It's a pity they didn't give Lee Chin an award for showing those soccer pansies exactly where they belong in the scheme of things . They got hammered without him too. Lol flack (Dublin) - Posts: 1054 - 05/11/2016 10:59:07 1931787 Link 0 |
I dont think he had any chance of winning an All Star last night so why didn't he choose trying to keep Wexford Youths in the Premier Division rather than sit on his arse watching other players pick up awards.Strange choice and now that they got beaten and are relegated he'll come in for some criticism and he'll just have to take it on the chin.

Look at my earlier posts. I thought Cluxton was unlucky and McManamon definitely deserved one. Clarke wasn't dropped because he was poor but the Cluxton furore over the two Kerry goals was beyond bullshit. I sat beside a Tallaght man at the first final and asked them how they'd do. 'Alright if Cluxton doesn't do anything stupid'. How could anyone think that about Cluxton ? You're banging on about Dublin's unbeaten record and a mighty record it is. But from 1-15 there have been mighty displays from opposituon county players. So there ! GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7364 - 05/11/2016 11:54:15 1931806 Link 0 |
Even better cuede! Any self-respecting bloke would take a free slap up meal rather than huff and puff along with a bunch of league of Direland jokers . He makes it clear where the priorities lie, great stuff flack (Dublin) - Posts: 1054 - 05/11/2016 16:53:36 1931887 Link 0 |
Keegans primary job is to defend. How many players being marked by Keegan had standout games. Not alone did he keep everyone he marked quiet he also kicked in with the odd score himself. You get Dubs on saying Diarmuid Connolly is one of the best players of all time and on the other hand give no credit to a lad who makes him look ordinary. I thought the Tipp lad deserved the hurling award but I can't pretend I know more than the players who actually voted. I can think of no better accolade than to be voted the best by your peers.

That's the crux of it law gryffs, even though I think Callinan should've been a shoe-in, it's hard to argue when it's their peers that voted it. Maybe in their own minds they think they'd hold Callinan scoreless no bother flack (Dublin) - Posts: 1054 - 06/11/2016 20:55:32 1932163 Link 0 |
But what if players have a dislike of a certain county?Are you telling me that this doesn't come into play?I think it may have cost Tipp their POTY.Would Cork,KK,Waterford,Clare,Limerick,Galway lads etc rather vote for a Tipp lad or in this case a Waterford lad?Tipp is boardered by all these hurling counties and there is no love lost between any of them.Personnally i wouldn't trust the players and i'd rather it went back to journalists to do it.

I've no problem with Keegan winning. But let's not distort facts, Galway took Mayo to the cleaners for goals, a point victory over Tyrone with Cavanagh of the pitch, keeping quiet 14 men is easier then 15 especially when the one missing is Cavanagh. Did he really keep Connolly quiet? I thought Connolly had his best two games against him to be honest, some beutifull scores and of course the goal, Keegan was sent off for keeping him quiet and well Connolly won the all Ireland this year - is that really being kept quiet. somehow Connolly always seems to be on the winning team Vs Mayo - luck I guess. I'm all for Lee winning this, great footballer and happy for the Mayo fans who we have had some great days out with the last five years, TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 07/11/2016 00:09:48 1932223 Link 0 |
