Howard named at 6 the only surprise so far. 6 forwards to be named after the ad break.

Not a surprise but while he didn't really play 6 he was nominated in that line so.........
Boyle really should have got 6.

Would have had Keoghan at 5 Boyle 6.

Durcan got his all star based on Donegal and Dublin games where he played wing forward. Wouldn't begrudge Brian Howard an All Star, while he didn't score much this year he played his football his best an extra defender/midfielder when Dublin weren't in possession of the ball.

Durcan to be fair earned his All star by holding 5 of the 6 players he marked scoreless and three of them were Jack McCaffrey,Ryan McHugh and Shane Walsh while scoring 0-8 himself.

He played wing forward  in the big games in which he scored 5 points

He ended up at wing forward at times as his role was to curb the influence of key players and few of the players he marked out of the game happen to play wing back. Weighing in with scores while man marking made his performances all the more impressive.

A forward keeping a defender scoreless shouldn't warrant a All  Star.

A defender curbing the influence of two of the oppositions key players should.

Ryan McHugh had destroyed Kerry the game before at Croke Park, McCaffrey scored 1-03 in the match after against Kerry and was MOTM. The job Durcan did on both of these guys was phenomenal.

Michael Fitzsimons seems to be a bit of a p***k

What that about?

He's probably taken offence at MF having a pop at Joanne Cantwell's statement a while back about the Dublin players being institutionalised

He didn't come across too well when interviewed on the stage by Joannne Cantwell.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Anybody know when the All Stars are happening this year?  Probably just announced with no big night out though!

Sometime in February an Irish independent article said a few weeks ago.

Nothing for the 2020 O'Byrne Cup winners????

Its a bit strange, Thomas Galligan was nominated as a forward and McCarthy in midfield. Galligan most media had as a midfielder anyway in their selections.  Then they got switched around at the last minute and thats where Durcan lost out. Suppose defenisvely Mayo were poor enough this year, maybe thats what it was.

Armagh18

Hard to argue with any there but I thought McLaughlin and Durcan were certs. Quinlivan unlucky too.

Looking for crumbs of comfort I guess but the fact that Cillian got an award is some consolation -- for me anyway.
I'm glad to see he has re-discovered some of his old form at last. He went through a few bad years where he spent more time niggling and tripping and generally acting the maggot. He got the gate a few times and he could have been sent off a few more.
But, IMO anyway, he redeemed himself this year. He may not be in contention for an All-Star again or at least there won't be many more years to be in the running, so it's good to see him doing himself justice this year.
