As for the ban on players not being able to transfer from clubs in Antrim at juvenile level, it is in place, so again you're full of it

If you are stating there is a ban on juvenile transfers within Belfast, you are incorrect.

am i?  go onto the Antrim Website and ask the admin. they will tell you. also check out some threads on the Antrim Hoganstand Forum  threads about it also.

why do you think there isn't?

as a club we don't have any money, skint like the other clubs outside of Dublin. any money raised is done by the players and members.

why did two players join St Galls? ask them. Ronan Gallagher couldn't make our senior team until Paddy Murray retired, and Rory has been subbed most games this year. no one is assured a place on the team.

OK your relocated to Dublin. your a decent footballer/hurler. what club would you prefer to join?

Players all over have moved from clubs for various reasons, St Thomonds College won the All Ireland club title beating St Johns Belfast, they had players from all over Ireland playing for them (so did St Johns ) it will continue to happen. we have two players, big deal.

so as a club you don't have any outsiders, as players or managers?

He waved to me the other day, so not too much of a grudge.

but after i brought the memory back today

 

went to bed early and had just the two glasses 

its all about the preparation, load of drink, late nights. morning time a big greasy fry up followed by loads of caffine drinks.

wont be able to walk proper for a week, but sure....

On the way down Hardstation, Bap was recalling that day you did nets. he has a massive grudge against ya

Milltown coming good for the AI semi......

The goals he got were very soft I heard

Champions!!! sure the pub team we sent down had a good laugh, Clapped ya's into the club room before the tea and sarnies

was your fullback who was marking the aul man who's only 5" 2

Ray Matthews even had the cheek to book me, well it was a little slap.

hope the  leagues stay the same, Glenariff should beat Ballycastle and they come down

Milltown coming good for the AI semi......

i might just make it Hardstation , would cause a split maybe but sure......

winsamsoon. go back to your village team and enjoy the craic. i play/manage/volunteer for a club that has all the vaules asscoiated with the Gaa ethos. we Play Ladies Football Hurling Football and Handball we also have a thriving Scor. All this in one West Belfast club.

i answered your quote that clubs ban transfers. they do already. you've also said that you don't expect players to travel long distances when they move. so i'm confused with your complaint. is it Dublin clubs ya hate or just anyone but youselves

the players i'm talking about who moved have moved to different towns. By moving to parish clubs they are becoming part of that clubs fabric.

for 9 out 10 players they have those memories of the bun and drink. can't honestly think that putting on another top from a club would be for me. but people do and they are as much a GAA person than you

Goalscoring exploits from Milltown today I hear?

Just the two, only played up front in the second half, was trying to stop Tosh in the first half, still a cracker (tosh, not me)

what a fooking day, the wind and rain was mad. hurling great fooking love it.

Ya's had the full team out!!!

Nobody is questioning your hurling teams Milltown or the ability, could haveade far more with it but for the bogball, but when hardy comes to hardy football takes precedence. And the match  I am  talking about a few years ago you were a dirty wee b**tard.........

was a bad day when that happened. i was selector on that team, caused problems and the club suffered for it. previous year we should have beaten Loughgiel at Casement in the semi lost by 3. we also got to croke that year. football was not the problem

St Galls have been there or thereabouts for the last six years, and unlike Cross, Ballinderry or Loup they are a dual club and come from a county with a poor enough record in club championship prior to St Galls emergence.

Not hard to do when they transfer in any promising underage talent in Belfast.



Its one of the things that is ruining the Antrim county setup. Good youth players transferring at underage level to the big club to try and win trophies, then spending the following year or 2 picking splinters out of their backside benches when they need to be playing flat out... then a year or two after they give up.




If I was in charge in Antrim, my very first change would be the complete ban of underage transfers within the Belfast area (i.e. from one Belfast club to another).





(sits back and awaits the self-interest group to arrive)

Minder in the years that i've played senior hurling (20) we've won more games against you!! we also managed to compete in more minor finals and under 21 finals. i'd say our standing in hurling is the same

Ok ill-informed I'll help you out.

Belfast does not have Parish boundaries most cities don't. We've two players that play for us that didn't play as juveniles. Ronan move to the club 5/6 years ago as he worked in Belfast. Fermanagh is 2+ hours away 4 return. You of course would travel and play for your local club

All the clubs in Belfast have players from outside. This is not uncommon in most major towns and cities throughout Ireland. Better still you'd expect players to travel home from London and play for their local team?

I know of many ex Galls players who have moved from the area and have their own kids playing for local clubs. My own lad played for St Enda's. Local club to him.

We also have three senior teams so that we don't have kids picking splinters from their backsides we also have two senior hurling clubs (all county) to facilitate all comers. You're probably from a single code club which in itself is killing Gaa traditions.

I await your response

Ipswich 0 Sheff Wed 0   the legend coach is four points from safety... he certainly won't be relegated as he will jump ship again... whose a 'sh*t manager' now?

you have a serious hard on for Keane

very disturbing

I dont think standing on toes or feeling balls is acceptable

maybe in prison

i doubt DD will come back now he'd be downthe pecking order now but Dinny likes the Loughgiel lads

game is off tomorrow i hear

any links to the game?
