Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[StoneHouse]

The All-Stars have had no real creditability for a long, long time. I don't understand why people are still getting worked up over them. They mean nothing except newspaper space. What counts is the All-Ireland medal.

They mean something to the players. Anyone arguing differently is an idiot

Lads it's not even Christmas and fellas here are shitting the bed over Limerick. FFS , get the turkey in the Gut and settle until mid January.

I said they were not creditable. No one said anything about how the players feel about them, but I remember some Cork player making that exact point many years ago. He said, "I have no idea where my All-Stars awards are, but I know exactly where all my All-Ireland medals are."

The All-Stars are nice but unimportant. I can tell you exactly how many All-Irelands nearly every Cork player over the last 60 years has but have no idea how many All-Srars any of them have.

I don't know where my AI medals are but I know where my Sciath Na Scoil medals are

Tks for reply ,was wondering it was the JP trope ok . Anyway for reference Jp has been sponsoring limerick in both codes now for a long time, also locally in club scene. If the gaa was looking after him surely they would have thrown us a few football all stars too . No doubt journos are influenced but they I hope have their own minds too.in my own opinion as I already said I thought quaid and hayes were nailed on to win and the other two were in contention, hegarthy was the big surprise I guess to most in limerick as many would have put aaron gillane ahead of him in performance this year.

Given some of selections and season Pa Collins had the keeper nod would have went to him in my opinion.

Hayes was quiet compared to his usual previous 4 years of winning.

Neither in my opinion were nailed on.

Hegarty himself looked shocked tbf to him and as you said a lot would have put Gillane ahead but also Hayes.

Depending on your name they would have have only looked at a semi final or final by the selection.

Correct! JP has been sponsoring Limerick a long time and he's sponsoring the GAA also to the tune of at least 32 million last year so why wouldn't they look after Limerick. If Limerick got 2 All Stars this year which you state was deserving we wouldn't even be exchanging posts on the subject. If the journalists had their own mind then they wouldn't be influenced, it's not a two way issue but it is an issue with the media regarding the GAA always, same by the way regarding RTE, Church and State.

Limerick footballers are not in the picture while they are so far away from being competitive not to mind successful.

For me North Cork states it in a nutshell regarding Limerick's preformances in Munster this year but they made history.

I have no time for the All-Stars but I believe most inter-county players would like to have at least one but the dogs on the street know the titles and medals are what it's really about. The All Stars and titles have one thing in common though as they are both politically related.

As I stated before JP and Limerick are not the problem, the G.A.A. is the problem.

Fair enough point of view ,will agree to disagree though. I will say though the all stars are always contentious ,most years there are selections that probably baffle many. I remember brian whelahan winning player of the match once in an all ireland final and he didn't win an all star and there are many others who probably should have won one and didn't over the years.
As you say yourself though the ultimate is the all ireland medal ,Mike casey has been a stalwart of the Limerick FB line for years and has never won one but I'd say he's happy with 5 all ireland medals.

The Brian Whelehan fiasco was disgraceful. The RTE Sunday Game 40th Anniversary team was another farce in leaving out the likes of JJ Delaney, John Fenton and JBM.
