Kevin McStay was a selfish player. Conor Mortimer the same. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 27/08/2015 11:48:00 1777003 Link 0 |

Alan Brogan is the most selfish player ive ever seen play for Dublin.For that reason,ive never particularly liked him.I dont know what his shot conversion rate has been over the years,but i wouldnt imagine it is very high.I do remember M D McCauley racing through on goals in a couple of games in recent years,with a free man in a great goalscoring position,and then fisting the ball over the bar.Weve commented on this on the Dublin county page.I dont have much time for selfish players.Glory hunters,if you like.To be fair to Kerry,their players generally will always take the selfless option.I dont think their fellow team mates,management or,indeed the fans would tolerate a one man show pony. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 27/08/2015 12:11:20 1777022 Link 0 |

I always thought Kieran McDonald sacrificied himself for the team too much. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 27/08/2015 12:26:19 1777032 Link 0 |
Michael Murphy completely unselfish and always does things in the interests of the team. supporter (Donegal) - Posts: 205 - 27/08/2015 12:28:56 1777033 Link 0 |
uibhfhaili1986, Im not sure about that. McDonald went back that far to get the ball, but I think there was an element of selfishness in that -it wasn't always the best thing for the team. You never seen him making a dummy run, taking two defenders with him, and creating space for someone like Alan Dillon, who although not as flamboyant, was just as creative. Similarly, quick ball wasn't something he really did, even though his targets inside - Mortimer - would generally do much better with quick ball. I thought he indulged himself at times, always trying the extravagant pass, when a simple move done quickly might create a goal chance, so I suppose that is a selfish act.
