Irish News Ulster All-Stars

[full back]

To be honest if it's from the Ulster Championship I'd be handing out one (Dooher) max to Tyrone.

Obviously it;s not just the Ulster Championship so more than likely Ulster players through-out the league & championship/qualifiers competions, much in the same way as the BOI All-Stars.    Enda McGinley has been Tyrone's most consistent player thoughout winter & summer and fully deserving of the award. 

Looks as if the League has been pretty much ignored with these awards

[EC Unique]

Im sure the Tyrone boys could not give two flying fucks if they make this team or not. At this time of the year it is about as important as an Ulster title   Did Mc keever not get cleaned against Fermanagh?

Lads,lads,lads, these awards are decided by simply totting up readers votes. It stands to sense then that there's going to be more votes for teams doing well at the actual time of voting, than for Derry who won the league way back in May then flopped in the Championship. Purely and simply its the readers who decide the recipients.

Well damn all people in Cavan, Monaghan or Donegal will read the Irish news so I expect those counties will poorly compared to how they performed in  the summer.

How Fergal doc was overlooked for this award is shocking and reflects as Tony said on the people who voted. He practically won the National League against kerry on his won. Thios could prove to be the only national title in Ulster this year

[JMohan]

Doc did not deserve one.
A very good League all round, but an average Championship contribution.
Good against Donegal in the first half, quiet in the 2nd, Conway and Diver did well in the 2nd
Fermanagh Absent (IMO unfairly), Monaghan - average

The winning team was the one I picked - do I get a biscuit.

No, Tony ate it.

You can just damn the Cavan ones
Last year Monaghan got 6 or 7 in the team. That is clear enough evidence for me that Irish News readers are capable of knowing their stuff.

I'd have given McGinley POTY. McElroy of Fermanagh was the best half back this year and is also missing. No Armagh player should be on that side for annually choking in Croker.

Tommy McElroy was Fermanaghs best player over the year IMO but for some reason tends to be overlooked by everyone, including his own county.  If it was based on the Ulster Championship then Clarke had to be a shoe in.  If not, then McGinley would certainly challenge him.  As far as I am aware it is based on the qualifiers as well.  Think McGrath's comments showed he was almost embarrassed to get it .

Why don't they wait until the AI final is over?
Do they know something we don't ?

[Tyrone Dreamer]

If you include the whole championship then Cavanagh has been more impressive than Clarke. He's scored as much from play in each game as Clarke whilst helping out out the field for large parts of matches as well.

[FermPundit]

Obviously from a Fermanagh perspectve I'm pleased that five of the boys got awards but Tommy McElroy was without doubt the most consistent Fermanagh player this year. Marty McGrath had a decent enough year but there is no way he was player of the year. In all honesty these awards mean very little.

[fan01]

really taught that Marty o'rourke deserved an all-star last night for his hard work and determation that he has given to armagh football over the past couple of years.
