VIDEO: Genius improvisation from Colm Cooper leaves Down defender grasping air

What’s that old phrase about talent and genius?

Well Colm Cooper it seems does what he wants, no matter what time of the season as the Kerry ace pulled off an outrageous piece of skill in Kerry’s league win in Newry this afternoon. The Dr Crokes man last featured for Kerry in the 2015 All-Ireland final, and scored two points on his season return today in the 0-22 to 0-6 win over the Mourne men. But it was this tweet that had us intrigued about his exploits in today’s game. https://twitter.com/Stevie_Poacher/status/703960279856648192 And thanks to TG4’s delayed coverage, we got a chance to see what all the fuss was about as the Gooch flicked the ball over a defender’s head along the sideline. Here it is in real-time. And here it is in close-up and slowed down. Illegal, maybe. Genius, most definitely.
