I would imagine they will be on ticketmaster as well so they can get their cut.

Casement will get an allocation of tickets but im not sure as to how they will be handed out. Dublin Meath is a massive draw even in the credit crunch so I would expect there will be a full house.

Just wondering as an Antrim fan, What sort of turn to expect for the Dubs for the Hurling before the Meath game, will it be a trickle of fans in and the late rush for the football as usual or will the dubs get there early to cheer on their hurlers?

I think that in other years Cork would have taken these challenges in their stride but the fact that they have no hurling done means that they have to go hard at it.

I think Antrim are every bit as good hurlers as Dublin but I dont know if we have the work done to compete with them. I hear the tickets are going to be hard enough to come by with it being paired with the football.

Lets just get to the point and be clear about it. The match on saturday was puke football. How many times did the cliftonville team from various areas of the pitch from free kicks waste the ball. Was there at any stage more that 3-4 passes in one move?

It is absolutely cruel that they (BBC UTV & Establishment) percieve this sport to be valuable enough to promote in a live TV broadcast. I have no caring for Linfield/ Cliftonville or any of the sectarian crap that goes with this football. I am looking at this from a purely sporting standard and it was dire as is 99.9% of the games week in week out in the league.

Time to wake up to this fact and reduce the coverage that this is rubbish and that 95% of the population couldnt care less where Institute the glens or Bangor finished in the league table.

Cant agree with the players you have named (would argue why but dont want to get into a personal thing) Glensman but I can see your arguement.

I am behind them as well believe me they will need all the help they can get, although the result against cork yesterday for dublin should give them some heart.

SCB, do you think that was down to the management or the fact that these were the pick of the talent coming through?

Also BH is onyl getting back to the form he was in before he left the scene.

Skull this is what I have been going on about for ages with this Management team, one of them actually claimed shorty had been in for the scan and all when he hadnt been? Now what is that all about?

I agree that the focus should be on having a young antrim hurler rehabed correctly and fit for the rest of the year, not rushed back half fit and the injury prolonged. In all seriousness bar Graffin who has improved as a player under the regime. I strain to think of one other player that has progressed. I hate being negative I really do but time to face facts.

True enough Skull

Dont think anyone could name the antrim team including S&W at the moment. Shorty doesnt look like he is going to make. Pinkie has a broken finger/ Hand as does Karl McK. Plus even if they had a full compliment god knows what team they would pick anyway.

Rossa have just been a shambles for the last few years so I dont know if I would count them in that but I do take your point.

Any other results?

Is there any other team that anyone can think of that treats the league with more contempt than Cushendall?

Derry losing to New York didnt screw things up for Antrim who got a trip out to play them in the Ulster final later in the year!   

I see bradley sticking to his guns on CJ

Limerick Hurlers were team building on the Antrim coast all weekend, some of the pubs must hav forgot to put the clocks back or they were working on a different time zone altogether! 

I have to say boys we are getting a little carried away here.

OM yes I agree it spilt over on the odd occasion which isnt great but give me that anyday to a drab no one cares who wins football final.

On the pull across fogarty it was wrong yes but if you watch the tipp player pulled out of it half way through the swing and it was minal contact, wrong yes but no need for a suspension.

Tommy Walsh IMO have a freak moment and I think every player has one or two that they regret instantly and I think the ref actually read that one correctly. I am by no means a fan of his but I think it should be left at that.
