Unlike any other position, there's actually a very easy way to compare the relative merits of strikers/forwards. Goals.

Cork City are top of the league and have scored more goals than anyone else. If O'Callaghan really is the most valuable player in the league - then why isn't he the top scorer......?

I'd say he's not even the most valuable forward/striker. Results speak for themselves - Farren is more valuable than he is in that position....

Maybe cos hes been playing in central midfield most of the season!!

coz he plays in midfield, rips teams appart, sets up buckets of goals, stops opposition attacks, gets opposition players sent off, and when the team at the top of the league doesnt have him in the team they suffer.

To Derry yes, but ye would need to win the league to justify him as MVP I recon.

Whats the problem??..JEALOUS?..

i remember the time when Liam Coyle was playing and Derry fans used to say how great he was and Cork City fans agreed..so less of the JEALOUSY and face the facts Georgie is streets ahead of Farren..because thats who you really want to say isnt it...

Fenn is years ahead of that kid also...

dcfcsteve...Hmmm i think Georgie is a CENTRAL MIDFIELDER all season...

he`s a failed striker then so

Based on recent goal-scoring might he be pushed back up front?

For a non-DCFC player, George would be my MVP. Weso hasn't done it this season (from what I`ve seen).

Farren & O`Callaghan are 2 completely different types of players playing in 2 different positions. Think of Farren as a John O`Flynn who scores goals. Fenn is a less committed Gary Beckett with a better tan.

Midfield Georgie is a poor mans Felix Healy & even mentioning him in the same sentance as Coyle is heresy...

Contents above to be taken with a small pinch of salt. I was trying to see if I could be as rational & even-handed as the average Cork fan

Gary Beckett as good as Fenn

...Beckett should be part of the UNITED KINGDOM diving team..or moaning team..pick..

Coyle was good on the ball but forgot sometimes that you should not stand in the same spot for the whole game..fat/lazy come to mind..Georgie can run..

And i used to think the Derry fans were tuned in..

Good to see ye have to go back a bit to get a comparison for George.
Nobody mentioned Coyle, heresy indeed, twould be like saying Patsy Freyne.

I myself would say Houlihan. Seems more commited, George blows too hot and cold as does McCourt.
I don't think George is the best player in Cork this season.
He's certainly behind Gamble and Danny Murphy in my books.

**Roo69** · 01/09/2005, 8:29 AM

Well being biased naturally i'm going to say Zayed. No one player has been more important to any team than Eamon to us. Without him this season we would be rock bottom.

and now he is gone.....?

**Krstic** · 01/09/2005, 9:23 AM

I'm going to be a bit more objective and exclude my own team.

I'd say the MVP this season for Cork, from what I've seen, has been the full-back Murphy.

But if we want to change MVP to Most Important Person, then I'll go for Stephen Kenny

Thought you would have gone for Pat Scully.....

No has to be Raf Creataro.Anyone who ever say him play will admit he is the best player in the First Division...maybe even the whole country.

**gustavo** · 01/09/2005, 10:37 AM

yeah maybe even the whole world!!
ah no i would say raf is probably in the top three players in the first division anyway.

He surely is ! Job done, has kept us up. The lad wanted to try his hand at a better league with much better money. Can't stand in his way really. Best of luck to him is what i say.

I wouldn't assume Kenny's actions in leaving a small club down the country who'd won nothing ever for a much bigger club in Dublin with real potential was wholly unexpected, or indeed is completely replicable with regards Derry City. Only time will tell Cop On, time will tell...

Just make sure yee's have finished polishing that League Cup in-time to hand it over to City or UCD in 20 days though. Don't forget to rub under the handles now....
