I don know how Armagh got 8 all stars and Conor Galss , L Derry , Paul Mannion, and them two Kerry Clifford Brothers got none
Scrap this Charade immediately, i or limit all stars awards to say only two players from any one County
In its current state ts distasteful to me

Distasteful. Give over.
You can't limit it to any specific number per county as then it's not a ream of the year

Has something changed here? I thought All Stars later in the year?

An absolute farce that Sam Mulroy didn't make the team.

OP is referring to team selected by TSG panel on TV Sunday night. The Sunday Sport radio panel (Andy Moran, Conor McManus, Mark McHugh and Kyle Coney) picked a slightly more representative team , less influenced by the AI final.

B Hughes
J McGrath, B McCambridge, T O'Sullivan.
D Mc Hugh, A Forker, P Mogan
P Conroy, R O'Neill
S Mulroy, J Maher, O Conaty,
O Gallen, R Finnerty, C Turbitt

He's referring to the 'Team of the Year' picked by the panel on The Sunday Game. It's not actually the All-Stars. That'll be at its usual time later in the year.

I always think the all stars should reflect as far as the quarter finals/ teams who get that far andd have won a fair few games, but it never does, as an Armagh man I think plenty of our team should get in but the back line is very hard to chose compared to the forward line, the team for me would be.

Hughes
Mcgrath
Mckay
Mcccambridge
Mogan
Mchugh
O'beaglaoich
Conroy
Durnin
R O'Neill
Maher
Grugan
Gallen
Turbitt
Finnerty

Tom Sullivan should be getting All Star in forwards. Does very little defending.

He kept Rory Grugan scoreless in semi and in quarter final v Derry he also kept his marker scoreless.Not bad for a man that does very little defending.

Thinking about the All Stars has really made me realise that Armagh were worthy winners. A case could be made for almost every Armagh player, they really had a wide range of heavy contributors throughout the year. History would suggest that it will be about 7 , but what 7.
Definites are O'Neill, McCambridge, Turbitt ( despite poor final).
Probables include Hughes , Forker.
Not sure who the other 2 will be . I suspect 2 from Conaty , Grugan, McKay . But there is a case for other Armagh players too including Stefan Campbell too even though his appearances were all substitute appearances he had a massive influence all season ( he may not even get a nomination because of the bias that just because he wasnt a starter for Armagh ).
From a Galway perspective the number will be 4, I think. McGrath , McHugh, Conroy, Maher. And honestly the only 2 others that there is a reasonable case for is Gleeson and Finnerty, which really highlights the fact that Armagh were much more balanced.
For Kerry there is a case for Paudie Clifford, O Beaglaigh, O'Sullivan. I actually really think Paudie Cliffords performance this year were outstanding.
For Donegal Gallen is a cert , and Mogan more than likely. They wont get any more but if they had got to final there would have been plenty more candidates Ban Gallagher , McCole , McHugh, Langan, Thompson.
Outside of the Semi Finalists ,Sam Mulroy is the best shot and I hope he gets one.
If it was a true All Star team Dublin would get at least 1. Blitzed through Leinster, topped qualifying group and very unluckily beaten in QF. Likely they wont but in all honesty, Ciaran Kilkenny , Cormac Costello, Con O Callaghan were in the top 15 performers in the country this year.
Similarly Conor Glass, Aidan O Se both had powerful years . Not a chance for either because of the bias towards the last couple of weekends of action.

Liam Silke is another you could put in running for Galway nulified O'Neill in final got 1pt each

2pts in semi final also at crucial stages.

Competitive area unlikely to get one.

McDaid too

Been wise after event Galway had contributions all over too not reliant on a few either.

Mulkerrin Darcy all unheralded players who performed well also.

Yes very good analysis and agree on Armagh.Stefan Campbell has been superb during the league and excellent on all his cameos as a sub during the championship.Galway had some super performances diring the year with the evergreen Paul Conroy just brilliant.It will be hard for other counties to get All stars due to the great performances of both Armagh and Halway players.Donegal will deservedly get Oisin Gallen and possibly Peader Mogan.Dublin had Fenton as usual a top performer and Con O Callaghan had a super league but will probably end up empty handed.As a Kerryman I thought Paul Murphy was our best player all year but up against stiff competition.O Beaglaoich Tom Sullivan and Paudie Clifford will get nominations but will struggle to get an all star imo.Louth will have a shout with Mulroy .Brendan Rogers was e cellent with Derry but with Conroy a cert,only one slot goiing so prob wont make it.It will be mainly Armagh and Galway.

Twas distasteful to me in 2021. Limerick only got 12 Al Stars that year, when a blind Hurling Enthusiast, flying by on a galloping Horse, would notice that the Treaty Boys should have got the whole caboddle.
