stay with pace of game is not his fault to a degree ( he is in decent shape). What is his fault is his total inconsistency.
I know it’s hard for you, but try and read things correctly.[/quote]
He did stay with the pace. He was well positioned for pretty much every decision.
He made mistakes. If you conduct a forensic analysis of every refereeing performance in the championship by every referee I suspect you’ll find at least a similar number of mistakes. That’s for the very obvious reason that they get one viewing of each incident and have to make an immediate decision.
I felt when watching the match live that despite those mistakes, McQuillan’s performance was reasonably decent and I still think that.
Jim Gavin’s comments were well wide of the mark - Mayo were awarded 20 frees more than Dublin, it should have been 23, and possibly 24 if you count the Cafferkey foul on Brogan after 56 minutes as an error, which it may have been.
I dislike cynical fouling tactics by any team and I won’t make an exception for Dublin. Dublin were clearly the best team this year and were the best team in the final but the cynical fouling soured the win a bit for me.
There’s hardly any professional footballers capable of landing raking long range / 60-70 yard passes absolutely on the money to moving targets, never mind a gaelic football goalkeeper. For Cluxton to do it repeatedly was sheer class. To downplay or dismiss it is rank stupidity or stubborness.
No pal a club goalie could learn it in two training sessions

Please provide a list of all decent keepers and club coaches that have executed to a similar standard what Dublin did with their kickouts on Sunday.

It’s not that difficult to make yourself look like a simpleton on an INTERNET forum. You’ve managed it pretty easily.
:rolleyes:
That’s a clamping.

Kev, how did you rate Ger Brennan and Cian O’Sullivan’s performances on Sunday? I thought O’Sullivan was the second best player on the pitch after Keith “Perpetual Motion” Higgins, while Brennan thoroughly vindicated posters like myself who have regularly championed him.
he kicks it in the general area and the players run into it-piss easy
Your insolence is leaving me with no option but to set up the “Things you may not know about The Wild Colonial Bhoy” thread.
+1
They’re allowed pull the ball out of their air with their hands as well which makes it a lot easier too. Bandage saying hardly any professional footballers can do this is the single dumbest thing I have ever read on this forum. He is even allowed kick off some sort of platform as to aid him as well.
If Cluxtons so accurate and classy then wtf he doing playing in goals? Why isn’t he up front scoring for fun.
He does come up to score, pal. He got decisive late points in 2 of the last 3 All Ireland Finals. You might remember these incidents and some of the other points he’s scored.
That’s cos Kerry hardly worked on kick outs.
People get fooled by the change in tact as it was a change from what we re used to from Dublin. They went with a simple plan which was smart with the expected intensity. Gavin played a blinder.
