[Mol an oige agus tiocfaidh si]

Heard the county minor manager ripped through the team after game last weekend.  Heard by parents picking kids up!
How the Down team shouldn be on same pitch, lazy bunch of so and sos, not fit to wear the antrim jersey.

Who do the minors play next?

"Mol an oige agus tiocfaidh si"  Praise the young and they will flourish/thrive - He's really setting a good example to young lads, he should not be anywhere near them if you ask me   I am seriously thinking of writing a letter of complaint, but sure who would act on it, the Casement Mafia?   I hear some parents/clubs are threatening to withdraw their young lads from the squad?

Yeah, cause that would show the kids a good example as well 

Whats the issue here, players played crap manager lands a few home truths, this is what is wrong with this generation and their pandering parents.

Cant/ Wont take any sort of criticism and always look for the easy way out, pull out of the panel and bitch about the manager.

What would be wrong with a parent for once saying to their young lad, yes you were poor and yes your manager was right to give you a rocket. So for the next game you go and prove that you are good enough and that you deserve to play IC Minor hurling. Too little responsibility is being taken on board by players at all levels.

Correct. Shows how mentally tough they are that they respond to adversary by having  wee cry and telling on the bad man rather than show some kahunas and appetite to come back stronger.

we cant judge if we didnt hear what was said. if he was getting personal with some players etc thats not on. but if they are getting a collective bo*licking for an under par performance then take it on the chin and no whinging. anybody that ever hurled has heard this stuff and going crying to the parents is over the top.

Look at the facts: Loughgiel as a team haven't got together since Paddy's day, apart from in the club, macs or the pound, where there have been real marathon sessions going on. Dunloy have been training since January and would have been really up for the game to try and beat the AI champs. Dunloy hit the ground running and took the game to Loughgiel.  Loughgiel took most of the 1st half to get into the game but when they did, Dunloy had no answer to them. 
As for the slaps. Shorty, if you try and dish it out, you really should expect to get it back. Umpires, give respect, get respect (don't cheat and show everyone what your true character really is) and don't expect much sympathy for the cruciate operation.  As for suggesting that PG has to hide behind anyone, you really don't know him.
NAG1, you've made a career out of trying to cheat LG wherever you could in whatever committee you've been in.
Tony Baloney, and North Antrim hound it's really hard to hide your jealously towards
Loughgiel.  In fact NAH I checked your posts out, a big majority aimed at LG bashing. Go and support your own team, if their worth supporting.

On another note, what about the talk of Antrim club hurling is so poor for the last couple of years, that's why LG are winning championships. Doesn't say much for the rest of Ireland then

well done to loughgeil, wasn't at the match but general concensus is they deserved it so congrates all round (you havnt been reading all my post then)

where to start with dribble here goes

if you where not so selective on quoting my post you would have observed i stated the loughgeil would have won the game anyway. as such we will never know as the decisions where quite baffling in your favour( there have been neutrals on here confirming this). as for dunloy training and loughgeil not fair enough. so the winter training program for the all ireland campaign is completely negated but some drinking(what a joke) some of your best players have trained with the county and got a hard game last week. let me adjust the last bit for you when PG as you called him pulled a real dirty stroke off the ball(don't try and drag shorty down to his level because PG credentials are well known in antrim regardless of your blinkered analysis) it took one of our best players out of the game.

the umpire was asked to do a job and he agreed. lets say it was wide I would suggest this has happened before and the events that followed never happened before since i remember.stop deflecting to the umpire when he was assaulted in full view of the ref and nothing was done about it. the fact you haven't mentioned the goal keepers actions says more about yourself than my post on it.

as for jealousy for loughgeil you will have take me at my word nothing could be further from the truth. well done to them on there recent success but ill never be jealous. don't care if you win ten all irelands and we go down to division 4. I'm dunloy through and through. I do support my own team and Will defend them on here when you guys are doing a bit a bashing or your own. as for the are they worth supporting yes they are because in my eyes they have carried themselves with a bit more class than others( your first post ranting would back this up) I would like to think if a dunloy player in the future pulls of a dirty stroke like i seen on sunday then i will divert my BASHING towards my own team. Instead of deflecting to the assaulted player,umpire and trawling through someones previous post. what a pathetic first post. this is a public forum and bar intervention from the moderator i will be airing my views on here, weather a makes you approval of not is of no particular intrest to me

Rough up an umpire, whats next? Throw the linesman over the fence if he makes a call you don't agree with?

I dont know about throwing the linesman over the fence, but i remember herbie getting clocked for his efforts to report a off the ball strike not so long ago.

north antrim bound............yez were bate,get a grip and move on.

do you mean beat (bate ? ) yeah i know i was there. next time you see eamon buy him a pint

[but fair play to him he got his own back]

Well, there were the two dirty slaps off the ball on ding which went unpunished, but fair play to him he got his own back. Then there was the knee in the back on Jimmy Campbell. Then there was the full on chest charge on winker. There were several more decisions he missed on both sides. As whacker said, he was out of depth.

As for the umpire it appeared to me that he laid hands on dd first. And knowing the individual Like I do, he ain't no shrinking violet.

Jesus SIE you dont half let your self down at times. DD very lucky not to get red and 3months at best but agreed its not like him to lose control like that. As for Ding dont even go there, his previous is well known, i thought Nelson had got him to wise up but as they say about leopards........................Loughgiel deserved winners though, the stronger team but not by as much as we thought.

no doubt he is one horrible child,but theres a man there to protect players from these animals, if he is not acting then tools like him get worse

SIE the caveman is coming out in you now

are  you deluded or what. he gave dunloy a point and he was attacked. don't come on here and try and defend the indefensible by telling blatant untruths. skinny got a front chest charge and noting was done. at least he didn't hit the ball away. did JC get a knee on the back i wish that's all shorty got ( i suppose you going to bring his character into question to).  your letting yourself down here by trying to justify some dirty play and a dodgy ref by telling lies WISE UP

Loughgiel would have liked to see some decent refereeing as well.The man hadn't a clue, completely out of his depth.
Still a nice wee run out for the All Ireland champions who looked a bit out of touch,still no surprise there after the last few weeks they were due a bad game.

tell me what a he did for dunloy. the man ruined a good match in loughgeils favour. without  his help my feeling is louhgeil would have snicked it by a point due to Superior fitness. Can someone here please answer me is assaulting an umpire a str8 red or not. as for taking shorty out he didn't see it so fair enough but turning your back on the incident when it flared and playing on till a goal is scored is a joke with a free for all happening up the field. if hes doesn't have the conviction to give calls against the home side then he shouldn't be doing this. well done to loughgeil anyway. only two people came out of the match with no credit. the man who was supposed to be refereeing and the player that struck shorty. we will leave DD out of it as this is the first time Ive seen this from him.

Excuses from a neutral?? Just thinking maybe not worththe money in.

No harm meant, it was supposed to be humorous.  Btw,  It's always worth the money. 

Aye, will probably go anyway.

6 players, normal starters down. happy enough, would liked to have seen the result with some neutral officiating

7 points away. Referee out of his depth,did neither team any favours.

Aye seven points consider the training Loughgiel have done. Not bad

dunloy side of things he instead

Eamon hasson gave louhgeil everything. disgusted by him. how much did louhgeil score from play. first goal was a play on with a shcimozzel up the Field after shorty got struck off the ball that's why he had to come off. a real cowardly pull. DD should have walked for assaulting an umpire. a dunloy man who volunteered who is just a after a cruciate operation. I thought that was straight red stuff he drive him  in to side netting. dunloy where in front but loughgeil fitness told in the end. a more accurate reflection would have been 1 of 2 win. well done Eamon hasson

what a pile of shite, here is an interesting topic to get you ladies to down the handbags and back on hurling issues.

Who is the top scorer from play at intercounty level in this past 10 years

winner gets a clap

either shefflin or eoin kelly imm going with shefflin( I heard hes leaving the kilkenny panel now as he went to training last week and one of the mentors didnt give him a welcome kiss, hes suppossed to be very upset over it)

Site has gotten shocking as last while, what happens within the team should remain within the team, petty squabble just looks em barssing. 

First round of league matches ahead, good that Jerry is giving county men a break for a few weeks.

+1 Some of the info disclosed on here lately is unbelievable. All this talk of cold shoulder treatment and not passing. one county panelist a bit worst for wear in the bar instead of togging out and then getting a cold stare from a selector for it. talk about a persecution complex. Not much point in telling these clowns to keep this stuff to themselves as people from other counties could be reading this. And if its true or not that's not the point, this is in house Antrim stuff and shouldn't be made availale for public domain. Completely Embarrassing

Can we just rewind a bit and establish at what point anyone from Loughgiel asked for any special treatment?? Im pretty sure that when the 4-5 Loughgiel lads went up to training on Tuesday past they didnt expect anything other than to get on with there hurling and be treated the same as everyone else.  Now i know DOK is a hurling man and Dunloy man through and through. But when he takes a position as a county selector he must afford the same treatment to each individual no matter which club they are from. Now I am not referring to any incident in casement bar as I dont know the facts surrounding that. But out on the field he must show a sense of unity within the squad so that everyone can unite as a team and show no signs of divisions in the team.  As i said before i wasnt at the game at the weekend but from conversations ive had with people who were at the game (not just Loughgiel people) the general opinion was that there were certain individuals who would not pass the ball to Loughgiel players.  Now if that is the case then its simply not good enough!! Is there any truth in this? For the sake of antrim I hope that club issues can be put aside while wearing the county jersey!

First the boys dont get the red carpet at training
second a selector blanks one of them in the bar
third the other boys dont want to pass the ball to them


Jesus wept

Are you reading my passage?? Nobody has asked for red carpet treatment... And I am not interested in what went on in casement bar...
But I was told by a person from Carey and a person from creggan who were at the game that cushendall players would not pass to Loughgiel players on the field..All i was asking is if anyone could confirm this or were these two seperate individuals seeing something different???

this is a total nonense shamrock, eddy scored two points, one was form a puk out won from dd but the second was a pass from micko i think out to the wings where he he was standing in space. joey and barney didnt get get into the game at all thats nobody elses fault. DD played a blinder its good to have him back.

Didnt make it to game on sunday either, was hoping to get up but didnt work out. So how bad was it? Did anyone come away with any dignity? How did Barney play? I see he came on in the paper..

we where struggling in midfield, took shorty off and put Karl in at FF. brought on MC fall and barney. MC fall made in impact but barney wasn't involved much seems to have lost a bit or pace. I don't know about dignity but Shane worked his guts out, MC manus to busy putting out fires to have any impact on the scoreboard. Hippy pulled a hamstring. on the plus side young gettins looks like a prospect and if MC Fall would just go up a gear he has all the tools.Overall we looked to small to trouble them in the physical stakes(big lads) and under pressure shooting to many wides of even worse hitting useless ball in to the forwards. I think we dropped six balls into there keepers hand to. wrong options all over the place

SIE if dick snubbed Watson don't assume right away its because he has a all ireland medal. More likely its because if he could be there to show the Tommy Moore, why not come to training last week and line out with DD and co. would you please cut out this dribble about everyone eyeballing because off your recent success. your doing your club a disservice here

These group of guys deserve our support rather than derision btw. They're the best WE have (and some of them would fit in with the best in Ireland). Not enough depth of quality or commitment across the board to get the standards up to the level where we would be more compeditive. It's been that way (bar 4/5 years) for as long as I remember.

Would take 10-15 years effort from 100s of people working together accross all clubs (with finance available) to move things to a different level IMO

Skull you have been preaching the same line for a long time and you are totally right! Why is everybody so annoyed by the result today? We have not traditionally done well against Limerick and what has changed at underage level in the past 5 yrs to think that we should? Mid table Div 1B is where Antrim are at.

+1 Always seem to come up short against limmerick. our only chance yesterday was to keep it close and mug them close to the end, the ref took made sure that didnt happen. theres one recurring theme for years if we are making a game of it we are going to get shafted by decsions to give the other team some daylight. imm geting fed up with it god knows how the players feel. Dont think we would have won anyway but them close range frees knocked the stuffing out of boys. dont think the midfeild changes worked but understand why they where made. K S  not at the races at the minute, mc manus had his hands full so couldnt drive forward as much, hippy was finding moran a handfull. hats off to shane he worked his nuts of yesterday and if watson comes back with some sort off form we have some firepower for the summer.
