Footballer of the Year 2007

I would have to nominate Dublin's Colin "Colly" Moran. He is a role model for the Dublin youth and I have never seen him play badly for Dublin

would you please remove your avatar.  it is a deeply offensive symbol used by a man who murdered millions of innocent people.

The swastika is a symbol of hate, antisemitism, violence, death, and murder.

One of the other mods banned seanobrien. We think he was a reincarnation of another banned poster. Unfortunately when you ban a user, their avatar is still viewable against their old posts, so I have deleted the user account completely to remove the avatar.

[Pietas]

cheers.  I'll gladly argue against anyone and take personal abuse into the bargain, but what was going on there was well out of order.

[Louth Exile]

glad to see that avatar gone as well

I'd have Conor Gormley on the all star team this year, he was Tyrone's best player - fact

[Uladh]

Being the best player on a team that went out in the quarter final doesn' add up to much

[Louth Exile]

That is a fair point, but to phrase it differently then, I think that he was one of the 6 best defenders in the country this year

[paddypastit]

Gooch threw the hat in for p-o-y today.  Three way race now between himself O'Sullivan and O'Se.  I'd have a slight inkling for O'SE but could go anyway.

I think that you are right and with the nature of these things he will probably get it too! Its a pity because I think over the course of the year O'Sullivan deserves it. Gooch was clearly the MOM yesterday with O'Se second best player on the field and all three fully deserve their all stars.

Did any of you see the Sunday Game team of the year, complete joke.
No way that Canty was best full back, has to be between Fay and Mc Cloy
O'Se has to be in the middle, by their own admission O'Se dominated Murphy in both games and they still had him in front of O'Se (riddle me that one)
I could go on about the amount of players out of position, but I'll leave it at for the time being.

I said Canty here a few weeks ago...... Think I might change that to O'Sullivan!

[whiskeysteve]

Kevin McCloy was twice as good as Canty, against better forwards too

[Billys Boots]

against better forwards too

Did Derry play Kerry?

Did Derry play Kerry?

Nooo. But on the balance he played on tougher forwards (and teams) throughout the season. And looked fantastic each time. Canty had an easier ride of it - though Shane Lennon gave him a tough time - except when they faced Kerry in the final where he got annihilated.

Anyway he put in far more impressive displays than any other full back (though Fay would run him closer than Canty) and I can't believe he didnt get the full back spot on The Sunday Game team of the year. Tony Davis has the biggest pair of rose tinted glasses in Ireland

[orangeman]

I thought Kevin Mc Cloy was the outstanding defender all year - definitely an All Star  -

To repeat myself, would Gooch have been in the running before the All Ireland final ?? Maybe, matbe not - but now everybody is talking about him as Player of Year -

[Louth Exile]

Gooch was not in the running before the final.

I wonder would big Anthony have let them pick Canty at full back, I think it would have been different if had of been there

[Balboa]

Did some big string of p*ss not give Mc Cloy a rough enough time against Mayo in Celtic Park this year.
