Be patient though. Not sure if that your best attempt but no doubt some of the newer posters will take the bait lol. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 04/04/2021 18:13:54 2335959 Link

Yes either that or Cavan's all-Ireland semi defeat last year, what on earth you on about man? As far as losing the game is concerned, I put a lot of it down to wasting Paul Curran on Mickey Linden. And missing another penalty of course :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8585 - 04/04/2021 18:51:12 2335967 Link

That was a very good Dublin team and they eventually got the trophy a year later. Suas Sios (None) - Posts: 1550 - 04/04/2021 18:54:18 2335968 Link

During the first lockdown I watched the classic Down v Derry match from 1994. A great way to spend an hour or so. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13704 - 04/04/2021 19:11:29 2335971 Link

Jayo's impact the following year showed the pace and direct play that was missing jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/04/2021 19:13:52 2335972 Link

Great game enjoyed watching it again today. That Down team were a class act and possibly could have won more had they not played in such a competitive era. Grey Blaney was a train at centre forward he got through an unbelievable amount of work and was probably Downs most important player 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 316 - 04/04/2021 19:29:07 2335976 Link

And that penalty was saved :) ( by our club goalie) Suas Sios (None) - Posts: 1550 - 04/04/2021 19:51:09 2335980 Link

Replying To Suas Sios: "Was it not Paul Clarke who was tasked with marking Linden?

Not a man marker anyway. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8585 - 04/04/2021 23:13:39 2335993 Link

You were right, Curran was on him from the start but they switched Clarke to him second half. Curran was immense in '95 from wing back.
