The Gaelic football season for 2014 came to end yesterday and the only thing to do now is to hand out the GAA equivalent of the Oscars/ Grammys.
The Grimleys honour those individuals who have left an indelible mark on the Gaelic football year.
The Media Relations award
The media relations award goes to Paul Grimley who resolutely refused to talk to any representative of the national media between the Armagh-Cavan game and Donegal-Armagh quarter-final, unless they were called Billie Joe Padden.
The two month long siege (about which there will surely be any number of books written) gave rise to some tragic moments. None more tragic than the image below of a sodden and pleading Colm Parkinson being fobbed off by an almost guilty looking Paul Grimley.
The Liaising between referee and the crowd award
The relationship between the crowd and the referee at a GAA match is one of the most rancorous in all of western civilisation. The latter persists in trying to blank and ignore the former, while the former relentlessly barracks and abuses the latter, occasionally indulging in a spot of physical violence and/or kidnapping.
One Mayo fan attempted to get some dialogue going near the end of the heated Kerry-Mayo game. Mick Barrett merely enquired of linesman Maurice Deegan why certain decisions had been made. Before he could ask anymore, 17,000 security men descended on the pitch, and egged on by his own daughter, removed him from the field of play.
The Service to Weaker counties award
The services to weaker counties award goes to Sky Sports for their decision to screen two Sligo Gaelic football matches.
It is unknown whether their tactic of using Sligo to sell Gaelic football to the UK market paid off.
The Dennis Bergkamp first touch award
This award is kindly sponsored by former Arsenal player Dennis Bergkamp and it goes, unsurprisingly, to Shane Walsh, the most ludicrously elegant player Gaelic football has seen since Maurice Fitzgerald's tanned legs used to glide around Croke Park.
The Innovation to the free kick award
A new one made possible by Cormac Reilly's determination not to be constrained by anything so pedantic as the rule book in his governance of the Kerry-Mayo game. Anthony Maher executed a free kick lying on the ground with his fists.
The soundbite of the year
The soundbite of the year award has for many years now has been one long duel between Joe Brolly and Pat Spillane. Spillane has romped to victory in the past with classics such as 'puke football' and 'shi'ite football', but this year it was all Brolly, who yesterday announced that 'there is no place in the modern game anymore there for managers who love football'
However, the winning soundbite this year is Brolly's equating of Galway's seriousness about beating Kerry with the Rose of Tralee's seriousness about bringing about healing our troubled world.
"Galway wanted to win the same way the Rose of Tralee wants world peace, she doesn't really want world peace" Brilliant from Mr Joe Brolly

The Steve Ovett counting one's chickens award
Mayo is the hotbed of the All-Ireland songs. In 2013, those Mayo people who id not record a pre-All-Irelnad ditty were very probably a minority within the county. This year was very different, with Kerry in particular not usually being overcome with the musical impulse when they reach an All-Ireland final. Mayo artist King Cong somewhat unwisely recorded an All-Ireland song before the All-Ireland semi-finals. Sadly, the title 'This Year It's Mayo' proved woefully inappropriate for a game involving Kerry and Donegal. Here are some of the lyrics:
two thousand and fourteenat last the Mayo dreamis going to come trueand our desirewill see the cup come Westas Mayo give their Bestwelcome home to good old Sam Maguire

The Conor McGregor callout of the year award
A textbook call-out this year, and the victim was a rather typical one, the lippy, cocky, controversialist barrister Mr. Joe Brolly, a man who seems to invite call-outs every time he opens his mouth. Well done Kieran Donaghy.
The cliche of the year
What cliche sums up the Gaelic football season of 2014? 'Stephen Cluxton's kick-outs' naturally dominated the early part of the season, with many alleging that the goalkeeper was now equivalent to a 'quarter-back'. However, victory has to go to 'siege mentality', the watchwords made popular by the inimitable Paul Grimley, his influential assistant and successor Kieran McGeeney and the Armagh team 
The Keith Duggan sentence of the year
The Keith Duggan sentence of the year goes not to the man himself but to his colleague Malachy Clerkin with this beauty on Kieran Donaghy and Kerry last Saturday.
Donaghy is the tenner Kerry has kept finding in the arse pocket of their jeans
The Sonia O'Sullivan's dad putting defeat in perspective award
Michael Dara MacAuley found out it tough after Dublin's shock All-Ireland semi-final loss to Donegal. Still he saw the irony in this expression of sympathy.

The Israeli government spy of the year award
This is the first ever appearance of this worthwhile category, which honours those determined enough to take it upon themselves to see what the other team is doing.
The title goes to the Donegal man from Glenties who or may not be a close friend of Jim McGuinness, who used a lofty tree which boasts clear views of the Fitzgerald Stadium pitch in Killarney. The Irish Independent reported that his name is Patrick Roarty.
The award is very kindly sponsored by Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers.
