Replying To monaghanmad: "Murtagh didnt look like much of an all star in clones this year, when push came to shove in the 2nd half he couldny be found. That is where all stars appear." You could say the same about Stephen O'Hanlon in Croke Park against a 14 man Louth for 62 minutes.
Likewise how many of the Mayo All Star winning defenders looked like All Stars in Clones v Monaghan when 2-20 was conceded and you were without O'Hanlon due to injury. Years work than one match is where individual player awards should be decided.

There will always be some gripes and people will often complain about who should be in, without saying who should be left out in their place.
However, nothing against Jarly Óg, but I was surprised he got an award. I can't say he stood out massively and Armagh were dumped out of the championship quite early. I thought McMorrow had a better and more impactful year.
Paudie is also unlucky, but with O'Donoghue moved out to centre forward as both of Mayo's young guns deservedly got awards inside, it left limited room.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Maybe but Dublin never getting 2 All Stars in a year they played poorly on at least 2 occasions. If McMorrow got wing back then Oisin Conaty probably get wing forward ahead of NS." Kerry played poorly on at least two occasions, as did Mayo. It was a very even year overall, with no team consistently good. Dublin were extremely unlucky not be in the final. They outplayed Kerry in their semi-final.

Replying To peiledoir20: "To be fair I don't think it was the pressure that beat them in the seniors. They just came up against more battled hardened and experienced teams.
They have a great record at minor and U21 level of late and I'd expect that to continue.
And their time will come at senior level eventually and when it does they'll be hard to stop." Haha yeah I agree, My last post was more tongue-in-cheek to see if I could get a bit of craic going. The forum is really dead these days.
Four Masters away to Gaoth Dobhair tomorrow. That will be a good test. Gaoth Dobhair under a wee bit of pressure after narrowly losing to Termon.

There will always be teams with more experienced players who have gone further in championship. How long does that crop of players go without getting success. They won't beat Naomh Conaill, Eunans, Gaoth dobhair or Glenswilly in the next 3 years and I'll safely say that. They lack physicality and it was badly exposed against St Michael's, they were schooled by Langan mcelhinney and McLaughlin. You can be great footballers at minor and u21 where there's lots of space and allowed to play football, senior is a whole other story

All stars always throw up a debate, but the all ireland winners and finalists normally get the lions share and rightly so.
But at intercounty level each team can only win 1 of 2 national titles(all Ireland & National League) and 1 provincial title.
Obviously Zero credit is given to the National league even though it is 1 of only 2 national titles you can win, but there is no way the 4 counties below should have an all star in 2026, ahead of Armagh/Roscommon/Kerry/Westmeath players who all won a provincial title.
(Louth)
While they backed up 2025's performance in 2026 by getting to the provincial final, they lost and Won Nothing
(Tyrone)
Did nothing in Ulster or All ireland of note and Won nothing
(Dublin)
Had some good games at the business end of the championship but got relegated and knocked out early in leinster, Won nothing and got relegated
(Monaghan)
Had a couple of exciting games, but Won nothing and got relegated
While these players are all great players
for example between league and championship
Michael Langan scored 40 points from midfield this season Conn Kilpatrick 9 points
Oisin Conaty scored 41 points this season 20 points more than Niall Scully
Durmuid Murtagh scored 76 points this season 47 points more than Steven O'Hanlon

Replying To keeper7: "Have Four Roads any chance against Tooreen in The Hyde on Saturday?" Four Roads fell over the line twice against Oran and lost to Dominic's and then beat in the final in no small part to Dominic's finishing the game with 14 players.
Maybe Oran and Dominic's have improved or get closer to Four Roads or the latter has regressed either way it will take a brave punter to not tip Tooreen to win comfortably and the odds speak for themselves in that regard with Tooreen 1/10 to win.

Replying To Marooned: "Home to Kerry first round of the league." Any further details of (potential) football and hurling fixtures? Looks like hurlers have a bye in the first round; will play Limerick at home Feb. 27th. I think.
Thompson untested? Anyone that saw his performance v Down in the Newry thriller 18 months ago wouldn't agree.
