Of the three nominated goals, Wes assisted 2 of them with brilliant passes and scored one, and yet he doesn't make the list of nominees for player of the year

Baffles me, thought I accept awards ceremonies are a big load of muckology

Coleman POTY
Brady YPOTY

Close call between McClean and Brady for Goal of the Year IMO

Wouldnt disagree with either of them, however Wes should have made the shortlist for POTY in terms of contribution to goals in crucial matches.

McClean's goal is the pick of the bunch for me.. the cleanest counter attack I've ever seen from Ireland I think.. a real footballing goal..

Agree it was definitely the nicest goal, but I just thought that Brady's goal will win because it put us through to the knockout rounds

For those thinking Brady's should win (not those thinking it will but that it maybe shouldn't): Switch the goals and there is no doubt that McClean's wins goal of the year.

McClean's was the better goal. Good play out of defense, excellent awareness by Wes, a super pass and an excellent finish.

Brady's was a good ball into the box and a deft header past a foolishly onrushing keeper, but it wasn't goal of the year. Wes's v Sweden was technically superior to it.

McClean's has to be goal of the year.

I'd give Brady POTY & YPOTY. 

And while his goal wasn't the best in terms of pure quality, both McClean's & Hoolahan's were better, it had everything else- importance, timing, etc.

Coleman POTY 
Hendrick YPOTY. Had an absolutely massive impact at the Euros, even if it cant be quantified in goals like Brady's, and was our player of the tournament. Both him and Brady had post-Euros dips in form but Hendrick edges it for me
Brady v Italy goal of the year. Wes v Sweden and McClean v Austria were technically better goals but that one gets it simply because of how absolutely massive it was.

Wes is not on the 3 man shortlist because Coleman, Brady and Hendrick deserve to be ahead of him. If you were making room for one more player it'd be McClean.

Coleman absolutely POTY in my opinion. Brady or possibly Hendrick for YPOTY but Brady edges it. Wes goal vs Sweden I thought was the best of the three.

I thought YPOTY was U23?
Both Henderick and Brady are 25 since Januray!

POTY Coleman. 

Going to go against the majority & vote for the best technical goal of the year, which was Wes V Sweden.

Brady YPOTY, mainly because he will lose out on the other 2 awards (not saying he will lose out on either, he could well get all 3, only me own opinion here)
