Slim, was talking to a top Cargin man last nite and as you say, JC is nailed on for another year - unless he dosent want it, and that dosent sound like john charles, does it!

On another subject, sounds like CJ had some game yesterday. Have to say he is a real talent. Milltown,how good was he yesterday, and one more question. Would you have won without him?

Finally, see the milky bar kid is back in town. Is this a step forward or backwards, or does no-one really give a xxxx!

Antrim / managers

Culchie, nothing for or against Delargy, but his Kilrea record was particulary impressive. Something like 19th to 5th in three seasons! Three years at any club is a long time, and you arnt going to be everyones friend at the end of it, so it would depend on who you were talking too. How they do last year without him? If he cant resolve his differences with Portglenone, then I cant see him struggling to find a decent club. There isnt exactly a large queue out there of people qualified to do these jobs, or willing to take all sorts of abuse from all sorts of people! Portglenones loss could be someone elses gain!
Hugh Mc gettigan is a great lad, good coach, organiser and motivator, but he would need to be very keen, or the money would need to be very good to take Glenravel or Rasharkin. JC back in at Cargin. Mc Toal hard at it already at St Pauls. Moran at Creggan.Any word out there at St Galls or Lamd Derg?

Delargy might have overstepped the mark looking for Magill, but he would still be a good appointment for portglenone. Sure Culchie, didnt he do a decent job at Kilrea, and could hold his head up after a year at the loup. After all the big hullobo and fuss( and ok, he shouldnt have been poaching, but theres not a word about Boyd and Mc Cluskey leaving the same club) maybe he will tell them to shove the job! Im sure it wont change his life!

Sausilito boy, if you believe everything that Magill tells you, you will up as big an eejit as he is!

And seeing youre from the over-achieving hotbed of Tir Na Nog, whats the crack with all these players leavin. Rats deserting a sinking ship comes to mind. Do you play yourself?

Hello to you too Culchie. just trying to get the swing of this...new to the board and all that!

Magill wouild be a good catch for portglenone,his club are going nowhere fast! Wasnt it his mother, Mairead Mc atamney that put portglenone on the map? Would that not be a basis for a move to a club with better aspirations? Personally dont agree with the expenses thinng, tho Id imagine throughout the country there are expenses paid for travelling longer distances, etc.

What about Boyd or Mc Cluskey. Will they be an addition to mg. Heard Boyds name mentioned in despatches, but what kind of player is mc cluskey? And why all the talk about Randalstown players on the move. Whats the crack with that?

also i heard the other nite that frank delargy is the new portglenyin boss an paddy mcneill who trained the county seniors last year, is training them. u heard it here first !!
heard hugh mcgettigan has been approached bout a few jobs aswell!
anyone else hear any news of new managers in the county, who will be takin galls next year, mcgourtys da maybe?

I have a feeling this won't be happening if what I've heard is true, mind you you couldn't make it up. According to our chairman, this Delargy fella approached one of our "stars" asking him to move to Portglenone and he would pay him expenses! Disgraceful you might think, but it gets funnier.

Apparently Delargy didn't even have the job confirmed when this happened, and Portglenones committee found out what he had been doing they promptly ruled him out of the running (to their credit). This came from a call from the Portglenone secretary to our chairman to let him know they knew nothing about Delargys tapping up so I'd say its true enough.
