Incorrect. Cian O’Sullivan dominated him in the second half and this was very clear from my vantage point in a Hogan Stand corporate box. Actually belated thanks to @Funtime for the matchday hospitality which wasn’t soured by @anon98850436 shedding blood during the second half.

Peter Canavan waxing lyrical on the Gooch on Today FM there now and how difficult it was to play against him even alluding to Tyrone having to resort to the darker arts to curtail him.

No it’s not.
You find it ‘silly’ as it doesn’t concur with your mantra of bullshit.
I find it silly as it is silly and if that’s the level of your debate then it doesn’t say much.
That’s a really good return given how tight those games were. Wouldn’t have guessed he scored that much from play in those finals

The Gooch had a better return rate from play against Tyrone in All Ireland finals than the record scorer in the Ulster Championship.
If you don’t see that as a remarkable statistic then you are a blind man.

One was a wing forward and the other was a corner forward.
Choosing one game as a sample is quite skewed as well.
Shows the desperation of your selection basis.

His display in the 1st half of the all Ireland semi final v Dublin in 2013 was outstanding.
I remember Dessie Mone cleaning him out of it in 2007.
How did he get on against Donegal?
Didn’t have much joy against Armagh either.
Not at all.
So are you disagreeing with Peter Canavan’s eulogising of the Gooch?
What do you contend that I am disagreeing with?
Like Padraig Joyce?
It was. But as @Bandage and @Nembo_Kid have mentioned, his Lord Lucan impression in the 2nd half was pretty impressive too.

What about Padraig Joyce?
For an ex player, praising Gooch is the most sure fire thing to get you a gig on GAA reporting in the free state.

Peter the Great was describing Cooper as of the the greatest to ever play. He referred to his own team mates resorting to ‘alternative’ means ofcurtauling his influence.
He also said he had all the attributes of Sheehy, Jack O Shea and Pat Spillane.

He could be a murderer too. Could also be in the RA. He could be anything he wants.
