Iām not sure you even know who Daniel Flynn is.
Has he a left foot?
You have a serious chip on your shoulder regarding Ulster football which is gas since Connacht have contributed two All Ireland football titles in the past 60 odd years.

That clip there has him kicking points from 40 yards off both left and right. Kildare are a Leinster county, Iām not sure what the Connacht reference is.
The reference to Connacht is due to the fact your inferiority complex with Ulster football does not be long coming to the fore.
Flynnās athleticism is what makes him the player he is. His decision making, much like Shane Walsh is highly dubious.

When he mentioned o Neill yesterday he was talking about raw ability and power.
If o Neill was playing down south the first thing he would mention is his skill levels.

You were asking a moment ago if he had a left foot, Iām not sure you have ever seen the lad play? Some of Rian OāNeills shooting yesterday was wild and a real momentum killer, but because he stayed shooting and got 2 or 3 from play lads lose the run of themselves.

Daniel Flynn is a lovely footballer. Odd to suggest otherwise

Itās how I also described Flynn, it is a perfect description of both players. They both have great raw ability and power, but both are inconsistent.
OāNeill is a complete player and heās clutch, heās a leader and a bit like Michael Murphy he plays wherever Armagh need him. Heās a different type of player to mercurial talents like Flynn and Shane Walsh who have teams built around them but their decision making and mentality make them highly inconsistent.

Heās a phenomenal athlete.
Why do you think McGeeney doesnāt build his team around OāNeill? They arenāt exactly blessed with quality forwards and they have plenty of options for around the middle.
Questioning the mentality of Walsh, who gave one of the all time great exhibitions in last years AI final, shows the blinkers are fully on this morning.
Because they have quality forwards but have serious issues in the midfield, your chip on your shoulder is probably leading you to believe that Grugan, Campbell, Turbitt, Murnin etc are not quality forwards.
A shame RONās brother has been plagued by achilles issues the past 3 years as heād be a huge addition to Armagh in the midfield sector.
You should have watched Walsh in the AI QF and SF last year when Conor McCloskey and James Morgan pocketed him. A great AI final display is what heās capable of but has rarely delivered in his career to date in big games, heās 30 next month.

Interesting one, can we describe a player who misses a big penalty against a fella who isnt a goalkeeper as clutch, or kinda clutch?
RON is a fabulous footballer, just a shame he hasnāt a decent manager working with him. Hopefully heāll get it soon.
Murnin and Turbitt who were both held scoreless yesterday, Grugan taken off and Campbell not starting? They are the quality forwards? Good grief. I was in Croke Park last year too when OāNeill was completely anonymous until his last minute free. He did at least score his penalty that day though.

Yes.
You can put it down to your lack of football knowledge and strange little menopausal agendas against specific GAA individuals. I would put that down to some deeply embedded bitterness and jealousy.
Donegal did exactly the same with Michael Murphy as Armagh are doing with OāNeill
Yeah. Good players have bad games.
Not the exact same, but most certainly there are similarities. That worked really well for both too.
Its a shame because RON seems a grand fella, who will do anything for the team. But you dont get the piano player to shift the piano. Plenty of grunts for that.

But when itās Shane Walsh who has a quiet game itās due to his mentality, despite giving one of the great all time displays in the biggest game of his career. Them lads were quiet yesterday because they were up against capable defenders, not a turkey shoot against Antrim or Down.
