**Iorfa2MaccaJim** · 15/10/2009, 12:34 PM

We are coming towards the business end of the 2009 season, and I think it is the perfect time to post this thread.

Who is YOUR Player of The Year for YOUR club.

My Blues Player of The Year would have to be Graham Cummins

Romuald Boco. The best player in this country.

**pineapple stu** · 15/10/2009, 12:36 PM

Ronan Finn. The best player in this country.

Go on Stu! Honorable mention to Sir Danny Ventre too. Richie Ryan is quality.

brian mccarthy! great defender.

**GalwayRed** · 15/10/2009, 12:42 PM

David McAllister. Hes been superb all season.

**monsexile** · 15/10/2009, 12:46 PM

Brian Gartland from what I've seen of Monaghan United and what I've heard.

On the broader, league-wide scale: Twigg will get POTY, although Cretaro is a more deserving candidate IMO. Twigg is the best natural goalscorer in the league, but Cretaro is playing in a relegation-threatened team, isn't really a striker, and is scoring heaps of goals and contributing more in general play.

I think Richard Brush and Stephen Bradley should be on the shortlist too. Brush should get 'keeper of the year, Murphy has been a bit suss this season.

Craig Sives

VERY hard to pick one. Each player for the first half of the season was hopeless. And it really has been team effort since. Having said that, I've liked Darren O'Brien and Liam Tiernan.

Dave Partridge

**sligoman** · 15/10/2009, 1:43 PM

Mauro Almeida, closely followed by Martin (AKA Jim) Nicholas Camano.

**Roo69** · 15/10/2009, 1:47 PM

Chris O'Connor, i actually think he's been the best keeper in the league this season.

I'd give it as a toss up between either skippy or chris shields. For his first season in league of Ireland football he's been exceptional and put some of the more experienced midfielders in the side to shame

**Lamper.sffc** · 15/10/2009, 2:14 PM

I think its obvious who ours is. Conan Byrne but an honourable mention must go to Alan Kirby who has pushed Conan close for player of the year IMO

**Magicme** · 15/10/2009, 2:18 PM

Agree with Monsexile about Brian Gartland. Consistently quality but so have most of our team this year so its such a tough one to call. Aaron McCarey would certainly be in there but he hasnt been playing all season whereas, Brian, bar a small injury or 2 and a few suspensions, has been a rock throughout the year. Worry whether he will be still with us next season as am sure a few clubs will be after him.

I like Brush but he is not the best keeper in the league. He had a few good games, particularly in the Bohs games recently but he's been flapping at crosses all season.
Don't get me wrong, he's a good guy and an excellent stopper but there are better keepers at Bohs and Shams this year.
He was the best in the league last year though, no doubt. I think his confidence has been eroded with our dodgy defending this campaign.
Cretaro would be my Sligo Rovers choice.
The best player I've seen from any team is Ndo but you sometimes get the feeling he could do a bit more in games.
