It’s a show Of petulance imo from Dowling and he should cut it out. He hit one wide in ennis last year and it was simply stupid. Just hit the ball over the bar. I don’t get it at all. Give the umpires zero chance to fuck up too.

Was peter Casey’s point near the end of the first half some sort of banana shot? It’s hard to spot on tv but he looks like he intentionally cut the ball as he was striking it. A beautiful score.
and at 2am
Petulance 
Can you explain why he intentionally blasts the ball extremely high for no apparent reason and to do it he totally breaks from his usually strike which is really good? Does he think people are impressed he can hit the ball really high? He got his wake up call in ennis last year to cut that nonsense out.
Don’t think that one in ennis was directly in front of goals on 21 last year.
It was just a fuck up like the whole day, he’s human.
If he strikes it like he usually does he scores 1000/1000. Doing that nonsense of trying to impress people by hitting it really high his odds of missing one crumble. The umpires are incompetent anyway so give them no excuses. He should be like a caged bull trying to do everything to get back into that team. He’s a poor record v Clare and next week is a huge opportunity to set the record straight.
P Horgan also does this since forever and a day.
Apple’s new line of attack at Dowling is blaming him for an umpire calling a pointed free wide
I think it’s done to confuse, whack it as high as you can and the umpires can’t really see and just award the point.
I’ve never seen anyone do what Dowling did yesterday, other than maybe Dowling.
He had a bit of banter with Fergal Horgan after he sent it to orbit.
Then you haven’t been paying attention to Pat Horgan. He hits the ball very very high when striking it.
The Dow just likes blasting sliotars out of the ground so that young fellas can find them and use them to practice their skills.

I can’t believe this is even being discussed. The trajectory of a mans frees.
No mention of the 2 he hit over the blackspot from inside his own 45 of course. Or the absolute beauty from play. Some lads are always looking for ways to cut into their own

He was brilliant when he came on.
The trajectory of Shane Dowling’s frees is a disgrace. He needs to be removed from the panel for that close in one he blasted out of the stand. Completely unacceptable

He’s very civic minded in that regard. Helping out the lads playing gates.
he usually is. but then again he’s usually brilliant when he starts too. That’s what you get from brilliant players.
