@mickee321 see the jaw line on Connolly? Is it the roids that do that?

And neither warranted…

This bugs me more than it should.

The lad is good but at the end of it, he choose a lot of wrong options against kk.

Get over it what does it really matter. Ye have yer asterisked all ireland, ye should be more than happy

You’ll never forget it when it happens for ye mate.

I’m trying to figure out which was the best. 95 in the lower hogan, 97 at the canal end. 13 with the young lad in the Cusack.

Keep the faith …

Think Keegan is the right call, though I thought they’d never make it - you look at how he did from the quarter finals on, what his man scored on him (in fact, he was outscoring the men he marked), and I think he did enough. Fenton was good but I thought the Mayo lads had the midfield the second game.

As for the hurling, when Tip have thumped every crowd in sight, including the all-ireland champions and Waterford themselves, it’s a bit ridiculous not to give it one of 'em. Callanan for me.

Gleeson was comfortably the best hurler in the country this year. Callanan was quiet by his standards apart from the final. Maher had a good year but never reached Gleeson’s heights. The best hurler should win the Hurler of.the Year. Not the best hurler on the All Ireland winning team.

Gleeson was outrageously good this year. If he keeps going at this rate I think he will be the greatest of all time.

They beat Galway by a point pal.

Voted player of the year by a jury of his playing peers. I’ll take that over the verdict of an embittered keyboard warrior standing behind his printer in Clare.

Outstanding. Simply outstanding.

Gleeson put in a few incredible individual performances this year that you’d normally be lucky to see once every few years. Callanan had an excellent final but was average enough apart from that.

Ah we won’t begrudge it to them. Sure it’ll shorten the winter for them. I’d say sheamie won’t give a fuck either way. He’ll have a right crack at it again next year.

Like the 9 wides he struck against Wexford? Or Cathal Barrett out-hurling him in the Munster Final or was it the displays that earned Waterford a draw and a defeat in the two AI Semi Finals he played?

Both POTY decisions correct in my view. Close between Keegan and Fenton but Gleeson thoroughly deserving.

Tipp boys badly rattled here.

You need to move on from this, you have your all-Ireland, why squabble over the consolation prize

Austin can only do so much. Its a 15 man game, not a 1 man game. If Waterford had a few more even half as good as him, they’d be All Ireland champions.

Yeah and to be fair, it’s not hard to see why they gave it to Aussie. He’ll be the poster boy for hurling for years to come.

Ah in fairness I wouldn’t have begrudged it to Seamie. 9 points from play in an All Ireland is a feat we will hardly see again.
