True I guess,, one good half of football in an all Ireland final could potentially land a player an all star but we don't really know if these guys would walk onto a senior panel. As another poster mentioned we can't be sure if Jack Conway would even make the limerick starting line up, let alone give him an all star. I do however remember a guy called Liam Watson for antrim,, unbelievable hurler,, not sure if he ever got an all star but won an all ireland club with loughgiel,, scored a hat trick in the final.

Brilliant player think there was some sort of falling out with the county setup. Never got an allstar.

To be fair, if you were from Limerick or Waterford or Galway etc. and had a great year and lost out on an All star to a player playing at a far lower level... well I think the all stars would definitely be a farce then and no one would value them anymore..

Is a fair point too. That's why I think they should be done away with.

I don't like the all stars or hurler of the year. The only individual accolade I think is worth keeping is where players vote for their player of the year. If you have to select a hurler of the year for 2020 it may well come down to Tony Kelly v Gearoid Hegarty.

Slayer, there's a name I've not seen here in a while. Welcome back. Well done on the c'ship this year. Ye won it in a canter. The closest anyone got was 3 points and that flattered us. Maroonatic (Galway) - Posts: 1060 - 16/12/2020 11:10:46 2322827 Link 2 |

I'm not one bit surprised at that and I would expect nothing less from them. I think Mayo would be alot more sensible than LK. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2212 - 16/12/2020 13:52:44 2322863 Link 1 |
No blackspot91 you just lost out to better player from your own county to represent it as an All Star. If you (player) have a problem with a player from Laois, Carlow, Mayo etc. been recognized as an outstanding player on their team then that says something about you. It might say something about the GAA and the promotion of the games if this recognition was given. That is my opinion and respect everyone else's.

Sarsfield proved you could not split those Limerick people. John Kiely's the word and John Kiely's the man obviously. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2665 - 18/12/2020 20:43:31 2323520 Link 0 |
