Having not watched anything before now, 3 points come to mind watching the highlights.
1. He's a midget
2. He's got a hell of a right foot.
3. He is going tp be used to the shit northern pitches we will be dealing with.
A possible 4th would be that he is very skilful. But against non league defenders (or equivalent) it's not that hard to look like that. So we will wait and see.
1. correct (hope you have kids tops) 2.correct 3. There is some really crap pitches in Northern Ireland but there are some really good also, he's equally adapt on each 4. He's performed well in European matches and pre season games against sides from England What I would add though, is while he has played in all pre season games and both home and away in Europe against the side who beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 there is a big different in fitness levels between Northern Ireland and League 1. Whiles he's a fit lad with great work rate, match fitness is a massive difference in full time football. I'd be amazed if he plays from the off, he will surely need time to get up to speed? In relation to another posters remark about defenders in League 1, if he can deal with 6 ft players who tackle/kick lumps out of him in Northern Ireland he will cope fine in League 1. |

Not sure all the Glentoran fans are taking the news well, from his wiki: Stewart has been in a relationship with his hand since September 2013.  |

These over last few days just for a start.
Fair enough, although I don't think it's been too bad. I have to say though that it's downright weird how you seem to outright hate the bloke's guts for no good reason. |

Maybe because he's able to squeeze in to kids merchandise? |

No wonder he was late signing, he was getting his GCSE results.

Thanks for posting, I like hearing I'm right every now and then. You can stay. As I am unfamilliar with the Norn Iron leagues I'm happy to believe there are good pitches, and it wasn't a deliberate insult- from my experience with the same kind of set ups over here, the equivalent level has some fucking appalling pitches that are more akin to pig wallows than playing surfaces, and the odd one that is cared for and the groundsman does a good job with. Having seen the 'signed!' pictures, I'm pretty sure he's got Leprechaun in his parentage somewhere. What's going to happen if we're playing up North on a Tuesday night? Will he get time off school? Will he be doing his homework on the bench on matchdays? |

He doesn't seem to be getting a hammering like Jordan Stewart did... I wonder why, seeing as everyone's judging them on a YouTube video anyway... Mind you I suppose Kent did have a run out at the CG.. |
