Yea be interesting to know a Cargin perspective on their poor results in Ulster.

id say  your right MR2,  tired legs, played a a final plus a replay,  plus 8+ mins injury time when they had been 4 points up.... which forced extra time.

Duckser must of requested fergie time

Not an argument just a conversation whilst all u other boys were away picking spuds.

Heard John Carron was back in panel. ruari mccann, owen mckeown, chris mcveigh,dermott mcerlain, ruari scott  and Conal Delargy all got texts to attend an in house game to get a look at them. Other than that iv nothing fresh

BS can you shed any light

palyed reserve c'ship and came on v cargin in toome. I was there when visiting in laws so saw it for myself. But sure it doesnt matter. The wee mans away to the place he never should have left.

Cranfield, did uns not have another guy signed for you as last couple years from lissan or somewhere?

Thats a lie. That lad played reserve cship, reserve league and came on a number of senior games. I think he may however have transferred back to Antrim according to St.Comgalls men. Dont think his move panned out the way he wanted.

Cranfield how can we be sure you are a creggan supporter and not an ex White Hill'ian?

How can we be sure Bannside is an out and out pg1 man and not an ex All-Saints top scorer?

im taking dunsilly king at his word, if creggan can pull men from Whitehill they may heave stretched on out to the antrim area and if im not mistaken they had a wee lad from st.comgalls who signed last year? seen him play few reserve games and come on a few senior games??

Dunsilly King, for a creggan man u speak alot of sense. lol.

Bannside i love your optimism though i fear sometimes you are blinded by it.  PG1 are still a while off yet. they are a good hard working bunch of lads but lack any pedigree up front, and when the games in the balance they lack the know how to get them over the line. They may not fear anyone, but likewise there is not many in the league that fear them. I hope they stay grounded and and kick on from last year, though i suspect a few of their lads may get ahead of themselves. A bit like creggan did after that final last year. The build up to that, reaching the final, winning an O'C cup and level expectation for this year past really took it out of them.

where you had lamh dearg who were disapointed with the year they had prior , played like men possessed this year.

Hats off to cargin, they are a hateful enough bunch but deserve alot of credit. as meat loaf would say... "2 out of 3 (cough) 4 out of 5 aint bad"

Aslo to steer of the topic, i heard Lenny had an in house game on Sunday past, where he had called a few South West players up to attend (outside of the panel) along with a few others. Any man any insight to how that went and if any of the players invited on Sunday even went or performed? Could name drop a few but would rather hear it from someone who has better inside knowledge

Well to be honest i would say St.Galls and Moneyglass are Cargins two rivals, though i take your point regarding whitehill. Last time i mind them playing Creggan at a senior level was in C'ship in toome when they came out victors that day. Couple years later i recall 3 or 4 of them Whitehill men were togging out for the Kickhams. But your right, up to each club to call whilst keeping their own players at the same time.

Bannside, tell us all, whens this Portglenone team going to come into fruition? Its been a brave while since that u21 c'ship/ Intermediate they won and these guys have had one decent year (this year), if you would call having 4 x drawn games in chsip a good year.

Comes back to the same issue that i think Creggan have had, why pump money into management teams who have no record of winning championships. Why not go for a man with a proven record with the players you have? You may as well be pissing against a wall. Thats why i think Cargins had success. Couldnt beat St.Galls, went and got brennan, then cassidy. I think you must have too much money to throw about or just have no faith in your own coaches

Cranfield lets not bring Cargin into it, leave them for another day. I was just making  the point that, the victory Whitehill got at the weekend would of been a good bit sweeter given the players they have lost to you in the past and the rivalry youns have had over the years. At the end of the day Whitehill are Creggans real rivals. Historically and geographically,

Also bannside regarding paying management, take creggans appointments from Mickey Moran all them years ago to Madden more recently. Plus whatever Martin McElhennon got for coaching. For an investment made over a 12 year period id be expecting more of a return other than 2 leagues and 2 ocathan cups. Especially when antrim was a 2 or 3 horse race over the years. Theyve probably blew every other club in antrim  out of the water if we are talking about money spent on management. No other club in antrim comes near them. I dont think McNulty could do any worse than the other managers as Creggan have a very good crop of players. Though agree with Bannside, can he take them that step further....I dont think so

Cranfield you were hard done by, horrible way to lose. From a neutrals perspective great game. Creggan would have fancied themselves if they had of had a fit panel from start of the year with quinn and small imparticular suffering bad injuries. It was a good victory for whitehill, one they as a club needed with all the work they have been doing they deserve a final. Especially when Creggan have stolen so many of their players over the years im sure whitehill from a clubs perspective are quite happy to get 1 of on their old rivals.

Bannside, any truth on Owen D stepping down in his role with PG1 under Dillon? Also any truth in Dillon having talks with Lavey and Newbridge behind scenes

Peter John seems to be talking about a specific situation within Whitehill which seems to be personal to him. If any clubs committee agree to take on players from other clubs to strengthen their own squads within competitions then its up to that club to take whatever comes off the back of that. And agree with NatSoSaff, them guys who dont get picked at u20 level and drop off reserve just because 2/3 outside players come in, dont have the right attitude in the first place.

Cargin won the minor and Senior this year, and had to call 6/7 players out of retirement to even field an u20 team, but the 10/11 players that had trained all year, you can be sure the majority of them will play senior football at some stage. All about attitude, all clubs have drop outs at that age, but its the ones with a strong mentality which you want to remain playing
