St brigids choked again also

How did they choke in this final or the one versus Dunloy? I was at both games and the better team won both matches. That can happen. Losing doesn't equal choking.

Also going be be joining the club God willing in October.

Hoping the wife will be breastfeeding but we know that's not always possible. Seen quite a few people recommend the Tommee Tippee prep machine on here. Had a juke on amazon there and came across the one below. Is this the one folk would recommend or is there another model made by Tommee Tippee that's better? I'm clueless with all this so any help is appreciated.

Yes, that's the one you're after.

It's been like that for a few weeks now. It's embarrassing reading it now. I like a bit of banter from now and then on a social media account but it's every post and they are taking the piss out of individuals. It's like a kid has been given it.

I was wanting to follow the game at the weekend against lgiel but quickly realised the account wasn't going to doing anything other than post shite.

Couldn't make the match so like you had a scan of Twitter for the score and couldn't believe some of the stuff I was reading. Maybe I'm out of touch with the modern 'banter' but like you just found it embarrassing.

What happened to the Ballycastle social media coverage? Used to be one of the best accounts in the County, looks like they handed the reigns to a 16 year old at the weekend.

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

Seniors played into Cushendalls hands. They were better team on the day. Good luck to them in Ulster.

Up the Shamrocks!

Hoping for two wins, would be happy with one (either game) but big test in each.

Good luck lads.

I think I'm showing my age but had to unfollow the Antrim GAA social media accounts. Worse than my wee brother and sister on a night out.

[when you start drinking in the house, that's the beginning of the end]

when you start drinking in the house, that's the beginning of the end, seen far too many people go this way and there is no way back for most.

the pub is meant to be a social meet up, not somewhere to get hammered or worse arrive there hammered.

young ones i know now go out with a fiver (which in my day bought 6 pints  ), because they drink their fill of cheap booze from the off sales before heading anywhere

Wild generalisation. I keep Guinness in the fridge and maybe drink 1 tin every week. My wife drinks a glass of wine with her dinner every now again. Hardly the end of the world.

I used to drink a good bit in my younger days. Decreased a good bit when I met my wife, even more so when we got married and is minimal now that we have kids. Maybe 2-3 blowouts per year at a wedding, GAA function or odd stag.

Drink can be great socially but also a curse. Best of luck to anyone struggling.

Place your bets please gentlement.

I don't think you know how bookmaking works.

Jesus lads, Loughgiel stopped Dunloy from hurling in much the same way that Cushendall did to Loughgiel a couple of years back (fair play to them).  You'd think Loughgiel had committed the crime of the century - grow up lads!

Exactly. Good win and all it was but counts for nothing unless we win the final.

jesus shame on loughgiel for not leaving 20 yards in front of lightening fast forwards. catch a grip will you!!! we set up the only way they could to win and dunloy didn't adapt,  dunloy was always waiting on that spark or that goal coming, and it didn't.  our backs were excellent as were dunloys only for the fouling,  Shorty should have walked and thank god it didn't effect the outcome of the game.  wouldn't give the ref any grief what so ever.  As far as the "were dunloy not expecting it" i think over confidence paid a price here. Cdall to win with plenty to spare next time round and set up a serious final.  anywhere but ballycastle please!!!!

You call it confidence I would call it complacency but I know where your coming from
Sorry for not coming on here on throwing lots of praise at LG but the general feeling round Dunloy is we didn't get of the bus and that's why we lost.
LG fully deserved to win because all the Neymar stuff wouldn't have mattered if we played like we can

not wanting or expecting praise. but to think we were showing up to let your young guns do as they wanted was silly. and as someone said the sideline could have changed it up. id say complacency and over confidence was a factor but regardless our boys wanted it more, weather wouldn't have changed the hunger, we've plenty good enough lads on the dry day too.     someone said last week dunloy was going to blow holes in loughgiel. we went in hungry dunloy went in over confident.  that's the main factor

Didn't hear one person in Dunloy say they where going to blow holes in LG did I not tell you last week it was 50/50 so your way off the mark there.
Your spot on about the hunger LG wanted it more
I would usually go to the final because I like a good game of hurling but I think I will give it a miss for the same reasons I don't go to a Ulster football match

If any team in the county were going up against Dunloys forwards they'd set up defensively. If you don't you'll get cleaned out. Can't fault Loughgiel for doing it. Were Dunloy not expecting it? Tactics are a bit like dugouts, not everything goes the way you want.

Dunloy where ready for a sweeper but we just never got of the bus
Sure they have played games during the league  against sweepers
So if the best way to win a match is stay in your own half and slow the game down by pretending to be half dead  then this wonderful game is heading down the bogball path

You are taking it too hard I feel. It was a championship game that wasn't played on your terms, it happens. Your management could easily have changed things if they wanted.

Dunloy were not as disciplined in the tackle as usual and were wild a few times. A symptom of their frustration at how the game was playing out I feel but a bit rich to then slag off Loughgiel players for going down injured for getting dirty belts.

what was the free count at the end of the game anyway?

game had no pace to it at all and was all stop start. Lgiel got their tactics spot on and we didnt. Defensibly we didnt do a lot wrong, our keeper had very little to do the whole game but it was the amount of frees we gave away killed us. Up front we just didnt do enough work.

you learn lessons from it and move on.

Exactly that. Dunloy will have learnt a lot (both players and management) from the Slaughtneil game last year and yesterday. Plenty of big days for them in coming years.

These ultra defensive systems have served football well since  Donegal's won at all costs!

Loughgiel scored 6 points more than Dunloy. Wonder how they managed that if they were so defensive?

Plenty of comment on Dunloy ill discipline, the venue, the ref but is anyone going to call out the anti hurling tactics employed by Loughgiel! 8 defenders ffs, persistent time wasting and breaking up the play.

Christ. Imagine not getting into a shoot out and leaving space for an electric fast forward line. How dare they!
