Gartlan or Benson should have got MOTM i agree.
Maybe he got player of the month for Oct & Nov because in our last 6 games
He was best player on field V Bohs,
2 assists V Sligo,
1 Assist V Waterford
Set up the league clinching goal V pats.
He also scored a wonder goal in the semi final V UCD to get us to the cup final.
Scored cup final winner
Do you need any more reasons?
He admitted himself he was poor enough in the final. Giving him POTM for November when that game was the only one seems silly. We've typically seen a different man of the match and player of the month for the cup final/November in recent years. MOTM is given in the moment and there's high emotion involved. That and the people picking MOTM are not generally the brightest. The writers have plenty of time to think about who is most deserving for the POTM and that usually is telling.

I've vague memories of McNulty getting the Nov award possibly in 2016 when he also didn't get man of the match in the cup final, possibly Rogers got it for the game? I'd agree totally on McEleney shouild not have got man of the match for the final (he did def admit this himself), Benson was the best player on the pitch for me, saving his best game until the last match, Morrissey would have been in the running too before he came off injured.

McNulty won it in 2017, Benno in 2016, Towell in 2015. All just for November. I didnt' realise this was for Oct/Nov. That makes more sense that issuing an award for just November as has happened in the past.

I'm sure if I spent the time I could find match reports giving the Men of the Matches. Mans of the Match? Mans of the Matches?
Up to 2017 the award was specifically for November and by extension just for the Cup final. It appears they made a change for 2018, I welcome that change but was unaware that they had made this change for this year until it was pointed out.
Also, if you think this was a rant you should hear me talk at length about Ger Doherty!
