dont think neil mcgee desreved 2 allstars really with the blanket defences in front of him. well over-rated player in my opinion.  he got destroyed against eugene keating when donegal played cavan. rory o caroll had a very good year with dublin thought he deserved the all star.Eugene keating also had a good year with cavan but was disregarded.  its  a bit biased towards players from the 2 teams that played in the final to be honest. doesnt give other players from other teams who had great years with their county any credit where its due

The fact that Donegal stopped playing halfway through the second half and that was when Keating did most of his damage is irrelevent of course. As is the fact that Donegal constantly threw McGee's defensive colleagues forward in support of the attack this year. Some of you boys apparently think that a team of chimpanzees could win an All Ireland with Jim McGuinness using electric shock reward/punishment reinforcement training to teach them his system.

Well, not in that weather.

Inter-county players get far too little praise for the effort they put in even to just make the field. You see so many wonderful little stories like this go unreported every year.
