If the South Antrim team does go ahead are those invloved unable to play with their clubs? IE An Aggies man playing in the SA team in senior championship, is he still able to play Championship for the Aggies?

Who will be managing the SA team?

What value is there in fielding such a team? Let's face it, they'll not get too far so what's the point?

Is not a waste of time, effort and money?

I see that the Antrim webshite has stopped posting messages in Irish.

If what you say is true then that makes it all the more frustrating - a dictatorship. "Think what I think and if you don't, then, tough, I will take your right to comment away."

However, JMcS is an educated man. The comments on the Antrim site seem to come from some sort of narrow minded, self-important person/persons who appear to be interested in their little bit of power. Surely, they cannot be the thoughts of an educated man.

In fact, the attitude reflected in these responses illustrate a key reason why Antrim has never been successful. There has always been a territorial, mean-spirited approach within the county and this is very well reflected by the administrators.

NAG I agree with everything you have said.

I always thought that JMcS was a fairly level sort of guy and I was surprised that he would have allowed some of the responses from the administrators on the antrim web-site.

Unhappy with the performances on the field - you really don't have to be a rocket scientist to work it out. The people are just ordinary Joe Soaps like me who are frustrated that we as a county are not achieving our potential. IMO, people are justified in being unhappy about this situation.

Are you happy with what you have seen? Are you happy with the Carlow result? Are you happy with the Kerry result?

What do you suggest that should be done to improve our circumstances?

The thing is that I'm not a member of the anti-antrim brigade who will have a pop at the county board just because it is the county board. But the antrim web site will not allow Antrim people express their sense of frustration. The level of hysteria and arrogance displayed by the administrators is a real head in the sand approach.

NAG what do attribute the poor performances to?

He would need to do something as there are a lot of unhappy people.

Jim Magilton - then he went to play soccer

Lads the Antrim site is worth a visit and the new county year book has just been put on-line.

Again, I will ask the qusetion, "How is recalling the memory of innocents sectarian?"

I think that you don't undertsand the meaning of sectarianism.

Now, be a good lad and answer the question and try not to break off in a meaninless rant. Everybody laughs at you as it is, so, try and keep to the point.

Ulster Championship 1986 I think, first round. Micky Darragh shooting into the Motorway goal down the wing in front of the stand. Hits the ball with the inside of the boot from about 50 yards out and it bends for a great point. What made it memorable was that Tyrone were coming into the match as beaten AI finalists from the previous year - I think McCabe missed a sitter that day as well.

Hulk, where is the political bull in innocents being gunned down by murderers? This was not a political act. It was act of savagery. The victims were innocent civilians. All, with the honourable exception of Vol Michael Hogan, were non-combatants. How could this incident even be considered to be remotely political? All decent and right thinking people would admit that in remembering the slaughter of innocents is not in any way political.

However, does your post reflect your bigotry? Do you have a difficulty with recalling the memory of innocents because the terrorists who carried out this massacre were British?

I fail to see how recalling the memory of these poor people can considered to be secterian. By being so dismissive of this act of butchery carried out by murderous terrorists says much more about your narrow minded bitterness than it does about CLG. 

Well said Mr Murray -let's all remember why cumann luthchleas gael was founded

Sorry to hear about CC's death. Hard to take on board. God rest him

Abbey I don't wish to get into the politics of this but I wasn't even wanting to get a reply to my post. It was simply placed on the board for people to remember those who were murdered in Croke Park. Thats all. I think that you'll the British Legion do a good line in recalling the memory of British soldiers.

Canalman, not living in the past at all. It is important to know where we have come from and as we celebrate Croke Park as the jewel in the Irish sporting crown it is important to remember the long road we have had to go down to get to where we are at. So, in remembering those who were murdered it is by way of recognising how we have progressed from being down-trodden to becoming confident and vibrant and that we face the future with hope. But it is important that we remember with gratitude that there were those who suffered and died for us to get to this position.

As for terminology, I cannot see how you coud disagree. British Forces did smash their way into Croke Park, they did slaughter innocent people, they did commit murder in that their action was pre-planned and pre-meditated. People were terrorised by the actions of the British that day and one who terrorises is a terrorist.
