Antrim Hurling

[getevennotcross]

ManInBlackandGreen or should I say 'Joseph in his Technical Colour Dreamcoat', i.e. Black &Green, Blue & White, Red & White, Green & Black and I am reliably informed a little touch of Yellow ?  More colours than Harry Nobletts by the look of things.   Your reference to 'aut viam inveniam aut faciam' sounds rather defeatist and of one who gloats, in some respects, however as in all aspects of life, there are times when presented with difficulty, obstacles and obstruction, we  have the gift of empowerment in finding another way or the potential to find a way of circumventing such hurdles. Clearly UC, have sufficient capability and grey matter to overcome such difficulties in our midst and they will ultimately, despite objections, begrudgers, provide us with a stadium we all may be proud of.  The McAvineys, Dalys and Feeneys of this world, I am confident will deliver. 

Fair to say though, I would not have the same level of confidence in some, and I emphasise some, of the elected officers in HQ, Páirc Mhic Easmainn. 

Also, somewhat presumptuous on your part to allude to the fact that I may be your friend (a chara)!  If the information I have obtained is indeed true, and that I now know your identity, your somewhat delusional.  I would be one, who is a lot more selective in who I would chose friends!  I have made a lot of acquaintances in life, but very few I would term as friends.  Real friends are generally those of integrity, honesty, reliability and sincerity, such traits are hard to find in many respects. The characteristics of a real friend I may add.

As to your query regarding my stance on Casement Social Club, of no consequence to me really, I never frequented the CSC and tend to shop local.  I was never of the mind to socialise in Casement Park and generally prefer to frequent my local hostelry.  I am led to believe the Guinness is much nicer in Gravediggers compared to Casement anyway. The Glenowen is another of my local haunts, twice a week normally for lunch, with me ma (god bless her) on Tuesdays and wife and kids on Sundays, when at home.

Also,in your aggressive and underhand taunts at C11, you appear for whatever reason to be someone in the know, as they say?  A pity you don't utilise such knowledge/information in a more positive and endearing manner to fellow gaels, you never know you may make a  friend or two along the way (a chara).  Well anything is possible, I always say!  But in your case, I suspect there is always the exception to the rule, but hey don't loose sleep over it, as you appear to be already, over the ignominious failure of Casement development.

Just had an instant message for one of your alleged allies, beware ManInBlackandGreen - Scorpions all.  See what I mean regarding supposed friends. Very quiet at the moment, is it that you work night shifts or the legal profession, just mindful of the sleepless nights?

 Geteven: lex non distinguitur nos non distinguere debemus so I enjoy my own council I would say anyone who PM's you is trying more to find out about you than I they all want to get an edge and they have been trying to find out my identity for a while its amusing to say the least, I keep no friends for the exact reasons you previously listed apart from my dog he is more dependable 

I asked for your stance on the social club to extract your knowledge on the present issues, many come to this site and defend some/all of our mandated officers, thus the glove to C11 in my last post, I will however wait to see what the media decides its going to inform us of in the coming weeks and we can all Judge for ourselves   In addition to the Irish Times (Costa), I was recently recommended a great book by a colleague Machiavelli "The Prince" great read/stocking filler for Christmas Geteven.

You're so predictable ManinBlackandGreen, but like an irritating stutter or cough, we can just about live with it.

My deduction on the lawyer bit, I trust may be accurate with all those Latin references you refer to. But still a distinct possibility you are a nobody on the periphery of current developments.

Unlike I, just happy to encourage and embrace progress in our county and welcome the fact a parental body is in control of development at Casement. It will happen have no doubt.

Well, signing off now for a wee while, off on a cruise with her in doors and one of the offspring. Have a merry Xmas all and here's to a more promising new year in all Antrim fronts, on and off the field if play.

Ah DeJesus, going aff the fcukin drink, that's it, No mas, Fin!

Happy New Year to ya all, very quiet these dark days.

[getevennotcross]

So Creggan kicks off with the football today.  I was informed all the football matches were going to be played at St. Pauls, Shaws Road?

Just back from my travels and well earned rest and looking forward to whatever the season brings for Antrim this year.  Hopefully, it will be a positive year with various semblances of progress, we live in hope.

Happy New Year to you all regardless.

match on sunday v DIT at st pauls is it?

be interesting to see where we are at this stage. the players have been training all over the winter in the gym so should be in a decent enough shape.

I'm still surprised St Paul's got the go ahead to host the game?
Obviosu connection and new surface for the Minor Football tournament - but a horrible place to watch a game let alone park a car?

[Bonamargy]

I presume the DIT game has been changed to St Paul's because our Tarmac work isn't completed yet. The county can't be expecting a big crowd. There was almost 2000 at the McKenna Cup game V St Marys, St Paul's couldn't have coped with that surely? Where are spectators meant to park? St Paul's car park holds about 20 cars maximum. Only one side of the pitch available to spectators as well.
