How does Conor o Donnell not get one?"
Conor O Donnell was by far Donegals best forward this year, had a great final, if they were giving one forward All Star to Donegal it was him by a mile, Sam Mulroy had a great year and deserves his All Star.

Have to agree with you on that. Conor O'Donnell is a glaring omission. I think Mulroy is a super footballer, but O'Donnell had the better year in my opinion. He was a constant threat from play.

I agree with you that conor ó Donnell should have got it ahead of mulroy. Can see why mulroy got it though, with louth winning leinster and he being their main man. I think mulroy was better last year.
Conaty totally deserved his though. Got 5 or 6 points from play in a couple of matches.

Conor O Donnell is unlucky but Louth were always going to get an All star and Mulroy was fantastic. There wasn't much wriggle room in the full forward line because Clifford and Murphy were dead certs. I don't believe Paudie Clifford deserved an All star but I am definitely in the minority. He missed a lot of football during the year with suspension and injury. Donegal's decision to give him the freedom of Croke Park for the All Ireland handed him the accolade.

The All Star awards seem fair enough. The nominations were out of kilter with how the summer played out.

Conaty certainly deserved his but maybe Burns could have been in instead. Murdock was best midfielder in Ireland this year. McCole was lucky.

The man of the match in the biggest game you played all year scoring 1-7

We didn't even need him to beat you comfortabley in the league either
He also scored 0-13 v Down in the All Ireland

I think Burns was better myself over the year (he scored just the 0-9 against you in the league, and 1-3 in the final) No Meath player came close to either against us

The all stars is a joke. How Donegal got 4 stars after getting thrashed in final is laughable. Jack Coyne deserved it over Sam Mulroy anyway .

The Irish newspaper coverage of the All stars pure cringe going down the route of the British tabloids. Trying to big up the glitz and glamour and the well dressed couples. It's like the Daily Mail coverage of the British soap awards.

Yeh a efender should most definitely get the all star instead of a forward in the forward positions

Sure why not throw David Clifford full back on the team to make space for another forward while they are at it
