name your team of the decade from the premier divison in here
You could go for best team of all time but there wouldn't be too many on it playing i the last 10 yrs, maybe barry riordan, daniel power..... can't think of too many more and sure that fills up the two striker spots.
Better off id say keeping it to the last decade, still thinking who id have but i definetly couldn't look past those two for the up front spots......
what about paul ruttle and paul lynch who played with rathkeale probably the 2 best players to ply in the desmond league.
1. Ollie Byrnes (Rathkeale)
2. Noel Murphy (NCW)
3.
4. John Kelleher (Abbeyfeale)
5. Anthony O Donnell (Creeves/NCW)
6. Paul Ruttle (Rathkeale)
7.
8. Gary Egan (Broadford)
9. Daniel Power (NCW)
10. Barry Riordan (Rathkeale)
11.
Manager: Gerry Cronin. Has to have won the most trophies in the past 10 yrs as a manager
Was going to put shaughnessy from Rathkeale in defence but i just think Kelleher has probably done a bit more.
Finding it hard to add a few more to the places above. Could do with a hand. Or am i totally wrong. Anyone agree or disagree?
1.ollie byrnes (rathkeale)
2.noel murphy (newcastle west)
3.mark doherty (newcastle west)
4.antony o donnell (creeves/ncw)
5.john kelleher (abbeyfeale)
6.paul ruttle (rathkeale)
7.gary egan (broadford)
8.tossie butler (knockaderry/ncw)
9.daniel power (newcastle west)
10.barry riordan (rathkeale)
11.??????????
im stuck for a winger..cnt really think of one
1. Ollie Byrnes (Rathkeale)
2. Noel Murphy (NCW)
3. Chris Ronan(Rathkeale)
4. John Kelleher (Abbeyfeale)
5. Anthony O Donnell (Creeves/NCW)
6. Paul Ruttle (Rathkeale)
7. Kierian McMahon (kildimo)
8. Gary Egan (Broadford)
9. Daniel Power (NCW)
10. Barry Riordan (Rathkeale)
11.Declan Nash(Rathkeale)
Wouldn't agree with No.11, I'm struggling myself to think of a winger but I'd put Alan O'Shea (Rathkeale) in before Declan Nash in my opinion
1. Billy Quirke
2. Mark Culhane
3. Mark Doherty
4. Barry Culhane
5. Peter O'Dea
6. Paul Ruttle
7. Kieran McMahon
8. Tossy Butler
9. Dennis Kelly
10. Barry O Riordan
11. Daniel Power
Is Power classed as a winger or striker? Always thought he was a striker myself
Probably a striker but played on the wing on occassions, he is good enough to be on that team but i feel the 2 strikers at 9 and 10 have been the best over the last ten years.
Mike Clancy from broadford could be a contender for full back also i think, even though he was probably more of a centre half for most of the time.
Some Lads dont play consistently in one position for a club, like centre mid or centre half or full back.....depending on a day or season some players might have played in 2 positions, 50/50
There is some serious politics going on here lads. Did Ballingarry not win two leagues in the last decade, yet no one has named any of their players. Did Broadford not have more players than anyone else on the successful Desmond league team, yet I only see one Broadford player, Paul Lynch from Rathkeale, probably Rathkeales best player ever, Seamus O'Donnell former league of Ireland player, JJ Murphy, Dinny Scollard and Mikey Clancy, 3 of Broadfords best players ever, not mentioned and yet some very very average players seem to make some lads selections. If you cant remember back to the start of the decade you shouldnt name an eleven
1. Seamus O'Donnell
2. John Kelliher
3. Daragh O'Grady
4. Noel Murphy
5. Mikey Clancy
6. Tommy Butler
7. Gary Egan
8. Dinny Scollard
9. Paul Lynch
10.Ray Lynch
11.Daniel Power
If everybody named their own clubs team of the decade then it would be easier for everyone to name the league team of the decade
You are missing the point, If people name the best players from their own club, then people can make an educated attempt at naming the best players in the league for the decade. Could you even name the premier league teams from the first five or six years of the decade, never mind some of their players which may be worthy being named in a league team of the decade
Well I had dennis kelly up front in my team and I did name Mike Clancy in a later post, I remember playing against Dinny and Seamus and yes they should be considered. I know JJ but dont remember playing against him.
Everyone will be different in choosing players, you might rate a player that someone else dosent, or might remember a player that someone else cant.
