Once again St Galls do the county proud. Maybe not five star all round, but ten out of ten for the one thing they have in spades - BELIEF. A credit to all true Antrim Gaels.

A lot of vg individual displays but Sean Kelly, Niblock and all three Mc Gorts showed the way. Aidso also maturing into a top class player too. A few of CJ`s points were outrageous. Well done.

You cant say someone is maturing into a top class player until they do it consistently at inter county level.

well done to st galls yesterday,  we just came uo short at the end,  our first half was our downfall.  credit to st galls they kept popping over the points.  they play good hard fair football and no old shite out of them like some other teams would.  would love to see them go on and go the whole way this year.  good luck to st galls.

Div 1 is a tight as a virgen's honeypot--anyone of 6/7 out of 10 could be one of the 2 to go down

 Gold you're a real nugget of sh.te!

[Cruncher]

Inside knowledge - now white has priced himself out of the running for the job mc sherry is the new favourite for the antrim job with bradley and delargy unlikely outsiders!

[Maximus Marillius]

he's busy is rafferty still with S,niell?  or will he make his way back to his second club and make a dream paring of McCartan and Rafferty

raff for Antrim

Either would be more than acceptable, but nearlymad is referring to a Derry man.

A Derry man? How do you get that from my postings?

I didn't, a source close to the good doctor told me.

It's gets very interesting all this talk the Doctor and his friends.

Bradley joins race for Saffrons post
18 October 2008


Derry native Liam Bradley has thrown his hat in the ring to become Antrim's next football manager.

The Glenullin clubman, who is the father of Derry stars Paddy and Eoin, is understood to be the fourth candidate to join the race for the Saffrons job after recently ending his pursuit of the Derry position.

The O'Donovan Rossa clubman managed Glenullin to their first county championship in 22 years last season, and managed Antrim in the earlier part of this decade

Bradley joins Frank Delargy, Conor MacSherry and Brian White in the hunt to succeed Jody Gormely, with interviews conducted by the Antrim County Board expected to commence next Wednesday night


Also heard that Niall Conway is to be his coach

being pedantic, its funny how he couldnt manage to do it as manager prior to this and that he was unsuccessful this season as Banagher manager and in Banagher he is considered to be a failure in comparison to what Delargy did the previous season with the players focussing more on hurling (this year they concentrated on football only to the detriment of the hurling team)
I'd have to say that it was Madden that was the manager and the guiding light bringing the championship to glenullin, and while Bradly is a great gael and a passionate football man, he aint what antrim need either.
I am glad that Cass got the Derry job but Bradley couldnt have been a serious candidate amongst serious football people. Maybe in time , but def not yet.
imo
