One of my all time favourite scores. I actually listened to Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh commentary on radio that day. Awesome.

If it's an infamous one you want it would have to be big Joe's try v Louth 2010.
Wonder did Sludden ever ref again since.

Gerry Lohan's goal deep in injury time to beat Mayo by a point in the 2001 Connacht Final. Brilliant day and memories!!

Arra shtop. Some game. Great finish too. Rossies wishing us 'safe home now' as we left the Hyde! Lads thinking the time was up against lads that never say die.

Spot on Douglas_44, possibly my favourite too. Some other great memories for bruised Rossies out there, Derek Duggans injury time free in 1991 in Castlebar to tie it up was unreal.
However you probably have to give no 1 to Shane Curran's penalty in minor final injury time 2 years before, also in Castlebar. Such drama as he ran past the designated taker (who was under orders to tap it over for a draw) and buried it for a "win. Then all hell broke lose! Great times.

For me Cassidy's point stands out obviously being a Donegal man. I didn't get to that match as I was down at the Galway Races. We watched the game in Monroe's and I'll never forget it. When Cass launched over the winner we went bananas! It was such a great night's craic in Galway afterwards. It may also have been the last time I ever drank a Fat Frog.

Great score to win it in fairness. Shame there weren't more in attendance. I'm wondering once this pandemic mullarkey ends (which it will) will we all make more effort to go and watch matches live? Giving my age away here but the one and only time I was in Casement Park Cavan were winning an Ulster title.

1. Graham Geraghty last minute goal to break Louth hearts in Navan in 2002. Navan went absolutely bananas.
2. Offaly hurlers in 1994 going to town scoring 2-5 in the last 5 minutes to leave Offaly shell-shocked.
3. Brendan Reilly V Mayo in the infamous 1996 AI Replay.
4. Big Joes point to dethrone Tipperary in 2017 from way out under the Cusack stand.
5. Kevin Cassidy from 45 yards on his weaker foot against Kildare to keep the Jim McGuinness show on the road in 2011.
6. Cormac O Donovan to win the AI U21 for Clare against Kilkenny in 2009.
7. Rory McCarthy in 2003 to draw Wexford Level against Cork with the last puck of the match.
8.Numerous scores from the Waterford - Cork sagas of the 00's and early teens.
9. Fionn Fitzgerald V Cork in 2014 to draw Kerry level.

I can remember a Connacht club football final with a last minute goal being scored from about 30 yards out to win the game? or am I making this up.

2 of my favourites:
Cluxton v Kerry 2011 Final
Rock v Kerry 2019 (Drawn Final)

2 against the Dubs that still give me nightmares:
Maurice Fitz sideline 2001 QF
Ciaran McDonald 2006 SF

Funnily enough two of my all time favourite players outside of Dublin.

Some great last minute scores mentioned, as a neutral I think Maurice Fitz v Dublin 01, Cassidy v Kildare 11 and Cluxton v Kerry in 11 were all brilliant dramatic late scores to name but a few. As was Cork's winner v Kerry this weekend in fairness.

As a Meath fan I've seen us get plenty of dramatic late winners and equalisers over the years, particularly when we were a top team (many moons ago) such as Beggy v Dublin 91, Coyle & Reilly v Mayo 96, Murphy v Westmeath 01 and many others.

But one I really enjoyed which is a bit forgotten I think is Cian Ward's brilliant equalizer from the sideline v Dublin in 2007 to take game to a replay. We were down by 5 points in both first and second half of that game but we came on and dragged us back into it.

I was at the match. To be fair the majority of the crowd were in the old stand which is where the cameras were. So it looks a bit worse than it was. But yeah, I cant wait to get back to live matches. Missing it all badly.

A bit of bias here but Cannings point v Tipp from play in 2017 was pure magic.

I was at that match too. The roar from the crowd as it left the stick was something else! Things like that have been sorely missed this year
