Senior Player: I can't see how Damien could win this award, a poor year for him. Nor indeed Doyle with a handful of caps. For the first time in years no outfield player can make even a reasonably compelling case - just goes to show what a bad year it has been for Irish foot.ie.

Dick Dunne should have been in the running, don't know how Duff even got nominated..

Doyle for young player.

[Saint Tom]

dufff has been horrendous, how can he even be considered?

[eirebhoy]

tbf, if it's judged on internaional performances (which I assume it is?) Duff has as much right to be there as anyone really.

[Paddy Garcia]

Dick Dunne should have been in the running, don't know how Duff even got nominated..

I agree Dunne for me - with no midfield in most games he (& his defensive colleagues) has had to do an awful lot of defending.

gotta be shay...duff's done ok but doesn't deserve it...doyles hasn't played enough...
