If it’s young A O’N you’re talking about the lad has just turned 18. He’s only a cub. He has 2 more years at this level and is an outstanding player. He will follow his big brothers footsteps all going well and be a huge player for club and county.
Jaysus iv watched the under 20s and it was brutal to watch, Armagh 3 points in 60 mins worst free taken iv ever seen from Armagh.

Really?

I would have thought he has been bagging all the gimmes and has a decent return on the marginal kicks given distances, angles and conditions.
Yes. Missed a couple of gimmies in 1st half vs Mayo which spring to mind immediately and seems reluctant to place the ball on the ground in general and to take on a few croke parkesque opportunities that have come his way so far. Not a major criticism of the man but patchy in my view. Maybe someone has the stats on his free kick / 45 conversion rate?

3 Kieran’s playing their mind games naming Rian/same team as last week… got to love it. Roll on tomorrow until we turn themins over in their own patch and send them down. Mon Armagh
There's no genuine prospect of Tyrone going down. Even with right results there needs to be a massive points swing. No chance

Fully agree. Said it before the microscope needs to come off the younger O'Neills and to a certain degree the older ones too. Need their time to develop that talent in their own way and time but if they get suffocated by all the talk about them who knows what damage it could do.

I agree he is gonna be top drawer and people who watched him more than me reckon as good as Rian which is exciting, one thing I noticed he doesn't lack size for a lad at 18 playing 20 year olds, the half back O'Neill looks a great player too he is only that age also

Just a copy and paste job, Rian won't play alot of people online saying it's mind games, as much as I would hope it was true it isn't
It could be mind games, or a refusal to cooperate from the management, like when the players (might have been more than just Armagh) refused to sit for the team photograph way back in 2003.

Or the Armagh media person has been ‘lying down on the job’... again :D

He is a great player iv seen him number of times, it was a bad day at the office for the under 20s, I suppose you've only been positive on this forum? Not aloud to express an opinion?
It's "allowed" & maybe if you'd expressed your opinion in a similar way to your response to my post I wouldn't have questioned it. As you say, a bad day at the office.
