Wouldn't be so sure. Maybe 1 more year.

Wasn't having a dig at Mayo really, though I do think that decision was a bit on the wacky side from a footballing observation perspective. It was funny, the decision and reaction from Dublin and Mayo lads and I was more having a laugh and ripping that at that to be honest. If your offended I apologize. I don't really have much time for the All Stars to be honest or care enough to take seriously, I watch it for the laugh more then anything, it's like up for the match, has zero relevance to the actual game, awards are given and not won on the field of play. I'd be disappointed if the Dublin lads did anything more then stir their sugar on their cornflakes with them. I'd have a bit of time for the POTY gong mind.

Howard was the best half forward in the country and my some distance.

Murphy was brilliant all year. He was our only player against mayo, played "poor" by some peoples standards and scored 1-5. eddieSize5Balls (Donegal) - Posts: 4 - 01/11/2019 22:29:54 2247138 Link 3 |
Keoghan who lost 3 games in a row?

what are you smoking? Meath had a poor year. Embarrassed by everyone in the super 8s.

Suppose someone from Meath was though in his position?

Clifford was lucky. He was good but it's very competitive up front Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1828 - 01/11/2019 23:04:02 2247148 Link 3 |
Nonsense. Murphy did more by far this year than Brian Howard. And in three less games. There are few as complete players playing today.

Donegal won one more game than Meath in Super 8's so I'd get down off your high horse before you embarrass yourself

Why not? Performed superbly against you guys in Ulster, in the Ulster final and each of the three Super 8s games. What's your problem so? He is easily worth his place on that team and had as good a year as any save for some of the Kerry and Dublin guys, and only some of them at that. Yes, pity he's getting involved in that crap shop GPA.

If youre going down the scoring route to make comparisons then: O'Brien and Murphy scored the same in the Donegal/Kerry game and O'Brien scored more against Mayo than Murphy did. He scored 1-2 against Tyrone and Murphy scored 0-2. He didnt get an All Star because he wasnt at his best in the two finals. If they lost the semi he'd have been nailed on which is a bit ridiculous. If McShane for example got to the final(s) and played poorly in both he wouldnt have got one either. It's a silly system. The simplest and fairest way for the all stars to be decided is that every players gets rating out of 10 for every game and the average decides who gets them - with possibly a system where the bigger the game the more weight is attached to a rating. It would take away most of this BS tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 01/11/2019 23:29:38 2247155 Link 1 |
Actually Meath lost those games not Keoghan

No, the only one of the 3 nominees we had that I thought would get one was Keoghan, a fight between him and Colm Boyle, I certainly did not expect a Dublin forward to beat him to the position and its unfair on all nominees for those positions that it happened, and not for the first time either.

In picking my team, I did exactly what the All-Star selectors did, I put Howard back in my half-back line. It was a no-brainer really. In the AIFs, he covered back and did some mighty defending, especially in the 2nd half on the drawn game when he was immense around center-back when the Dubs were down to 14 men. shoulderghost (Limerick) - Posts: 863 - 02/11/2019 02:40:59 2247170 Link 0 |
If Murphy didn't deserve it this year he possibly never did as this year was possibly one of his finest ever. I kind of scratch my head and bite my lip when i hear people say Murphy wasn't allstar material.... letterkennyGuy (Donegal) - Posts: 153 - 02/11/2019 02:44:36 2247171 Link 5 |
A POTY has been named since 1958, with Jim McKeever of Derry being the inaugural recipient. It was called the Texaco POTY award and continued until 2012. On two occasions a goalkeeper won it: Billy Morgan of Cork in 1973, and Martin Furlong of Offaly in 1982 (remember that one Kerry lads?). I realize that it was a distinct award from the All-Stars POTY which came in in 1995. Just a bit of historical perspective on goalies who have won POTY. shoulderghost (Limerick) - Posts: 863 - 02/11/2019 02:53:27 2247172 Link 0 |
2 All Stars for Tyrone, fair play lads is that what yous were keeping the powder dry for after being beaten in Ulster? Just trying to keep up with what the standard for success is with you boys ;) JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 02/11/2019 04:36:27 2247173 Link 0 |
