Replying To yew_tree:  "Anyway back to reality…11 all star nominations.
Who do we think will get them? A big debate is Beirne or Kobe for YPOTY."
Think Mayo will win 7.

D McHugh,E Hession,D McBrien;J Carney,K McDonald, D Berine and O Donoghue

I agree with others Berine had the better year but journalists will pick Kobe for young player of the year.

Ryan O'Donoghue to win player of the year.

Replying To Lockjaw:  "You'd be as well to pick a winner in the MacCumhaills - GD match as I will be using the winning margin whether it's normal or ET."
Gaoth Dobhair win on pens 4-2

Replying To fainleog:  "I think Darragh Beirne should get young player of the year, his contribution in the All-Ireland final was huge, scoring that
great goal and scoring 1-3 in total was so significant. He also played a significant part in general play. He also scored a total of 3-18 in the championship. A significant weighting has to be given for his performance in the All-Ireland final.
Who was the Mayo player that punched the ball out the field on the 67th minute when Paudie Clifford attempted to pass to a colleague?. That was an important interception, although Kerry won the ball back further out."
I think that was Paddy Durcan

Replying To FullOfPorter:  "That has to be Beirne. Kobe McDonald is a brilliant raw talent but I think the media hype over-amplifies the actual performances. I would say he has had great moments but Darragh Beirne put in more consistent performances."
Darragh Beirne would be a worthy winner too but Kobe was consistently very good since his debut vs Monaghan in the league.

0-6 vs Roscommon in connacht championship. Our best player on that bleak day
1-4 vs Monaghan in a one point win
3 points in the first half vs meath when we were being destroyed all over the pitch
4 points from play in All Ireland quarter final
4 points from play in All Ireland semi final
3 points in second half of All Ireland final

Kobe also had some eye catching displays of high fielding throughout the championship.

Replying To Kew:  "It's shocking that rte dont have any GAA on a Saturday. Tg4 has Aussie rules on. It's crazy"
No its not shocking. Lets be realistic, the County Club Championship matches likely draw very low viewing figures, and RTE get better audiences by having Gogglebox or something else on. And whether we like it or not, they will go with what attracts the most viewers usually.

The Club Championships need a major marketing overhaul, particularly at Provincial and All Ireland level.
GAA should be airing adverts in the run up to their launch, and also during these Championships, highlighting which Clubs are involved and what County and Province they represent, and who they will potentially meet in the next round and outline of that Championship etc.

In order to gain a much bigger audience buy-in, I just think we need to market the Club Championships better. I don't think we necessarily need to change anything about Competition structures etc, just change how these are marketed to the National audience, to attract viewers who might not ordinarily watch one of these games.

Replying To Hawkeye2:  "With regards to the Intermediate Champ , I definitely believe that the progress of Western Gaels and Arklow Rocks in getting to the final, is in some part related to the second teams of Bray, Carnew & Glenealy not being as strong as they once were."
I cannot speak for the Western Gaels, but the Rocks, my club, have rebuilt themselves piece by piece and this squad have grown up together and played together.

They have earned this opportunity through their own talents, they were not handed it.

Replying To Seanfan:  "Ballinameen, Aidans.
Èire Óg, Dominics
Pearses, Brigids.

As for All Star no chance Diarmuid will get it as Provincial winners don't get 1 any more."
Fully expect Westmeath to win one and Louth won one last year. The journalist that choose them must see Leinster as better even though Leinster doesn't contain three Division 1 teams like our province e.g harder won.

The days of players getting selected at a set positions is long over. Numbers on back means nothing anymore as players are all over the field nowadays.

Finally why do people from Connacht still spell our province Connaught?
