Best of luck to naomh Columba tomorrow in the intermediate and off course my own club Naomh conail on Sunday.
And well done to all our all stars and nominees.
And a special shout-out to my own clubman on winning an all star and young footballer of the year, well deserved.
Isn't it great to be amongst the all star talk and reaching all Ireland finals.
Thank you to Jim McGuiness for bringing back pride in the county. And we should be doing everything possible to persuade Jim to extend his time beyond next year, and blood in even some more young talent.

Sam Mulroy and Oisin Conaty gettin all stars is laughable.
How does Conor o Donnell not get one?

Replying To TheBlackDeath:  "This. This smug, sanctimonious attitude might be why some don't fall down and worship at the feet of hurling folk. Such notions! "Hurling is a game for the gods" etc. Like there was never a dour hurling match or cynical play or lads lacking skill who made up for it by being tough hatchet men."
I will admit I am very much a hurling snob. I am aware it is a minority sport. To me it's just far more culturally unique. The true Gaels are dual counties, but that's just my view.

Any decent athlete can get up to speed fairly quickly in football. I just don't think that's the case in hurling.

There's plenty of cynical stuff in hurling of course, but I would rather watch a poor hurling game than the best football game.

Well done to our All Stars & especially to Finnbarr on winning YPOTY. A magnificent achievement.

Hopefully we can have another enjoyable year in 2026!

Replying To S1234:  "And why shouldn't a defender get an all star over a forward ? It's about how well you do in your position not about what position you play . Each position is just as important as the other."
He All Stars have always been 1 GK, 6 Defenders, 2 Midfielders and 6 Forwards

Why would they change it this year to put a defender in at corner forward
Rightly or wrongly the people picking the team didn't think he was one 6 best defenders. To say he should been thrown in as one of 6 Forwards is silly

Delighted for the four who got the allstars and a bit disappointed for the few others who i thought were in the conversation. Conor should have got one but sure this is always the way with the format as it is and there is inevitably someone left out who was more deserving than others. I have to say I am very pleased with McCole finally getting one after three years of being nominated. He has been so consistent and was one of the few stand out players even in that awful season 2023. He's hands down one of the best defenders in the country this long while.

Replying To S1234:  "Absolutely well said . Yes agree on the selection process is just bizarre .

It shouldn't just be all about the teams who made the final . It should be spread out to the lower ranked teams is well ."
Maybe then Mayo might get an All Star.....

Wee county they are known as.

Mulroy got one because mainly his county won it's first Leinster title in 68 years and in the final he scored 1-7 against your own Meath.

Only surprise about the selections is Conor O'Donnell not included. I'd probably put him in before Conaty though Conaty was good also.

Replying To S1234:  "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 ."
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

Replying To Doylerwex:  "That is true, which is really sad considering hurling is infinitely superior to football in every way."
Not really. A toddler could score in senior hurling now. Much harder to score in football

Replying To Doylerwex:  "To say you're a good person is a hell of a statement. What measurement criteria are you using?

Full disclosure, I am not a good person. I am a flawed person who's trying very hard to make good choices but continually makes mistakes so it's not my intention to judge or lecture you.

I'm simply saying the language you use seems to absolve you of any duty to make good choices but maybe I'm misunderstanding you."
Life too short to be worrying about if you're a good or bad person. We all have our faults but nobody is a saint. However most people are good people. In 100 years nobody will even remember we existed.

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.

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.

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.
