Connolly is the most complete player in the game at the moment. James O Donoghue and Michael Murphy are the other two names that seem to be getting thrown around in this debate. How Mcguiness used Murphy over the last few years is really doing him an injustice. Murphy is at his best inside the 40. when he moves outside that area his influence on a game seriously dwindles. As for O Donoghue, he is a fantastic man to score, goals in particular. That is his forte. In saying that I won't deny that he contributed massively in the final whilst he wasn't a prolific scorer on the day. Connolly stands out for the sole reason he does everything these two do and a lot more. Connollys ability in the air is fantastic. He is undoubtedly the best two footed kicker of a ball around(maybe just ahead of Gooch). His work rate is phenomenal. His ability to mix it physically is 2nd to none. His long range shooting ability and his ability to score goals is immense. he is also a fantastic playmaker who can open up teams with his passing. i honestly don't think there is a footballer at the moment with a skill set to touch him.

Connolly is a fine player. O'Donoghue has definitely been player of the year though. Treaty_Exile (Limerick) - Posts: 386 - 22/10/2014 14:27:01 1666123 Link 0 |

I can't help think that this talk of describing Connolly as 'without doubt' and 'by far' the best player in the country is a continuation of Dublin being talked of as being 'by far' and 'without doubt' the best team in the country (or of all time, according to some). How he be 'without doubt' the best player in the country when he's not the best player in the country? Treaty_Exile (Limerick) - Posts: 386 - 22/10/2014 15:03:39 1666142 Link 0 |

Diarmuid Connolly is prob the best skillful player in the country at the moment. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 22/10/2014 15:20:18 1666152 Link 0 |
Not singling you out Mick. I'm having a good chuckle at a lot of the posts on this thread, mainly from Dublin posters. They're still a bit miffed that things didn't go to script this year ;-) Treaty_Exile (Limerick) - Posts: 386 - 22/10/2014 15:21:01 1666153 Link 0 |
O'donoghues best performances have been far better than connollys best performances this year. Connolly had a great first half against Donegal and was good for the rest of the game. Before that game dublin averaged 16 point wins in championship. Connelly was very hot and cold in these games as he missed as many as he scored. O'donoghue played class in every game except the final where he was good. People on this site can have very short memories and over the course of the COUNTY championship 2014 Odonoghue has been better pat_custard (Meath) - Posts: 125 - 22/10/2014 15:21:36 1666154 Link 0 |
