"Rory Beggan taking goalkeeping to an entirely different level in Pairc Esler. Playing like a man who won an All Star at the weekend," said Down legend Mark Poland.https://twitter.com/polie11/status/1059100785810776064 And he still got some criticism for it. It's a little reminder for Rory Beggan of who he is now and where he stands now that there were still a few people with the brass neck to criticise him. One man who's proud of his brass neck is Joe Brolly and with the Derry man present in Páirc Esler for the game, he couldn't help himself. With praise raining in on Beggan from all angles, lauding his scoring return and eulogizing about his rocket kickouts, Joe Brolly tried at least, to bring him down to earth.
"He did a quick one two and popped it over. Spends a lot of time standing out around the middle. If he tried that against Crossmaglen Rangers they’d score about ten goals," he tweeted.
We're all well aware that the king of exaggerating is probably only exaggerating for extra effect here. Joe Brolly knows well that a class act like Rory Beggan will sit back when he has to and when he should.
