"I suppose in Armagh people just like to criticise more cause Geezer has been there a long - I don't know why, and people outside the county look to do the same with Geezer."But he had our full backing the whole year within the group and we knew what we had to do." Before Armagh played Tyrone on the last day of the league to try and avoid relegation, O'Neill pulled his quad and had to miss out on the match. However, for the wicked world of WhatsApp, that wasn't a good enough excuse, so a voice note was sent around claiming that the forward and McGeeney were fighting at training, and that's why the Crossmaglen star wasn't involved in the game. https://twitter.com/GAA__JOE/status/1684894412407447552
"Yeah, near the end of the league I had pulled my quad and then apparently me and him were fighting, but I think a lighter job would suit me than trying to knock Geezer out. "I would be laying in a heap on the ground somewhere I would say."O'Neill can laugh it off easily, but there's no question that people seem to be particularly prone to starting rumours and stories involving him. During the podcast recording, he tried to give an explanation as to why this might be the case.
"It is strange. I suppose over the league there was a few things, WhatsApp or whatever, and I don't know why. Maybe because I don't talk in the media too much so people try to get the ball rolling."I don't really know, but I don't pass any remarks about it, if you're going to talk then that's up to them, and I'll just do my stuff on the field at the end of the day."
