This is why you're talking crap on the GAA board and Dessie is winning all Irelands ffs!

Right, no other craic captain obvious? Could say same reason you aren't refereeing the AIF any time soon either  :D

I do agree cluxton should get the all star even after my views on him coming back above

I don't want to nor have any desire to and never been an intercounty ref, plus being over 50 rules me out thank god!

Other than that, you are spot on!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Can't see Beggan getting in over Cluxton/Ryan/Lynch tbh.
As much as I'd like to see mcluskey in, 3 for an Semi-finalist probably won't happen.
I could see McManus getting one.
But I'd say you're not too far away in general there.

Very possibly, I think it'll be between him and O'Connell. If there's one from outside the semifinalists it'll be between Enda Smith and D Canavan both of whom had great seasons.

Andy Murnin was the best player outside of the 4 semi finalists. Smith had a great season as well and it would be hard to begrudge him an award though I don't think he'll get it.

Murnin had a poor Ulster final

You picked out his worst game of the season but that was a cagey arm wrestle of a match and even Clifford would have struggled with the lack of supply that game. Otherwise he was excellent all season, Canavan didn't play near the level of Murnin over the course of the season.

A 19 year old rookie easily dealt with Murnin.

Murnin had a great year (whether that is enough to get an All-Star given how the system works is debatable) Trying to deny that is simply madness. One arm wrestle of a match does not ruin a whole season for him.

It was the one on one duals he lost with McEvoy that stood out for me, in Murnin's biggest game of the year. Hard to get an all star after that. I agree he had a good season otherwise, but who of the following does he get in the all star ff line ahead of: Clifford, McGuigan, Costello, Mannion, Basquel, Con, McManus?

That's not my recollection of it anyway. McEvoy played well and produced one great block on Murnin but the supply line was non existent and Murnin spent most of the game drifting out towards midfield.

McManus shouldn't even get nominated never mind get an All Star, thats just a sentimental vote. He was on the bench for much of the season.

I don't remember him losing out on any one-on-one duels against ANYONE all year. The All-Star system would have got him in ahead of some of those players you list if Armagh had have made an AI semi.  Not many of those players you list had to come the field and be a ball-winning option the way Murnin was used this year. A colossus.
