Irish Examiner\u2019s Gaelic football podcast<\/a>, available to all Examiner subscribers, Horan heralded the Kerry star, who kicked six points to help his club overcome Ballyboden St Enda\u2019s after extra-time.<\/p>\n\u201cIt is funny, I watched the game back again the day after just to get a proper flavour it because during it, you are caught up, the big comeback is on, the extra-time, everything that goes with it, your opinion of the game might be slightly higher than it should be.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you go back and look at the first half of that game, Ballyboden could and probably should have been out of sight. The amount they missed, they weren\u2019t difficult chances. Dingle\u2019s first half, from a lot of their players, wasn\u2019t what it should have been.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exception to that was Tom O\u2019Sullivan. The amount of ball that he carried, the amount of running he did in the first half, was phenomenal. It was right through the game. The scoring came as a result of his incisive runs and the amount of ball he got.<\/p>\n
Paul is getting a huge amount of deserved plaudits, I thought Tom O\u2019Sullivan during the whole game, when things were good and things were bad, was absolutely exceptional.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several of their big players stood up after half-time. Paul Geaney came on and kicked eight points. Mark O\u2019Connor was a huge presence in the middle. Conor Flannery was outstanding at six.<\/p>\n
\u201cMark O\u2019Connor, quiet at times, but grew stronger and stronger as the game went on,\u201d said Horan.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is not without a fair share of skill either. I think his footpassing and handpassing is top level. It is always into the sweet spot of the runner. The foot pass is top-spin, bounce into the attacker. Their big guys did come strong. Paul (Geaney) coming on then added to the fairytale that the Dingle story is becoming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dingle\u2019s spirit and refusal to yield were encapsulated in Tom O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s performance, according to former Mayo manager James…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,22,6,129,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,119,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-269661","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-headlines","15":"tag-hurling","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-latest-news","19":"tag-latestnews","20":"tag-main-news","21":"tag-mainnews","22":"tag-news","23":"tag-sport","24":"tag-top-stories","25":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115846352961177466","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
