Not being biased but I think Donal Og has been outstanding so far this year.

i agree that over the last 5 years cluxton has been consistently the best in ireland but this year it is definitely pascal. as much as some of them he couldn't save you can't get an all-star after conceding 5 goals. pascal only conceded 1 goal and 4 or 5 top saves. makes himself big and imposing. kickouts have been much improved this year as well.

cluxton is the best all round keeper in ireland without a shadow of doubt but big pascal from tyrone is playing great football and if he keeps it up he would deserve an all star

Pascal McConnell must be an all star this year.

Donal og by a mile. Pure brilliance. Even managed a bit of a solo run against Waterford.

he didn't look overlly comfortable on that run. Reminded me of an under 12 the way he kept his eye on teh ball and bouncing it every so often.

Cluxton & Mc Connell both fantastic keepers.

This rubbish about Cluxtons bad game against Meath, a keeper is only as good as his full back line & the Dubs full back line that day was at sea.

Cluxton is a the complete package, confident, great hands & shot stopper beautiful kicker of the ball.

Mc Connell has huge presence.

Im a big fan of Brendan Murphy of Meath also very efficient keeper.

whats wrong with you pudders??? what do you mean donl og was like a 12 yo the general consensis withn the gaa community is that he is the best at the moment im getting sick of this holier than thou attitude from a lot of kk fans jumping on the great sucess of thieir team as if they themselfs have contributed in some meaningful way to their sucess and dont dare question them!!! mabe ye should take aleaf out of the kk teams persona and show a little humility and RESPECT

i agree that his defence was bad and every keeper would have conceded 3 but i think there was a couple in there he could and maybe should have saved namely the one he got a hand to and the one that went through his legs. maybe i'm just being too critical as a goalkeeper myself.

Pascall Mc Connell in football
Donal Og in hurling.

Have been very impressed with both. Donal og made a save against Waterford that was breath taking. He just took it down on the stick with ease. So cool under
pressure aswell.

Cluxton is more of an attacking goalkeeper.

brendan mcveigh for has a good season for down and has made no mistakes between the sticks

i thought mcveigh could have done better with the two goals against donegal

Havent seem much of mcveigh so cant comment and big pascal has done well with good saves in the games ive watched , cluxton has been poor imo has anyone noticed he always seems to punch the ball if theres a high ball in and anybody within 5 yards of him, got beaten on his near post for the 1st of the 5 goals v Meath and should hav egotten a hand to wards but could have been unsighted when I seen the video , Brendan murphy for Meath has been v good for us although hasnt had to much to do in regards shot stopping but has been v solid under the high ball
