The GAA football team of the year has been announced and unsurprisingly, strong debates about selection omissions have followed.

The team which was compiled by a comittee of experts, was announced on the Sunday Game last night with All-Ireland finalists Dublin and Mayo dominating the pick.

In fact, the half-back line is exclusively filled by men of the green and red with just Tyrone, Tipperary and Kerry being represented in other positions.

But several commentators online felt that Tyrone defender Peter Harte and Donegal's Ryan McHugh were unfortunate to be excluded from the final cut.

@RTEgaa @rte half back line looks particularly poor, Ryan mchugh was a way ahead of any of them.

@TheSundayGame Surely Peter Harte and Ryan McHugh should be on this team. . .

@unofficialgaa purely based on semi final and final. Ryan mchugh POY up to that and doesn't make the team!

Not having Ryan McHugh in the team of the year is beyond a joke. The man should be up there for Player of the Year #gaa #SundayGame

Ryan McHugh should be on that team. Blinkered selections.

@JamesOLeary11 Comerford in goal, Acheson and Peter Harte should be there too
