Oisin McConville states this might be his last year according to BBC Northern Ireland.

Is it good for Armagh?

Is it good for the GAA?

A great advert for the GAA, he gave all for club and county.  Who will ever forget his goal in 2002 AIF :) a class act.
I ain't gettin on no plane!

Good luck Oisin and all the best in the future. A true Gael..

Not too many men bounce back from:
- not scoring in 1999 AISF (largely because his father was in ill-health)
- Scoring 1-9 against Kerry in 2000 AISF and still ending up on the losing side
- missing the first half penalty in AIF 2002

to score the all-important goal and walk away with the man of the match award in AIF 2002.

Many got the plaudits, but Óisín got the scores.

No matter what people were saying about him, he always produced. He has a brutal back problem that would have finished many's a footballer.

With him retired and Clarke out, Armaghs odds to retain their Ulster cahmpaionship will surely lengthen, dramatically.

Is this gentleman really worth the praise you are heaping on him here?

thebandit

Yes, why?
Have you something you'd like to get off your chest?

if Nif anatic knew a wee bit about football he(?) wouldnt be asking the question !

If he's not referring to football he should post on the non-GAA section

I hope he stays as long as he is healthy enough to contribute to the cause but given his chronic back problems over the years I think this might be it for him at the Inter county level. Oisin has been one of the most important players in our history and if he decided to quit and concentrate on putting in a few years with cross I would say fair play to him, he owes us nothing and we owe him a great deal.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.
