Just did it. Took less than 5 minutes. Used 11 digit number from tax book.

Dinamo Zagreb are a great club with a colourful past and political associations. A brilliant place to go and watch football. I was there around 15 years ago. Memorable!!! Red Bull Salzburg are a decent club too. I think Europa league is more Celtic's level.

What position do you play?

Manager and fan cool

If it rains all day today then well and good. Hopefully it will stay off tomorrow and Sunday for perfect conditions.

I'm so excited, it feels like Christmas. The only potential shock I can see is Armoy to beat St. Pauls.
I'll get to 5 games over the two days. Loughgiel on Saturday, Ballymena then Ballycastle on Sunday. Throw in U10 training tonight and that's one hurling filled weekend.

It's a great sight seeing the pitches swamped at halftime. Btd, I assumed you were North Antrim, don't know why!

I've always wondered how much we are affected by the following;
Half our population (in the north) is protestant.
Very, very few protestants play hurling.
Do we therefore suffer from having a smaller pool?
Maybe someone can shed a little light on this.

Agree with almost everything. We have made a tiny bit of progress, you would be contradicting yourself  if you said otherwise and here is why. You said only way to improve is games, games, games. That's what the group league did. They may not have been the greatest teams in Ireland but they are a step up from Down, Derry and Armagh. I'm not saying it's perfect (far from it). But being in Leinster is a step in the right direction. 

I agree 100%, the younger our players are playing at Leinster level the better.

Think if minors, U21s, possibly even younger were getting that competition regularly it can't do us any harm. Was at all group league games this year (even though it was middle of the road teams) we have definitely improved. Even the Wexford game we were competitive, just silly goals cost us. All Ireland is a long long way off yet.

Agree Asal think some Tipp fans could do with a reality check though. 6 or 7 in a row on here saying how many they are going to beat kk by.

Enjoy Bonamargy - watch all the headcases about this weekend in the town.

My goodness you're sensitive. Good luck with championship, I actually think you will run Loughguile closer than anyone else. You have both the forwards and defenders to do so. Horses for courses!!

I agree it is all about championship Bonamargy but surely you can understand the importance of a senior division two team and the importance they attach to gaining promotion. Your own club has done it in the recent past. There is a lot more to be gained in development and experience  (regularly playing the top teams) from this as they have little chance of winning the championship. Ask Glenariffe, Sarsfields, Naomh Gall. Staying or getting promoted to the top flight is high on their agenda. I seem to have hit a nerve. Bit of humility goes a long way.

League incentive is different for division 2 teams though.......Don't think a Ballycastle man should be using that quote. Almost 30 years if I'm not mistaken.

Agree north antrim he was honest and dignified!! Good to hear.

Saul also doing well since he came on. Don't talk nonsense skull!!
