Paddy Bradley to get an allstar

[OUR BOY]

Firstly Paddy's suspension or non-suspension is irrelevant when it comes to all stars unlike pre 1990's when being suspended automatically ruled you out of all-star contention. Altough Paddy was probably not as good as previous years i would defy anyone who SAW Paddy against Armagh,Mayo,Laois and Dublin to tell me who deserved the full forward award more.He was at least very good (if not excellent againsr Dublin and Laois)in all these games. Even against Monaghan when Derry were totally outplayed out the field and there was virtually no ball (not to mention quality ball) played into the full-forward line he still managed to score 1-1 from play.Again i ask you to tell me who deserved the no 14 jersey more and why?

He has deserved an award in previous years, but not in 2007. This really was a case of it being 'his turn'.
It's all the more disgraceful because of the suspension that he never served at the start of the year and that still has not been dealt with. It's a shame - he's a great player, but this allstar is tainted.

a bit like the way Canavan incorrectly got one instead of the more deserving Brian McGuigan
or the one Kieran McKeever of Derry received when he had only an average season- but should have had a couple by that stage.

Bradley deserved one long ago, but while not being there for all the the championship games or matche fit and as effective as he usually is - he was as good as anyone else vying for the position
