Congrats to Cillian O Connor. Some achievement to win the award 2 years on the trot. Turning into a serious talent, he is coolness personified.

Will the name of this thread be changed now?

Would genuinely have some sympathy for young Keoghan. It's hard to think that in 97 Kildare got three All-Stars and we didn't even get to the Leinster final. I suppose in a year where the four provincial winners win their quarter finals it's going to be hard for other teams to get players considered but right now the degree of importance being placed between the 7 games from quarter final on and the rest of the GAA year is completely skewed. And that goes for all teams, not just Meath.

It won't change one bit he IS the ypoty, O'Connor is not a patch on him but conrats to the lad, but keoghan is still very much the talent of the year,

Afraid not. Whoever wins it wins it royaldunne. That was Meath's mentality in 2010 wasn't it? Unless somethings changed, has it?

If the players pick the Ypoy award then Meath were in a lot of trouble . It seem its Meath against the rest since that day ye wouldn't give Louth a replay.

Not ay all double, he was by far the best under twenty three player this year, but as can be seen by this thread there is alot of anti meath bias still going on and thats reason he didn't get it but we shall not be doing a louth and going to courts etc, we will wish the other young lad well and look forward to donal ramming it down the throats of the "experts "
Having said all that when did it's change that it didn't have to be your first champ season?

I would love to see O'Connor face keoghan hopefully next year we gey the chance, if im correct donal would be his opposite marker, that would put iy to bed once and for all, donal would have him in a tissy

Yeh I said because the players from around the country are picking it a Meath player won't get it. And it has been Meath against the rest since long before 2010! I think what happened in 2010 is only minor in the overall scheme of things!

Kelf id love to see you using your own county rather than jumping on kildare bandwagon, grow a pair and support your OWN county, as for gammy we all said he wouldn't get it but we all know he is the best in it by a country mile now run along im sure you will find another anti meath agenda to help fuel your bitterness

Did dublin give kildare or kerry a replay last year when they got dodgey frees to win? Did mayo offer dublin a replay for faking injury this year and using too many subs? All everyone seem to focus on leinster im ten?, trust me no replay was required" what happens during game remains in the game mistakes and all

I am delighted for our own Cillian as news filtered through last night at the 2-21 semi finals in Castlebar but I have to be honest here and say I was slightly surprised. Cillian had a super year and some of the free kicks he took were ice cool but I did think Mark McHugh or Donal Keoghan would have been the front runners. I see one meath poster has posted that he hopes Meath meet mayo next year so Donal can show that he is far superior to Cialian....come of it. That is more the disappointment of him not winning YPOTY than anything but Keoghan was unlucky not to win but Cillian IS the winner.

Leave it out! You're soon becoming the most annoying poster on HS... doing yourself no favours.

We get it.. you love Meath GAA etc

But you have feck all at present to be sticking your chest out over... stop crowing on about Meath until you have something to ACTUALLY be proud of...

Meath GAA in 2012 - Beaten by Dublin GAA in 4 Finals... Knocked out of the Championship by Laois.

Now you're still banging on about your young Meath lad.... he didnt deserve to win it this year. Now next year... all the best to the chap... but he wont be coming in under the radar as an unknown in 2013.

Drop the cheerleading act would ya!
