Cian Mackey is a poor mans Peadar Byrne.

Peadar Byrne? Say no more

Mackey will get nominated for sure anyway. Paul Flynn is having a brilliant championship, and another good performance and he will have one of the half forward places sorted.

Mattie Donnelly from Tyrone is having a great year, bound to be in with a shout of a nomination.

Hardly heard his name mentioned at the weekend . . . are you sure about that?

Outside of Sean Cavanagh he has, IMO, been our best player. Doing superb link play between defence and attack as well as making the score sheet in every (nearly certain) game.

Apart from cavanagh no tyronies have stood out for me. Probably mccurry would be second even though he was poor at weekend. Just goes to show that the tyrone system is really proving its worth this year without the usual suspects really shining.

Wile feeling it will all come to an end when they meet mayo however.

[Canalman]

For me the cast iron selections are

1 McCaffrey

2 One of / if not both Cavanagh / O'Shea (one could "eliminate" the other in the semi final maybe allowing McAuley or a Kerryman to sneak in)

The rest still very much up for grabs.

Don't think Monaghan/Cork/Cavan/Donegal did themselves any favours at the weekend.

As posted already, the semi final results will decide 10 of the Allstar awards.

Michael Darragh McAuley has been Dublin's most important player all year, and is the best midfielder in the country.

I thought McManus had another fine game, obviously the remaining games will determine how much of a chance he has. I'd imagine Cillian O'Connor has a corner forward spot nailed down.

Wylie also continued his good form,  won't win one though.

And not Aidan O'Shea? 

[blanketattack]

If Dublin win their semi-final could all 15 All-Stars come from 3 semi-finalists as happened in 2005?

And not Aidan O'Shea? 

Hang on a mo, Aiden o shea (outside of the donegal match) has outfielded and dominated club footballers at best. Dont be wetting yourself just yet. Let him chase Sean Cavanagh for 70 mins and we will see.

Pretty sure they were playing county football which automatically makes them county footballers.

Do you know, what's the point , the anti all things Mayo gets stronger by the day. Fook the lot of ye, take it out of my bollix come Sunday evening.

It's an anti-Tyrone and anti-Mayo conspiracy. And anti-Carlow. Especially Carlow.

[larryin89]

Yeah it can be taken as banter  or whatever but its getting pretty tiresome about all the cliches surrounding Mayo , Mayo players and Mayo support.
