but it comes to the crunch games like last year v harps o connor is found wanting. its one thing scoring in challenges and certain league games but it has to count in the big games.

come of it wanderer he had 3/4 effort,s at the post,s which were narrowly of target while having 2 men hanging on him , i could say that andy mallon is a very good man marker who regularly snuffs out the dangermen  but as seen many times this season including the county final and lately for armagh is that he struggles under the high ball .

Just because you read something in a newspaper doesn't make it Gospel Torres.

I know you're only winding but where the fcuk did Heaney get that one from?? He referred to the county final against Clans () and said he struggled against Nippy. Nippy, for obvious reasons, had a poor enough game, don't remember Andy struggling aerially with him..........Jaysus one mistake against Down and now Andy Mallon is weak under a high ball!

[thewanderer]

Torres u dont have the success as a player like andy being poor under high balls. i think any county in ireland would have andy in corner back, never mind club teams.

Did O'Connor ever learn to pass the ball?

[winsamsoon]

Think some of you lads are way off the mark with Mallon. He's a super player, that shite about the high ball baffles me as does the comments about swift. I watched the county final and if anything Swift was brutal in the air ( i seem to rememeber someone saying he had a broken thumb for the second half) Granted mallon doesn't make superb catches but neither does his man and the comment about passing i don't know where this is coming from pints. He does a simple job very well. If we had 6 defenders like him we would be hard to beat.

I'm on about O'Connor, not mallon.

I think the time of your edit indicates that you added something onto that post as it didn't read like that first time round ie no mention of O'Connor, hence the confusion.

[illdecide]

The height thing was brought into it when i said if that lad O'Connor was a bit bigger he may well have had a few trials with Armagh and some how that was transfered over to A Mallon who i believe bar one mistake is excellent under the high ball and is one of the most complete corner backs in Ireland. If A Mallon was marking O'Connor in a championship game i would expect Andy to come out on top 90% of the time but there is no doubting that O'connor can take a score.

[davo]

i would say any team in ireland would have andy mallon as their corner back. Total nonsense about him being poor under the high ball and total nonsense that he struggled against Nippy Swift. Swift was poor in the county final.

Yeah I edited after your post to make it clear I was on about o'Connor

[winsamsoon]

Hence the confusion pints but we now know what you were on about.
