Look Syd, Antrim are lucky to have one of the greatest hurlers Ireland has seen at the helm. Get full square behind the players and management and remember - if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Syd either you are a big Antrim man or you aren't! Which is it?! 

Wasn't at it but I'm sure their heads are down as they took a bit of a tanking after giving a decent game to both Laois and Carlow. Hopefully they stick at it as it's a step up and people shouldn't expect miracles this year.

I used to think Ready Salted were minging but with age I'm starting to take to them.

In no particular order:

Flamin' Hot Munster Munch
Wotsits
Tayto or Walker's Prawn Cocktail
McCoy's Salt and Vinegar
Bikers
Bacon Fries (especially in the pub!)

oh nearly forgot Royster's are the bollox too!

Steven Watson said on Friday evening that the game on Saturday would be the first game of football in Croke Park. Man dear but he is a hateful cnut.

I really don't think he'd have meant anything by it. Some people are so touchy. Maybe everyone in the media should use the terms "association football" and "gaelic football" just so everyone understands and we don't have any further diplomatic incidents! <ducks for cover> 

Mickey McShane has said everyone has to make sure they bring their autograph books and cameras... is that for Sambo or for the Kilkenny players?!

In Loughgiel tough and dirty mean the same thing! 

It is Ballycastle's 100 year aniversery. I would expect them to be going full of the pipe this year. There seem's to be a feel good factor in the town that something is going to happen soon. They do have a lot of promising underage Hurlers coming through. Maybe just a little light for heavy striking yet though.

The problem is we've heard all this before year after year. Nothing has ever happened and a new pitch and dressing rooms will not help them take on the usual suspects like Cushendall, Loughgiel, Dunloy and even teams like Glenariffe.

He was probably lying blocked in some ditch in Corkey after a heavy feed on St. Paddy's night!

Truth you should give Sambo a break. You're starting to sound as bad as Syd!!!

Skull it's the combination of false dawns and false promises that get on the goat of most Antrim fans. One year they'll run a "top tier" side close and the next year they'll get tanked by them. If Antrim were either consistently good, average or bad over a period of 3 or 4 years then we'd know exactly the level they are at and work from there.

But these blips were the team do well create the belief in some of the players, the fans and the management that they're a better team than they actually are and I think complacency sets in.

If they can't stay off it when they're on official county business then it would be safe to say there'll be lots of swallying done tomorrow!

I think "going on the rip" has been one of the main issues with "the town" over the past 10-15 years. If they stayed out of the pub they might do more than make promises every year!

The good old days are nearly 20 years ago now so it's time he moved on and work with the players he has as I don't think the likes of Humpy, Clute and Niall Patterson will be making a comeback anytime soon!

Newbie are you in to troll or are you gonna make a contribution (you're obviously from the Dall!)?

Also, Sambo didn't exactly set the world alight at the helm in Cushendall a few years ago so people are entitled to their reservations about how this "dream team" will perform.
