I have to agree with you. Trying to find a video off it.

Doohers scores in 2008, Maurice fitz' sideline against dublin or O'Neills against dublin in the league were quality.

However greatest point goes to any of the points scored by Greencastle in 2007 All Ireland Junior Final. Masterclass of scoring.

887519 Maurice Fitz's point was a sideline ball and as such he had time to prepare for the kick and was not in fear of being tackled !!
So i would always give it to Dooher !!


That's very poor reasoning. There's no other player in the country that would have kicked maurice's kick. Dooher's was a good kick but he's kicked better and i cant really see why were still talking about that kick.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Tommy Carr roaring at Maurice Fitz as he was taking the sideline ball ? Not the same I know but it gets my vote !

mikeoc,

Stephen Bray scored equally as good a points from the sideline a few years ago !!
My point (no pun intended) is that there is no pressure on the sideline kicker and if you judge the wind and distance they are not that hard !! Manys a one i scored myself !!

Can't believe some people think a Cavan lad drawing a boot at a ball from 21 yards is the best point ever.

McDonald's vs Dublin AI semi-final to win the game, best of all time no doubt.

You can close the thread now.

Ciaran Careys winning point for Limerick against All Ireland champions Clare in 1996 was the best.
