Ah, Salou, I was there once. The Johnnies have a supporters club there.

St. John's Belfast Support Group Salou

Tyrone Girl won't be there, thats for sure 

 

english teachers abound. Salou it is!! 13 days to go

[3/4 pools]

Was in Marmaris a few years back. Great spot - plenty to do and lovely beaches. Full of English though and any irish that were there were prod. Anyway not to be bigoted though - just pointing it out.
Would defo go again - loved it.

what a random piece of useless information!!!

We are heading to Salu in two weeks, cant wait we are staying at a keycamp resort with 3/4 pools and its located on the beach also.


stayed at home last year and went for a week up in the glens, was good but the weather was shite. typically weather great his yea and we are heading off to Spain!!!

P.S there will be prods in Salu

Are these three-quarter pools to accommodate your height?

three-quarter pools??  i can swim so i'll be fine.

be different if i were a fat fooker tony

we have three senior teams playing at the same time, organising 50 players (allowing for subs) is a hard task. the seniors were missing a load, Sub keeper off to the states, Kerr injured and Niblock stepped in.

two Johnnies men and a St Galls lad sent off. Johnnies will always try like Fook against us, loads of history but with the team we had out I'd say we were happy to win.

At our annual dinner on Friday night. Thomas Niblock (BBC) was doing the presenting and asked Terry O'Neill.... All Ireland Club final or beating St Johns? do i need to answer this?

I like yourself have great respect for all those clubs listed so liking/disliking has got sweet FA to do with it. We obviously have a different idea of what great means thats all

They are a great club IMO. But they have in the recent past only been a good team IMO. Hardly a controversial view

i'm not arguing about the today's standard regarding LG. was only in the recent past at Casement one night they beat a great Dunloy team!!

Championship is a while away yet. they will dick us by a big score, of that i'm sure.

who they meet after that i don't know.  strange how a WUM comes on and we have a lot of posts

just noticed we have a fixture against Gorts on wed night. with 4 players on Football duty and 2 on Hurling duty i think you can safely say thats two points for Gorts!!

CCC, ya gotta hand it to them

great team and so is Dunloy and Cushendall.

I know Dunloy dislike the Bodies sure we hate the Johnnies Lamhs and the rest. but i have great respect for clubs like Loughgiel Rossa and St Johns. the Dall and yourselves also. this is based on what they have achieved in the past.

if we based our opinions of teams on how they have faired in the last twenty years then we do clubs like Ballycastle a disservice

[the smart (outside) money is on St John's this year]

f**k feels like your gonna give me a bollicking now! i would say lamh dhearg are a quality team and a championship side, as shown by playing in those county finals, even if they were in div2 nt that long ago. the other one, probably without a lot of justification as they havent really beat portglenone or turned a team over in the championship yet, is st. brigids, even for the fact that they are competing in div 1 fairly well for a number of years, seem to be fairly well respected and seem to have good youth structures in place, which seems to mean that they should be able to maintain their senior status going forward

No, no, I wasn't setting you up for a bollicking BBB  . Just curious. Been to a few matches over the last couple of years but I get most of my info about Antrim football secondhand from workmates, so that makes me an expert 

From what I hear Lamh Dhearg depend a lot on Paddy Cunningham. Lost their last two league matches, I presume while Paddy was nursing his sore ankle? Good work been done by St Brigid's alright but it'll be a couple years before they are a heavy hitter maybe? See, I'm being as respectful as I can   

Forget about St Gall's and Cargin, the smart (outside) money is on St John's this year 

you'll get a good price for that, get your money on early though

[Loughgiel have not been as successful as Dunloy and Cushendall and Rossa over the last 20 years]

Great game last night and i have a good feeling for loughgiel this year ! last year they had a lot factors against them , the feis debacle, suspensions (conspiracy) and injuries.
They undoubtly have the best players and maybe haven't had it right on the line the last few years but by all accounts they have great team spirit this year , a great organised  management set up and i feel  they will be really hard to beat .
As long as they keep focussed , keep the discipline and put the effort in i feel 2010 is the year of the shamrocks.They have history on their side too as the only club to have the all-ireland and really i expect big things from them this year .

its idiots like you that give loughgiel a bad name. yes loughgiel have good players and had hard luck with injuries etc.. last year, but how do you think that having history will help win a championship - please open your eyes to the real reasons that Loughgiel have not been as successful as Dunloy and Cushendall and Rossa over the last 20 years.

fixed that for you

great team and shit happens, they have lost out to a combination of reasons, some self inflicted others just bad luck. they will come good again, will it be this year?? don't know

Milltown Row2,France,draw,Argentina,draw,draw,USA,Serbia,Germany,Paraguay,Slovakia,Cameroon,Denmark,Ivory Coast,Draw,Spain,Switzerland

Antrim teams HATE parnell park, both club and county and with the possible exception of Cushendall performance against St Joseph's a few years back have never played to their potential.

As for the Galway Offaly game like many i fancy Offaly to make a decent fist of it but for galway to run out 7 points plus winners in the end.

we beat the Galway champions at Parnell this year in Club semi finals in football and hurling!!!

Antrim could maybe win it this year!!!

your off the level here, what was stated earlier was deliberately throwing the ball into someone and then pulling as hard as you can with no intention of hitting the ball.

By anyones language this is at least a yellow card if not worse, think you may be getting mixed up.

Yeah that's a bit different to what I was thinking about.

i know what you mean Johnny, pulling hard on the ball is fair game, but throwing the ball into someone and then having a go is a bit different..

sobering up after our annual dinner last night!!!! still have a stamp on my hand from somewhere

[if your a manager its very difficult to run with the policy of no train no play, the balancing act of having a wining team and a team of players who train all the time and are still shite wont win you too many games and you'll still feel frustrated.]

having taken a time senior team i had some serious excuses. but I've managed many of our reserve teams over the years and its the reserve players  who give out the most outlandish excuses. they are the ones with the chip on their shoulders and think they should be playing in the senior team all the time!!!

Good luck illdecide, its rewarding when it all works out, the feeling when you head home after a wining game is great. we live in a generation where the kids now don't have the same commitment  as we did.

In fairness Milltown, if as a manger you are prepared to stick to that policy you will find that short term pain leads to long term gain IMO

try it FermGael,
while always having the core players that always turn up you end up with decent players that can't compete against quality opposition. maybe its different in football, any aul mug could play football, train hard and become a more than decent player, hurling is different altogether. in the long term a hurler cant improve his skills (significantly), he can only improve his fitness.
