(Well, it would be unseemly if you had to do it yourself, Zig).
Ziggysego was the first (before Reuters, BBC, Associated press, Pravda or any part of the Murdoch media empire) to break the news that Stephen O'Neill had returned to the Tyrone team.
Unfortunately, it seems that gaaboard.com administrative considerations conspired to bury his world exclusive in the middle of a composite thread on the subject, but I testify that I saw his post up there before anyone else's and long before any official news media broke the news. This post is to record due recognition of the achievement and I invite others to corroborate.
Stay tuned to gaaboard.com for more breaking news. The Ziggymobile was spotted in Tralee this evening ...
Good man Hardy, duly corroborated. Credit where it's due.
Ziggy, you're the first nominee for the GAAboard investigative journalism award.
Hope your next scoop is T Fearon lining out in green and gold at 3.

Meath won't have him
And neither will we.
Great scoop alright. Fair play.
Really looking forward to this final. O Neill s return adds something extra.
Not wanting to take away from Ziggy's thunder or anything but filthylittlebeast must have heard something fairly definite on Monday so maybe it's fair that Ziggy's thread was merged with his/hers.

Seemingly not !
well its hardly a big deal who posted it first now is it.
Anyone who reads the papers or listens to gossip could report that the word on the street was that Stevie might return.
Ziggy confirmed it within an hour of the players decision so credit where it's due!

That rumour has been running all year and will continue to run until 5pm on Sunday 21st September.
SoN is NOT making a return visit to Tyrone, I repeat NOT.
Was this ziggy's scoop? Or maybe i'm wrong?

I thought it was filthylittlebeasts scoop................
On a number of occasions ziggy catagorically stated he wont be coming back as per the above quote ;)
That was a different subject altogether. That was the RUMOUR that SO'N was coming back. Sure we heard that down here in the everglades. Ziggy broke the ANNOUNCEMENT before any of the world's news media.
Are you sure filthylittlebeast didnt break the news, hardy?
Yes. Ziggy posted it on Wednesday night. The filthy one's first post after the announcement was yesterday morning.
Rumour has it, though that Take Your Points was Deep Throat.
I swear a group of five year olds would display more maturity .
would you swear in front of them?
Thanks hardy ;D
Calmed down now. Went to Eddie's last night and took my frustations out on a bottle of Jameson.
No probs Zig.
Well done Ziggy... or should I say Captain Spy?? Good inside info!! Make sure to keep posting the juicy gossip !! ;)
The world is not enough
