BH did hurt his knee in the warm up. McIlroy tripped on a bag and fell into him. He couldnt kick across his body. ONe of the lads was saying this on Woolly Parkinson's podcast

I believe it was actually quite a bad injury.

Enda Smith didn't play in any 'big games' last year and got an all star. Hughes will get the All Star but imo Morgan has been the best goalkeeper in the country this season.

10 of Roscommon's games last year was against Division 1 opposition and he got man of the match and named on the team of week a few times.

It wasn't a dig at Enda Smith. It was just in reply to a comment saying that Niall Morgan didn't play in any big games this year with Tyrone only getting to the last 12 when that is how far Roscommon got last year.

thats why they pulled the parade short
if you look he wasnt bandaged in the parade , this was done in the huddle
at one stage ethan was told to warm up
surprised Galway never coped on to the bandaging

I thought he was one of the main reasons you beat Kerry but the kickouts weren't anywhere near as good at the weekend and that would maybe explain why.

I'm just outlining what individual player needs to do on a team that doesn't reach the latter stages to catch the eye of journalists whom select All Stars. Question on Morgan how many man of the match awards and how often did he get selected on the team of the week this year?

Had a quick flick through the GAA team of the week from last year on Twitter and I didn't see Smith named in any unless I am missing a few. Morgan named on 2 teams of the week though I wouldn't really place much stock on them to be honest.

But anyway Hughes will get the all star which I have no issue with as I know all stars generally come from the semi finalists and finalists.

They do but in this instance I think he's been the best goal keeper as well. Morgan offers something different but Hughes calmness, decision making and delivery this season have been pivotal to Armagh. His ability to hit men open particularly against Kerry was critical to Armagh.

Yeah that's fair enough. I appreciate I am biased on this one as well.

Aren't we all even if I claim Niall as an honorary Annaghmore man

Was on it two or three times and named player of the week at least once from what I recall last year. I would take stock in that as after all it's Journalists that picks them.  I think it was Maurice Brosnan a Journalist on the examiner that explained what it would takes for any player from a team that doesn't reach the latter stage needs to do to win All Star. 

Morgan should certainly get nominated then but Blaine Hughes has been fairly flawless for Armagh and his accurate kicks out has been a big role in winning the All Ireland for his county so can imagine that will make him the front runner for the  goalkeeper All-star.

I know Young Player doesn't always get an all star (Clarke didnt in 02 when he was young player of the year but strangely Cooper did get the all star i think) but I think and I am open to correction that the player of the year has always been an all star
