Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Last post by johnnycool - Today at 10:27:03 AM

If you are going to give it to someone, internally or not, you just can't go lumping someone else in with them just to suit a certain perceived bias or balance, i.e. Horse with someone from the city!

Whoever you give it to needs to live and die on their own sword and let them bring in whoever they need or want as in the end it's them that will have to work with the whole team, coaches and all.

So Derry are hosting Armagh on Sunday and hardly a post about it...Wow. Very low key

Both sides nervous perhaps?
I think injuries on both sides will play a major part here.
Is Rian O'Neill fit?
I haven't heard anything about any of the Derry injuries - Conor Doherty, Eoin McEvoy, Niall O'Loughlin, Cormac Murphy were all out injured the last day out. If all return, the pendulum swings for Derry.
Haven't heard anything about McKinless, but assuming he's got a 2 game suspension.

I'm going to guess we hear nothing official from either side on injuries and we won't know what the lineups will look like until throw in - so its a difficult game to call.

In my opinion, a full strength Derry at home beats a full strength Armagh 9/10 times. It's a must win game for Derry if they have any aspirations of topping the group.
We'll just have to wait and see on this one I think as there are two many unknowns in terms of injuries to call it.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

MR2 who would you recommend?

a. if you had to go locally?
b. if you had you pick across the country (realistically)?

So which Antrim man are you recommending?

Not sure what standard of players we have to match teams physically? We have plenty skill btw but over 70 plus minutes the big teams grind you down.

Bitta disrespectful on Carlow, they'd a better score difference to us and with 15 players on the park they could have won.

Sugar was good. Dark Matter decent so far.

Just finished Sugar. Not for me to be honest. Bits were good and seemed to have potential but just lacked that edge. The narrating got on my wick a bit too. Could have been so much better.

I really enjoyed it, felt rushed at 6 episodes I thought. When it started I thought it was a Billions type thing myself but soon realised its just a character study of various male ego types, Jeff Daniels, the guy in prison and the 2 bankers.

Joe is our very own Boris Johnson

Good Lord! Boris Johnson now... who lead a county into a Covid hellhole costing 10s of 1000s of lives, overseen a Tory party created more foodbanks than ever, totally corrupt prime minister... wat bout Netenyahu?!

In his very similar bullshitting characteristics.  Didn't think that needed pointing out but here we are...

Theres plenty of antrim men around ulster counties but that doesnt mean they are up to the standard we probably require. A lot of these "county managers/coaches" have done very little at club level in antrim

[Peter Canavan, u 20 manager]

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone County Football and...

Last post by Goals_Will_Come - Today at 09:23:28 AM

Does anyone know Dooher/Logan's championship record our wins, draws and losses?
Bound to be close to more losses than wins?

Won 9
Drawn 1
Lost 7

Since All-Ireland win
Won 4
Drawn 1
Lost 7

That's not great reading.

Only wins in ulster are Fermanagh and Cavan

That is actually depressing reading. Not point wasting another year of players talent with dooher and co. Get them out end of this year. Either Peter Canavan, u 20 manager or o'rouke.

Canavan isn't a viable option, hasn't managed in nearly 10 years. Enda McGinley and Ciaran Meenagh would be more likely candidates.
Better keeping Logan and Dooher than going with Paul Devlin. We are concerned at about how pure talent is keeping us competitive but struggling on the sideline against bigger teams. Devlin has won 2 All Irelands on talent alone and arguably lost 2/3 others based on his inability to manage extremely talented players. Tyrone should really have been won their third All Ireland in a row this year but Devlin was in over his head on the sideline against Conor Laverty in 2023. He was also very questionable in their Semi Final losses in 2019 and 2020.
