The Cushendall brethern can get very prickly, nobody was having a go at Sambo merely pointing out that it was strange he took the role on when he was already with the minors. It isn't personal, relax.

I take it mcGourty and Stewart won't be stripping out MR2, since they are badly injured?

Andy McCallin, Micky Darragh, Kevin Madden and CJ McGourty the only top drawer Antrim forwards in the last 40 yesrs. 

Only top class players of current era are CJ and Kevin McGourty and Aodhan Gallagher - Fact!

Apologies to:-

JP O'Kane
Kevin Gough
Pat Armstrong
J McKiernaqn
Frank fitzsimmons
Gerry Mc Cann
Justin Crozier
James Loughrey
Donal Laverty
Tony McAtamney
Michael McCann
Aidan Hammll

not necessarily in that order

Is your favourite colour blue ? What has Kevin McGourty done for Antrim?

I agree with Hardy.












(Which feels unsettling)

Unless there is a political angle of course.

Have to say, there has not been a Premiership won yet that has not been bought, in one way or another. Once you have the top professional players who can be bought by the financially stronger clubs there's no chance for the poorer sides.

United fans have been playing 'the players coming through' card, but this is really a myth. I mean there's a trickle of players coming through, but all the first team regulars are 15 Million plus signings. What regulars do not fit into this cathegory (ignoring Giggs and Scholes)?

Today, is a worring day for Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelski and (to a far lesser degree) Liverpool. City are now champions of the most popular league in the world. No longer will they have to fool players like Robinho into signing for them, no longer will they have to make do with good players who have massive baggage.

Evra, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Smalling, Welbeck, Hernandez - about half the team.

Similar to City then.

I cant rember the exact words but he made a racist remark and stated that he was happy he was dead.

A member of the public reported it to Twitter and they deemed that it was in breach of the law and had to report it to the police

For a crime to have been committed I would think someone would have to have been seriously damaged or slandered personally by his comments. I still think it's ludicrous.

Of course it was excessive, terrible what happened to Muamba but it became a cause célèbre, people were outdoing each other with the grief.

I'd say the rock bar have received more than that from him in the past lot of months....if he had spent it in his own club then they would be able to pay for it ?

He was barred from the Galls club for a period.

Got a bad injury - some fella in St. Galls made a hames of his insurance forms - club washed their hands of it - he ended up having to fork out 2 and a half grand.

Completely scandalous if you ask me.

His folks forked out the two and a half grand but your point stands.

Anyone hear of a certain former county (misunderstood) footballer tweeting on Friday?
If i were his club i would be none to pleased!!! ;D

Twitter is perfect for an attention seeker like him, he announced his retirement that night on Twitter and then said he would give it another year. Phew.

Does anyone know much or have any experience in getting onto the co-ownership scheme in NI?

If you can afford a full repayment mortgage avoid it like the plague

Some of the banks are offering 95% mortgage of the top of my head I can think of Northern Bank and possibly santandar ( though their customer service is poor)

Northern Bank customer service is woeful.

Jerry doesn't know. Any sightings of him at casement last sunday? Injured players usually still attend and rally the troops.

wonder how the other Antrim players feel about Kieran McGourty pretending to be sick last weekend and going to the Celtic and Rangers game instead. Not a player you would want in the trenches with you after that.

Cracking first post Saffrongael

Ridiculous post

ridiculous behaviour from an intecounty player. Soccer is more important to the belfast ones.
