[I have already heard the shinners starting to bash him and his character. Typical bullying fascists.]

I live in the West Belfast constituency and traditionally I vote SF but by fcuk they have no chance of getting my vote this time around. Gerry Carroll from PBP will be getting it. 

SF carrying out austerity and then calling them 'the Tory Cuts'. Dont see much Shinners falling victim to austerity between Stormont or community jobs

Plus, Gerry Adams was a sh.ite MP but I cringe every time I hear Paul Maskey speaking on the radio and on TV. Apparently he always tries 'really really really hard to get things done'. They are FF minus 50 years.

But anyway PBP are the only people i have heard with a complete anti-austerity voice and have heard onky positive messages.  I have already heard the shinners starting to bash him and his character. Typical bullying fascists.

Surprised to hear it has taken so long. Paul Maskey is useless. I think Sinn Fein know this as he is rarely on radio or TV, except for when he tried to take over the St Mary's closure threat, and obviously when approaching election time.

The only input I saw him having with the Casement debacle was telling people to "sit down and talk".

People over emphasis the talent available in Antrim, it's easy to just say "the talent is there", well I don't think it is, the results don't lie and we always seem to think a change of manager will bring about massive change in fortunes, well it hasn't and it won't. And that is no slur on the players that are there, they are working hard by all accounts, they just aren't of a good enough standard at present.

Junior & Intermediate  club Ireland wins don't mean shit when it comes to inter county, totally different ball game.

He hasn't enjoyed his time in Belfast anyway

It was only a war when it suits

I love this bollocks about "high profile" Antrim players, high profile in what universe ? Maybe in their own head but that's about it.

Is the Sinn Fein default setting to lie? Earlier in the day they said the State Dept had requested a meeting but Gerry couldn't fit them into his diary !

Adams criticises US State Department over refusal to meet him


The Sinn Féin president has criticised the US State Department over its refusal to meet him.
A planned meeting between Gerry Adams and a high level US State Department official in Washington will not happen.

Earlier, the BBC reported Sinn Féin had denied a snub. The party had said that Mr Adams had been unable to attend a meeting on Monday.
However a few hours later, speaking in New York, Mr Adams said it was "no skin off my nose" not to meet the official.

"The State Department's handling of the issue of a meeting with me is bizarre. It serves no purpose other than to distract attention from the main issue. That is the full implementation of the Stormont House Agreement.
"That is Sinn Féin's main focus. And Martin McGuinness and Peter Robinson are working on this as we speak.
"It is no skin off my nose not to meet the State Department. I am more concerned with protecting the rights and entitlements of citizens back home. That will remain Sinn Féin's firm objective," Mr Adams added.

"Bizarre"
Mr Adams' statement follows earlier comments from his party colleague Conor Murphy who had denied there had been a snub. Mr Murphy said: "Gerry Adams was actually asked for a meeting today by the State Department.
"He's in New York city today, he's unable to go Washington until tomorrow and so no other meeting has been confirmed after that.

"But he will be at the White House tomorrow for the St Patrick's Day celebration."
At the weekend, First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness cancelled plans to go to the US to meet President Obama on St Patrick's Day.
However, Mr Adams has travelled to the US.
Sources said he was to have held a meeting with a senior State Department official, among other engagements.

It follows developments at Stormont last week when Sinn Féin withdrew support for the welfare reform bill.

In a statement issued last week, former US senator Gary Hart urged all parties to reach an understanding on the scope of the Stormont House Agreement "so that a successful series of meetings planned for St Patrick's Day can go forward as planned in Washington".
It is understood State Department officials will meet the Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt and the SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell later on Monday.

I put a message on re RTE coverage of game or lack off but the post appears to be deleted? Why would this be? Is gaaboard censoring this discussion now?

WT4E - it would help enormously if you could remember what thread you put it up in...I see it on the Tyrone County Football Thread not the Cork v Tyrone thread which is this one. However, I would say that RTE are thinking that it is pointless to travel to omagh and get boycotted again so made the easy decision not to go. I have noticed this year especially that MH is getting very animated and angry along the line and yesterday after the game he marched up to Marty Duffy to argue with him  as well. Throwing away leads in the last quarter is not the referee fault.....

According to Irish News Harte didn't speak to any media after the game

What's carl Stewart's story MR2.   Very talented man to not have involved?   No st galls men on it I think. Open to correction.

Jackson McGreevy was a sub yesterday. Would imagine it's too big a stretch with the commitment involved when you are married with kids.

It's a (very) young mans game.

The cat must be dead. You can see the maggots crawling out of it.

the maggots may only be acting
When the ground hardens the cats will be up for it. Hopefully someone can put them back in their box.

Report on your game?

Are you sick in the head ?!

Early in the year but Tipp were exceptional today

Why would he go to club league games?  What would he learn? Do we really want Antrim Hurling to come down to 2 or 3 big club games a year?  We need a complete overhaul of club hurling too. A couple of ' hurling only' clubs in Belfast would be a start. We have 3 competitive clubs who win the hurling championship year in year out. It's not enough. We all love hurling but it's in a valley at the minute. If we were all brutally honest and left egos at the door our club teams were all poor last year too. Not enough quality. It's definitely not KR"s fault. He's doing his best.

couldn't have said that better, spot on in relation to belfast and club hurling standards have been brutal this last five or six years. Why is everybody pointing the finger at Ryan. The players he has on the panel have been the cream of all the clubs at underage this last few years apart from the ones that won't commit
you would think we where competing with these teams before Ryans arrival.
we scored 26 points against wexford and scored ten today what is that all about

Unfortunately yah looks like a bit of an aberration now, Wexford probably were sluggish and finding their feet, they have currently put 5-18 on Laois

Waterford 4-30 Antrim 0-10 FT

There wasn't much evidence that it was the Provo IRA that killed Robert McCartney or young Quinn 

Correct
Neither were sanctioned by the IRA

You seem quite knowledgeable about what what operations the IRA have sanctioned.

He likes to think he is, he knows as much about it as Joe Bloggs

But what has that got to do with sf?

The shite that some of the clowns are spouting on this thread is pushing me towards liking or even supporting the shunners

Yeah you hate SF, its always shone through in your posts 

Does Gavin Bell still play?

Didn't play for Rossa this year as he reckoned it was an embarrassment for Rossa to play in IHC, came back for Ulster final I think.
