Great to see a Ramblers player nominated for Player of the Year. I thought it would have been Kevin Murray but Gutsie deserves his nomination too.
As for the referees listed above I wouldn't give it to any of them. Fitzgerald refereed our game vs Athlone and was awful.

4 from Ramblers on the team of the year which to me looks like a 4-4-2 line up. Delighted for Carey, Gutsie, Dav and Graham all of them deserve it I can't help feel Murray was robbed. Very surprised to see a Wexford player there. I'd say the football writers team will be completely different.
