Young Player of the Year 2014

[Syferus]

Murtagh was robbed of the U21 PotY by politics. Walsh could easily meet the same fate.

But he wasn't as good as Conor Mc Hugh to be fair.

McHugh only managed 0-10 points before the AI final, Murtagh scored 2-13 in the SF and final alone and scored heavily in all our championship matches before that. Even in the AI final Murtagh matched McHugh in scoring, an achievement on a team that was getting hammering by the other.

It helps when McHugh's county man Pillar Caffrey is one of the three judges..

These competitions are a crock and rarely pick the right players. I don't know why I bother caring.

How many of those scores were from play?

All 1-6 of McHugh's were..

Strange that a player voted man of the match in the final and semi-final on the winning team doesn't deserve it!

2-01 of his 2-03 was from play. Hardly a major difference there, nevermind the difference in the supply both players were getting.

Did you come in late to the semi-final? Murtagh was the best player on show in Portlaoise that day. McHugh is a serious talent but let's not forget he's also the one who should have been black carded before he got the equalising point against Cavan. Costello was just as if not more important to Dublin in that match too. Having his own county man on a three man judging panel was totally unfair on the other nominees.

No doubt Paul Caffrey,Ciaran Whelan or some other half-wit Dub will be on the selection panel for this.
Maybe John Costello!

Young Player of the Year is not an u21 award? is it not u23?

I would have thought Odhrán Mac Niallais was nailed on for this

Young player of the year isn't u23 hence why Mac Niallais isn't on the list.

I'd say there is 31 Counties in Ireland who wouldn't mind having a half wit like John Costello as County Secretary.

Can vouch for one anyway. A half wit is a hell of an improvement on a full wit.

I didn't actually say John Costello was a half wit.Read it again Heffow.

MacNiallais is a more worthy candidate than McBrearty.

Far more. To be honest if he's elligible he;s the front runner

Cillian O'Connor is 22, same as Ódhran. But they will hardly give him another one. Maybe he will get his first All-Star this year?

What are the odds on him getting nothing?

I probably would have agreed with the selection of O'Donoghue, Brogan and McManus last year, but it was a very tight call with COC. He's in pole position, along with O'Donoghue, for one of the full forward line slots this year. Although plenty could change over the last 3 games

None based on the amount of complaining in the last week. They will be obliged to give you a few either way

[Captain Obvious]

Ryan McHugh must be odds on now?

[Jinxy]

It's mad to see a young fella that small and slight have such an influence on a game in this day and age.

It's a good side to be the little man on, though. Came on in leaps and bounds since he got his chance. Will make for some combo punch with his brother next year.
