Let he annual "it's a disgrace that so and so got the award" and "sure he only got it because he's from county x" and "how didn't this fella get in when your man who did get wouldn't lace his boots!" begin! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 23/10/2014 10:09:17 1666355 Link 0 |

Aidan O'Mahony, Aidan O'Shea and Ryan McHugh all had better years than some of the guys in the team. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 23/10/2014 10:23:40 1666368 Link 0 |
Pretty fair selction with the exception of Murphy in the half forward line. Should have been either Murphy or Donaghy and Ryan McHugh in the half forward line. McHugh now a nailed on cert for young Player of the Year. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1105 - 23/10/2014 10:31:29 1666375 Link 0 |

Dessie Mone has to the unluckiest player in the history of all stars. Has any other player been nominated 4 times and not one and all star. Its fair to say he will never win one now. Man of the match in 4 of his last 7 games and not rewarded i don't think McCarthy,Crowley and Boyle got a man of the match award between them. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1928 - 23/10/2014 10:36:34 1666381 Link 0 |

KingdomBoy1 I agree with you. AOS put in massive performances against Galway, Cork and Kerry with 14 men. We'd have lost 2 of those without him. Connolly done damage against wexford and meath but as soon as a division 1 team arrived he simply didn't perform. I think people had assumed that Dublin were going to do well this year and had Flynn and Connolly down as automatic choices from a long way back. But that sequence of events didn't materialise. McCarthy didn't deserve one either. Id have had o'mahoney and that young lad from Tipperary ahead of him. Flynn would be the only Dublin player that deserved to get one in my opinion. That seems harsh, but look you have to perform in big games. The way our performances against Sligo, Leitrim, London and New York are dismissed for these awards should also apply to most of Leinster at present. If guys have done well in the AI series then they shouldn't be kept out of the team by guys who played well in the provincials. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 23/10/2014 10:53:11 1666393 Link 0 |

Dessie seems destined not to get one at this stage, which is a great shame. He really can't do any more based on his own performances, it seems we need to get to a semi for him to be selected, but it's not his fault we didn't get there. He was unlucky last year not to get one I thought, and this year the half back line was much more open and Dessie was better than last year. He's one of the best wing-backs in the country and it's a shame he hasn't got this recognition, he's been brilliant pretty much every game since the start of the league. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 936 - 23/10/2014 11:01:55 1666396 Link 0 |
