Did these three vote for themselves a few dozen times, or are footballers really as stupid as everyone says?
Also announced were the various nominees for the player of the year awards.
Player of the year nominees
Jason Byrne, Owen Heary, Jamie Harris (Shelbourne)
Kevin Doyle (Cork City)
Declan O'Brien (Drogheda United)
Gary O'Neill (Dublin City, now Shelbourne)
Young player of the year nominees
Sean Dillon (Longford Town)
Liam Kearney (Cork City)
Daryl Murphy (Waterford United.)
First Division player of the year nominees
Kevin McHugh (Finn Harps)
Willie Doyle (UCD, now Waterford United)
Trevor Vaughan (Dundalk, now Dublin City)
As pleased as I am for Nailer (earning a player of the year nomination in a relegated team is some feat), I can't understand how Murphy failed to get nominated for the main prize. Hard to look beyond Heary for the POTY award. Murphy and McHugh will pick up the other two.
