Schumi add a poll please. And leave out Shorthall, add Quigley.

For me this season Kenna, Ally Mc, Dicker and Sammon have stood head and shoulders above anyone else in the team. It's close between Sammon or Kenna, but my vote goes marginally to Sammon.

Tony Mac's importance is sometimes best illustrated by how poor UCD perform when he is missing through injury.

Hard to choose between Kenna and Ally Mac. Both have been excellent in defence this season.

Conor Kenna's versatility, may lose him some votes. Even though I think it is a strength.

Conor Kenna by a distance, I think.

But I voted Tony Mac.

It's player of the season, not man of the match. Alan McNally has been a rock this season.

Yes and not performing against the Champions Elect which too many of the team have done repeatedly this season swung it for me. Conor Kenna has not bottled it in big games this season. :cool:

None of our players are bottlers. Are league games are of relatively equal importance whether it be Shels or Bray there's 3 points on the table. While Shels are arguably the best team in the country they're hardly going to have players quaking in their boots. McNally and Kenna have both combined to form one of the top central defensive partnerships in the country and both of them should be commended. We'd be doing very well to retain that partnership for next season.

Ah so what you are saying is the Tolka Park result (0-6) , was because UCD battled? It didn't look like it on the highlights. And for the record I missed the game because I was out of the country.

We lost because we were outclassed by the best team in the country. Is that concept difficult for you to understand?

No not at all , we were abjectly sh1te into the bargain.
And we do not lose 6-0 often to Shelbourne which more or less proves my point. Defensively we were absolutely abysmal.
Darren Quigley has kept 12 clean sheets for chrissakes! So losing 6-0 is not normal.
St. Joseph's Boys Sallynoggin Under 14's would have beaten us the way we defended that night!

If you're being ****ed on you should at least send one of the opponents off the pitch early. That to me means not trying.

The only time we have played against anyone and lost 6-0 where we actually played reasonably well was in 1991 in a pre-season friendly against Banik Ostrava in Belfield Park. The Czech side outclassed us, but at least they knew they had been in a game. We created a couple of chances and probably should have got one goal on that occasion.
That year we were a First Division side and won the Shield that season and came 4th.

I don't accept that sort of performance from UCD in the same way that the Republic of Ireland's performance against Cyprus was unacceptable.

UCD did try in that game. We were with Shels all the way in the first half and played quite well. Some of the passing in that first half was as nice as I've seen this season. Unfortunately in the second half they blew us away with their superior quality. You also mention Darren Quigley's clean sheet record. Unfortunately for Darren he had a bad game that night. He conceded a weakish free kick from Jason Byrne and a 25 yard twisting with back to goal volley from Glen Crowe. It just went badly that night. We still tried to mount attacks even when we were losing heavily. Everyone tried but you just have days like that, especially with a young inexperienced squad.

All personal abuse removed, cop on all concerned please! You were both at fault so I'm not interested in any complaining about deleting those posts.



CTID are you seriously suggesting that we should have tried to injure Shels players when we were getting hammered in Tolka? Should Bray have done that to us when we beat them 4-0 a few weeks ago?

Some of ye would want to take the Tony Mac rose tinted glasses off. A midfielder who has not scored goals this season and he gets your vote for player of the season (albeit he's filled in at the back).

Has he been as effective as other players like Sammon. Hell No.

Methinks there's a Tony Mac conspiracy underfoot, as outlined in my post. ;)
Aberdonian Stu
24/10/2006, 1:25 PM
Yes there is a hint of the "it's about damn time he got it" view in the posts. I wouldn't begrudge him. I reckon Conor Kenna has been the least ineffective player in the first team(that is as close as I will get to a compliment until ye start ponying up the dough for charity).

I saw the lowlights on EL Weekly and the defending in the second half was woeful atrocious what other words do you want?
pineapple, we have failed to score in 16 League games this season, we don't do goalscoring, but we normally defend well it's our forte at Belfield. Illustrated by the fact that despite shipping 6 in that game and 2 last week we still have a goals against average around 1 per game.

As regards the first goal in last week's home game against Shels, yes Quigley should have punted the ball downfield but I wasn't suggesting he was player of the year at any stage.

Just to go back to this, you decided not to vote Allie Mac (and also Darren Quigley) because they had a game - two tops - where they made errors?

By that logic, Conor Kenna conceded a penalty in Derry, so I don't see how you can vote for him.

That doesn't prove anything. You can't be selective about the games you use. The fact is we've conceded 25 goals(which is still excellent). Yes the Shels game was a freak result but there's a reason why and that's reflected in the goals against column.

Lads the worst goal scoring record and your giving it to a centre forward, you stundents have such a good sence of humour......
There's a lot more to being a striker than scoring goals.

I voted for Dicker because I think he is your best player, the only thing that stoped me going for Kenna was his distribution, it is bad at times plus i taught Dicker should have got it last year. This year or the latter part of this year Kenna has dug in, he did get dropped at tthe start of the season if i remember rightly.

Nope. He was injured against Bray and missed a couple of games this year. Dicker, however, was dropped for a few games at the start of the year.

:eek: No way..... me knows nothing:confused: I guess i need to go to more of your games. Anyway I still think Dicker is the better player, but really it should go to a defender because UCD just cant score.... ohhh and how many shapes does Sammon throw in a game. He not a bad player but I dont know how you could even say he is player of the year. Its plain and simple a centre forward is meant to score goals and he doesn't .

He's our top scorer, and when you compare his record with the rest of the league's strikers it isn't too bad. He should have more goals, but you can't expect him to put away every chance.

It's player of the year, not goalscorer of the year.
