A 32 yr old ryan wylie put murtagh in his pocket in his first start all year"
If you want to come on to the Roscommon thread and slag off one of our best players ever, hear are the facts.

Monaghan v Roscommon.
Monaghan scored 1-20 against Roscommon and had 10 scorers. Stepen O Hallon did NOT score in that game.
Diarmuid Murtagh with practically no ball coming in to him scored 0-4 as Monaghan were well on top.

Monaghan v Louth.
Monaghan scored 2-18 against 14 men Louth and were beaten. Stephan O Hanlon had ONE score; a good goal.

Therefore in two critical championship matches where Monaghan scored a total of 3-38, Stephen O Hanlon only scored ONCE. Surely an All Star forward should not get an All Star for getting only one score in their last two championship matches.

Meanwhile Diarmuid Murtagh was second highest scorer to David Clifford in division 1 of the national league with 4-30. Monaghan were regulated.

Diarmuid Murtagh being marked by all star Enda Hession scored 1-10 against the All Ireland champions Mayo. He also scored 0-7 against a very strong Galway team in the Connacht final , and 0-8 against Tyrone.

How O' Hanlon, Scully and McDonald were picked ahead of Diarmuid this year is difficult to take for this die-hard Rossie.

Congratulations to Ronan Wallace on his well deserved All Star. Ronan leads by example with his fantastic attitude and enthusiasm. He has been the heartbeat of this team for many years now. Great ambassador for the county and above else an absolute gentleman. Well done also to Sam Mc Cartan, Matthew Whitaker and Brandon Kelly on their nominations. Proud night for the Lake county

Tomsmith Says Let Gaa Scrap The Allstars Or Confine It To Two Players Per County - 1 Like(s)
Personally, I lost interest in the All-Star awards many years ago and I never watch the ceremony. Originally, the awards were devised as a way of rewarding the best footballers and hurlers in their position regardless of how successful your county was. Throughout the years, players such as Kevin O'Brien (Wicklow, Matty Forde (Wexford) and Declan Browne (Tipperary) won All-Star awards. I've never met anybody who would disagree that these three players didn't deserve their All-Star award. If those three players were playing football today, they wouldn't win an All-Star award due to the fact that their county isn't good enough to reach an All-Ireland final. Even counties who win provincial titles only win one award on average. The other farce concerning the awards is that the team who win the All-Ireland are given more awards than the beaten team. The result of one game determines if a player is worth an All-Star. Previously, the merits of a player winning an All-Star was determined across the whole season and that players consistency throughout the season. All players who win an All-Star are exceptional players but I'd argue that there are players who have won awards in recent times who aren't the best players in their position, in the year they were given the award. I think the award criteria should be reviewed and revised as I don't think the current system is fair and discriminates against players who are brilliant individual players but have no chance of winning an All-Star award.
