'Going by the SG report the number 12 was Dermot Mcerlain hes been a county minor and u21 the past few seasons very good player great in the air'

Yes it was Dermot he's a super player and was very impressive last night.

At 9 points down with all that's been happening off the pitch we could have threw the head up but we didn't. Fantastic group of players and hopefully the result last night will be enough to take us into the A

Dungiven better team and fully deserved the win.

McHugh a class act he caused Slaughtneil a lot of problems and did Richie Mullan and they both caused us serious problems yesterday

We were a bit flat but that group of players owe us nothing they have done our club proud this year and no doubt will do for many years to come

Paul McKeever was a gentleman on and off the pitch. A tragic loss to his family and everyone who knew him

'Obviously everyone appreciates what referees do in the GAA but being a referee doesn't automatically make you infallible or above scrutiny. And when a referee doesn't take the necessary action to protect players welfare then you are quite within your rights to question them'

Very well put I could not agree more

'It seems to be the thing for a certain club at the minute to give off about refs!'

And what certain club would that be?

If a player is bad he gets slated if the referee like in Sundays case was brutal and missed numerous red cards he will be slated too. Not rocket science

'Donegal? Why in caps?'

Why not?

McManus the class act in a poor game of hurling.

Ballycran free taking was as bad as I have ever seen at Senior level and how they beat Slaughtneil by  the score they did I do not know they were brutal and could easily have had 3/4 men sent off but the man from DONEGAL in the middle.. I'll say no more

Graffin with bad luck again hopefully he will be back on the pitch again soon never nice to see an injury like that to any player.

'We'd a debate with Antrim for the last few months about a game that wasn't played and we were to be awarded the points but for some reason werent'

The reason being Dunloy offered 3 dates which didn't suit Ballygalget so CCC then randomly fixed a date and because Dunloy didn't field on that date you then received the 2 points not just because you were all ready relegated. And Dunloy also lost a point for not fielding.

'Sunday wasn't our day. Minors very unlucky, great wee team'

They are a great team surely and I thought start of the year we would win hurling in a canter with football being the tougher one to capture. Proved the opposite and over 120 minutes only 1 point was the difference between the 2 and that says it all. I was delighted we got over the line as it really could have went either way

'I think the question he asked was there any coached paid. And there have been, don't want to mention the peoples names as I don't think its fair as its common practise now days'

I can assure you anyone from Dunloy who has managed or coached at any code has never received a penny.

When on the rare occasion someone from outside the club comes in and coaches etc they will get paid just like every other club in the GAA. You wouldn't expect anyone to travel to another club and put in hours and get nothing for it

Not Sure about Sean Murray and his PRO skills. Oh wait he isn't the PRO 

Sean Kelly does a fantastic job he covers matches day and daily and his social media output is as good as any PRO

Congratulations to Cargin on their win. Possibly the worst Antrim Senior Football final I was ever at but a win is a win and at the end of the day Cargin will not care how they got it and they went home with the trophy.

Really glad the minor game was on beforehand to see football the way it should be played by a fantastic Dunloy minor team. The score line flattered st galls the gap between the 2 was a lot more that the 9 point margin at the end

'Should be aligned with the leagues, the thing being even this year, the best div 2 teams didn't actually play IFC they played SFC in st Bridget's and Aldergrove. Makes a bit of a mockery that you've 2 div 2 teams playing senior yet a mid table div 1 playing intermediate, not all the clubs fault the county should set it out at the start of the year'



St Brigids didn't play intermediate as they won it last year and had to go up even though they asked to be kept in intermediate but rightly so they were told no

Aldergorve did play in it but were beat comfortably in the premlim stage by Gort Na Mona

St Endas worthy favourites but Gort Na Mona will give it a good rattle and might surprise a few.

St Endas from a competing point of view are a SW club but location is more Belfast so its really 50/50 for me.

Reading a fine article on social media about these fights during/after matches etc and about the passion from clubs. It did make a lot of sense. Our PRO got a mention in it though maybe a bit that should have been left out 

Hearing plans to play Minor A final before IFC final at Corrigan Park. Surely Dunloy would like it a bit more neutral
