THE RACE TO land Young Footballer of the Year tonight is expected to be a two-horse race between Kerry’s David Clifford and Dublin star Brian Howard.
Michael McKernan enjoyed a fine breakthrough campaign with Tyrone and made it all the way to the All-Ireland final, but Clifford and Howard were on a different level this season.
Howard is two years older than Clifford but was outstanding on the half-forward line during his debut season for Dublin, while David Clifford finished as second top-scorer from play in the All-Ireland SFC with 3-15 to his name in five games.
Who should claim the prize?
Poll Results:
David Clifford (1618)
Brian Howard (1362)
Michael McKernan (91)

I like GAA too! If only I cold find a way to wriggle out of my PAYE obligations, I could then throw out a bit of the cash I’d save to my pet sport and everyone would say I’m a great fella.
@Hibernicus: There’s always one who has nothing good to say.
@Richard Ford: You misunderstood, I am inspired & keen to emulate the great man!
@Hibernicus: the man owns and runs a Swiss based company where he is clearly doing pretty well. This is also where he pays tax. I appreciate that might be a difficult concept to wrap your head around when you’ve likely spent your life in the one village.
@Hibernicus: . Well then please do your very best to do so. All donations gratefully accepted Hibernicus.
@Hibernicus: typical
@Paul Odeier: succinct!
@Hibernicus:you come across as a great fella.revenue are crying out for great fellas
As I said to Shane below, we are a tax haven. Tax avoidance is the way of the world. We gratefully accept multiple billions from corporations who base their headquarters here to avoid tax. We can’t have it both ways. People be careful not to fall off their high horses.
Fantastic balanced journalism from the headline down, exactly why I decided to pay for a subscription.
I look forward to the day when I can stop paying tax like all the smart people and donate an iPad to the club raffle for a gushing write-up in the local paper.
@Shane Griffin: When are you expecting to become one of the smart people?
@Shane Griffin: how do you feel about the fact that Ireland is a tax haven? Do you think we should send back the multiple billions we receive from tax dodging corporations every year???
