Thought I would have drawn out his cheer leader by now.  Have to say that's what I thought a selector did. Ie help at training and on the day.  Hey u learn something everyday on this site.

He's a selector. The clue is in the title.

I oh I see he's a selector but he doesn't select. Are you trying to say he helps to source new talent, that's more like a scout

Mr2 here's the real problem

Good man mr2
If you weren't doing it on Monday your Certainly giving yourself a rub now. No complaints , I said our lads should t be mouthing so they learned the hard way. Maybe if every ref acted the same they would know better maybe not. That was a bit of crack by the way next time ill put on a few smileys.

Putting structures in place is exactly what are paid Development/ Officials are in place to do. Their job is not to be out coaching 24/7 but putting in place things to actually help the coaches who are on the ground, improve them and recognise the work that they put in.

Development of correct competitions structures and development squads is a key part of this which is being neglected but that takes leadership and it is sadly lacking in this respect, from both Antrim and Ulster level.

Yes that's all true but what I would like to know is. If we ever got a CB that was more proactive with the clubs about sorting the problem. Would the clubs respond as club attitude towards county teams are not as positive as better counties. I do t think we can draw direct comparisons with say Kilkenny as there minors can participate in all club activities and county because they half an our away max from training, challenge and matches. Our lads spend more time on buses than they do hurling. So we need different structures. We can moan about the CB presently because they are not doing a good job but what if they came with a good plan, is there enough good will to implement it at club and college activities expense

Heard that it would have been very close if Dunloy had taken half there chances. Missed a lot of good point scoring chances and a clear goal chance too.  Ciaran Clarke scored 2 goals from 20m frees I heard too.  Think that about 8/9 of that team played U21 last year and they were missing 2 more from injury. A lot of those boys have senior experience too so hopefully they can make a good go of defnding the title.

Yeah match was closer than scoreboard suggest. As said earlier we lost our main free taker to injury, he would have popped over the seven misses easy. We where on top for the first 15 but kept shooting wides. Our boys to Lippy about frees and the ref used every opportunity to massage his ego and moved to ball in for a Clarke special. Ballycastle where more composed and clinical on there build up to scores in the forward lines so well deserved.

Just reading here on sambos section of Antrim post. No minor manager and not fielding WTF

I think this is made even worse when it's combined with the advances made in other counties.
The fact the people are being paid good full-time salaries during tough economic times.
Why?
Well those other counties made proper appointments!
They also see the bigger picture and go about things in a more professional manner - we have some sub-standard paid officials who for too long have not been held to account becasue our clubs have ensure we will remain the best at senior in Ulster.

Is it me or are all clubs feeling more disenfranchised with the county board than usual.  Us the clubs have to take some responsibility to as there seems to be a lack of interest for the county scene. This is going to rub of on young players and possible managers. Pity we didn't have a strong character at county level to maybe approach the clubs, Ask them what can be done to improve relations. Or maybe that's not the problem at all. Just not enough good will there ( clubs and county )for under age development. I think we have some smashing young hurlers but if they are going to compete we need annual programme every year like Sambo And woody done with shorty, graffin hippy etc at minor level. This is all very sad

Right everyone cam down, there's been worse things said and more personal things coming from LG posters in the past. Having said that if the big man was reading all this he might be offended so let's just forget it
What about hurling what's everyone's thoughts on the u21 games comming up. Are the county boys allowed to play

The bitterest lemons are plucked from the tree too soon, I thought everyone knew that N_a_h. 

I'm glad you agree skull.

What about the the seagulls and the trawler, you all right there Eric

Lots of early season lemons over by the Dall by the look of it.

Your right a bit personal( didnt mean any offense) you stop talking about other clubs and lemons and we will stop talking chips and loughgeil

Same rule for all then

Stop talking in riddles. From what i read it was your quote. Either stand by it or tell who said what

Work this riddle out

P J , s. success isn't down to the fact that he can eat all the chips you can bring him. It's down to the fact he brought in a really good chip eater.

This threads making me hungry

It's only costs a pound mr2. 

I only buy it if my picture is in it

That pound better spent on a pastie to go with your chips eehh

Big Patterson has eaten some chips over the years, PJ and his da also have managed a few I'd say lol

LOL you should speak to Niall he owns newsagents in cloughmills he might give you some discount on Antrim post. We would all be fat down here but chasing sheep burns up the calories

anything bad

Just read it there, it's not to bad. All county stuff, even some good points about not hurling for 70 minutes. I would doubt if be wrote this to be honest. If he did its not to bad

[as for fading in the last ten minutes dont even go there]

I remember that game last year. Limerick people almost embarrassed about the decisions. His performance could see Antrim relegated today, that's not right. The majority of those frees - would hey have been awarded during the KK v Cork game? No chance. Even the last free to put Offaly two up in injury time, looked like Graffin made a great challenge

nothing wrong with graffins challenge he got the ball first. as for fading in the last ten minutes dont even go there. from the very first minute he was as it. he blew Eddy Mc Closkey twice for over carrying when his man was trying to mount him. the list is endless. Olly Baker and his crew are away down the road tonight with our points and the fault lays at one man,s  feet

What do you mean don't even go there?? We were beat 0-06 to 0-00 in that time! Blame the ref all you want but you're only kidding yourself.

there half backs caught some great balls in the last ten but they fouled our forwards as much not that the ref noticed. we should have been 4 up at half time if he was playing it square. bar simon acting badly after he won th  free the rest was a digrace. go there if you want then but i,mm looking at it over 70 minutes and that tool bag cost us at least 6 points.
