Yeah I thought Cavanagh was rubbish, added nothing to proceedings.

you only need 20 in a given day Tony, Lougheil have nearly half of them a start ! the talent is there.

Obviously im an outsider who doesnt attend weekly matches, but am i totally wrong !!

Massive difference in club and inter county hurling Hoof.

yes i know, but if clubs put differnces aside, then there is a chance. Eamonn coleman done it for us 19 years ago in football, so why couldnt the right man do it for Antrim in the next few years ?

Are antrim, man for man, that far behind ?  I dont think so. Im not talking a Liam here, but regular 1/4 and semi's have to be genuine goal !

I have never heard of club differences holding us back, it's an easy excuse. We just don't produce a high enough standard of player and that is down to the clubs. you will get the odd shock result but the results don't lie over the last 20 years.

It is very simple, our players aren't good enoug to compete with the top teams, they are the best we have no doubt, but not good enough at the highest level. Maybe not good enough at our Div2 level either going by Westmeath result.

There is a certain irony in Sinn Fein accusing their brothers in arms (no pun intended) the DUP of a carve up or dirty tricks.

Dall have very bad U-21 record

[reunification will happen]

About the inclusiveness or non inclusiveness of the GAA- I attended the Cayman islands GAA finals last sun week and apart from the Irish, Aussies, locals, yanks, Canadians and south Africans playing ( men's and woman's leagues) there were a few lads playing from unionist/loyalist background from the six counties, plus a few Glaswegian rangers fans - all who apparantly would berate the GAA when back in their home domiciles but were happy enough to play , enjoy and really get into Gaelic football on grand cayman island!
So maybe the problem is. It with the GAA , or Ireland - but the 'commu ities' fri
Where these people come format 'home' !!!

While I think the pic in the medals looked dilly, in a few short years, these clubs and competitions will no longer be contentious - they will be assimilated into society just like Connolly station, wife tone quay, Robert Emmett st etc etc

Time will move on, as will people - reunification will happen and help this also - so there is no point in flustering over something that is a non entity .
Eventually people will not look for offence and just grow up!!

Go on, tell us when ?

Wallace has released his statement now - see hogan stand website.

feel a bit bad for slating him after reading that

Good speak NAH, Jerry may have made an error of judgement with going public about speaking to RTE but nobody can doubt his commitment to Antrim since the start of the year. The players respected him but didn't follow through with the same commitment at times. Sure the next poor f**ker that takes them will find out the same. He is a handy scapegoat for the players performances this year.

SinnFein must feel let down by their good friends the DUP.

Big mistake by the club, no doubt.

Hardstation because there was no outcry at your club everyone should have the same view?

Yeah some pretty horrific photos of the dead children in tomorrows papers, Syria isn't one of the fashionable Middle East countries to take an interest in unfortunately. Assad should have been taken out long ago.

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.
