Football All stars 2021

[clarshack]

Kennedy??  All stars seem to come down to 3 games, final, all Ireland semi, all Ireland final, its been donkeys years since a players performance was based on a entire year's performance.

Kennedy has done well to get an all-star, even in the final I thought Kilpatrick was the better of the two and I wouldn't have gave Kilpatrick one either. McKernan and possibly McNamee can feel disappointed.

How in under God did Kerry get the same number of All-Stars as Mayo? It's hilarious. Mayo take down the Dubs and make the final but still apparently don't deserve more than a team that won no games outside of their province. 

Paudie Clifford must have got one for his performances in the Munster Championship because it certainly had nothing to do with the semi-final.

I'd imagine McKernan's discipline worked against him when it came to All-Star selection.

Those picking these All Stars probably looked at the fact Kerry was joint winners of the Div 1 league and lost to Tyrone after extra time by the narrowest of margins.

Losing by the narrowest of margins in a game where they were strong favourites?

Being joint winners of the League is definitely as important as coming back from 7 points down against the best team to ever play the game, and making the All-Ireland final.

All very logical.

Mullin must got his then for his performances in Connacht cause he didn't play the semi and was poor in the final.

You looking all stars based on the Dublin game when you couldn't hit a barn door and were very poor in the final.

Is this the first year were the young player of the year didn't win an All Star?
Clifford lucky to win one as well. They should just rename the All Stars to the All Ireland series awards. All Stars are handed out based on semi final/final performances. Rest of the year is irrelevant

Jesus lads, Clifford was like a one man show in the semi final against Tyrone.  Not sure how things would have panned out had he not got injured.  Fully deserving I think

[smort]

Who are the other boys hard done by then? Think it's a pretty fair 15, apart from maybe Kennedy, although not sure who should be there in his place

That's my point. All Star handed out based on one game.

Yeah the midfield options weren't exactly hectic this year.

Pretty sure it's happened a good few times before.

Would O'Sullivan have deserved one?

David Clifford deserved one, his brother did not.

Paudie was fantastic throughout the year before getting shackled in the semifinal. He could easily have been up for POTY if kerry had gotten to the final
