Well, he did win an All-Ireland with the U21s and seems to be integral to the Mayo set up now. He might not have been at the level of last year but he is easily the best young player in the country right now and one of the best players in the country full stop. No other young player in the country who is as important to a senior team as O'Connor is to Mayo.

Right Jack, Settle down now. That's the end of the tele so. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 04/11/2016 19:16:26 1931624 Link 0 |
IMO Conor McManus is the best footballer in the country, even better than Connolly. Take Connolly out of the Dublin team and theyd still be formidable, take McManus out of the Monaghan team and they're 7th or 8th in Ulster. But based on this year, no way should he get an all star. The rest of your team is pretty spot on apart from possibly Parsons. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 04/11/2016 19:28:08 1931627 Link 0 |
In my humble opinion Keegan is the best player in the country.

Congrats to Lee Keegan on his POY award.Great bit of stuff.Seems a sound lad and he was humble in mentioning Dublin's greatness in winning 4 All Ire's in 6 years.

And it's pretty much official now. . Unbelievable achievement for Austin Gleeson. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 04/11/2016 19:58:26 1931640 Link 1 |
Keegan and Gleeson were the right choices. The two best players in their respective codes this year. ZeitChrist (UK) - Posts: 154 - 04/11/2016 20:05:32 1931644 Link 0 |
Well deserved for Keegan. I wouldn't have minded Fenton either. Classy stuff from the Dubs on social media who seem to think this is a crazy fix. Hill 16 page is a disgrace as usual. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 04/11/2016 20:07:46 1931646 Link 1 |

Strange post. Seems more of a rant against Mayo than against the All Star selections. If you are going to base the awards on All Ireland medals won, why not just give the awards to the fifteen players on the winning team. Mayo wouldn't have any in that case so you could sleep easy. Now that we have a player of the year in our ranks we'll be mad to go again next year. Only problem is we'll have to lose to Sligo in order to avoid the mighty Galway. Problems, problems.

Is McManus not a better player than Kilkenny and Connolly and Michael Murphy ?

Every silver lining has a cloud eh ! Why bother looking where you know there is always going to be negativity ? Take the positives and leave that stuff to those who post it. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 04/11/2016 20:50:39 1931666 Link 1 |
Not surprised Keegan and Gleeson won POTY awards. Seem like decent lads too. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 04/11/2016 20:54:26 1931671 Link 0 |
It's been shared all over Twitter. I'm not searching for bottomfeed who are abusing people online.

No doubt about Keegans football ability, super player but if you give him player of the year you are excusing his off the ball behaviour. If your coaching kids you are saying to them here is the best footballer in Ireland just close your eyes when you see him catching fellas in a headlock or catching him by the throat & I'm not talking about just the Dublin games. Yes he spoke well & very humbly & shook hands with his nemesis after the All Ireland which shows he has class off the field as well. I would just like to see him put all his focus into his football. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 04/11/2016 21:00:08 1931674 Link 2 |
We go to Dublin plenty of times and win and win against teams from Ulster and Leinster and Munster. Dublin have the best team out there and they played the best overall but not a hole lot better than Mayo. We maybe should have beaten them in the drawn final but then say Dublin don't get the two goals and are chasing the game then it changes teams play differently. Mayos all stars are all in defence which is where we were strongest and probably better than anyone else bar and few hairy moments

not his biggest fan because of some off his off the ball antics but no denying keegan is a super player and in my opinion he deserved to win poty because despite his faults I think he is the most talented player in the country. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 04/11/2016 21:06:37 1931677 Link 0 |
