Stephen O'Neill retirement official

[amigo]

I was speaking to a relative of Stevens a while back who told me there was no way Steven would go back and play under Harte!! Apparently he had to quit working with him as well as they were not seeing eye to eye on a number of issues. I will not go into details but if i was in his shoes i would struggle to play under the circumstances also! I think he had lost all respect for the man!!

A fantastic player who was virtually unmarkable on his day. he possessed power and pace in abundance and combined with his accuracy off both feet he was arguable the most potet forward in the country in the last 5 years.

However,  i'm unable to credit his virtues without mention of the dirty streak which lurked below his undoubted talent. I'm sure John toal has a little less pain in every step this morning.

Aye right whatever

You're out of order there Uladh.

Tyrone's NFL disciplinary record might be a bit better this year.
Didn't he get 3 red cards in one campaign?

Why, what did he say that was untrue?

[full back]

I dont think anyone can underestimate how big of a loss this is to Tyrone this year.
With PTG gone, Mulligan not firing on all cylinders & Mc Guigan struggling with injury ye lot are going to have another barren year (much like ourselves)
What price Derry now for Ulster?

[Uladh]

You're out of order there Uladh. 

In what way?

[Star Spangler]

Very sad day.  Stephen could do more with one leg than most could with two.  His 5 minutes against Meath last year showed that.  Unfortunately there's a lot more to it than just the injury.  A change of management will see him return no doubt.

like peter canavan he took a serious amount of abuse from defenders. i am pretty sure those sending offs were all double yellows for getting involved with such defenders. to suggest that stephen o'neill was a dirty player is nonsense.

[orangeman]

To suggest that SON was dirty and inflicted deliberate injury is way out of order !!! Complete dung. Where are you from Uladh ?

[Uladh]

Your county men won't thank you for turning this thread into a slanging match. if you can't be detatched enough to see the strenghs and weaknesses of players then you show yourself in a very dim light (not for the first time).

Thats a very interesting post StarSpangler, would you care to elaborate?

[snappiered]

Uladh I would like to reiterate the statements of Orangeman. Stevis was certainly not a dirty player and are you trying to implement that he deliberately ended John Toals career? If you are I just put is down to one thing - Jealously.

[Maximus Marillius]

best advise is to ignore Uladh

[orangeman]

Agreed - Max - dim ?? Aye right !!!!!!!!!
