Sigerson Team of the century

[theskull1]

How can these sort of things be taken seriously. Totally pointless exercise

[DuffleKing]

Tohill was a v good sigerson player but not a great one, even though he was starring for derry at the time. He never even played 1 of his three years and just about played in one of the other two.

If you're talking pure sigerson terms, and not on county careers, the likes Justin McNulty, eamon connolly, cathal o'rourke and karl oakes (mom sig final 2000) were grest sigerson players.

For wee james not to be on it is astonishing

One of the main problems for people posting on the board is that you are leaving yourself wide open to be exposed as a tomfool. Below is one such example.

A cursory glance through Queen's Sigerson teams lists an A Tohill playing at midfield in the finals of 1992, 1993 and 1994.

You could be right there ss. My memory was of him not playing  the year he had the trials with united - 92 i think - when they were beaten in the final in galway. could be wrong though.

Nice to be caled a fool though...

Justy took the scenic route through college as well, the eternal student, and had lot of opportunity to play well! But, would agree,

he was some player at College level, and I thought Armagh would have benefited if they had played him further out the field in his

prime.

[BennyHarp]

Cormac McAllanen has a decent shout here too! I know he won Sigerson with Queens, but did he win one win UCD? I think he won two Dublin championships with them, just not sure about Sigerson!

[tyssam5]

McCartan the obvious absence for me.

Bellew mustn't have gone to university.

Bellew mustn't have gone to university.

Nah. Francie was too busy shovelling concrete from the age of 13! Oh yeah and as legend has it "scaring the boogeyman".

[ONeill]

No, don't get that last sentence at all.

[Ulick]

No Marsden?

[deargdoom]

No Marsden?

mmm apparantly captaining a winning side doesn't count, yet Paddy Mo's shortlisted for a Sigerson Team of the century without actually owning a Sigerson medal?!? Something tells me it's based more on name and reputation

Definitely played in Galway in '92. I was there. Brewster only played due to Danny Barr's unavailability.

Nice to be caled a fool though...

Consider it a badge of honour.

The real fool remains the one who selected Brew and McGrane ahead of Tohill.

[DuffleKing]

I wouldn't have any of the three on a list like that, in purely sigerson terms. Certainly not McGrane. The same probably applies for marsden who actually played very little sigerson football, despite being eligible.

Am I not right in saying that Paddy Mo in his time was considered worthy of an All-Star based on Sigerson performances alone in around 74? 

Now way before my time but that surely must indicate the type of Sigerson player he was
