It's Ryan Wylie who was nominated and not Drew.

It is definitely u21 for YPOTY. Sure Kilkenny and Jack Mc would still qualify if it was u23. Thus Fenton is overage for it.

Sorry Ryan

It is u23, take that as fact. He was eligible, yes Kilkenny & McCaffrey would be eligible for it.

Gerlad · 01-10-2015 10:41AM

We'll agree to disagree - I know for a fact its u21 - you had to be eligible to play in the u21 championship this year. The nominees would also back this up.

you're 100% correct in this. You have to have been U21 in the year of the award. I'm not sure why every year this confusion keeps being brought up.

I just read that McMahon is appealing the eye gouge ban. What is that all about?

DoctaDee · 01-10-2015 11:12AM

Smashing achievement to have all 3 POTY nominees also. BB Philly and Jack Mc

Slattsy · 01-10-2015 12:20PM

Would love to see Philly get it.

EICVD · 01-10-2015 02:13PM

Would love to see Philly win it too, apart from the fact he deserves it seeing everyone go mad at him winning it will be fun.

Fenton never made young player of the year shortlist??

Regardless, he might get an all star, apart from some of us who hoped he'd maintain his progress who'd have thought we'd have a potential all star at midfield.
So many under 21s have faded as championships move towards finals, but this guy did the opposite, looked like carthy had his spot, possibly sixth choice midfielder at the start of the league to possibly Dublins best midfielder at the end of the championship.
I still think Bastic was more important to us though, I know I'm outside the general thinking in that regard.

ProudDUB · 02-10-2015 11:10PM

I agree. Basticks importance will only be rated once he is gone, or is no longer an option to bring off the bench, if things are going pear shaped around the middle. Also love how seamlessly he and Cian operate together. When Cian drops back to sweep, Dennis moves back into the half back line & gives an added defensive solidity there, that you just don't get with MDMA.

MDMA was in good club form tonight, scored a couple, set up a couple, played the ball in that ended up as a penno.

Fenton didn't play for raheney either.

You don't happen to have the lineups from that match do you?

ProudDUB · 02-10-2015 11:49PM

EnergyBlaster, the line ups from both games are here

Fenton picked up a knock at the end of the AI final, didn't he? Raheny could have done with him tonight. SOPER only won by 5 & it was a tight enough affair until the last 10 minutes. I think they were expected to win by a lot more. Ross McConnell hoovered up a lot of ball in midfield, that he probably wouldn't have got to if young Fenton was around to keep him honest. Would have offered up more of a scoring threat too, as Raheny kicked a lot of really terrible wides. Left before half time of the second game. For some reason, my brain just can't quite remember that the first game back at PP, under the lights, is always bloody freezing !

Can't wait for tomorrows BK v Vincents game. Talk about a cracker.

Teams named here too

corny · 03-10-2015 02:15AM

McCauley had a few nice touches alright but i wasn't that impressed with him jogging around for long stretches. O' Mahony put in some shift on the cover for him. Thought the Boden half back line were excellent.

Looking forward to tomorrow too. Should be another close one.

ProudDUB · 03-10-2015 10:22PM

Surpisingly tame affair at PP this evening, considering all the hype surrounding the fixture. It was close enough in the first half, but BK handed Vincents so many handy frees on a platter, you'd wonder how they'd do against a more disciplined team. But they really pulled away in the second half, with some really exceptional point taking. Nathan Mullins the Man of the Match....even has the long flowing blondy hair, just like his Da. It's hard to see past them for the 3 in a row.

The draw for the quarters is out. Boden v Plunkets being the pick of the bunch for me. Judes v Na Fianna should be a crackers too. Cooper v Kev Mc. Have at it lads !

'Boden v SOPER
Vincents v Lucan
St Anne's v Clontarf
Na Fianna v Jude's

Stoner · 03-10-2015 11:55PM

Didn't make it tonight ProudDub with a 3 month old I dont get double double headers on weekends anymore.

Did McCarthy play well. It seems BK struggle for forwards, mossy is still popping them over the bar too.

Would have been shouting for BK if I was there, I always pick a side.
BK underachieving at club level recently, they've plenty of good footballers.

ProudDUB · 04-10-2015 12:07AM

None of the established BK inter county lads really shone to be honest. Small was undoubtedly the best of the bunch. McCarthy spent more time in midfield, than he would for the Dubs & and its not the position that he's really made for.

corny · 04-10-2015 01:03AM

There's a slickness about Vincents thats going to be hard to match. You could do worse than lump on at 4/5 imo.

corny · 05-10-2015 11:38AM

Ger Brennan calls it a day

Not a shock but still.

He wasn't universally liked as an inter county player but i have to say he was always one of favourite players to watch.

seanhynes · 05-10-2015 12:16PM

i see Ger Brennan has called time on his intercounty career

Sorry didnt see your post above Corny,boards site playing up lately

EICVD · 05-10-2015 12:38PM

Saw 2 of our younger panelists on Saturday evening in the 'B'. Costello was definitley better in the 2nd half when he came out looking for the ball, kicked a few nice points. He didn't do a thing in the first half at 14 but our lad done well on him. Eric Lowndes did his job at 6 without getting too involved, never does unless things are getting tough for us.

Stoner · 05-10-2015 12:53PM

Ger Brennan retired. Good luck and thanks to him. Great game in the final in 2013 his highlight for me.
We'll miss him, a lot of the more physical players have left the panel since 2011.
Corny and I will need to find something else to disagree about now.

ProudDUB · 05-10-2015 01:54PM

Third day in a row now that Boards is gobbling up posts, pages are disappearing & Error 404 messages.

Do the powers that be not realize that the Footballer of the Year gong isn't handed out for another month yet? Lads, take yer finger of the red button. Be grand shure....

Great guys

Thanks

Not a Dublin man but happened to drop into the game between Vincents and Ballymun the other day.

I came away with one thought - does Diarmuid Connolly play at 100% - I'm not saying that in a bad way but I think he does things with such ease that it almost looks like he has another gear and if he has it'll be something to watch if he clicks into top gear!
