Diarmuid Murtagh deserves an all star from a Westmeath man. Roscommon winning Connacht by beating mayo and Galway one of the stories of the year. Provincial is still a major part of our champ season . And Connacht should be awarded

Replying To Spinx:  "The county board should not allow Killashee to concede a championship game that has bearing on the relegation spot.
If true, that is a disgrace by Killashee.
They should be thrown out of the championship and relegated."
I heard it's because of some bizarre rule where because Cashel scored more goals in the head to head fixture between them and Killoe, that Killoe now cannot overtake Cashel in the table.

Replying To jobber:  "A perfect description. The manager needs to take this into account or he will lose support across the hurling clubs."
Surely time to give Alan Mangan a chance

Replying To brayballer:  "Great Ciaran got a nomination but cant see him getting one.The All stars will be mainly Mayo with a few Kerry as the finalists get more.Scully has to get one and McMorrow and Davy B have a good chance but dont think we will get three.O Donohue will probably get poty but for me young Clifford was way ahead of him over the year and his scoring showed that.

The man that marked young Clifford best was Davy and he should get an all star along with McMorrow and Scully but we wont get three.If Mayo had lost the final Im not sure they would get any back on the team.Maybe one."
Clifford is the best scorer by a mile, but O'Donoghue does a lot more than score. His influence on Mayo is massive. He's one of the best tacklers as a forward, and this was crucial to Mayo's success. He also drops deep and carries the ball, which he's brilliant at, taking huge pressure off the team, linking play and creating chances. For the style of game Mayo play, they wouldn't have won the All-Ireland without O'Donoghue.
Clifford is the best forward I've ever seen, but he doesn't tackle, and he doesn't carry the ball from defence to attack. Nor should he have to. Leave him to do what he's best at. No point wasting him doing things he mightn't be suited to.
However, there's a lot more to a player's game and how it impacts the team than scoring. Trevor Giles wasn't a prolific scorer, but he was brilliant at tackling, winning breaking ball, passing and creating chances. That's what won him his player of the year awards. He chipped in with scores too, as does Ryan O'Donoghue to an even greater degree.
