Congrats to our six all stars winners. Two great interviews with Andy Moran and Jack Carney were released this week. What grounded and articulate men they are. Anyone thinking Mayo will be happy with one All Ireland and disappear off into the sunset are severely mistaken. Up Mayo !

Replying To letsgetgoing: "Armagh and Westmeath did not manage to get into the All Ireland Quarter finals this year but still managed to get an All Star. After the year that Diarmuid Murtagh had this year in both the National League and championship I think he was very unlucky not to get an All Star.
Well done to all the winners." Yes Armagh and Westmeath winning All Stars puts to bed once again that the view a team needs reach the All-Ireland Quarter-final at least to win one.
Armagh like ourselves had two games and two defeats after winning their provincial championship. Beaten by Louth and hammered by Kerry. They had a worse Division 1 campaign than us including a loss to us.
Westmeath after their Leinster success. Beat Cavan after extra-time and lost to Galway and Monaghan. League campaign didn't get out of Division 3.
I agree Diarmuid very unlucky hasn't been 6 better forwards than him over the year ln eague and championship IMO. Kobe McDonald selected in the full forward line played further out he should be named instead of Scully,O Hanlon in the half forward line with Diarmuid at 15.

Surely Charlie McMorrow deserved an All star before Jarly Burns!

There will always be some gripes and people will often complain about who should be in, without saying who should be left out in their place.
However, nothing against Jarly Óg, but I was surprised he got an award. I can't say he stood out massively and Armagh were dumped out of the championship quite early. I thought McMorrow had a better and more impactful year.
Paudie is also unlucky, but with O'Donoghue moved out to centre forward as both of Mayo's young guns deservedly got awards inside, it left limited room.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Maybe but Dublin never getting 2 All Stars in a year they played poorly on at least 2 occasions. If McMorrow got wing back then Oisin Conaty probably get wing forward ahead of NS." Kerry played poorly on at least two occasions, as did Mayo. It was a very even year overall, with no team consistently good. Dublin were extremely unlucky not be in the final. They outplayed Kerry in their semi-final.

Replying To peiledoir20: "To be fair I don't think it was the pressure that beat them in the seniors. They just came up against more battled hardened and experienced teams.
They have a great record at minor and U21 level of late and I'd expect that to continue.
And their time will come at senior level eventually and when it does they'll be hard to stop." Haha yeah I agree, My last post was more tongue-in-cheek to see if I could get a bit of craic going. The forum is really dead these days.
Four Masters away to Gaoth Dobhair tomorrow. That will be a good test. Gaoth Dobhair under a wee bit of pressure after narrowly losing to Termon.

There will always be teams with more experienced players who have gone further in championship. How long does that crop of players go without getting success. They won't beat Naomh Conaill, Eunans, Gaoth dobhair or Glenswilly in the next 3 years and I'll safely say that. They lack physicality and it was badly exposed against St Michael's, they were schooled by Langan mcelhinney and McLaughlin. You can be great footballers at minor and u21 where there's lots of space and allowed to play football, senior is a whole other story

Replying To keeper7: "Have Four Roads any chance against Tooreen in The Hyde on Saturday?" Four Roads fell over the line twice against Oran and lost to Dominic's and then beat in the final in no small part to Dominic's finishing the game with 14 players.
Maybe Oran and Dominic's have improved or get closer to Four Roads or the latter has regressed either way it will take a brave punter to not tip Tooreen to win comfortably and the odds speak for themselves in that regard with Tooreen 1/10 to win.

Replying To monaghanmad: "Murtagh didnt look like much of an all star in clones this year, when push came to shove in the 2nd half he couldny be found. That is where all stars appear." You could say the same about Stephen O'Hanlon in Croke Park against a 14 man Louth for 62 minutes.
Likewise how many of the Mayo All Star winning defenders looked like All Stars in Clones v Monaghan when 2-20 was conceded and you were without O'Hanlon due to injury. Years work than one match is where individual player awards should be decided.
