Seamie Coleman gets U-21 and U-23 call up's praise in every paper and TV programme yet not good enough to be nominated in the player or young player of the year nominees!!

Is he a better player than the 3 nominated?
Quigley's the best striker in the country. McGinn's been called up to the full NI squad. O'Shea is in the same u21 and u23 squads as Coleman.
Fine player though
He made team of the season though so well done Seamie

The difference for me is the Seamie has been consistantly excellent throughout the season.Quote:

It may also be argued that Quigley (a player I highly rate) has gone a bit quiet, in tandem with Pat's performances lately.
This award should be judged throughout the season, and in my opinion Seamie should have received a nomination.:mad:

As was said above, O'Shea should not be in there.
Peers an Raf have being Rovers best players consistantly this season, Seamie is about 3rd
Average the first half of the season and good the second half
Just being honest about it
Fahy is the best player in the league this year from what i have seen
On a side note, Jason McGUINNESS is one of the worst defenders in the league. Hoofer, slow, average in the air...all the things that make you an average to bad centre halve, he has in abundance
Peers and Raf don't qualify for young player of the season. Do you think Coleman deserves an nomination?Quote:

To me its as simple as this....
Seamie made the team of the Year O'Shea didn't (different positions I know but there are three striker positions available given Quigley, Crowe & Brennan are all in the team of the year that O'Shea could have got if he is soooooo good).
Also as has been mentioned by others O'Shea has only played the last ten games yet seamie is left out in the cold for the U21 nominations.
Joke.
its not an U21 award.Quote:

You answered yourself. The play in differing positions. Also Killian brennan plays left wing. occassionally right wong, but rarely up front.Quote:

Seriously, you should let this go
agreed, plus O Shea has only caught the eye of non-Galway fans in last 3rd of season, (as good as he is), Seamie was in the limelight since March.Quote:

So you're saying the players knew beforehand? Fair enough if so, took you the wrong way

If Gavin Peers is too old for selection in the Young player category at 22 (he was 23 yesterday ) I think it is safe to say the award is for U21 or how do you define young player of the year age group ?
Seamie has been called up several times and played by the Irish U21's at various times throughout this season so any idea of him not being consistent enough all season doesnt wash with me or with Don Givens and the U21 set up.
Well Mark Quigley just turned 23 and he's nominated. He was 22 last year when he won it. Once again, please check your facts before getting all precious when someone dares to question you...Quote:

Showgies said Peers was too old for the award at 23 and I took his work for it.
I asked did anyone know what age the award was for as nobody, including yourself, seems to know as nobody responded.
Again as regards consistency it was a general comment by me that I felt he was consistent where others on this thread such as Shedzer and comments in other threads on this SLIGO ROVERS FORUM said he wasnt........its not all about you ya know!!
GO TO YOUR HOME
Dodge is gone awful quiet ?????

There's no doubt O'Shea looks a quality player(never thought i'd say those words),but over the course of the season Coleman most definately deserved at least a nomination,and should have been way ahead of o'shea in the pecking order.It would be between him and quigley who is also a very good player though i wouldnt call him the best in the league he has a lot of quiet nights.well done to seamus making the team of the season
