Is there such a thing? and who is likely to make it this year?
Don't know if there is such a thing but there wouldn't be too many of ours in contention except maybe Gallagher in goals.
There is one yep. Not sure when it comes out.
Paul Shiels should be a cert.
Tommy Barrett has to be in there.
From Athlone Colm Jinks, Nigel Keady and Ciaran Kelly would be the only ones in contention
I think the PFAI were the only ones to announce a first division team of the season last year. Conor Sinnott was in it for the Youths and would be a good shout again this year.
Cassidy, Flano, Crowley and maybe whelehan shoiuld be in it from our lot. I'd go with Holden in goals, Flanagan, Whelehan, Breen, Hedderman, Barrett, Cassidy, Crowley, C. Byrne, Doyle, Sullivan.
Hedderman? Don't make me laugh, as someone said about him the other night he runs like he's running down the stairs. He's brutal.
From us Flood, Brennan, Delaney, Rutherford maybe McGill and McCallister too.
McCabe hasnt played enough in my opinion to be in a team of the season. Id defo have Rutherford in though from Shels, maybe Flood. From the parts of the season I can remeber.
I tell you what - patsy malone of the youths deserves to be in it
He would actually be a contender for first division player of the year
Robbie doyle, Conan Byrne and Colm james from our lot.
Im not too happy about putting Doyle in but cant argue with the amount of goals he has scored.
Nice to see someone mention Breener, but if I was to pick three from our lot, it would be Holden, Clarke and Foley.
So something like this wouldn't be a bad side:
Packie Holden (Wat)
John Flanagan (Dun), Ben Whelehan (Dun), Damien Brennan (Shels), Robbie Clarke (Wat)
Tommy Barrett (Lim), David Cassidy (Dun), Colm James (SF), Michael Foley (Wat)
Conan Byrne (SF), Anto Flood (Shels)
Subs: Nigel Keady (Ath), Patsy Malone (Wex), Paul Shiels (Dun), Mark Rutherford (Shels), Robbie Doyle (SF)
Edit: Feck it, I'll take a chance on no sub keeper to get Malone in there, he has been great also. Deano wouldn't have been happy warming the bench anyway! :D
Talent and ability-wise he'd be a cert, but for me he just wasn't quite as good this year as previously. Couple of horrible games, few daft penalties given away etc.. etc.. If I was picking 4 he'd be there alright.
Tommy Legend
Wayne Colbert
Jason Hughes
Gary Sheehan
Davey Ryan (The small one.)
Would all be there or there abouts from Limerick.
Haven't really seen enough of the other clubs to make a fair comment.
Colin James with Fingal really impressed me alright.
Is Packie Holden really doing that well? :eek:
to be honest Malone would be our only realistic chance of getting on the team
He has been fairly impressive again, still looks very raw at times though. Anto Russell should also be considered, very assured at the back and capable of stepping into midfield too. Johnny Flynn O'Connor was also having a very good season before he got kicked out, he was our second best player in the cup final behind Sinnott. I'd be surprised if Sinnott, Malone and possibly Russell didn't get some sort of offers from other teams this year. Danny Furlong had made a bit of an impression recently too so maybe one of the full time clubs might look at signing him for their reserve sides.
Kennedy
Flanagan Brennan Barrett Crawley
Byrne James Cassidy Foley
Doyle Flood
