He was good against Tipp, I really hardly remember him against cork.
Harnedy is a deserved All Star, not denying that.
Just find it hard that certain players are being championed for All Star awards when they concede 4-03 in a final (which they only lose by 6 points) while other players like Richie McCarthy concede far less in three games to their direct markers (the first job of any defender) but people still donât rate them or even acknowledge them as contenders
He was the only Kilkenny forward that took the fight to Dublin. He canât be blamed for the rest of the Kilkenny forward line disintegrating around him against Cork.
When are these awards actually announced so we can all continue with our futile arguments?
I can understand a non-KK person not seeing what Power was doing for them. When you are watching games involving your own team live and itâs close or they are in trouble you are always looking for someone to âdoâ something. Power was brilliant and incredibly consistent at this. Weather it was a score or win a free or catch a high ball or whatever. He was the man 7-8 out of 10 times than man this season. Brilliant.
Towards the end of October normally. Think the nominations are out in the next couple of days
Which team are they announcing before the awards night?

I think he is very worthy of nomination. However I think a few inspiring catches have blinded some people.
Ah here, leave Gerry Quinn out of this.
Heâs half back on my yet to be disclosed 15
What the hell you on About! Watch the game again will ya.
Harnedy had him in trouble for about 10 minutes in the 1st half after which Richie Stormed into the game. Christ Loughnane said it a half time that Richie was like the boy with the finger in the dyke! He was basically holding the whole thing together back there. He absolutely dominated the last 15/20 minutes of that half. He would have been man of the match in that game aswell only that he had nothing to do in the second half.
Look I have no problem Cork lads arguing for Shane O Neill. I would have had him in there ahead of McInerney only for the replay but quiet frankly some of the shit ye are talking about McCarthy only getting an all-Star because he âoutran Eoin Kellyâ and because he âmade a few good catchesâ is insulting to a player who had an outstanding year for his County. Id like to think Im being fairly realistic about our all-star chances. We will and should get 1. Thats it
We await it with baited breath :rolleyes:

Funny that you dismissed David McInerney as being cleaned out by Maurice Shanahan something very similar happened in the Waterford Clare game when the Waterford half backline were on top and put excellent ball into Shanahan for a 10-15 minute spell in the first half, once the quality ball dried up McInerney took over and comfortably held Shanahan in the second half

Yep you are right I should have specified 1st half. Waterford helped the situation by deciding to bring Shanahan out the field a bit. I rate McInerney chewy, just arguing with the point that both he and o Neill were better full backs.
Not saying you donât rate him. I thought McInerney did very well v Waterford given it was his first champiosnhip start, he won everything on the floor that day and there isnât an intercounty forward in the country who wouldnât have made hay given the dominance of the Waterford half backline in that 15 or so minutes, he was getting serious quality ball. Once Duggan came on and we got a foot hold Shanahan was on the periphery again. Wouldnât be using it as a stick to beat him with.

Harnedy is the best half forward in the game right now. Wake the fuck up ye tards.[/quote]
No he isnât.
Tony Kelly is both the best midfielder and the best half forward in the game.
