Replying To 97Cavans: "Ciaran McCabe Down vs Derry 1994 https://youtu.be/6GvTBsA_TaA Declan Meehan Galway vs Kerry 2000 https://youtu.be/gztboz0pYno" Good call. The build up and vision from PJ and Paul Clancy unreal. Length of the field. Meath v Dublin '91 also length of the field and O'Shea goal in '81 also. All great team goals. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1730 - 10/06/2020 08:59:07 2280240 Link
Replying To green.and.gold: "James Glancys volleyed last minute goal for Leitrim v Donegal in a 2007 qualifier brought the game to extra time in which Donegal scraped through, don't think it's on YouTube but it was a magnificent goal." Yes remember that. Brilliant goal. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1730 - 10/06/2020 09:01:35 2280242 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "I think u right. That point in my opinion was the best I have ever seen. And that's not just my bias. I actually didn't appreciate it as much at the game (knew it was a excellent score) but Only when I saw the match later u couldn't actually see a way he could score from that position, yet he did" Galway's Paul Clancy scored a similar one to this in the Connacht semi final in 2000 up in Sligo. And it was bucketing rain plus windy. Two great scores. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1730 - 10/06/2020 09:08:18 2280243 Link
Mulligan's goal. Stevie O'Neill scores an absolute savage of a goal against Meath/Mayo...can't mind, maybe 2006? M.Meehan free off the ground against Cork(I think) was a great goal. Hurling.....Shane O'Donnells was excellent. Who was the lad who pulled on it off the ground from about 35 yards and flew into the top corner.....Galway man I think from years ago?

On the hurling goal from the ground, are you referring John Fenton's goal for Cork against Limerick? It's still an iconic strike. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 875 - 10/06/2020 13:58:17 2280284 Link
Mulligans goal for me. The occasion, the atmosphere, the dummy.... A perfect storm. The other goal that meets that same criteria is McMenamins goal in 2011. Magic memories. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 3976 - 10/06/2020 14:38:42 2280290 Link
There will be no greater goal in terms of impact in gaelic football's history than Seamus Darby in 1982. And it is the one that will be still shown in 100 years time when a lot of others are forgotten about. shirleybull (Roscommon) - Posts: 3 - 10/06/2020 15:19:19 2280299 Link

No doubt about that.I was but a child at the time but I still remember watching that goal hit the roof of the Kerry net. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 1275 - 10/06/2020 16:14:03 2280310 Link

Mcmenamin wasn't a dummy, it was a rugby carry - he took 11 steps! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 4135 - 10/06/2020 16:49:25 2280315 Link

Outside of the left boot into the top corner into the Hill? Not sure of the year, 06 maybe? MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13145 - 10/06/2020 18:02:04 2280324 Link

However I think both while excellent fall into the category of defining scores rather than great goals. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 10/06/2020 19:13:37 2280335 Link

Fridge, you probably mean John Fenton's goal for Cork vs Limerick from 1987, I think! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 31 - 13/06/2020 06:30:05 2280576 Link
TG4 are showing the 1989 allireland hurling semifinal between Antrim and offaly tomorrow at 2:30, yell see some great goals in that. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 11732 - 13/06/2020 09:51:23 2280586 Link
Replying To MesAmis: "O'Neill's was against Mayo I think. Outside of the left boot into the top corner into the Hill? Not sure of the year, 06 maybe?" 2004. Fine strike. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 1803 - 13/06/2020 11:45:56 2280604 Link
Replying To WanPintWin: "A great finish. I remember being up in Castlebar for that. I believe that's the game in which Mortimer missed a 20m free in front of the posts, which would have put Mayo ahead late on. Joyce went up the up other end and kicked us in front. All seemed well in Galway football at the time, but that was a good as it was going to get for a long time. We were very lucky to win that game. Mayo were on top for most of the match, but kicked it away." Can't bate experience, Mayo were indeed ahead for most of the game but Galway had the cool heads to see it out near the end. I seem to remember that after Mortimer's miss one of the ball boys came on and lashed the ball over the bar from the same spot out of pure frustration. That Galway team were class and could easily have sneaked another All-Ireland, the 2000 drawn game against Kerry was definitely one that got away.

We had Kerry on the rack for the whole second half, made a great comeback, but just couldn't get the winner. There were a couple of great chances at the end that we should have finished. As happens, Kerry showed their class in the replay. The lads made amends in the best way in 2001, but opportunities to beat Kerry in an All-Ireland final are few and far between for us.
