And you change the slant from his lack of movement to who he has to mark after Iāve shown you to be wrong on that.
Predictable and complete bullshit.
Heās not even being marked for the first one you dose. Both plays come from dead balls. For the throw in, Tyrone are set up in a traditional shape, OāShea rampages through the middle and draws loads of bodies towards him creating space and time for a simple score for OāConnor.
For the sideline one, McNamee and McCrory are asleep, they both catch on late to Moranās run, both go for Moran and Moran slips it back to OāConnor who finishes well.
Neither are hallmarks of great movement.
He received the pass from Moran and was faced with Ronan McNamee, and McCrory coming back to cover as well. He took on McNamee and left him for dead, slotting the ball over from a difficult angle with another Tyrone defender coming out to face him.
In the other movement of play he clearly heads out by McCarron, losing McCrory in the process, and then ghosts away from him to support OāSheaās run. McCrory was left at sea and McCarron wasnāt awake to the danger that OāConnor had created.
You canāt put down all of his good movement to the opposition being asleep.
I donāt know which of ye is worse

Iām just presenting the facts to him and he canāt handle it at all 
Facts that present a very unconvincing argument.
Only to those who are be blind and biased to see it.

As you have alluded to Tyrone were asleep. The ball went, Tyrone players switched off and OāConnor with a bit of quick thinking manufactured a score. It does not constitute good movement though as his movement is poor which is why he tends to struggle from play in big games. Heās very dependent on Andy Moran beside him to make the space and win the ball for him, heās not able to do that himself.

To those who actually understand the game and have seen OāConnor live, they will know his movement isnāt good enough. He doesnāt want the ball.

Utter scutter.
In the two examples his lost his marker and even when he was face with McNamee he simply round him and scored from a tight angle.
What I alluded to was you claiming he excellent movement was down to Tyrone switching off. This was not the case and youād have to be a a very stubborn and biased individual to claim that in the face of the video clip and pictorial evidence I gave you.
You donāt even understand that a draw is better is than a loss.
Anyone with two eyes in their head can see it from everything that Iāve posted above that OāConnor has excellent movement. Only a biased man would have the complete audacity to disagree in the face of such evidence.
You forget about the biased mans followers mate,
Itās frankly ridiculous that COCās movement is being used as a stick to beat him with, clueless in the extreme, youāre wasting your time mate.
+1. Weāve got a lot of posters who rely almost exclusively on TV and internet (like the Galway lads and @croppy_boy) and probably havenāt seen OāConnor play in the flesh more than once or twice.
He relies almost totally on players bursting through the middle (OāShea and marauding defenders usually) and Andy Moranās outstanding and unselfish movement. OāConnor generally looks for a handpass or comes on a basic wrap around when the defensive attention is diverted to these other players who have actually won the hard possession (e.g. equaliser in AIF last year) but nobody has questioned his accuracy.
Heās a very good shooter and free taker but his movement and pace is below average. Heās also weak on his left foot as the poor point attempt which hit the bar on Sunday showed.
He spends large parts of games completely stationary, standing behind his man and pointing / gesticulating at the man in possession to recycle the ball or take it in another direction. Heās completely the opposite of Stephen OāNeill whose movement was exemplary.

Ah itās good to point out an flawed argument like that. The last thing youād want is a newbie coming on here and thinking that we let that shit fly here.
Itās getting as ridiculous as his arguments about Messi and the Gooch at this stage.

Jesus will you stop trying to rile him up
My God imagine using a primary source as evidence. I donāt know what I was thinking of.
Iāve seen him play in person 4/5 times at this stage I think. He wins plenty of his own ball despite his lack of speed off the mark.
I seriously canāt believe that youāre using the Mayo game plan of having big players draw away marker to allow him shoot as a stick to beat him with. Next thing youāll be criticising Robbie Keane for relying on Niall Quinn to knock the ball on with a header against Germany in 2002

Iāve seen him play in person at least 13 times and I disagree.
So there.
Oh no! A level headed and non biased person who makes salient points and leave his (or her) opinion out of it has backed him/them up.
Wait, I was wrong, itās @Sidney
Carry on

Youāre fucked now, at least nobody whoās walked the walk up to Siggersson level has weighed in against you. 
How can you lose a marker from a dead ball? McNamee was tasked with making Moran, he let him run, two players were dragged to Moran who slipped it to OāConnor who was free and scored a point. In case you didnāt know, you canāt mark a man who is taking a dead ball, you raving spazzy.
