You're the one that hasn't got a clue. Ask yourself why it was called off in the first place.

NAG1 you're correct. I've just watched the replay. It was all St John's fault!! I'll post the video later.

Wouldn't know what that means but typical from you.

First mistake is the game was started again after the ambulance left  (at least a 40 minute stoppage) Still 14 mins of the first half to be played and it was starting to get dark. At the end when it was abandoned I couldn't tell you what happened on the far side as it was too dark.

Damon McMullan is from Loughgiel. Tidy corner back esp under the dropping ball.

Is Eoghan Campbell and Ryan McCambridge not U21 as well? Christy wasnt listed as one of the subs, maybe im wrong.

Severe lack of interest in the county team in general. Its a pity as there was a decent crowd there to watch the game.

Paddyjohn i wouldnt blame you for leaving as it was pretty poor. i went home and watched the end of our senior footballers game and it was better entertainment in the 20mins i was there than that whole match.

Ryan mc c is away I think. Eoghan c isn't u21 and christy came on as a sub.
Wee Betty was good when brought out to the middle

Will Cushendalls big guns be back for end of August for the championship. All is very quiet.
I hear shorty is training a bit. Will he be able for championship.

Any updates on this weekends matches. Ourselves and Dall had good wins in Co down. And I see the town caused a bit of an upset beating dunloy - were teams at full strength

Doesn't appear that you've too many people backing your argument Brocky so maybe you should consider why that might be the case

I think I'm entitled to my opinion and it's still the same. He blew for too many frees.
Not an easy job to do in fairness but with experience you should improve!
Regarding coaching in loughgiel there's certainly no coaches telling our players to be dirty.

Can't figure that one out hurling balls. Loughgiel missing at least 6 starters. I'd say cdall maybe 4 if you count lads that might not play this year.
As for the ref I thought he was awful.

Wonder if you could enlighten us bit further broky, specific incidents?

I'm with hurlingstick on this one just curious.

Was a game played with very little intensity on both sides the sending off seemed to strangely work in LGs favour.

The game was ruined by constantly blowing for petty fouls. The big problem I have is his inconsistent fouls. He gave dall a free for dings accidental pull on his own man and gave us nothing when a dall man done the same.
He needs to let the game flow a but and not try to be some super ref by blowing for all these technical minor fouls.

Dammed if he does dammed if he doesn't....he's not there to "let it flow" that's down to the players no??

Minor foul? Explain that one?

You know well what I mean mr2. Anyway does 53 frees in the one match not tell it's own storey. Especially when it wasn't an intense or dirty game.

Dall won by 2 points. Both teams understrentgh. Not a great match to be honest spoilt mostly by a referee who doesn't know how to let it go. To be honest it's one of the worst displays of refereeing I've seen in a long time.
Somebody please have a word with him as it does nothing to better hurling in this county.

The issue is the speed and intensity of our hurling.
We need to get it installed in everyone that you let it go and lose this soccer attitude which is creeping in.

Valid enough HS. I don't think it's just that either. The refs at times blow for little things that are probably frees but you do see the fouled player carrying on and then stopping as the ref blew it.
There is definitely a bit of both.
My ideal game is when you forget who the referee was and it's all about the hurling.
I think to progress to the proper intensity and speed of hurling this is something that has to change and it has to start with the refs.
Even talking to both teams before the game to set out what way they intend to referee the game.

Not a believer in telling teams how I'm refereeing it.... I blow for a foul I see and move on... I won't see every free nor will I keep everyone happy... If it flows its down to the teams... Worst thing that comes from players if a little melee happens... You caused that ref!! Ah feck off

Do you agree there is an issue. Be it refs or players with too many silly Frees that affect the speed of our games?
