Why do people pick Morgan ahead of o Neill in their best 15?

In my opinion Morgan is the better goalkeeper of the 2.

Because Morgan is a much better keeper.

Look at O'Neill's bombscare show against Cavan last year.

And what about Morgan's two years ago V Kerry in the semis in Croker.

I don't recall too many goalkeeping mistakes in Morgan. He's a better shot stopper than O'Neill, he's more commanding under the high ball than O'Neill, his kickouts are better. Much of the criticism with Morgan is because he's missed a fair few pressure fees in big games. That does not impact on his ability as a goalkeeper though.

He gave Kerry several scores that day from those "better" kick outs

More commanding than o Neill in the air? Seriously? Put a ball up between the two see who comes up with it. Better shot stopper? I don't think o Neill can be blamed for last year v Cavan that was a defensive nightmare for at least 2 of those goals. Morgan is deemed a better place kicker but I can remember several occasions where Morgan gifted teams scored with his kick outs i.e. Kerry two years ago Donegal few years ago mayo last year. I think o Neill is the better keeper but not by much. Either or really doesn't annoy me

Did you even see O'Neill last season against Cavan? Everytime a ball came into the square he was flapping, Morgan is on a different level when it comes to dealing with balls in the square. 100% I would back Morgan every single time when it comes to dealing with a high ball into the square over O'Neill.

I think Morgan is a far better keeper, I think it's backed up by the fact we don't seem to concede goals when Morgan is in goal and we do when O'Neill is.

We also got a few scores from them as well. I can recall him hitting a kickout 60 yards to Meyler who tapped it down to McAliskey on the run who scored an excellent effort.

When you see Cluxton having a meltdown with Kerry last year, coughing up 2 goals in a few minutes Hennelly constantly costing Mayo, Paul Durcan throwing an All Ireland for Donegal in 2012. I think we've been quite well served by Morgan in the past few years.

Great day for Tyrone football. Ranch win Sigerson and led by key Tyrone men. Managed by Paddy Tally too.

For me Myler has done nothing this past 2 years for club or county to warrant a start.

I had to go looking for this at this time of the morning. seanmc123 from Dromore, football isn't really your thing is it ?

Why does your profile say club ... omagh ?

I think in Meylers case the more games the better! He was outstanding yesterday. McGeary as well I thought was very good. I'd like to see him get a few outings in the NFL he is a class act. I think he is definitely a Mickey Harte kind of player could play anywhere from 5-12.
