Ulster All stars

[Star Spangler]

I think Devine would be in with a chance for GK, he was superb for tyrone all year saving them on more than one occasion and in general his kickouts were good.

He shouldn't have come off his line when Geraghty scored the goal.  He was caught in two minds and that's fatal for a keeper.  You can be sure if Tyrone had scraped through that game big Packy would have been back in.

Whatever about provincial only all stars, Ulster is likely to only get a token one or two due to lack of any Ulster teams in the semi finals. The two finalists plus at least two/three extra dubs (whether they go out in the first round or not) will get at least 12.

Munster has had All Star selection in both Football and Hurling for the past 3 or 4 years.  I have not yet seen this year's teams.

Tommy Freeman got the Vodafone AllStar (i.e. the official ones) for July, so i reckon he's in with a decent chance of getting one - although ironically, i don't think he hit his heights this year.

Assuming its based on Ulster Championship games alone, its doubtful if any Donegal men would be in the reckoning. If its based on all games, then Karl Lacey and Rory Kavanagh would be in with a good shout, but no one else.

                 Devine

McGoldrick    McCloy     Mone
McQuaid     Gormley     Freeman

            Doherty Lennon

Muldoon      Woods     Cavanagh                         
Bradley         Corey       Freeman

This is the team closest to my selection.

I'd have Cavanagh in midfield ahead of Lennon though & Gilligan ahead of Muldoon.
I'd also put Dooher in there to take Cavanagh's vacated wing spot.

Player of the year Kevin McCloy.

Devine is the only keeper I can remember making any saves! - He'd no chance with Geraghty's goal...wasn't his fault the defender lost him!

[Uladh]

So it includes the qualifiers then?

[Deal_Me_In]

What is the chances of an Antrim player receiving one as a token jesture for getting to the TM Cup Final? Would there be any candidates? C J McGourty? Just wondering i personally don't think there is.

Any room on those teams for Dermot McCabe. Had a great year for Cavan, just let down by those around him. I'll admit the competition is tough.

It's hard to have a great year with 2 games. It's also going to be hard for most people to remember any execptional performances from teams who have been out for such a long ime - it's the way it always goes.

I have yet to decide my own team, but the following are likely to be there or there about:

No apologies for my Monaghan bias!
T Freeman, V Corey, G McQuaid, O Lennon, P Mone, JP Mone, D Freeman
Tyrone
Cavanagh, Mulgrew
Derry
McCloy,
Donegal
Kavanagh (maybe - was the only one capable of any damagh in the Omagh game)

It's hard to think of any exceptional performances from Armagh, Fermanagh, Antrim, Down or Cavan..... It's even difficult for Donegal given their lack of consistency. Can you give an all star on the basis of one great game if you've also had really crap performances? Surely an all-star has to be fairly consistent?

Not sure of the rest - can't decide on a keeper, no one stood out. Would have been Donegal's man, but Vinny Corey's goal in Omagh was the keepers fault for hesitating.

[tyrone realist]

Is ulster the only province with it's own All Stars?

It would seem so, it's the fault of the partitionist Irish News.

And could some of our Farney men tell me if there'd be a big Irish News circulation in Monaghan?

It sells well for GAA coverage, during the summer it sells almost twice as much as during the winter.

On the day after the county final it traditionally has its biggest sales of the year
