All of a Sludden

Delighted for Paddy Keenan, well deserved All Star. While it will never go close to making up for the Leinster final fiasco, it is still a hell of an achievement. Congrats to all the other recipients as well. Glad that Benny Coulter got an award, well worth it, especially at 8/1. Surprised that the Gooch got one, also surprised at Harrisons inclusion. Thought young Donie Shine should have got one.
I'm gonna show you as gently as I can how much you don't know.

Jesus, are you still going on about that?
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Bernard Brogan named as the Footballer of the Year (no surprise) & Cork Aidan Walsh picked up the Young Footballer of the Year award (debatable)
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

Proved again how unfunny Kielty is.
The dance routine at the end was satire or a wind up. Right??
Fierce tame altogether

How did Kielty keep saying Down got three all stars? Embarassing.

Thought the two of them weren't that funny really...

The dancing at the start and the end was a joke, not needed and there was some of them who were actually shit dancers.

Could they not have scrapped the dancing and shown a highlight package of the award winners? Even twenty to thirty seconds each?

Pathetic show.

RTE have made a complete balls of the All Star's night just like they did with the 125 Late Late show.  I'll give the GAA the benefit of the doubt and say that they had little input into last nights sham/joke production.

The dancing at the start and end was terrible and was pointless and added nothing to the night.  All this served to do was put WTF expressions on the faces of the players. 
They should announce both teams on the night.
They should show the nominees for each position and some clips of each of them and then announce the winner. This gives the nominees some recognition on the big night.
After the two teams been picked interview a few from each team and maybe both winning managers.
Never have Kieltyesque clowns near the thing again.  Car crash TV.
The All Stars show should be a simple production to put together and I just can't belive that RTE could make such a complete hames of it.

Do RTE have a program like Points of View that BBC used to do?

Load of balls. There's no need to be televising the All Stars at all.

There is every right to televise the All Stars, its just that RTE make a hames of it. The awards should not be known until they are announced on TV, it really takes away from the occasion.

What's your hurry? give him a bit more time. Kerry fans still can't get over the sideway glances the Cork players gave to Kerry at the Munster Championship.

Well done to Bernard Brogan, a forgone conclusion if ever there was one.

I saw a bit of the dancing as I was flicking around the channels.
GUBU stuff.
It says a lot that I went out of my way to avoid this programme as it couldn't BUT be an absolute train-wreck given RTE's track record at this sort of thing.
They've outdone themselves this time.

The most cringe worthy bit was at the end of the first dance when your one wouldnt get out of the way of Michael Lister.

its a train wreck because of the presenters. The comedians were better. Youd swear Lyster had never seen the inside of a porn mag he moved so quickly to close matters

QuoteHow did Kielty keep saying Down got three all stars? Embarassing.

Kielty was making reference to the three forward All-Stars which Down got and Cork got none, and then was making reference to the three using Neil as a 'target' - although I'm sure McVeigh wouldn't have minded either.

Having been at the show myself they certainly helped lift the crowd after many weren't delighted by the dancers. Tightest produced All-Stars in recent years.

Chris agus Snoop

Joke of a show which suits the joke of a selection.

Cork did the league championship double, highest scorers from play in the league, 2 of their forwards score 14 points between them in the final and not a single forwards
gets an award? Seems like a deliberate insult to Cork from these know nothing Journalists. That said its even more puzzling that Canty gets an award from so little game time. The only conclusion is that the people who select them know nothing about football.
