Hardy

Relying on memory, I think it was Mark O'Reilly in '99 and Martin O'Connell in the '96 replay.

Mark Harte at 33/1 looks a shoo-in!

Think Hardy's right on this one, remember it being Mark O'Reilly myself. Think I remember it being mentioned at the All-Star banquet where it was pointed out that the MOTM in the AIF always gets an All-Star.

knew it was one of the corner backs, though obviously the most influential player on the pitch was geraghty, you'd think that might have made the recipient of the man of the match award wouldn't you?

MOTM rarely goes to a back, usually a forward or MF player so Enda McGinley at 22/1 looks a good bet since he's been Tyrone's player of the season so far.

QuotePhilly Jordan for me!

I hope you are right Norf 'cos if Jordan gets it the half back line will be running riot!    Unfortuatley I fear Philly will have his hands too full with Sheehan to be giving another performance like against Wexford.

Not so sure, Sheehan is surpreme with the feet, but not so much of a runner/worker.

FSB - to be fair to Brian he's never going to be like yer man Bolt the sprinter. However football doesn't allow the luxury of a passenger and in fairness to him he's earned his place both from play and dead balls.

I know the lads father and he's well got and honest. He'll give whatever he has.

Not doing the lad down Frank, he's absolutely deadly from dead or live ball, and honest with it. But my humble opinion is that this is not the type of game for him (could be completely wrong come Sunday at 17:30); if we're throwing up fouls he'll hammer us, doubtless, but failing that I feel that there'll be too much hard graft required in that sector of the field in this particular game to suit him.

FSB - fair enough - but I've a feeling that if anyone is looking for a soft spot he mightn't be it.

Kerry marksman Bryan Sheehan has admitted he had to change his game to secure a regular starting place on the Kerry XV.

'Free-taking won't get you on any team. I've had to adapt and work on my aggression, physical work and workrate,' the St Mary's clubman said.

'When I first came into the set-up, the one thing I found very difficult was the physical side of the game. When I was moved out to the half-forward line the stakes were upped. Hopefully I can keep it going.' (Various)
