Marty Johnston player of the championship for me.

I'm with you here BS, how he didn't get in that team amazes me

Suppose they had to have a token city player in the team. How decky lynch got in is beyond me.

Odhran Mc Larnon was superb in the two matches I saw at least (semi and final) and got on more ball than anyone else on the pitch. How he didn't get a nomination makes me wonder about the whole validity of this thing.

I want to support it and see it as good promotion of our games, but it needs tweaking or it will lose credibility very quickly.

Harsh on the St Comgalls lads too.

Were the saffron gael reporters asked for input?

Yep....three nominations from each the three grades.....

A panel reduced such to three per position....

Final decision made by public casting their vote per position....

Anything with Brendan Crossan involved will be called into question, not one notion about Gaelic football or hurling does he have.

How decky lynch got the nod over Martin Johnson is baffling. Did this go by public vote or a judging committee?

Public vote.....I

[geezer]

I dare say marty johnston got the majority of the votes but would have been embarrassing for not 1 city player to make it. Both johnston and mclarnon should be there.

Nonetheless, its a nice reward for the players and can only be a good thing going forward.

My only suggestion is to have it in the elk of the wild duck, its not fair making 15 SW players travel to Belfast for years to come 😀

Think the Elk has bad enough publicity lately

He works for Sinn Fein....

Hopefully he doesn't get paid. I thought they were all volunteers also 👀

The very nature of club championship football means it impossible for anyone to see all games at any level.  This is obviously just a publicity stunt and should be treated as such, maybe make more sense to have a senior intermediate and junior team.

Can't believe actual adults are complaining about opinions from reporters on games!? Seriously
