I have long banged the drum for stevo on here. Best keeper ever. Still stand by it. But today the baton passed to Clarke. Best keeper in Ireland in 2016. No question. Class act. Does it all and does it all well. Well done Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 18/09/2016 18:27:20 1915770 Link
Great game bar the meltdown he had towards end when he gifted Dublin 2 points yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 18/09/2016 18:32:08 1915772 Link

Class act. Does it all and does it all well. Well done" Is this the Mayo keeper you're talking about? Very ordinary...the only thing in his favour is that he's better than the man he replaced as keeper... In my opinion, if there's an All Star out there in a very ordinary year for keepers, I'd give it to the Tipp keeper PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1903 - 18/09/2016 18:52:03 1915780 Link
He had a load of dodgy kickouts; some straight to Dublin players and some where Mayo players were outnumbered 4 to 2. Also not great under the high ball. Good shot stopper though. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 18/09/2016 19:41:28 1915811 Link
Great shot stopper, some awful kickouts. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 18/09/2016 19:47:48 1915817 Link
Kicked 3 very poor kick outs in a row at a critical point in the game - one of which was connollys point - For s Mayo fan must have been as frustrating as seamus o Shea who gave the ball away 3 times in 2 minutes ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 18/09/2016 19:49:30 1915818 Link
I rate Clarke highly but a few kickouts went south yesterday at key points. Very solid shot stopper though and would always have him in front of Hennelly. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 19/09/2016 07:28:59 1915988 Link
Great shot stopper. Terrible kick out. Dodgy under the high ball yesterday and made poor decisions in terms of coming of line. Tipperary keeper is the all star for me. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 19/09/2016 09:14:32 1916019 Link
Clarke kept us in the game when we were on the brink in the 1st half. Few dodgy kickouts towards the end but a solid performance overall. Cluxton's kickouts are on another level to everyone elses (even though he had 2 or 3 dodgy ones). pdempsey (Mayo) - Posts: 1313 - 19/09/2016 09:31:03 1916032 Link

Although he made some excellent saves yesterday. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 19/09/2016 09:54:55 1916051 Link
Great keeper to save a goal from the opposition not from his own players!!!sorry!! Kick outs and distribution are shocking at times but look if he improves in the final he could get the all star. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 19/09/2016 15:05:39 1916346 Link
Ulster allstar Raymond Galligan is yer only man. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12118 - 19/09/2016 15:19:02 1916353 Link
Replying To Breffni39: "Ulster allstar Raymond Galligan is yer only man." Ridiculously good but hasn't got much praise outside of Ulster yet. Playing division 1 next year should raise his profile tho. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 19/09/2016 16:28:40 1916442 Link
