Replying To Doylerwex: "For a good person? Somebody who always does the right thing. I know loads of people who've done good things, but a good person is a bold statement by my definition. Let he who's without sin cast the first stone and all that" A good person is someone who 'always' does the right thing? If that's the case, there isn't a good person on earth. Stop good lad.
I know plenty good people. They aren't perfect (nobody is), but they live a good life and look after others.

Replying To otherlad: "Sam mulroy gets an all star,,, wow, small county syndrome at its best" Wee county they are known as.
Mulroy got one because mainly his county won it's first Leinster title in 68 years and in the final he scored 1-7 against your own Meath.
Only surprise about the selections is Conor O'Donnell not included. I'd probably put him in before Conaty though Conaty was good also.

Replying To gaelsboy: "There's not many lads that would take abuse for 60 minutes for 50 euro, if you try stamp your authority e.g. bring ball forward, card players/ mgmt for abuse you are just seen as the reason the team loses.
Proper fines and sanctions like automatic bans for repeat offenders and loss of home games for rest of season and clubs will soon learn to deal with repeat offenders themselves" Proper fines will force the clubs to deal with the problem. Bans are pointless. Hit the clubs in the pocket and it won't take long for the clubs to rein in the usual suspects. It's hard enough to raise money without having to give it away.

Congrats to the lads on their well deserved all stars and especially Finnbarr on getting young player of the year. For me himself and David Clifford were shoe ins. Of course the anti Murphy brigade out in force with some suggesting he shouldn't have got an All Star and definitely not in the running for player of the year. I went to every championship game and he was either motm or one of the top candidates. Delighted to hear he is staying on and I share the keepers gratitude in everything Jim has done since coming back. Load's of young talent coming through so I took hope he stays on longer.

Replying To S1234: "Absolutely well said . Yes agree on the selection process is just bizarre .
It shouldn't just be all about the teams who made the final . It should be spread out to the lower ranked teams is well ." Maybe then Mayo might get an All Star.....

Delighted for the four who got the allstars and a bit disappointed for the few others who i thought were in the conversation. Conor should have got one but sure this is always the way with the format as it is and there is inevitably someone left out who was more deserving than others. I have to say I am very pleased with McCole finally getting one after three years of being nominated. He has been so consistent and was one of the few stand out players even in that awful season 2023. He's hands down one of the best defenders in the country this long while.

Replying To S1234: "And why shouldn't a defender get an all star over a forward ? It's about how well you do in your position not about what position you play . Each position is just as important as the other." He All Stars have always been 1 GK, 6 Defenders, 2 Midfielders and 6 Forwards
Why would they change it this year to put a defender in at corner forward
Rightly or wrongly the people picking the team didn't think he was one 6 best defenders. To say he should been thrown in as one of 6 Forwards is silly

Hurling - Merging Counties - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "True gaels can like one over other but respect both football as improved from where it was come on.
Yes hurling maybe better still football has improved.
What does dual counties mean as true gaels is it only galway cork tipp because they play Liam Mccarthy as well or kerry antrim offaly included in that they play both
For hurling to grow in single code counties it needs get to get some of reluctant football crowd on board as well" Wexford is a dual county in the truest sense. What I mean by that is almost all of our players play both codes.
Football not too strong at the moment but we have senior all Irelands in both and have had periods where we were competing at a high level in both codes.
Personally I think a best of Ulster outside Antrim, best of Connaught outside Galway would be good, but also a logistical nightmare and they'd be at a huge disadvantage.
Would a collective like that be capable of winning tier 2 or 3 even? I don't think so to be honest.
There was a time Derry and down could mix it with Antrim but even still Antrim were a level below Munster and Leinster.
It's a hard game to master if you're not fully in it.

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Pat would be fairly knowledgeable and fair ij fairness but haven't seen clough much it could equally suit them too so it could balance itself out didn't they make leinster final before maybe I am wrong.
Who do people think win or their chances?
Downs in football probably have a kinder draw" Realistically the draw could not be worse.Away to Clough Ballacolla and then away to the winners of Ballyhale and KK. It's very hard to call the Laois champions of 5 of the last 6 years against the WH champions of 3 of the last 4 in Portlaoise. Be there shout for CTG and hope for the best.

Replying To S1234: "Lol how are they in a better position then mayo?
How do you mean arguable? Lol They lost to Meath who got a beating of 20 points by Donegal.....
Top 4 means you were in the semis. Mayo only lost to Donegal by a last minutefluke of a point before they hammered meath and who meath knockedout Galway.
Galway so overated . Oh how are Longford doing btw ?" We were shocking this year. Worst season since 2010. You don't know much about football if you think Donegal's winner was a fluke. Same old story, we couldn't close out a big game.
