Brian Murphy for goalkeeper anyway, that's a given.
What's 'Personality of the year'...is it actually based on personality or is that just a fancy name for something else?

I am also curious to know this.
I'd think it goes for actual personality but the nominees are a bit odd. Cook and Heary aside, the list doesn't strike me as full of people with interesting personalities.

I think it's just the only title they could think of to include players and managers...they could have gone with man of the year but probably wanted to avoid the slim chance of their ever being a female manager.
If its pure personality which I don't think it is, Cook would deffo get it for his interviews, but Heary is catching up with his quips about Roddy and his constant cuts at Sean Connor.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
If it was an online poll then only people connected to Bohs would win.
My choice would be
Murphy and Cooke from that shortlist.
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
I assume its the journalists that vote for it.
What newspapers are involved? Considering the poor extent of coverage of the LOI, how can a newspaper vote for somting they know little about. Its not like they write loads about it week in week out.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

Pat Fenlon is obviously going to win.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I am!

is there a cash prize?

5-0
Heary and personality in the same sentence
Strange choice. I thought Nutsy was nailed on, and both Murphy and Fahey could've made arguments.

Ha ha ha!!!...Hibs4Ever...I certainly have to agree...Heary has the personality of a fish floating down the Shannon..........surely Cook should have gotten it but then again the Dublin Media Mafia must have taken things over!
Why must Cook "surely" have got it?

Fahey didn't attend so that ruled him out. Was always going to be a Bohs winner considering the number of gypo journos around
