Who at your club is the best passer of the ball, if any?
At Derry without a shadow of a doubt - Ruirdhi Higgins.
This is prompted on a discussion between my good self and a mate regarding the lack of ballplayers in the league.

I would have to say at Dundalk it would be Sean Finn great control and passing is sublime. Hopefully he can do it friday night for us.:)
That was a superb ball by Beckett in to Farren against Longford, he can't be much behind Higgins?Quote:

As far as City are concerned, definitely Neale Fenn.
Always looking to pick out a killer pass . . . . . to a frustrating level in fact.
Anytime, he's scored it's cos there's someone wearing a City jersey behind the net.
Great to watch though.
At the Drogs at the moment its Paul Keegan - for such a young guy he knows how to read a game and pick out a pass
Liam Burns,although it hard to call.
he rarely misplaces it...but he hardly splits defences now does he?Quote:

michael foley at pats
I don't think we have any players capable of passing this season ! But when on form Paul Caffery is one of our better passers, Franco would be up there too....
Gary Dicker at UCD.
Why is he not first choice?Quote:

Higgins lacks the mobility of Martyn and the tackling of Molloy. He still remains the best passing player we have got though.
Gary Beckett had his best game in a Derry shirt in a long time on Saturday night, but as a striker his game is not all passing as he would rarely see the ball in some away games. However, I believe Ruiadhri's range of passing surpasses that of any player in the team. Did you not see the range of passes he played last week against Drogheda when he came on? They were fantastic.
Anyway, I was only looking to find out what other players I could look out for in the EL who could cut open defences as I'll be looking out for those guys when Derry play them.
Not sure who could claim it for Harps... Minno is brilliant at the aul through balls at times but I'd give it to Luca for his sheer precision when passing - I remember in 2004 when he was right back the amount of great through balls for the forward to rush on to - twas fantastic. Funston and Gethins are also really good.
He must really struggle for goals when Cork have lost a few. :pQuote:

Dicker isn't that great a passer imo. Certainly the most incisive and creative passer is Ronan Finn.Quote:
