@myboyblue

I believe there was a Limerick hurler who posted here who may or may not have had relatives in Tipperary who were also Intercounty hurlers

He’s back in training.

@flattythehurdler

There is merit to this. I think Paul Flynn got scandalously few, and don’t really think McDonald did enough, but he didn’t really have the chance, as I suspect that semifinal and final performances on the whole are more heavily weighted, not that that is right.

Performances from the knock out stages on are what really matters. I think performing very well in the big day should earn a few extra stripes, but not to the degree it does. It’s reasonably common for lads who were fair to middling most of the year to get an award based on one CP performance.

The awards are a farce and always will be until there is an equitable amount of games. Then a formal system could be put in place where a top 5 players get points on a weighted system each game. Voted for by either a panel or managers.

This then could be added to a GPA vote at the end of the year.

Like they do in Aussie rules I think there is a similar system

@carryharry

I thought it was common knowledge that at least 3 current IC Hurlers post here. :rolleyes:

More interesting are the couple. Of journo’s who lurk here.

FFS, playing minor football for Limerick and Wexford pre-2010 can’t count. They wouldn’t have beaten top schools teams.

There is a former Senior hurler and footballer here for sure from other counties. And I know there is former Cork Minor hurlers and footballers, Cork U21 dual players and a well known former senior hurler members here.

You’re either well known or you’re not.

Tell that to Margot Kidder and Danny Bonaduce

[croppy_boy]

@caoimhaoin

No. They’re former players who are still well known or they’re former players who are not.

@croppy_boy

No. They’re former players who are still well known or they’re former players who are not.

Things, places and people can be formerly well known.

How many players would you have recognised well 10/20/30 years ago, that you’d struggle to name now if shown an old photo.
