Why because they don't agree with you they are bottomfeed very narrow minded as lots of people from other counties feel Keegan didn't deserve it as he got sent off in the replay final, escaped a sending off in drawn final and got Sean cavanagh sent off targetting him in quarter final, he didn't manage to help mayo win a single trophy this year it seems very hard to actually make a case for how he won it at this stage. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/11/2016 21:12:28 1931679 Link 1 |

Player v team concept can be a difficult one to grasp for some.

The team looks about right to me. Granted you could make a case for a number of fellas who had fine years but that is always the way. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 04/11/2016 21:13:35 1931681 Link 0 |

Don't agree sure you could say same about Gleeson winning the hurling callanan should have got that Gleeson young enough still to have his day hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/11/2016 21:16:15 1931682 Link 0 |

Yeah you generally have to do something good to win an award that can be hard to grasp. Getting dropped for the final and sent off in the final doesn't usually constitute that

Listen man, you are so biased it isn't even funny. It isn't their opinion , it is the abusive way the express it. You banging on about the Tyrone game. Keegan was class all year, get over it. I wouldn't have minded Fenton getting it. If he did I wouldn't be typing bull on pages as if it were some outrage. Keegan winning it is not a surprise, unless you are blind or biased.

Naming all Dublin's great team achievements in 2016 doesn't discount the great displays of players from other counties.

So you're annoyed Cluxton didn't get another award! Fair enough I don't think anyone would have complained too much had he won it. The argument about Clarke being dropped for the final is irrelevant as that was more a reflection on management than Clarke himself, as events subsequently proved. Keegans award was given to him by his fellow players who obviously felt his displays all year warranted the award. Again if Fenton got it there would have been few complaints but arguing that Keegan was an undeserving winner because he was harshly black carded in the final, is somewhat petty. Bernard Brogan won his award in 2010 without even playing in the final. Did you complain that it was undeserved? The rest of the post doesn't make any sense.

All the players chosen are top class footballers and deserve their awards. Yes, you have to have sympathy with a number of players, who were probably the equal of those chosen, but there were only 15 places to be filled. Hopefully some or all of them will make it in to the top 15 next year. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 04/11/2016 23:34:01 1931720 Link 1 |

How is it biased to point out what people from neutral counties are saying????

No but being dropped and sent off for the biggest game of the year kind of does don't you think? when you consider cluxton didn't get one for 10 minutes of a bad game and kev Mac didn't get one despite being favourite for the footballer of the year going into the final, it shows no consistency in why players are being selected. take the hurler of the year callanan was robbed there too, the guy hit what 1-11 in the Munster final were Gleeson was taken off and he got something like 0-13 in the all ireland final again, so where's the sense in the selections? It's not biased to point stuff out is it? hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/11/2016 23:50:25 1931722 Link 0 |

It's not the fact he didn't win the all ireland final its the fact he done nothing much all year with mayo to deserve it. he done nothing in the league, was again annonymous in connacht and targetted Sean cavanagh in the quarter finals and got him sent off, had decent game against tipp, lucky not to be shown line in drawn final and eventually got what was coming in the replay when got the line. if the reason cluxton didn't win one was because he had 10 minutes of a bad spell in a game where he found 19 out of 22 kickouts, you can hardly justify why Keegan got player of year, don't remember any standout performances from him. Seems like the hurling one were callanan didn't get it that players voted for personal reasons not what happened on pitch hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/11/2016 23:59:43 1931728 Link 0 |

It's a complete joke. how dublin didn't win all 15 all stars is baffling. The dublin defence was that good that cluxton was so bored in the semi final and decided to give kerry 2 goals and 3 points himself just so he would have something to do....still deserves an all star though....also how did Lee keegan get poty? He only out scored his direct opponent from play in the quarter final semi and final (over the 2 legs)...and 2 of them opponents got all stars and the other one is probably the best footballer to grace the field in the last 15 years...but other than that he did nothing to deserve poty....probably should have been cluxton.

Completely agree with all your points. Lee Keegan is by far the best defender in the country, consistently giving his utmost. Anyone who can't see that must have some kind of problem or other and should get it looked into for their own good. To say that Lee was responsible for Sean Cavanagh being sent off must surely be a joke. Is not every person/player responsible for their own actions? The only one I can see who could be held responsible is Sean Cavanagh himself!! GormlaighG (Mayo) - Posts: 77 - 05/11/2016 03:40:31 1931736 Link 1 |

You could be right in regards to Callanan,hill.I'd say some players wouldn't give it to a Tipp man for personnel reasons.1-4 in a Munster final where Gleeson was woeful and taken off and one of the greatest forward displays ever in an All Ire final and they give it to a lad that had 6 wides v Tipp,7 v Wexford and didnt even reach the All Ire final!Daylight robbery!

For me yes mate, he played against one division one team this year mate and got hooked. Geaney had a very good year but i would personally would have given it to CIllian O' Connor or Kevin Mc. That said i would have given an All Star to Enright over Philly McMahon, there are few in there based on media profile and relevance rather then performances this year. But its just opinion of course. Comerford would have been my goalkeeper of choice. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 05/11/2016 09:24:44 1931765 Link 0 |

People? Most people? You think that the majority of people are outraged? Get a grip. It's only an award and it was a toss up between Keegan and Fenton. The players voted for Keegan. But what would the players know?

I appreciate where you coming from but I actually think that Geaney possibly put in the best out and out inside forward display I seen all year against Dublin. He was taken off. A decision that his manager later admitted was a mistake. Kevin Mac was hard done by but Geaney for me is among the best inside forward in the country and there aren't many. You are a fair contributor on here and it's refreshing to see. The fact you questioned Philly Macs inclusion is good to see. Great player but I wouldn't have him in the All Stars this year. Could say the same for Colm Boyle. Look you could question every player s inclusion but one genuine strange exclusion for me is Paddy Durcan Weary (None) - Posts: 249 - 05/11/2016 10:14:47 1931778 Link 0 |
