From where he hit the free it was kind of a sixth sense on Joes part that he ended up in the only place on the field where he could influence the game.
As an aside James Barry made 2 very poor clearances during the end game that both resulted in scores for Joe.
Youâre hardly including that last clearance, are you?
Some lad in a white helmet (Cahill, Kennedy or B Maher) did a ground hurling half volley straight out to Canning for his earlier point from under the Cusack Stand. Whoever that was had ample time to take the ball in hand.
If Gleeson was sharper on his toes he could have gathered that break from the free instead of diving desperately to save it. Had he done so the game would have ended in a draw.
The smart play in most cases would have been to put that ball out over the sideline, but with Canning on the field that option wasnât open to Barry either.
No need to apologise. I named 3 players with white helmets but let R Maher off the hook. Barry Kelly was brutal on Sunday. Is it true he teaches in Galway?
