Danny North (Sligo Rovers)

Danny’s 1st team appearance. He’s the first Englishman to appear in the team since Sligo’s Adam Hughes in 2007

The Australian Adam Hughes?

Who do you all reckon will be player of the year?Has to be Jason McGuinness for me.Quigley was brilliant for 2nd half of the season but McGuiness has been outstanding all year.Nearly every week you could say he's been a contender for man of the match,he's shown great consistency.Maybe im being biased towards Sligo Rovers players but I think he's the stand out candidate?

Ronan Finn is the player who has impressed me most this season. But I've only seen him maybe 4 or 5 times, and McGuinness 3 or 4 between live and tv games.

Is Gary Dempsey the first player to receive a place on a TotY 10 years after his first?

I was talking Finn up a lot last season but didn't get a real run of games but this season was easily Rovers' best player.
PotY has to be McGuinness.

Drogs should feel hard done by but probably was more a team effort. Didn't see them often enough to be sure but I'd be guessing Sava, Prendergast and Gavin Brennan were their best performers.

Other notables

Marty Waters and Dave McMillan (look at UCD's record since he came back)

Gary Rogers was the same. On the 2001/02 First team of the year, and the 2012 Premier team of the year. Nothing in between

I don't have stats pre 2000 but I can't imagine there'd be too many more like that.

(If anyone has the pre 2000 teams let me know)

**Charlie Darwin** · 10/11/2012, 11:21 PM

FC Dallas i think.

**Charlie Darwin** · 10/11/2012, 11:43 PM

Oh, duh, of course. I doubt he'd go there unless he got an amazing offer that couldn't be matched here.

**bullit** · 10/11/2012, 11:48 PM

Linked with Dundalk..he's on the PFAI list so hes game..

COnsidering he's leaving Sligo to be closer to home (and had previously refused a move to Doncaster for similar reasons), I think we can safely rule out Dallas

I read a quote from him a couple of weeks back where he said he wants to be closer to home but if the offer was right he'd go to Dallas, which is fair enough I suppose.

Absolutely. I happen to think the Dallas thing is no more than a bargaining tool. Not that the offer isn't real (clearly I've no reason to doubt him), but that he has no intention of leaving Ireland
