Good win for Antrim, anyone at it?

A bit like the Dublin - UCD game last week.

Jesus what a mess, looks like everyone has backed themselves into a corner. Not good for the GAA! 

Why the f**k was Bryan Cullen in the forward line?!

He looked very rusty didn't he? Wasted a lot of ball but grew into the game I thought and finished the game playing well.

He's playing in the forwards because I think they're looking at swapping him and Collie. The thinking being i'd say, that Cullen can kick a score whereas Collie can't. Think Collie has been playing really well at CHB for the last few games. Also Cullen when he last played in the HF line tended to get a score when Dublin were in one of their listless periods. His distribution was way off last night but it'll come good.

I know this is a crazy idea, sent me to St Brendan's if you think I've lost it . But could we not play a forward in the forward line?

We've got more than 6 decent forward we don't need to be converting backs to forwards . Maybe have it is a mid game swap but not from the start.

Well they seem to like this withdrawn half forward lark and Cullen does a better job of it then Collie in my opinion.

Whats the story with Ger Brennan from Vincents.  Is he in the panel or are the Vincents lads being left aside until their club campaign is over ?  Is he a viable option for the No. 6 jersey ??  Heard alot of good things about him over the past season or two and just wondering why he hasn't featured to date.........

Vins players are out of the picture because of club commitments. shame becasue he could do with proving himself in the league again - should be a real option this year. Connolly is another that could do with the game time for Dublin.

O'Shaughnessy normally plays corner or back for club.

Has been known to line out at CHB as well.

How in danamajaysus did a thread about Offaly hurling descend into a squabble between Longford and Westmeath? About hurling!

Surreal

i know, exactly what i was laffin at.

Incidentally that young baldy lad in defence for Carlow was excellent, Evan something or other.

he was something else, top class, a specalist corner back unlike our who are converted wing backs mostly.

Sounds like a great game for this early in the year. Presume it'll be repeated on Setanta over the next few days???

it was great craic alright. Well worth a look. Watch out for the ref, he was MOTM. 

 

Lads youse are never going to see eye to eye on this, ye couldnt even agree on the day of the week I'd say. 

Well done to Antrim. terrific result, cheered me up a bit after watching UCD bate Dublin. Hope you go onto win the thing now! 

he seems to be just doing a lot of coaching seminars to help improve coaching standards (which was needed). not really telling people how to run their affairs, or getting grants for hurling orientated developments. A lot of people in Roscommon would just to love to see funding for another full time hurling coach to give more time in the primary schools, help run/organise underage competitions, work with county squads and be available to help clubs coach players. Might free up volunteers to look after teams etc

From what I hear his sessions are very very good. Just get the impressions he's trying to do everything himself, I thought the role was going to be more of an organiser and less hands on, he's certainly putting the effort in that's for sure!

I taut you were in the seated stand. 

I was in the seated stand...I'm not claiming everyone in the stand was looking at the halfway line when he headbutted him...

Ah i was only joking, you stand by what you saw but you were siting down at the time ... never mind ...
