Who gets your vote?

**Acornvilla** · 28/10/2009, 9:05 PM

good man making the poll

brin mccarthy all the way. we are so frail defencivly when he dosent play. hope to god we keep him next season along with tom king

Murphy, Lee and Curran should never be shortlisted. Jason McCartney should be on the list as he's been quietly reliable. Glynn's only scored 10 in about 30 appearances in a division he should be scoring a lot more in. Only McCarthy and King are contenders although King has faded slightly as the season wore on. McCarthy gets my vote then.

A bit harsh on Curren and Lee?

Anyway, McCarthy!

I wouldn't have shortlisted Curran as he hasn't played enough, he has been in and out but has performed when he has been in the team recently.

McCarthy has been pretty good all season no doubt, but his 4 red cards would count against him when making my mind up.
Even excluding that i'd rate King a better player.

McCarthy gets the nod here..

mccarthy has saved goals and results by getting himself sent off for the good of the team.. made a great save against shells about two months ago

and also considering how little the manager plays glynn his goal scoring record is pretty acceptable

**Longfordian** · 29/10/2009, 4:25 PM

Wouldn't give it to Glynn because he has the ability to do a lot more than he has done, even though he's done well. He looked as if he was playing at 75% effort a lot of the time. McCarthy was the most consistent I think overall though in all honesty I've missed a good few games this year between one thing and another. Tom King has been very good too though.

**Acornvilla** · 29/10/2009, 4:32 PM

oh yea glynn frustrates the hell out of me he could be a 20 gols a season srtiker if he got his finger out. i suppose he dosent have much support up there thou

Saved one goal that got us anything!
Got himself suspended for 6 games that i can think off.

ah yea i agree i would rather he wasnt sent off hope we still have him there next year thou. and our other poor p[layers often put him in the postion that he had to make tackles

**Martinho II** · 30/10/2009, 4:01 PM

i very much doubt that Brian McCarthy would stay I would think that Pat Fenlon will put him in his squad as Owen Hearys increasingly injury prone..

**Pauro 76** · 10/11/2009, 11:51 AM

Poll open for another two weeks, probably should have ended it earlier, but ah still time for voting...

Lads,

I only seen approx 6 of your matches!!

I live in Athlone but love soccer thus travel a lot to Longford when Athlone away!!

I agree with Brian McCarthy as apart from his Red Cards is a Top Defender & you will do well to hod on to him!!

I train in Athlone and seen Longford training on a regular basis.
I must say your standard of training improved dramatically when you changed Manager!!

Cronin looks a good manager!!

Cheers...
