Absolutely not and as a county, we have a hell of a lot of work to do.

Agree 100%.. but how can we as a county move on when everything is a negative both on and off the pitch? I hold my hands up and admit some of my posts are negative but I'm calling things as I see them and that at the minute is an embarrassment. Not scoring for a half of football? Shocking.

Yeah it is pure pish and shows how far off we are but nothing has really changed in the 40 odd years I have been following Antrim GAA - same old shite, good footballers in the county but no county team, inferiority complex passed down through the generations, open door policies at training, underage face fit policy and so it goes on and on and on and on.  Radical change needs to be implemented and the only hope we have is to start at the very bottom.

It's impossible to argue with any word of that to be honest. Some people in our county want to take what they can from the GAA and others want to give what they can to GAA. 

Don't speak out of turn against the county, you'll be accused of being a slabber.

I have no idea what the individual's membership of Casement Social Club has to do with it. Are all members of the club now to have nothing to do with Antrim GAA? Is it a prerequisite of being on our county executive that you had to be a supporter of any plan or idea that the Ulster Council had for Casement Park?

There are a handful of bitter individuals who hold personal grudges against members of Casement Social Club, mainly because they ended up embarrassed and had to step back with their tails between their legs following a completely deluded & unlawful power trip ended badly. Perhaps one of them has your ear.

No ear bending here pal.

I just want a county team and a county set up that I can be proud of. Are you happy seeing the county in a negative light across the Irish News?

a county board job offered to member of the casement social club..
:o
Outrage.

Sarcasm isn't really needed here to be honest.

A member of the CCC left/was pushed or whatever, he as far as I know hasn't been replaced despite offering the job to 2 men who both turned it down, one of these being a member of the social club which, correct me if I'm wrong, was one of the hold ups of the Old/New Casement saga.

Surely with out a CCC we can't do fixtures or championship draws which in turn will hold up things starting.

I've never once said that the SV concern will get it fixed with the first couple of years of them being in office but the jury is very much out on them at present. When things are correct in the boardroom so to speak, through times things will hopefully start to turn around on the pitch.

Maybe I am being a criticising slabber by voicing my opinion.

Somewhere that's suitable, Good Pitch, parking, veiwing facilites and that would attract a crowd because let's face it if there's a Celtic match on who many SA supporter's will bother their arse attending ie Senior Semi this year , it was pathetic!!

Where else in the City has parking? Bear Pit? I agree with you by the way.

If you were on county executive PJ what would you do to improve what's happening on the pitch, in the case of Antrim senior footballers? I'm not trying to be clever here.Just genuinely interested in what you would do / think board should do. Question open to anyone with a constructive view?

I honestly don't know BS. I just think we are slipping into the old rut of jobs for boys and accepting s**t!

No improvement made whatsoever on the pitch with the footballers and people leaving/getting pushed of the CCC, a county board job offered to member of the casement social club..

Future is bright. Bring back Jim Murray.

Awful news coming out of creggan tonight involving 2 kids in a car crash, hopefully they'll pull through and gaels around the county will keep them in our prayers.

As you know we have some fine juvenile hurlers, just don't have the numbers interested to field teams at the moment. Some lads sanctioned last year to Dunloy, but we are in the middle of discussions at present with other clubs over forming an amalgamation at Juvenile hurling level, see what comes from that.

What clubs or can u say?

Better say nothing at the moment PJ, nothing certain yet and I won't want to jump the gun, but there does seem to be a fair number of other Sw clubs struggling with Juvenile hurling as well as us.

Seems to be a few struggling between the UN14-minor level.

Any Antrim men on the Emmetts team?

Don't think it. Their manager is Kevin Martin McMullan from C'Dall.

He'd have been on the previous teams that won it I think

Yeah there's been a few lads from Antrim on previous teams. The lad Kelly from Gort Na Mona, Higgins from Con Magees & Kevin McMullan and his brothers.
