Antrim Football Thread

Why Brendan do you think people have no interest in being on the "board? Traditionally those positions have been well contested!

Its not as if there arnt plenty of top clubmen around!

Well, as the St. Gals men know, Club is one thing, County is another

All very well talking, actions will always speak louder than words.  Some of you boys should run for County Board, certainly can talk the talk and all that awl melarkey. I fear not of course 

Just thinking to meself, this could well be my last years sculling a pint in Casement.  The PD most likely to be my next local haunt 

PREDICTION for 2014.  CJ will be lucky if he makes it to the end of the National League (toys out of the pram)

Just home from a nice break-always nice to get away for Christmas,away from the humdrum.Well Bannside,hows all around portglenone,team all set for big 2014. See U21's got a tough draw in the ulster. Have the club settled on a new management team for 2014. See Madden away to Dungiven - you seem to be exporting good managers

[bannside]

James Mc Grath from Slaughtneil is managing us in 2014. He has been no 2 to Damian Barton and John Rafferty in recent years, and was involved with us last year as assistant to Michael Mc Mullan.

Ironically Brian Burns, one of our club members managed them (Slaughtneil) last year. With Kevin now at Dungiven and John Mc Keever at Cookstown yea its fair to say Portglenone has exported a fair number of managers recently.

Ironically Portglenone play Slaughtneil in the first round of the Creggan u-212 tournament too. Think we should get our manager to sign a non disclosure agreement LOL!

I always wondered about this, why people who wouldn't get near managing their own club senior team, but are welcomed with open arms to manage other clubs. A puzzle indeed.

No point being stupid if I dont show it now and again. Well spotted Hoof - even Jamesie Mc Atamney would be eligible at that rate.

i thought it was "a prophet is respected everywhere, except in his own town and by his own people"
Same thing I suppose!

Typical of this town where everyone's a dickhead!

Jesus man, we are desperate but not that desperate    Even if we are on our knees, would we be required to stoop that low??

Refforfree, your reply typifies top level ignorance and delusions of grandeur.

HS, I believe you have taken my last post out of context mate.  I certainly have no delusions of grandeur and would go as far as to say, that I am not shocked by your recent post in reference to the County Chairman FFF'ing and blinding and telling fellow Gaels to FCUK Up.  Totally agree also with your assessment about trying to change things from within.  As I have previously alluded to, it is the only way it will ever happen.  But, bottom line is 'new people need to get in there'    New people and the right people!   The longer the Status Quo remains, the bigger the mess we will have to repair.

On a point of order, I don't subscribe to or associate within any elitist (holier than now) organisations. 

The caveat remains  however, we need to be selective If you know what I mean! We would not be recruiting too many vitriolic, nandy pandy, wishy washy subscribers from Antrim GAA Board ('on here' as they say!).  By the way, the only Knights I am familiar with is night shifts!

Is this the demise of the basketball St. Galls players!  Only three, and one surely not likely to last the NL campaign.  Ah well, fresh blood, that a positive.
