Kennelly's kick to himself

[lwoggardner]

Seemed like a pretty good option when you are basically jogging (or in Tadhg's case perhaps "jigging") on the spot and you know the ump wants to call you for "too far". Of course Tadhg tends to do that more than most.

Less likely to go spectacularly wrong than bouncing, less awkward than touching the ball to the ground, and if you've taken a whole year off playing Gaelic to practice, then why not.

Will we see more of it?

Did he get an effective kick on his stats???

[Auntie.Gerald]

good mark though

I believe in Gaelic it's called a 'solo'. Might need to create a new stat column

I thought he was having a "senior' moment. Retirement is looming near.

When the heat is on and stress levels are high, you tend to revert to instincts. Guess he never really lost those Gaelic Football instincts

That certainly explains why I went for a pie halfway through the last qtr at Manuka.

Does he get a stat for the kick? I'd be interested to know as I am giving him serious consideration for Dream Team this week. I think his form has been really good in the first two games - he is looking sure and steady and I'm glad we've got him back down there...

Argh!
I looked away for a moment and missed it!
Is there anywhere I can watch it?

The game is replayed at 09:30 on Fox tomorrow (Tues) morning if that option is available.

I'm sure one of our more adept members will get a YouTube vid together however.

Instictive, indeed. In Gaelic Football you can only bounce the ball twice before completing a kick, or a solo, so he was simply unable to bypass his earlier instinct of, "I can't bounce the ball for a third time."

good mark though

Somehow I don't think it went the required 15 metres...

[R-1]

It's a legit alternative to the bounce, correct?

He's kicked it so he has another 15m before he has to bounce or make a disposal.
