I agree on a lot HS but when we fall behind those 2 teams it's of major significance when it means relegation - to a league which is not and never has been by and large our standard. So some recriminations are to be expected. If it was more or less where we've always been (not what win/loss stats say) then there probably wouldn't be the perceived need for a players statement which we haven't had before. But I agree with the "it's not apocalypse now" sentiment.
My final comment on the McManus thing and only since its been mis-interpreted yet again.
I'm aware the media generally go to the player - but the point I made was that someone in the Antrim camp should change this. That might be Neil as captain, the management, or the PRO - but sharing the media work would be more healthy for the panel as a whole.
Also - it wasn't the media that picked him for the New Jersey photo shoot or to be under 21 selector.
I mean for crying out loud - is anyone seriously disputing that one player has a preponderance of focus when it comes to Antrim hurling! Like none I've seen in any other county! That's not a personal attack it's just a fact people! C'mon look at it - it's not disputable.
Fair enough if you think that's a grand situation but I personally don't find but healthy. That's me done on it no doubt another simple fact will be taken another way.
So here's a final curve ball to move the focus on - is anyone aware that the statement was not unanimously supported by all players?
This wouldn't be a major surprise as every panel is the same in this regard! Probably the men who wouldn't normally start. That's why all the loughgiel posters keep going on about the happy camp! If ur not happy in camp cdall/ Bcastle select ur off the panel coz you'd a bad attitude and u wouldn't commit!
