Wow, such a diverse palette for mutton dressed as lamb! Pity about those obvious mistakes!  Stop masquerading as something youre not, whatever infact that might be!

Hail to MR2 and all those dedicated posters!  

Well done to Portgleone - magic stuff!

Whatever mr2
Your right a grown up striking a sixteen your old is wrong. But stop trying to build a picture where this sixteen year old was standing minding his own business. We have already established the way he reacted was wrong so stop repeating it. I haven't seen you write once condemning the player and his part in the whole incident. If we listened to you he is the only one hard done by here. Take the blinkers off and realise when someone behaves the way he did it's going to escalate into something worse.  I've tried to make you see that when it comes to an emotional parent then rational goes out the window. So keep on deflecting away from the sc**bag here I don't care what age he is.
Ask someone what's the lowest thing you could do on a hurling field and his action is the answer you will get most

Are you for real???
What happens on a pitch between opposing teamsn and players is for officials to judge, then clubs can assess conduct of their own players as they see fit!
It is absolutely unacceptable for any parent to react this way, regardless of incident! Stop trying to justify this!

[Kernan]

He was really plugging a gap at corner back though and did a decent job but his reading of the game and marking men but not outstanding IMO as he was out of position. Great half back, good corner back I thought...

He's a joy to watch at club level. I think st galls are a lot like cross in the regard that an outstanding half back (Kernan / Kelly) is really the platform for a lot of their successes. Also marking those half backs would go a long way to stopping either in my view but easier said than done!

Kernan is a class act , as you say makes them tick, he gets the ball and can shift, with vison also to pick out a pass, obviously Cross have a lot of lads that are in a different bracket (Clarke) to most clubs in Ulster but Kernan stands out.

He beat us on his own in the final a few years ago, Osin will claim the scores but Aaron set them up, won the ball in corner back took ball up  the pitch and the ball ended up in the back of the net ffs

the difference between kelly and kernan is about 1and a half stone of muscle thats why kernan is so effective in county football.

Dribble! Typical nay say jealous response from... - agree with stibhan - better players!

Here here glens!

Why is Canavan being touted? What has he achieved? (Great player, but so was Pele)

On the St.Johns progress thing...need a reality check really!  Agree with Jeepers in terms of cutting their teeth elsewhere - however if county wanna give them a chance, great, but call it as it is! Taking a punt!

Like the thought of John Rafferty, but i would presume its all coin!!! So dont know bout that!

Its a real tough one for the county board, what about JC?

Whitey completely out of running?

Why has Harbinson not been snapped up by someone else? (see him in Irish News today as being touted)Is he involved with galls still?

Johnny McBride?

McFlynn?

Brennan?

Bring back Baker????He did alright!

Deary Deary me, some of the names being thrown about are ridiculous!

I agree, take a punt on youth and inexperience then Antrim County Board can nail their colours to the mast!

If it doesnt work they will have done no worse than their predecessors!

Avoid ridiculous contoversy at all costs!  It would be about everything else other than the football - god knows Antrim has had enough of that!

Take a punt!!! OR ROB A BANK!

Sean Burke out, and now Keiran McGourty defo out aswell!

Theyve been without Burke all year so wont make much odds (although would have made a big difference)

We'll see how they cope come Saturday - if Pollock, Stewart and Niblock are all firing i fancy Galls, if any on an off day, it could be tough enough!

Fra, if youve seen anything of Cargin this year, you cant possibly have St.Galls strong favourites! Especially after the league result in Toome!
Last weekends results stopped everyone in their tracks!  Dirty aul weekend afternoon in hog hill will be anything but a cracker!
But it is defo St.GALLS to lose - Cargin never seem to have the smooths for it!!!

It's about time people stopped expecting big things from the Johnnies. We hear the same bollix every year and they are yet to back it up.A very average outfit.

Couldnt agree more!  Ive watched them alot this year! Some decent players, but made look like a division 2 team yesterday.  Big talk in papers doesnt help!  And they must now be embarrassed that the bought and wore a 'black' rig!!!

Its all about Cargin, Lamhs and Galls! No one else really count at present!

Heheheheheh - Now Now MR2!

Aye massive!!! Oh sorry i didnt mean that from behind, but sure take this smack in the laughing gear face on!

p***k!

Clearly only on to cause controversy!

Go away already!

Unreal - just heard what went on! Puts you off our great games! 

Everyone knows exactly what happened and who it was! Why would Brendan 'make it up' fceking lying in a hospital bed!
Hope YOU are reading this!!!!
Do yourself a favour and man up!!!

Head fried with it...

Oh dear oh deary me!!!

A public feud between Johnnies members - 'stit it up'??  now now, who would do such a thing!

All sorts of rumours about the dual problems there in the past, sort it out!

But football results arent great alright!

They will fancy themselves big time - and why wouldnt they! 

But why did Seam McKenna up sticks and get outta there?

Surely if theyre that strong and contenders he woulda stayed around? no?

Shame on the Irish News - irresponsible journalism once again, and at Antrims expense!  The laughing stock of Ulster Football!  Jimmy McGuiness came in and sorted out the sh*te talk in Donegal, look what they did!

Couple of points -

1. how dare Tony Scullion feel he can drag this out in the media and rally support to have Dawson sacked! (cause lads, thats all this is).

2. How dare the Irish News further exploit an already damaged county by publishing it!

3. To those who wrote into 'off the fence' - take a look at youreselves!!  Ken McGrath said to our hurlers recently that to win anything at this level your lives are put on hold - simple!

4. Think Dawson is doing a below average job to say the least - perhaps the washing is beginning to show why though!  That said - i would have made the same decision in his shoes!

Until Antrim stop talking sh*te using pathetic excuses - this will remain!

I commend Dawson for stepping up - about time - no one else has!  You never know, it might just work - long term!!
