heading off to Spain in the summer (volcano permitting ) but was wondering should i hire a car now and hope flights will be fine come July or will i have no problem hiring a car at the airport (Barcelona) at the same price and availability?

seems £500 is the price for a two week hire, is that steep? also they are saying kids booster seats (no joke minder ) is £7 per day! two kids £15 per day i'll have no money left. can you get air booster seats that you can stick in your case?

we beat St Pauls tonight in the league. was tight game but 2 point win with players playing well below par is a grand result.

had have brought my gear i could've got on

it really is a non starter lads, there is no real money about. we play this sport cause we love it, not for money. if your one of the lucky ones to be playing on the big stage then you really are blessed.

think of the lesser lights playing on shitty council pitches were the motor bikes have ripped up the pitch, dogs chasing the ball or cold showers after a rained soaked game. training gear is never available and the rig has not been washed since the last game as the managers washing machine is broken!!

but you know what, none of that would ever put me off going to these games, putting petrol in my car picking up mates and heading down the Glens to play hurling/football matches, or the expense of training gear boots helmets hurling sticks and whatever else the common player needs.

the IC players have it all and still want more. well they can go and fook themselves. they wont get any of my money should it go that way

Who's their coach? Jimmy who?

1 point away to cargin is a vast improvement on previous years. Didn't think they had the players any more. I guess we will tell come c'ship...

Odd sequences of results in division 1. Would have expected moneyglass to run st brigids, wouldn't have expected lamh dhearg to beat creggan or ahoghill to beat portglenone but big wins for both. Creggan yet to build on their promise.

Jimmy Wilson and John Kelly and Gerard Adams looking after them. aren't they?

well they were bound to lose (City) cause i backed them

ok i'll use that formula on Chelsea at the weekend

the Johnnies still improving, Jimmy must have them flying this year

I dint think there is any appetite for an official above board pay for pay scheme .Its the under the table payments that will cause the issue . How many inter county panelists are out of work at the moment ?

possibly the same number that was out of work during the the 20's 30's 40' 50's 60's and 70's.

unemployment and people migrating to other countries has been going on for years and years to come. there are plenty of people who can slot into county teams

i'd have asked for my 3 quid back after that performance!!! Moneyglass for the antrim championship

Is a bloody crazy situation that we have so called Gaels on here wanting to give inflated egos money to run around a pitch and play a sport which is a amateur sport.

no one makes any real money. if you want a job in Gaa then become a coach for the Gaa. teach school kids and work for the clubs to keep this tradition alive, but to claim that  your the one thats bring 80 thousand people to Croke, and you deserve money for that is ridiculous, that something that people have been doing for over 100 years!!!! and hopefully for an other 100 years

i hope they get beat on Sunday (liverpool) and against Hull on the last day. if we lose the league title it wont be because liverpool lay down against Chelsea. it will be because of some shitty teams Fergie played against lesser teams. Burnely sticks out, that was 3 points  dropped and the rest!!

If Chelsea win the league then its because they have a better team, bench and dare i say it a manager who's not afraid to keep playing a winning team.

well, if it ever comes in then I'll walk away from the sport. spent too many nights and weekends knocking my pan in for the club for some 'c**k' to want his share of the money. I've been out of pocket for years playing taking players and trips away with th club. never asked for a penny (well i did get a referee outfit) have never got any money refereeing as well!!

he has been trained and given a free 'professional' training plan sincethe started to play for their local clubs

i would not entertain them and not watch them play. 

Christ there is no way they will want to draw or win against Chelsea this weekend after agent Forlan's winning goals.

sorta pleased now. if Chelsea win then they are the best team.

Liverpool couldn't win a game of tiddle winks or pitch and toss!!!

i must be owed a fortune!!! playing 30 years and a manging also. think i'll have enough to retire soon

Samba , we are hardly a disgrace. there was five senior footballers hurling on sunday not including CJ.

if you want to give off about it then thats grand. they have young lads trying to make inroads into the senior team. playing Cargin in Toome will give the management a fair idea of the quality coming through, after that performance its not looking great.

I'd say Cargin would give up all their league titles to get to an All Ireland Final.

[Sure the Antrim Chairman is an addict]

Shocking misuse of new/knew before the edit.

This Board has been monitored for a long time by the BBC Sports dept, my own posts  where I have criticised BBC sports coverage have been quoted back to me by a BBC employee.

Typical Glenariff.

To be fair TYP, almost every media body of note would have someone somewhere on their payroll looking closely at this board, mostly for info. Sure the Antrim Chairman is an addict.

I don't believe it!!!!

its crazy to think that a sports journalist can't use the internet forums to check on information sure we speak the truth here
