Thats a one way ticket home at least

Brendan Toland doing the final this weekend, happy with that and Brendan is a good guy to boot. Roll on Sat

Mark O'Neill is the best referee I've seen this year and did an excellent job of the U21 final. I've also been very impressed with a lad from Glenravel, Ryan O'Reilly, who is very much in the same mould as Mark, quietly going about the job and barely noticeable in the games I've seen him ref. Not one of the big names, but very good IMO.

+1

there's talk of them doing the jail here.. whats that about? are the taxpayers here not burdened enough without taken in criminals from another country?

How's the fundraising going for them?

As regards Loughgiel players being "the wrong side of 30", that would be an issue in Inter County hurling but not club hurling. I think Cushendall will find them very hard to handle on Sunday.

The fact that they are being written off in some quarters will help to propel them to a big performance.

I don't know of too many hurling men writting them off in fairness Minder. Cushendall know they are up against it, Id say they are looking forward to the match and have prepared as best as they can, I think they are nearly fully fit with Sean Delargy coming off the bench on Sat, so all their main players are fit and ready to go to 'Town' (ho ho)

It's all about the start, can Cushendall get a good start and maintain it or will Loughgiel get the measure of the Dall and push on. intriguing game and no doubt come Monday (more likely Sunday night on here) we'll be talking about some controversy over a referee decision lol

Morton tonight,in front of 15,000 people.Barcelona this night week in front of 60,000 people.

Not making any sense Tony, I put the club jersey on I want to win in front of 2 men and their dog!! ffs, cause it's my club. These guys couldn't give a toss for ones like me who place money on them lol!!! Hope Barca stuff them, and my Da is heading over too, mug

Terry Reilly? For a county hurling final?


Where is Hassan from?
Its a bit inconsistent saying he's good to have come and do our league games but not championship no?

I know there's a bit of "share it about" but surely the best man should get the job!
Don't think that's Mark either Mr2!

I've no problems with any referee who referee's in Antrim and gets Championship games, be he a Down man or a Derry man, wouldn't be a bad idea for the Antrim referees to do also the Down championships, and when the Derry lads fully commit to the Antrim leagues they will also be available for their championships.

So who is the best man btdtgtt? Mark has done well, players respect him and he's consistant, ie players know his style, likewise Terry. Owen in my view has refereed the same way for a long time, so again you know what to expect same as Garret.

I think we get lost on who's the referee a bit, I know I did as a manager but that's cause you want the best for the team, but deep down if the team is well prepared and disciplined then the referee will have no bearing on your game, end off.

This game on Sunday will be as good as it gets I feel. The Dall hurt form last year, getting knocked out by Dunloy, Loughgiel frustrated at not getting back at Croke and two teams that, lets be honest don't like each other. Great ingredients me thinks for a tasty dish!!

Yes I agree that the ref is unlikely to effect the result - I just don't subscribe to this notion of who deserves it or "whos turn it is"

Personally I think Elliot is the best ref and would take hasson in front if Reilly or mark.
I actually think that Aidan Kelly has shown well in the games I've seen too regardless of experience.

I don't know why people think loughgiel are due to blow a team away.
When was the last one-sided final?
Sometimes watching a team on the national stage fools us into thinking they are further ahead of the others than reality.
For example - that great Dunloy team still shared championships with cushendall and Rossa took them to replays.

I think it promises to be a fantastic game if the weather do us all a favour. Some great hurlers on show and two excellent teams - with no shortage of niggle! Don't see it finishing 15 a side.

Aidan's done rightly has has covered plenty of games for Antrim, Any of the games he's ref'd us he's been spot on, takes no crap either

Morton? Are ya having a laugh??

If it goes over the top of the post its a wide. I looked at that on the day and found it strange also. But as you said from the angle given later it was wide.

I heard on the radio last week that the current recruitment drive is trying to attract more applications from Fermanagh/Tyrone direction, so no doubt this was at least in party for the benefit of Tyrone supporters on Sunday.

As has been said, there's no point in crying about things from the outside - change things from within.

It wouldn't matter to me if the RIC,RUC or the PSNI had been a great colonial police force and were welcomed by 100% of the people over the years; the fact is that they are a colonial police force and will enforce the laws instructed by them by British.

If people are Irish Republican, be it militant or not;  they cannot accept this.

So have 2 separate police forces? taigs cops for walking around Turf Lodge, high fiving the locals!! Hun cops for the Shankill whistling the Sash!!

Wake da fcuk up, I doubt very much tickle that you can remember walking around when people were actively out too kill people,daily.

going to be tight to get to ahoghill for 3.00

we'll send up our reserves ;-)

I honestly believe there'll be 10 points in it. Loughgiel have a well established proven team who know how to win and have paced themselves right.

Been thinking the same but they haven't really opened the shoulders in Antrim finals of late, why would Sunday be any different? Cushendall have managed to keep a lead and win out, will their lapse in the game mean that Loughgiel get the upper hand and win?

I hear Hassan was royally shafted for county Hurling Final, ex said no to Derry referee! Unreal, between Reilly and Elliott then.

Garret not involved? Terry may get the nod then. Thought Mark would have had a chance seeing he'd done very well this year

Anywhere local that does that foot analysis thing that tells what best shoe is for you?
