Replying To endgame:  "Missed a two pointer near the end when his team needed him most. He's a great player no doubt. The greatest is Matt Connor Offaly."

Replying To peiledoir20:  "Well let's compare like for like.

The general consensus was that both Clifford and Con had "quiet" games in their semi final a couple of weeks. Agreed?

Con returned 0-2(tp) while Clifford notched 1-5."

Replying To TheUsername:  "Id honestly prefer 6 scoring forwards playing with variance then doing what Kerry do or what Clifford brings.

As nice as it is to watch and as good as he is at it, its telegraphed and one dimensional on a team, over all i think its undermining.

From that point of view i wouldn't have him in the conversation.

Good player though."

Replying To Fionn:  "Look everyone is going to be defensive and protective of their own county and club, and players from their own county and club. It is only natural.

For me the King Con is better than King David.
And Prince Kobe has the potential to be better than both.

My personal view on rating how good a player is his ability, skill, scoring, creativity, defensive attributes, team work and workrate.
For me overall Con is better.
Add to that what Con has achieved in Both codes.
Phenomenal.

DC is one of the best forwards of all time.
Better than Con in the scoring charts for sure.
But the GOAT - nope.

Maybe I am biased but that is my opinion."

Replying To brayballer:  "I think your dislike of Kerry is tainting your vision a little Fionn.Con is a great player but nearly every former great and pundits from outside Kerry reckon young Clifford is the best they seen and all say he is the best right now by a country mile.He has done things that even Dermo could nt do.Speaking of Dermo.Dermo thinks same and I think Dermo was better than Con.Young Cliffords scoring is off the charts."

Replying To eoinog:  "Football is constantly evolving and there is always new footballers coming along taking their place on the Pinnacle of the ladder. Some brilliant players were unable to stay on top of their game due to distractions and I am sure you can all name at least 10 to 15 that fall into that category. Matt Connor was a brilliant, brilliant player and due to the sad way his career finished people definitely look at him through Rose tinted glasses. In the All Ireland final of 82 he didn't have a particularly good game and only scored one solitary point from play. Yet Clifford scores 1.6 last Sunday from play and people say where was he in the second half?
Clifford will never get enough recognition for what he is doing while he is still playing football. He will need to be retired 10 or 15 years before his greatness will be appreciated. I don't believe there is any such thing as a GOAT. Just appreciate every good footballer and enjoy the entertainment they provide."
