A few things, MR2.  You keep mentioning over the last 8 years or something. I'd love to have the results in front of me but by fcuk, I don't think for a second you would have come out on top over us over 8 years.  I'll see if I can dig out the results somehow.  I think you're vision is being skewed by your two competitive senior championship games to forget that you weren't all that impressive outside of that.  The year you took them and got hammered by the KK team in the All Ireland IHC you were abysmal in that game.

But the real problem about you in particular and often with a lot of St Gall's men is that they think they are much bigger than their hurling boots.  Perhaps that is an arrogance that comes with winning a lot at the football but that's why it makes beating you the more sweet.  I noticed that arrogance in your last post as if you are a cut above the rest of the teams in Belfast. 

Maybe I'm mistaken, I've always enjoyed hurling against both teams as that's what you were allowed to do... As for the rest, hmm

From my memory, I can't remember you being any means shakes and certainly not better than what you term 'the rest, hmm' of Belfast teams.  You would be at Sarsfield's or GNMs level to be honest.  Don't think you are any better than that.  You beat Dunloy in the SHC and got beat by Cushendall narrowly. These are what has given you arrogance??  Give me a break.

But as I said, we'll more than likely confirm my opinion in our next outing on July 1st at Pairc Rossa.  Enjoy your trip to Ballycran next Wednesday, angry boy.

I don't know you from Adam and nor do I care, you posts are directed it seems to me, so I'll take a wild guess and think you are a reincarnation of the tools that have been on before, if you are going to debate hurling that's fine I'll engage with you, but if you want to be a WUM then sorry, no arrogance by me either, Rossa are the Premier club after all. Good luck to you to in all your games this year.... I mean that. Always liked Rossa and was in contact with your manager about refereeing the challenge games he has lined up on that run to Croker.... I've no axe to grind

Genuinely not a wind up merchant.  I've read this board for a long time and have just set this up.  What I do have a problem is with St Galls thinking they are better than what they are and I think it's arrogance.  Maybe I did get carried away in my last reply a bit but it drives me nuts listening to St Galls men in work and around the place walking around with this undeserved swagger about them when they talk about hurling and thinking they are a cut above the rest of the clubs in Belfast and especially over us over the last number of years.  I'll remind you of the arrogance I am referring to:

I think that's a bit disrespectful to other clubs and after playing senior hurling for around 8 years now, I've never been that impressed by you or have never had tougher games against you compared to games against the other Belfast clubs.

We'll take our defeats this year but we'll stay up.  I can't say the same for yourselves.

What would have been really funny only it was true was when Peter Robinson 'visited' West Belfast and he declared smugly it a 'really really positive thing for West Belfast and hopefully it'll bring loads and loads of jobs to the area' and then the very next day, RIAS axed hundreds of jobs in the area and then he was interviewed saying 'we will sit down with them and try really really hard to get something sorted'. Invest NI in the same news piece absolved RIAS of any obligation stating that they fully met their contractual commitments and when this was put to him he said ' well we will sit down and see what we can do'. If him going in as MP wasn't taking the people of West Belfast's votes for granted then i dont know what is. SF in West Belfast are a disaster. It has remained the most deprived electoral ward with the most health problems in the North during Gerry Adams' tenure and during Paul 'I'm trying really really hard' Maskey's tenure too. Disaster but sure lift him up shoulder high and stick a tricolour around him when he is re-elected and it'll maintain the facade.

I'd love to see Spotlight carry out an investigation into the community sector in West Belfast and expose the amount of  community funding being wasted by employing SF in fake community roles.

Electorally they will do well because they are an electoral machine and they will be exposed in the south for their phoniness. Easy to stick Pearse O'Doherty and Eoin O'Broin in front of a camera and shout socialism but in the North, they hide people like that away and attack the characters of other people like them who are in different parties like Gerry Carrol and Eamonn McCann.

Hypocritical unashamed predatorial busllying fascists.

Beginning to sound like you are a trolling stoop!

Definitely not. I'm a republican.

Why throw out such a suggestion? Wouldn't you prefer to debate what I actually wrote or in true shinner style, would you rather play the man?

Because you'd know. How long you been posting, eejit?

I wish that this guy was standing again so that he can be futher mocked and ridiculed.  He would make Thatcher seem communist.

Do you expect us to win the Volunteer cup?  We are being realistic about our development.  A reasonable expectation will be to be the best team in Belfast, to see how we fare against the rest and to avoid the drop to 1B while continuing to develop underaged players and integrate them into our senior structures.  Hardly a fall from grace.  We always knew that Intermediate and Division 2 wasn't our standard.

So should he succumb to the big parties and just not bother?

Put your ring on her finger and if she still loves you after that, she's a keeper.

We'd no team but only a few points between us at half time. But sure as long as we win the battles of Belfast this year and stay out of the bottom two, we'll be happy. So far so good.

Jesus your lads were awful hard to listen to when you're getting beat. Looking forward to the return leg already.

Well done Kerry. We need to get our shit together though.

I live in the West Belfast constituency and traditionally I vote SF but by fcuk they have no chance of getting my vote this time around. Gerry Carroll from PBP will be getting it. 

SF carrying out austerity and then calling them 'the Tory Cuts'. Dont see much Shinners falling victim to austerity between Stormont or community jobs

Plus, Gerry Adams was a sh.ite MP but I cringe every time I hear Paul Maskey speaking on the radio and on TV. Apparently he always tries 'really really really hard to get things done'. They are FF minus 50 years.

But anyway PBP are the only people i have heard with a complete anti-austerity voice and have heard onky positive messages.  I have already heard the shinners starting to bash him and his character. Typical bullying fascists.

Milltown Row 2, I seem to remember a certain debate on this regarding who was the better team between Rossa and St Galls and you taking it fairly bad that someone suggested Rossa were a better team than yourselves as it stood.

Would you care to admit that we are indeed better given our tanking we dished out to you?

Hello guys. If we want to improve at intercounty level, we need a league structure which facilitates high quality and regular competition combined with good coaching at EVERY club so that the fruits of their coaching labour will enter into this utopian high quality and regular league structure and raise standards.

The county board will always be sh.ite and make a balls of things.  I can't remember it ever doing anything different.  This one in particular are a cut above the rest in my opinion.  We have a Full Time secretary on £40,000 per annum who delegates everything to wee Joe and to the divisional board secretaries but will make it to the golf outings to take photographs.  Himself and our Chair have costed us THOUSANDS in court over Casement social club and have practically given our stadium to Ulster Council without getting ANYTHING back in terms of Dunsilly.  We have been DONE SILLY!!  They also allow the county manager to suspend league activity and other clubs to cancel games in lower leagues because one or two players are featuring as 9th subs.  It is utter madness!!!!

Time to get back to basics, concentrate on the fundamentals in the same way you would tell a child to if he wasn't hurling great.  Get back to our bread and butter.  Get a good league sturcture going and let the clubs get strong.  Allow them the space to do so.  Instead of investing gods amounts of OUR money (Croke Park Rugby and Soccer money grants that each county got and our fundraising to mention two examples).

Support smaller struggling clubs especially in Belfast.  But do bloody something!!!!
