The Indo's Best Players of the 21st Century Never to Win an All-Ireland

[JimStynes]

I still can't understand how McDonald doesn't get on that team! He is one of the best players of the last 30 years ffs

[blewuporstuffed]

Enda Muldoon (Derry), Paddy Bradley (Derry), Ciaran McDonald (Mayo) should all be on that team. Bradley was/is better than both Brown and Forde and did it consistently year in year out.  McDonald would have a strong argument for best 15 of this millenium and Muldoon was class personified.  Michael Meehan should be in there too, had a great 5 or 6 seasons.  Why no mention of Keith Higgins, another definite starter.

Being a big derry man and fan of paddy bradley i would still have to disagree on paddy being better than declan browne,Declan was a amazing player and if born in kerry would go down as a all time great imo.

Surely it would be Bradley instead of mattie ford, rather than for declan browne?

[Dont Matter]

What a joke team. Glen Ryan??  No mention of Tom Kelly. How is Pauric Clancy not in midfield? The teams missing a certain Ross Munnelly, not to mention Beano McDonald. Who buys the independent anyway?

I've never seen Declan Brown play apart from the odd highlights reel. Couldnt compare him with Bradley, Forde, Coulter etc as I havent seen much of him. Some talent by all accounts

Always hard to pick the forwards. Ford mentioned above, incredible talent. Hitting points from any angle with defenders hanging off him. Paddy Bradley, incredible forward who never went missing (when on the field!). Trained harder than anyone in the Derry panel and was consistantly brilliant through many many baron years. Was unreal again in this years Derry Championship...by far the best forward on show.

Re Mayo, maybe the author thinks there is an AI in them yet and was hesitant to add them

Without Frank McGuigan ,  that's just a big bucketashiiiiii.........,That is all.

[Canalman]

Won't lose a minute's sleep over it but think Clancy of Laois and Paddy Christie should be mentioned. Saw more of them than most other players so probably blinkered.

Right also not to mention players still playing imo.

How much has anybody here who goes on about Declan Browne seen him play? Not very much would be the answer, I'd guess. Clearly he was a very talented player but Forde, Meehan and Bradley all made much more of a mark on championship football.

Is he planning a comeback?

Paddy Bradley is/was better than all 6 forwards in that team.

Silly season for the GAA but this is pathetic.

+1.
Why not use up the space in the paper with  silly qoutes or tweets of the year.

A 'Clouds that look like Gaa players' article would be more entertaining.

Like this former Roscommon keeper:

He made a serious mark given the circumstances under which he played.

Beano McDonald was as good as there was.
Shame about his injury.
