Dubs get 4!

Dubs get 4?

Ah well you have to laugh really. That's why I never pay any attention to the All-Stars.

There's been years when teams have rampaged to All-Ireland final wins and they've just got 4 or 5 All-Stars. Dubs didn't even get to a final. Go figure.

[David McKeown]

Am I right in saying that Tyrone and Sligo are only the 2nd and 3rd counties to win a provincial title and not pick up a single award?  Armagh being the first in 2004

[Canalman]

David, listen to this.

Dublin won Leinster in 2005, ran the All Ireland Champions to a replay in the 1/4 finals and did not get an allstar.

Has happened before I believe to I think Galway earlier in the decade (although I am not sure)

My gripes and comments:

1. Paddy Bradley's long-running campaign for an All Star is at an end. Other years he deserved one. Not this year in my opinion. Where did he really set a mark other than against Dublin? Donnacha Walsh of Cork should have been there. Consistently good throughout the year.

2. Dublin deserved three of the four they got. Cannot understand Alan Brogan's selection. His brother should even have come ahead of him.

3. The Meath goalie is a good shot-stopper but not confident under the dropping ball. Cluxton deserves it. He is the best in the country.

4. The whole thing is a farce.

the way i see it with the all stars is that if you have a bad game further on in the competion for e.g the ai final your chance of an All star is gone for e.g look at mayo last year only got 2 Awards and Cork this year with 1.This year Dublin get knocked out in the semi and they get 4.I wouldn't agree with Brogan or Bray or cahill getting their awards, anyway no 2 people are going to agree on the same 15.

I can only go as far back as 2001 but this is the first year I can recall that the top scorer didn't get one.

[the Deel Rover]

who was top scorer in 2004 ONEILL? If it was mortimer he didn't get one either

[his holiness nb]

This thread is hilarious, why not call Joe Duffy and complain about the Dubs getting 4?

Its not about the dubs HH its the whole selection of All Stars, anyway i thought the Joe Duffy show was a programme of complaining Dubs 

[DUBSFORSAM1]

Cluxton is the best keeper in the country....made one single mistake in miskicking a pass and thats it....
Cahill was outstanding for Dublin this year...constantly won his battles at half back and never in trouble in any of his matches
Whelan - was possibly the best midfielder this year but definitely in the top 2
Brogan - still scored an avg of 3.5 points from play despite being marked by the best players including 3 points against the player of the year in Marc O'Se...

Gormley should probably have been in ahead of Canty...

[INDIANA]

must eb the first time that somone got roasted in an all-ireland final (canty) and got an award. cahill did deserve one- consistently excellent all year- i agree brogan was fortunate.

[orangeman]

Canty's award was a joke - roasted by two men in the AI final but still gets one  - pathetic - there must be some amount of newspapers sold in Dublin !!

Forde. He got one.

[magickingdom]
