As so often pettiness has taken over and now lads are having a go at a very humble guy who played the game beautifully and without an ounce of cynicism to score a cheap point.
I hadn’t realised you were such a fan of PK but I’m with you, he was a joy to watch, some very uninformed comment here.
Huge fan. Totally cooincidentally and non playing related i have spoke to him a few times recently. A gent doesn’t describe it.
But what a footballer. His ability to find space, pick a pass was as good as anyone. However he has that wonderful trick of getting out of the way at the right time too.
His performance against Tyrone in 09 was remarkable.
Another major thing, he made Kerrigan look really good. He is a phenom with fast half backs or forwards, he brings them into the game so well. Super economical as well, and not in the way of lacking bravery, he would go for anything if it was the best ball on.
The 3 scores he created off Tomas O’Se in this years County Semi were just the best example of his ability i had seen in a while. Not many cuter than Tomas, but he out foxed him 3 times.
I think your recollection of Paddy Kelly in that game is a figment of your imagination and projected in the hope people don’t remember a game that happened 7 years ago.
Cork regularly shit themselves on the big today in Croke Park, a safe passage to the last 8 year on year and they managed to stumble over the line on one attempt against a Down side that came nowhere near close to an All Ireland final in the preceding and subequent years.
