A few surprises on that team i guess the bookies got it wrong!

Wasn't expecting any All star for us but Cooper,Coulter instead of D Shine D Goulding D O'Connor? & Charlie Harrison instead of R O'Carroll? (he wasn't even Sligo best defender this year)

Anyways Congrats to the winners

[Peter Solan the Great]

Why did Harrison get one? a bit of pandering i think. They beat two average teams in Connacht, bottle the final to Roscommon and then get hammered by Down. Very surprising. If anyone fron the Sligo team was going to get an allstar it would be Mayo man Alan Costelloe.

[ross4life]

Costello was one of the surprise obmission from the nominations & bookies odds beforehand said connacht's best chance of an All-Star would be Harrison.. so they got that spot on

[imtommygunn]

Canty should have been nowhere near one and I wouldn't be too convinced on Harrison or Kissane either. Personally I thought Kissane was the weak link in the Cork defense.

Cooper, while everyone crumbled round him, was superb against Down. He was also, if I recall correctly, very good against cork both days so I think merits one. I really never believed Goulding deserved one. I think Canty got one for the vote of giving cork one more.

A wee bit disappointed not to see John Galvin getting one.

[Donnellys Hollow]

I'd have no qualms whatsoever with the six forwards picked. No Cork player deserved to get in there tbf.

I'd have had Galvin in midfield and I'm not sure at all about the half-back line - Kevin McKernan and Éamonn Callaghan had better years than Canty.

Well done to Peter Kelly and particularly Johnny Doyle on a long overdue award.

[Mid Down Gael]

Canty getting one is a joke. Kevin McKernan was outstanding for Down and was much more accomplished than each member selected in the half back line. He has been disgracefully left out. How Charlie Harrison and Peter Kelly where selected ahead of Rory OCarroll is also poor judgement.
I thought Daniel Goulding deserved an allstar while Paddy Kelly, Emmett Bolton, and Michael Darragh McAuley where unlucky not to win awards.
Nice to see Benny Coulter getting an all star after ten years of pure brilliance for Down alongside Danny Hughes, Marty Clarke and Brendan McVeigh.

[haze]

Raging i didn't back Benny coulter at 8/1 when PP announced the prices! Pleasantly surprised cork didn't manage to get a spot in the forwards though I'd imagine Goulding will feel very aggrieved. Serious full forward line.
Delighted for John Doyle

[INDIANA]

Complete joke and has no credibility left.

Cant believe Mc Mahon didnt get one.

Canty had no business being nominated never mind getting one.

As good as he was in the final. Aiden Walsh shouldnt have got one either.

Cant believe John Galvin didnt get one

Keenan deserves his though.

[Dubh driocht]

While we could argue a few points, from a Down perspective 4 is about right.Might not have been the 4 I would have picked but the panel have spoken.
Delighted for Benny Coulter- shame on the RTE team of the year panel.

[southsidejohnny]

What is it about Kildare that gets All Stars on a quiet year? They got three in 1997 for winning one match and losing a Leinster semi final. Journalists are like politicians, they throw things out to gain access and influence, Harrison of Sligo an All Star and Galvan from Limerick not? Its a joke. But it was long ago most people saw them for what they were. David Heaney from Mayo was outstanding all season in 2004 and had a poor final. Canty was injured all this season and had a good twenty minutes in the final and gets one, was it because he was Corks captain?. All Stars...more like All S****. How can Canty get one and Nicholas Murphy not get one? How come Donie Shine who's team actually won something in Connacht this year as opposed to a shower who were blinded by their own wind and letters from important people like TDs ! ,didnt get one?

[sammymaguire]

Philly Jordan  not for me

[imtommygunn]

Philly Jordan  not for me

Jordan best WHB in the country this year. Can't think of anyone better.

[ziggysego]

Great for Phillip Jordan. Shone this year for Tyrone and delighted he has been rewarded for it.

[DuffleKing]

I couldn't work out how jordan got nominated never mind getting one
