Ye heard that Ken has done real well with changing their attitude, Birr I'm sure are a massive hurdle to get over and after that, the team can flourish. A bit like Loughgiel in Antrim, after so many final defeats they have reacted well and can hurl with more confidence.

Going to be a good final, that's for sure.

I think we're all agreed on the Loughiel point then - no doubt we'll return to it by 4pm on March17 if not before!
MR2 - are you off the drink for Lent? A little bit sensitive this weather! Relax - your milltown men may get a good draw on Monday night!

As for the county team - I think 1-7 is very strong, but it goes downhill from there on.
Even as a Belfast man the two McFall's don't inspire me, and I struggle to see where the scores will come from elsewhere in McLaughlin Sheerin O'Connell. Its a big ask for Shane and Micko to lead the line.

That said, Wexford are famous for being poor travellers and hopefully they are not too eager to impress Liam Dunne!

I'm grand but there are some wile eejits on this site talking up something or being WUM's.

Anybody who starts a thread wanting to know why a certain team is hated then not contribute to it is a WUM in my opinion that is.

1-7 very strong and from Karl Stewart down is poor? Oh yes that's right your not a Wum

to all non shamrock posters

Lads I'm suggesting we leave to loughgeil bashing to after the 17Th. I think everyone on here is aware of their  position in the popularity stakes and why this is the case. but now is not the time, they are earned the place in an all ireland club final and if we cant wish them well then its best to say or write nothing. If most other club posters (including myself) and fans perceive themselves as more dignified and gracious in victory or defeat well its hypocritical to behave with the same begrudged stance.

Who's bashing Loughgiel's performances this year? I have backed them from the start!! Even before Loughgiel were winning I said they had the best team to win the entire thing!! That's been based on playing against them and watching them numerous times. They have the mental edge that may get them over the line on Paddy's day.

So can we put to bed the Loughgiel hating malarkey???

Didn't see Bushwacker, SIE, Shamman or any other Loughgiel man in our club when we won an All Ireland.

Liam would pop in the odd time, be the only Loughgiel man I've seen in the club. Oh and I have been in the Pound over the years, the ball even stops on the pool table when 'strangers' walk in

We should really get an age limit on this board.

Well going by the recent guidelines most people are alcoholic's of some sort.

If you drink more than x amount at the weekend then you are a alcoholic, if you have a couple of drinks during the week then you are a alcoholic. Obviously, if you do both then you are an alcoholic!!

If we stopped drinking in Ireland then the revenue lost to the government would put Ireland into a worst state than Greece.

He is well able sham man,   Don't loose any sleep over it 

Glad to hear it SG, glad to hear it indeed.  I hear Neil McManus got the line today agin Connacht. By all accounts it should have been a straight Red instead of 2 yellows.  Karl Stewart also carrying an injury from the game. I wonder what Wallis will have to say about that, especially when our lads are not available?

Well if it were two yellows Neil will be available for next week.  Were you at it?

No MR2, bush telegraph only, was at a christening.

Aye reliable that. For an injured Karl Stewart they must have used all their subs before he was injured, otherwise they would have taken him off!!

Don't shoot me MR2, I am just the messenger.  Transpires it was only a dead leg anyway, but lets not get excited. 

I'm not excited, certainly with anything you have posted lately

Home of the future on 4, would love all that stuff

I see the Antrim panel has been cut for the National League games. How many got the chop?

After my performance yesterday, im out!!!

Most of the fellas on here are alright sham. The rest are WUMs. But sure, it's all good craic, it'd be boring without the odd "disagreement".

Thanks 

Did he acually glass him or punch him the the bottle in his hand and it broke?

Either way 2 complete scumbags. BBC have a good picture of it ...

Well if there is a punch up at the Gaa games today, BBC will have more coverage of it

[What was the biggest crowd in the last 20 years at an Antrim game?]

All Ireland Quarter Finals

Belfast is not well situated for such games. Fine if it is some combination of Down/Derry/Tyrone/Armagh nut not much use if a team from another province is involved.

Ulster Finals

This would be the main application. Was the Ulster final full this year?

International Rules Matches

Once every 3 years or even less frequently?

Big Championship Matches

There aren't so many of those. Armagh v Down last year was nowhere near full,  and Armagh v Tyrone didn't need tickets either. Of course if the Armagh and Tyrone rivalry had been in its prime then perhaps there would be more, but this was an typical period.

What was the biggest crowd in the last 20 years at an Antrim game?

Ulster Football final a few years ago was busy.

We are 1.30 Hours away from Dublin which as far as I'm aware is outside of Ulster

Dublin is a city, Belfast is also a city. Croke park is a busy housing area and so is Casement.

Motorway to Casement, granted parking is not as good as when you go to Croke, no wait it's the same!!

You have based your points/reasons because you'd rather have it somewhere else, maybe closer to you.

The money is being given to Casement can't do anything about it, outside of Croke Parks hands in fairness

By the way Ulick Dublin for the past 2 years have been playing league games at Croke to increase the gate!!

A bit of Modern Warfare 3 for me now!!
