Hurling All star predictions

(Oldest Posts First)

My predictions
Murphy
Barrett
Barry
Burke
Walsh
Maher
Maher
Burke
Barron
Gleeson
Maher
McGrath
Hogan
Callinan
McGrath
That's the way I see them been given. Personally I'd have both Tipp midfielders in there. Barron is like Cian Osuilljvan. Was so under rated the media now have him over rated!
Personally I thought Cillian Buckley was hurler of the year up to the Waterford games but was poor after.
It'll be a crime if Callinan gets hurler of the year before Maher but he looks nailed on.

P Maher had a great year but it certainly wouldn't be a crime if S Callinan won player of the year.Thats a ridiculous comment.

excellent selections tiobrad....only for a few bad errors in the munster final i think stephen o keeffe would have got the no.1 jersey. have to agree with cruderocket though by saying it wouldnt be a crime if callinan got HOTY over Maher but im sticking to my guns!!! Gleeson double

Well a crime is a bit of an exaggeration but it would be ridiculous considering Padraic Maher was most definitely the best player in the country this year. Callinan was far better the past two years

Austin Gleeson getting senior hurler of the year?After playing poorly and getting walloped out the gate by Tipp in Munster final and not even reaching the All Ireland final.Personnally,i think it is a poor decision and how either Callanan or Maher didn't win it i don't know.

Dan turned it on for the Munster final in 2007 which Waterford won.Austin Gleeson and Waterford were thought a hurling lesson and humiliated by Tipp in this years Munster final.Again!Even Derek McGrath admitted it post game.

I thought Callinan took along time to get going in this years Championship ,due injury of course . Gleeson had a few poor games but played some amazing hurling in alot of games. Maher was great all round but Gleeson is special. In fairness its was a tough call.

the biggest joke Glesson getting hurler of the year, he was taking off in the Munster final. P Maher didn't put a foot wrong all year.

It was as clear as daylight that Gleeson is POTY. Not even the shadow of a doubt about it. If you did'nt/couldn't see that after the year's hurling was done, then...!!!???

Ah would you stop, thoroughly deserved. When have ever before seen a 21 year been the main man at senior inter county level ? He single handed drove them on so many times. So much potential still to come.

Inside information??!!
Walter Walsh was widely tipped to get one but I still wouldn't agree with it
I think Noel McGrath was a real unsung hero for Tipp this year. He got Tipp moving in a number of games when they went periods without scoring. In general it's hard to argue with the team. Although I do think both Tipp midfielders are unlucky to lose out.

That should not matter. Both Cork midfielders were taken off in most of the games in the 2010 championship, yet Adian Walsh got an All star before John Galvin, who starred V both Cork and Kerry and in every other game and was man of the match in the Munster Final scoring 1.4 from midfield. The All Stars awards have long been a joke.

No inside info.Just two eyes i trust.We both got 14/15 correct although i correctly predicted Bonnar to get a wing forward gong while you thought he'd get one at 11.
