I don't live too far from those who did it.  Pure scum.  Lowlifes.  There is serious jealousy of the Bridge in CUllyhanna.  We have it over on our side as well because they hate us too. (Newtown)  In fact, the situation is made worse by the parish priest who can't see any wrong in them and actually supports them against us.  Cullyhanna have really become the hatefullest shower of c***ts around.  They are lawless and violent.  ANything they run ends in a brawl.  APparently young Conall Quinn was on his own because all the Bridge ones were at a big do in their own club.  I heard the same two names as well.  Armagh Minors.      I have a few friends from the Bridge and they are baying for the blood of the two scum lowlifes who were the main culprits.  The lad they did it on is one of the nicest quietest lads you could ever meet.   

I hear Conall hasnt a clot on his brain as first feared and is doing well, hope it's true and we can look forward to him being back in the blue and yellow.   
I did hear a few stories of what happened and what was done to him and it just makes me sick. It's very clear Conall was spotted and targeted when, as usual, he was just minding his own business.  From what I hear about the extent of the attack, he's actually a very lucky lad. 
I just don't know what to say about these cullyhanna boys, it's a game of football for f**k sake!

Put of the county panel legs? Are you serious? They'll probably be considered captain material. 

Seany, I know what you mean about the parish priest supporting them but considering he's now living with his sister after his house was robbed and wrecked he might have changed his mind.  I also sincerely hope that there's no retaliation, we're better than that. - just look at the weekend we had in the club, we helped the family of a man fighting illness in the US raise over £30,000, we'd yet another successful fundraising night for the club itself and we threw a great day for the kids yesterday with the bouncing castles, face painting and all that carry on - what the f**k did Cullyhanna do? 



btw, where's our cullyhanna posters?  It's ironic that one of them was saying just a couple of weeks ago about how disciplined they were.

Well that is absol B.S, the row happened at the away end, so he must hav been hit by his own supporters then...such rubbish

didnt know mullaghbawn had began crowd segregation and had an "away end" for away supporters. thought fans could mingle like at any other gaa ground.

This happened a few years back with my club and Tir Na Nog both teams played at Portadown in the minor championship and there was trouble at the game. A couple of weeks later it escalated at a bar in lurgan

lads playing in the minor championship shouldnt be drinking in bars, or anywhere else for that matter!!

[winsamsoon]

exactly ??  minors are 18??? But by the way i never said it was in the bar or even involving drink. I said it escalated at a bar. But this kind of childish nit picking is expected from some muppets on here. Once again instead of participating in a proper conversation, some village idiots will try to pick up on spellings or something daft. Well done qub 

On the issue at hand lads, there really seems to be a big problem in this area. We have our rivalries here in lurgan and sometimes it has came down to a few digs being thrown on the odd night out but the majority of the lads stick with their own teams when out drinking.Then when they meet up they will have a bit of banter with each other. This is why we can go anywhere in Ireland and have conversations with only gaels about most issues. These thugs are taking things to another level. This behaviour should not be tolerated but then again your hands are probably tied.

Look winsam plenty could be done but nothing will be.  Do you think these boys should represent Armagh at minor level? 
I find it very strange that no one seems to give a f**k, it's something I don't understand but sure we'll wait until someone is even more seriously hurt or killed. 

btw, do you think if the last issue between the 'bridge and cullyhanna was dealt with in a correct manner and bans dished out in a correct manner this would have happened? 

[corn02]

As a neutral at the Harps v mBawn game I can clear up the issue.

It was an all out brawl that invloved teams, subs and mentors (many trying to break it up). Both teams have a large number of 'mentors' on the sideline and the man must have got a hit from one of them as no fans jumped the wall. (I was keeping an eye on this as this is the norm when a big brawl starts out).

[winsamsoon]

No pints i totally agree with you if these guys that are on the minor panel were involved in this then they should be shown the door. I also agree with you when you say that if the other incident would have been cleared up properly it would have cleared the air. This incident still may have happened but it would have cleared the air.

Pints, I agree that whoever did this is not fit to represent the County Minor team, but unfortunately that decision cannot be based on rumour or conjecture.  I am not saying that they didn't beat this young lad up but unless there are definite impartial witnesses who can be relied upon to state that they did then no action can be taken against the "alleged" assailants.  It obviously was a very serious beating and therefore the police should be involved and if there is such an investigation which brings charges then this would be grounds to drop them, but to drop them on the basis of "well, we all know who did it" is not right.

[bennydorano]

I heard a rumour that Paddy Og is in line for an Ulster Council job, could explain the Secretary job being advertised in the paper last week??

QUOTE FROM SEANY

" Cullyhanna hate us too "

WHO DO THEY LIKE ??

If they can't find an outsider to pick on they will fight with each other.

A COWARDLY ACT.

BC1 i dont think uve been about south armagh 4 a while now jus maybe a few days at a time but if u were here u would know the knackers who did this..one of the boys even stole from this own club and another burn out a lorry a few months back like wat kind of c***ts do they breed down there??? we do know who it was ppl seen them and tat was jus 2 of the 15 tat battered this young guy.....

[brokencrossbar1]

Legs, I know what you are saying. The old dogs on the street argument is fair enough for an internet board, but in the real world decisions cannot be based on it.  I believe that if they are known and people can finger them correctly then great, but action against them without that is wrong.

Possibly, but any county that employs a full time County Administration Manager instead of a full time County Secretary has to change because of the new funding for the job. Paddy Og is an elected official on the County Board as well as the CAM so you'd assume that 2 + 2 = the new job. The craic will be in counties that have an elected County Secretary and an employed CAM.

[twotwocharlie]

Paddy og never held down a job in his life.

[illdecide]

Thats a good night for the U21 championship lads, it's a pity our's will be ruined by Mr Quigley(Silverbridge). It will save me having to come on in the morning complaining about him i might as well do it now
