Dubs’ emergence rightly framed with 10 nominees

IT’S in the nature of the GAA beast to get all post-modern when it comes to All Star nominations: what’s not in the text, hidden codes, all that jazz.

It’s like we can’t help ourselves. Correction: it’s not like that. It’s exactly that.

There aren’t too many grounds for complaint in the nominations served up yesterday. About the only notable omission was Eddie Brennan, who could point to a fairly significant intervention in the All-Ireland final – that dash down the middle and handpass to Richie Hogan for the crucial goal.
