I agree with Bannside 110%. Until the clubs stand up and say enough is enough we won't improve. To many delegates go to county meetings just to show representation from a club or maybe to get away from the other half and don't contribute anything to the meeting.

Questions have to be asked why did we appoint a man who was managing in Derry Div2 last year and wasn't good enough for the a Derry job? Was there an oul mates act on the go between him and the county?

Then again who is to say that it would of been any different under Malachy O'Rourke? Certain players seem to think that unless they have their name in the press week in week out they are not a proper county player. A big ego is an awful thing.

I would be happy enough with a few years in div4 under a decent management with a plan, who will build from the foundations over 3/4 years and make this county competitive.

It's true. Div 3 Football still aren't out to clubs yet Andytown News has them printed. Shambles but don't dare slag off the county admin or question them as club managers and players don't need to plan holidays or change shifts.

McManus sent off. Seriously lads, all joking aside. When is Ryan going to take charge of this team? Neil is a brilliant hurler on his day. But he's been out of form for at least 6 months. He shouldn't be near that team. Never mind captain.

Your a bitter and twisted man!!

I see county Antrim GAA in the news for all the wrong reasons again;

A tad embarrassing. Laughable in fact!

Looks to be that croke park confirmed it. Happy days.

Aye, great news. Slap it up Ballysaggart but suppose we have our fair share of clubs that like to appeal when they don't get things their own way.

I see a few county players having a pop at UUJ for not supplying a bus or tops to the Freshers who were playing in an all Ireland semi final. Surely can't be right!

Do you have any substance to prove this theory about Neil McManus?

Maybe the panel don't want Watson on board.

Experience counts for a whole lot at that level. They could suprise a few lads.

Always hard with a young team against more experienced opposition. Be interesting to see how they fare.

No reason it couldn't happen to them. Not sure of the amount dual players on that team. Did it not happen a few years back in your club MR2?

Awful news about the ref of the Ahoghill game yesterday, passed away this morning.

Didn't hear about that, that's terrible, heart attack? Was listening to the game yesterday and by all accounts was having a decent game. Ya never know the minute ffs

We are a bit of a yo yo club, paddy, we'll compete for a few seasons then drop down, there are plenty like us. You can sustain it for a few seasons while everyone is on a high but if the talent isn't coming through it eventually goes back to being mainly a one code club that does hurling on the side!!


Like quite a few clubs. Pity as St Galls seem to have a lot of talent. Much coming through?

Yip. I mind going to watch my club play in those indoor tournament when they started around 2000/2001 and he was in charge of their underage set up then. Some committment to the club, I guess that's the beauty of the GAA. Would be super to see them go ahead and complete the job.

Yer man McCann. Has 2 sons on the team. Has been the force behind Creggan Hurling for years, he more than most deserves a day in the sun. Fair play.
