On recent performances, there really should be no chance about it, bring him in and give him all the time that's needed. Durcan is some player, he has quietly gone about taking the mantle as one of the best players in the County. And he looks like he's just going to improve and improve. I would love to see him given the KMcL role next year.

NY could not travel to Ireland at full strenght if they have undocumented guys and Mayo ate unlikely to travel at short notice to the US. Plus the qualifiers don't make accommodation for a NY win. I'd love to know what the official plan for a NY win is, if there even is one.

Hennelly was brought in because the Mayo management believed that, after analysis of the first game, an altered kick out strategy would take something away from Dublin's game plan. As of turned out Hennelly made one bad mistake that resulted in a Dublin goal. Had Higgins, Harrison and Durckan conceded three kickable frees that Dublin converted, no one would be talking about Clarke's All Star as some sort of "I told you so". Hennelly is no slouch, it's not as if a guy was brought in who never had played at this stage, he and Clarke have swapped that jetesy for the last few years, ask 100 Mayo fans who should be in goals and it would be 50/50. He just had one howler and now every keyboard warrior thinks they are smarter than Rochford. Too often Mayo managers have been criticised for not making a brave decision. Well done to Clarke on the All Star. Let's look forward to 2017.

I think the all star for Clarke makes Rochford's decision even worse. Clarke is and always was a better goalie over Hennelly. I don't agree with the 50/50 comment. I think clarke wins it every day and I hope he waits around. Mayo needs him to wait as he is the best we have. Delighted for Keegan as well after all the **** he had to put up with. Great week for him after the intermediate win. The real leader on the pitch for me and 100% team player. Keegan to lead us in 2017.

I get that it's a nice personal achievement for the players as individuals and I don't begrduge anyone their personal awards, but acting like they're some kind of last word on everything is silly. I think David Clarke is deserving of his award, but his selection is partly to do with his performances and partly to do with his 'story', imo, and I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if there's a bit of divilment in the decision to include him too, knowing that his inclusion would get people talking and to get a last dig in on the management for not picking him in the final. It's a public way of showing support for a keeper they felt was hard done by. Mossy Quinn in the Examiner even getting his two cents in now saying that the choice to include Clark in the All-Stars puts "further questions" to the Mayo management. Does it now? I feel like every question that could be asked about this issue has been asked about 10 times already. I don't know what else anyone could add that could be in any way meaningful or why we should continue to rehash the debate simply because some journalists decided they wanted to hang out with David Clarke instead of Evan Comerford or Stephen Cluxton. And just to reiterate, that is not to say that Clarke doesn't deserve his award. He's a great keeper who was at times the difference for us this year and played a crucial role for us in the championship. I hope he sticks with the football for next year, but I can respect it if he chooses not to. Matty Flanagan should be brought through from U21 as his understudy, imo. Leave the captaincy with Cillian. Unless Cillian himself doesn't want the responsibility and removes himself from the role, then I see no reason for messing about with that.
