GAA fans reckon there are two All-Star snubs as Dublin and Kerry have no players included
The Football All-Star team was announced on Thursday morning and two names in particular kept being mentioned.
There were 14 All-Star debutantes as the 2024 PWC Football Team was announced on Thursday morning.
Predictably, Armagh dominated the team with six players named in the side, while All-Ireland runners-up Galway had five players included.
For the first time since 2003 no Kerry or Dublin players were named in the line up. Dublin were knocked out at the quarter-final stages while Kerry suffered an extra-time loss to Armagh in the semi-final.

And despite their narrow loss, few Kerry fans were up in arms about their exclusion but Armagh fans were vocal that they should have had a couple of players in the team.
Niall Morgan was the only non-debutante on the team after his performances for Tyrone this year, but some fans felt Blaine Hughes could have gotten the nod in goals, while others felt Aaron McKay deserved a first All-Star.
"Blaine Hughes and Aaron McKay left out is a laughable decision. Hands down the 2 best players in their position all year. Not even close," said one social media user.
"How in the name of good God has Blaine Hughes missed out on an All Star," said another.
"Can't believe Blaine Hughes didn't get the number 1 jersey and Aaron McKay not getting one - wow," said another.
The awards will be handed out on Friday evening a special ceremony at the RDS while the Hurling Team will be unveiled on the night. Barry McCambridge, Paul Conroy, and John Maher are all nominated for the Footballer of the Year award.
