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.[/quote]
Kev, that’s bollox. You’re exaggerating in order to back up your original point.

So Kerry didn’t work on kickouts, despite them disrupting Dublin’s kickouts probably more than any other team in the last four years at least?
That was some stroke of luck for them.
Stop saying 60-70 yards. Some of them were 30-40 meters max.
Have you ever heard the phrase " the run makes the pass"?

The pass also makes the run.

When Daragh was playing Sid.
Hurling, not football. Thus not relevant to the discussion
[quote=“Sidney, post: 836956, member: 183”]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.[/quote]
He didn’t stay with pace. He was fucked at the end, making fatigued decisions. He was blowing hard.

No.
Yes.
It’s not just the run, or just the pass. It’s a number of factors and Cluxton’s the one weighing up and pulling the trigger with regard to choice of target, timing of delivery, distance, trajectory to match run and bypass opponent, general opposition positioning and so on. Extremely complex.
Stop saying it’s not.
The proportion of his decisions which were mistakes actually declined the end of the match. He was blowing hard towards the end because the amount of fouling clearly increased. His worst period was early in the second half.

he hoofed the ball( with the help of a legal foreign object) into a part of the field which was empty and which some lad ran into and caught the ball
if you loved the GGA you wouldnt be praising this inane activity
you of all people on this forum knows the danger of hyperbole
good post

FFS. You are not a stupid cunt, but you are acting like one now.
I realise Cluxton is a hero of the finance world as a lot of your types have worked with him or met him, but his glorifying is a bit over the top.
He’s the best keeper I’ve seen, but his KO’s Sunday were easy based in a simple plan. His in play goal keeping was well below his normal level.
Sid you detailed how shit he was yet say he did well. Make up your mind.
When I said blowing I mean he was fucking pulling hard for breath, wiping sweat a lot too.
He’s a science teacher, and thus I’d imagine his knowledge of vectors are the key factor in his accurate kickouts. What that has to with the world of finance I don’t know.

I explained that he made understandable mistakes like any referee but wasn’t shit. And I have a feeling you may not be fully aware of just how hot it was in Croke Park on Sunday. It was very hot. In fact it was the first match since Ireland v Italy in Poznan last year which I wore shorts to. 
Can you provide a list of referees who would not be sweating towards the end of such a match in such conditions?

after he failed at Pats he worked in the IFSC, he failed there and became a teacher
I think you’ll find it’s compulsory to fail any type of financial or accounting exams to be allowed to work in the IFSC. Teaching on the other hand requires you to pass exams and have actual knowledge. That’s why you get the bright sparks like Cluxton in teaching and the dullards like Mark Vaughan in finance.
Pats as in Pat’s the teacher training college, where you go to become a teacher?
Maybe Cluxton’s superior knowledge and frustration with the inadequacies of those he worked in the IFSC with saw him briefly share a cell with TWCB in St. Pat’s mental hospital?
Nah, TASE is Fingal, he’d have spent his time in Ita’s in Portrane. Lovely sea views to wash away the mental.
