3 All-Irelands in a row. There's not much that can knock the Dubs off their perch at the moment. Tonight, they deservedly won 7 All-Stars, but not everyone in Dublin is happy with the results.
In particular, a Dublin player missed out on the Footballer of the Year award for the second year in a row after Andy Moran picked up the honour. Also, despite a great season, and captaining his county to an All-Ireland title for the 4th time, Stephen Cluxton has missed out again. The Parnells man now hasn't won an All-Star since 2013.
Many Dublin fans, and even some journalists aren't too happy with the perceived snubs. Even one former Dublin footballer couldn't hide his shock.
Cluxton didn't get selected as All Star keeper?! #PwcAllStars pic.twitter.com/1Em0IbzlRA

Stephen Cluxton, 3-in-row skipper, standard-setter, giant, genius, finest season.
Snubbed again.

Stephen Cluxton (correctly) shortlisted for F of the Y. And doesn't even end the night with an All-Star. Farcical, really #PwCAllStars

My only gripe with this years All Stars is how Stephen Cluxton didn't get one. He has captained Dublin to Three All Ireland's in a row and has been exceptional. No offence to David Clarke but it's scandalous that he was picked ahead of our Stephen. Always an All Star in our eyes pic.twitter.com/udsRy3Xhj4

Farscial. No #pwcallstars for Cluxton or @JohnSmall6 Is this a joke? Smally not even selected for half back line. Didn’t play any games full

I doubt he gives too much of a toss but Cluxton's non-selection is bizarre. Only 5 All Stars in total for him doesn't seem right either.

#PwCAllStars Andy Moran has been good , but the last two years dubs have been robbed of POTY #sympathyvote

Im sure James McCarthy looks at his 5 all ireland medals every day and cries thinking "if only i could play like andy moran" 🤔

James McCarthy was head & shoulders above everyone this year

That’s it from @TheCCD, folks. Congrats to everyone who won an award. I’m off to figure out how Clucko missed out AGAIN! #PwCAllStars 🤷🏼♂️
