Colman cavanagh. Excellent choice at midfield. Was absolutely outstanding against Derry Donegal down and Armagh and the one tyrone man that tried to carry the game to the dubs in the semi. Outrageous catching of the ball all season. The only disgrace is that he has not claiming two in a row as he was disgracefully left out last year. Parsons nowhere near him this year and went missing in second half against dubs mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 04/11/2017 02:27:54 2060342 Link

Replying To Brianmac78: "Hitting the red button isnt a discussion girls" It must be the snowflakes Brian :) These thread are the same every year everyone gets worked up over the all stars. Cluxton doesn't strike me as the insecure needy type. He has 4 all Irelands and Clarke has two all stars. Those two all stars aren't worth one all ireland medal to Clarke. As for POTY. I'm delighted Moran won it I think he was the best player this year. He was exceptional in the quarter finals, semi finals and final. McCarthy was brilliant too and there was very little in it in my opinion. But again give me an all-ireland medal over POTY any day. I think Cluxton should have won all star for goalkeeper this year. If you offered Clarke and Moran all Ireland medals for their all stars and the POTY award, those awards would be in the Liffey before you get halfway through this sentence.

A meeting and ranking should be held after the league , points awarded , same at end of sept , those who performed consistently throughout the year will come to the fore, Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 04/11/2017 07:26:48 2060352 Link
Andy Moran fully deserved POTY award. Clarke also deserved his all star. Cluxton was a spectator during the Leinster championship and I recall a few dodgy kickouts in one of the Mayo games. Hardly justifies a All Star. Mike_Clitoris69 (Cavan) - Posts: 230 - 04/11/2017 08:25:19 2060363 Link

I have to say also, some of the comments on social media around Mayo players getting all stars are a disgrace. These are ameteur players receiving recognition for their achievements this years." Aidan O'Shea, completely undeserved. When push came to shove this season it was Clarke,Barrett,Boyler,Keegan,Parsons,Cillian and Doherty who pulled Mayo through when AOS was a virtual spectator. 2 of that 7 received awards. The other 5 can feel really hard done by. But because its a 'numbers game' coupled with the fact that AOS is a 'media darling' either of Parsons/Doherty were sacrificed to accommodate him. The All-Star night has become a circus/fashion parade now. hamstring (Limerick) - Posts: 318 - 04/11/2017 10:45:46 2060384 Link

Wouldn't have surprised me if they had given AOS an all star for full back this year..some crazy choices this year dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1057 - 04/11/2017 11:26:46 2060395 Link
I haven't seen the All Star results yet, but wished to protest anyway. In fact, I'm outraged, not to mention bitterly disappointed. All those selection panel clowns, every year they have the cheek to disagree with me. In my next post, I'll chuck in some petty insults about some of the lads who got an award.

Congrats to all the Allstars this year. Its always the same every year, someone loses out. I think both Dublin and Mayo deserved to win the amount they did, particularly Mayo as they were not only very narrowly beaten in the final, but they also had a long road to get there that included a replay against Kerry. Andi Moran had 3 excellent games in the semis and final as well as some good performances before this. That in itself should vindicate him as player of the year. Can anyone else confirm whether he won man of the match in any games earlier in the championship? Dublin could have won 8 and would have in a year where they won the final easily. That usually is the trend. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 04/11/2017 11:46:58 2060402 Link

Replying To cavanman47: "Disgraceful post. It's your opinion, and that of many others, that Cĺuxton should have got one. It's my opinion, and evidently that of those who matter in the selection process, that David Clarke had a better year. Absolutely no need for a post like that. It's saying a lot about the Dublin posters on here that not one has so much as tried to congratulate their own players who did win awards. Remember too, Clarke won his on merit in a straight shootout against cluxton and Morgan. Dean rock was moved to half forward to accommodate Mannion, and Cian O'Sullivan to centre back to accommodate Mick Fitz." You can't use the phrase 'disgraceful post' and then do a general sweep of 'Dublin posters on here'. Does every single person from Cavan think exactly the same as you or do they vary from person to person? poguemahone (Dublin) - Posts: 365 - 04/11/2017 14:38:04 2060428 Link
James McCarthy can't do much more for me to get a POTY. At least he got an all star as he was often left out there too. The problem he had was that Dublin won all their matches. No dramatic comebacks or replays. Minimum amount of games so therefore less exposure, a little bit of irony in how you get recognition. poguemahone (Dublin) - Posts: 365 - 04/11/2017 14:53:07 2060432 Link

Agree with this post....all of mayo all stars were well deserved I do feel Cluxton should have got the award but Tom Parsons was extremely hard done by should have got his instead of cavanagh. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 04/11/2017 16:24:15 2060447 Link

But at time of writing, not 1 Dublin poster had congratulated their players for winning their awards. (Apart from Mes who I corrected my post for) There are a LOT of Dublin posters showing that success brings out the worst in some people. You win some (or many in recent times) and you lose some. Take your defeats with the same level of humility that you take your victories. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 04/11/2017 19:15:15 2060466 Link

While not congratulating my own players I might not have done , the real talk debate is about the periphery players , and what I said was when pushing someone forward it eventually leads to slating someone else , which is sad I would have had parsons personally but don't think I need to slate Cavanagh to make my point Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 04/11/2017 19:48:18 2060478 Link
