Richie Ryan (Sligo Rovers)
Stephen Rice (Shamrock Rovers)
Killian Brennan (Bohemians)

Gary Rogers (St pat's Ath)
Enda Stevens (Shamrock Rovers)
Ger O'Brien (Bohemians)
Billy Dennehy (Shamrock Rovers)

The entire Galway team.

Pat Sullivan (Shamrock Rovers)
Craig Sives (Shamrock Rovers)
Gavin Peers (Sligo Rovers)

Stephen Rice (Shamrock Rovers)
Eoin Doyle (Sligo Rovers)
Mark Quigley (Dundalk)

Players who maybe deserved a place aswell -Derek Pender, Evan McMillan, Gary Dempsey, Gareth McGlynn, Gary Twigg, Karl Sheppard. Maybe if they stayed here for the whole season Daniel Kearns and James McClean would have been included.

McCormack
Rice

McLaughlin

North
Twigg

Doherty

Sullivan
Peers
Murray

Just to fit in with everyone elses tactics I am going to try to shoehorn in as many of my teams players as possible
Gary Rogers (St Pat's Ath)

Pat Sullivan (Shamrock Rovers)
Craig Sives (Shamrock Rovers)
Dan Murray (Shamrock Rovers)
Enda Stevens (Shamrock Rovers)

Gary McCabe (Shamrock Rovers)
Ronan Finn (Shamrock Rovers)
Conor McCormack (Shamrock Rovers)
Billy Dennehy (Shamrock Rovers)

Eamon Zayed (Derry City)
Eoin Doyle (Sligo Rovers)

:roll:

Gerard Doherty (Derry City)

Pat Sullivan (Shamrock Rovers)
Craig Sives (Shamrock Rovers)
Gavin Peers (Sligo Rovers)
Enda Stevens (Shamrock Rovers)

Richie Ryan (Sligo Rovers)
Stephen Rice (Shamrock Rovers)
Gary Dempsey (Bray)

Daryl Kavangh (St Pat's Ath)
Eamon Zayed (Derry City)
Eoin Doyle (Sligo Rovers)

has Brennan really done that much to justify being in team of the year ? Surprised North isnt in more teams, obviously i am probably slightly biased, but he has had a great season

Plus Zayed is fat as **** and useless every time i have seen him and offers **** all ......... top scorer or not

Think Sullivan is being voted in for one goal

Some players have really tailed off after brilliant starts too (Dempsey, North). Others get in by defailt (Stevens - not that good, but a good bit better than his peers)

Others started off poorly (by their standards) and came on strong at the end (Richie Ryan)

Brendan Clarke

Pat Sullivan
Enda Stevens
Dan Murray
Gavin Peers

Stephen Rice
Conor McCormack
Joseph Ndo

Danny North
Eoin Doyle
James McClean

Few players who'd sub in there pretty easily: McCabe, Kavanagh, Zayed, Oman, Quigley, Kearns. I've only seen Bray once this season and I feel like I might have more of their players in there if I'd seen more of them.

Jason McGuiness should be in the team of the year. In fact all of rovers back 5, clarke, keane, mcguiness, peers, davoren.

Thompson

Browne McGuinness Collins Walsh

Marshall Rice Ventre Corry Doyle (Pat's)

Caldwell

Hard to know who'll get POTY but I'm sure it'll be between Sullivan for his goal in Belgrade and Twigg/Zayed for their goals.

SHould point out that I think he's the best in the league but this year he hasn't been at the same level as the past 2

Is your view a little tainted for any reason? ;)

Very surprised McGuinness isn't in a lot more teams instead of Peers. He's the number one reason we've conceded so few goals.

bizarrely Marino Bohs I agree with your selection-people will talk.
i wouldnt include finn on the bench tho , unless its for biggest letdown.

i'd also say that young lad off bohs, forrester looks a real player for the future.

On the most simplistic of levels:

Last season (without McGuinness) Sligo conceded 36 goals, this season (with him) they've let in 17.
