Did you miss Dyer’s second for us away to Bohs? Or Warren Davis for Drogheda away to Shels?
Or Hurley last night from 5 yards inside his own half against Pats?
I know it’s one opinion against another, but those three were all special

Thought Eldings goal in Tolka was better so not even the best goal in Tolka

You may jest, but years ago one ambulance callout I had the misfortune of being present for was a young halfwit had scaled a gaelic football post during a game (have no idea why) and in getting down he slid down the post like firemans pole, forgetting the crossbar and the bolts that kept it in place. Used a polystyrene cup to scoop things up ( still attached but dangling free) and taped it where things should be roughly be hanging. My radio call to the ED (pun there too if you like) was busted balls at a football match en route!

Knew there was another Tolka one I was missing - and one in Tallaght as well?

Yeah there has been three similar outstanding strikes at Tolka this season against Shels that hit the top corner all potential goal of the season contenders - Davis for Drogheda, Elding for Sligo and now Duffy for Derry

I would also rate Elding's the best as it was out of nowhere when he had a moment of space, Davis and Duffy's strikes while superb were aided by Shels' full-backs weakly standing off that you could see what has going to happen when they cut-in from the flank if they struck the ball on target towards the corner
