The top scorer in the all Ireland series was he not?

I mentioned this before, but as the year goes on, players are exposed to better teams they are going to be more susceptible to making mistakes and pitted against better opposition that would question their all star credentials. 

I feel Morgan falls into this category.  As good as he was in the games he may have played, the only tough games they got were Donegal and Roscommon in the AI series, both of which they lost.
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Tyrone beat Cavan (aet), Clare and Cork and have an all star, lost to any good team they played, laughable decision to give any Tyrone player an all star.

Proves the point I just made around Morgan.  Turbitt didn't have the best game and was well shackled against top opposition and was hooked off in the final. 
Had he not performed in the semi or quarter finals he most likely wouldn't have gotten one.  But he did perform, and his inclusion was fair in my opinion.

Brolly got one in 96.....

ONeill

Was talking to a journalist there and he said he voted for Morgan just to wind the Armagh ones up.

I thought Turbitt was superb this season, was one of the primary reasons Armagh got to the final, and was in the running for POTY at that point. That has to count.

Brilliant all year but had a poor final. Totally deserving.

Did Derry not win the league in '96 ?

Put it this way, had Kerry pipped Armagh in the semi-final, would the inclusion of Turbitt in the selection have been controversial?

And? I don't see Mario mentioning any league games.

Well believe it lol. Maybe we should do the Madrid and boycott the whole thing in protest.

Exactly. He was in poty form pre final.

imtommygunn

Not controversial at all... Sure Finnerty basically didn't play the final and McHugh was great all year until final. Morgan maybe controversial ok but Turbitt not controversial at all. Sure a lot of people had him in running for POTY for a long time.

6 all stars and Sam. Think we would have settled for that 6 months ago
