"Scholes amazing player but I could name a dozen Gaelic footballers who could pass like this given the same time and space,' Galvin wrote on social media", Galvin tweeted. "Cooper, Connolly, McDonald, McGuigan, S O Neill, Moynihan, Donnellan, Joyce, Fitzmaurice from my era could all pass with this accuracy with even less time and space.'"Maybe I should have said retired players but the soccer aficionados know better and own all opinions on the beautiful game." https://twitter.com/pgal10/status/1662021420921102336 After a few hours of back and forth, and many tweets later, Galvin tweeted the point that Gaelic players have much less space and time on the ball. He then went on to list a number of players who are capable of playing passes as accurate as the Manchester United legend, despite the modern game not affording them much time on the ball. "Lively debate w/soccer experts last night. Gaelic footballers can pass (from the hand) w/this accuracy, less time & space & more physical contact. Modern game doesn’t allow it but doesn’t mean players can’t do it. Cliffords, Canavans, Walsh, Cluxton, Morgan, Beggan R O Neill." Related links:
