f**k sake cut boys a bit of slack hey boy.  60+ boys went out and hurled last night, your predictions were right but sure who wouldn't have predicted what happened.  Stop your antics, not a bit of wonder noone likes yez

Sure every body really loves the Johnnies, dont they, I dont think so pal!

I told you so, too easy for Cushendall.  GNM were good for the first 20 minutes and won a lot of great ball.  Cushendall class came through in the end of the first half, 1 goal and six points un-answerered by GNM. A real breeze for Cushendall.  Gort boys too fond of the drink, not fit and very slow off the mark, I think.  See, my prediction was right, 5 points plus.

Our fellas in the second half against Rossa, just moved it up a gear, Rossa were very flat in the second half.  Aidan Hamill was unusally quiet on the line, well I suppose you cant really shout at your son.  Connolly is well past it, even when put into full forward, Jesus christ, he was even very slow there.

I must say you sound like a lovely person.  Thanks for the many compliments you just paid us!!  Terry Reilly, our chairperson, who referee's and who sits on various county committee's voluntarily does hail from our club and we're proud of him.  He's a good lad who could be sitting in the house.  I think your the swine in this case coming on an online message board without displaying your name and calling people swines?  Catch yourself on ya coward.

Hardly desperate measures by the way - read the post again - unless of course you thought you were funny.  Amadán

Amadán, I don't think so! A good lad, well thats your opinion of course. Referee, Huh!  Do you display your name

No and neither does anyone else on this thing but i don't come on here and run people down using their names like you did especially volunteers who are doing more than their fair share.  Leave it at that. 

Of course you don't come on here and run anybody down, sure how could a GNM Man run anybody down!  Volunteer, I don't think so, I travel the Length and breadth of the country with non payment, I may add.  can you say the same about the likes of Reilly?

Off to the matches now.  Predictions, GNM will beaten by 5 points plus.  Rossa will give our guys a good run for it but will prevail in the end.

What do people think about the iminent appointment of the new Hurling Manager.  The talk is that Cyril Farrell is going to take up the gauntlet!  You GortNa Mona boys might get a look in then, given that he hails from Galway. Baps boys and all that.

By the way, we've worked out how we're going to beat the Dall.  They're training tonight - we've a few swine flu victims here in Turf Lodge who have just returned from the Gaeltacht so we're going to send them up under the guise of Sports Masseurs and let them cough all over them!!!  Then if our calculations are right, they'll have to field their minor team = we win (maybe)!!  Simple

Nah, the gameplan is there is no game lan apart from working away at our game we've played all year.  Go out and hurl 15 v 15 and work til the end.  That's our magic formula.

MR, that should be a fairly  handy fixture for you and i see that you are playing on the igger pitch on Shaws Road too - should suit you down to the ground.  Can't see any real upset in your next fixture either.  Th only ones capable of doing anything after against you are Carey i think.  They're one of them team who are capable of going out and hurling the balleeks outa ye or that will lie down but i doubt that will be the case if they get to the final.  You's will have way too much v St Pauls and Lamh Dhearg.  St Pauls have an owl Casemnet voodoo but i think they tend to overrate themselves mostly anyway and Lámh Dhearg only have the Herrons plus one or two others but nothing that should upset yous.  I know you'll say its all about the next game but the owl Ulster Intermediate Run and (hopefully) All IReland series will be great for your club if you manage it well and get all the kids to every game.  Class buzz, but sure of course yous know that with the footballing expediations.

I dont know about a few swine flu victims up at the Gorts Hatchetfield, but you certainly have a few swines up there all the same!  Does Terrible Reilly hail from Turflodge? A classic example of a 'Swine'.  The rest of the gort lads not too bad all the same.  Geordie Ferguson and the Mackles were a good bunch of lads. I see you are beginning to adopt desperate tactics just like your neighbours down the Rock road!

that would be silly. means that Tommy McIntyre would not be able to referee teams as Loughgiel always get to the final!!! so by your train of thought he'd have it in for some players from the games he referees??

the referees who are getting the senior championship matches are jocking for position to get the final.  who will get it this year? Big Eugene (final year) Tommy? if Loughgiel don't make it? Pat McCaff (speedy, now Rossa man) or the three likely lads Ray (christ he's put on weight ) Owen (great semi final last year) or Garret (sound whistler)

i'm thinking there might be a dark horse this year, Terry Reilly has been making strides this year and could be on course to spring a shock

I would agree MR, though both Ray and Garrett have had finals this last 2 years, so it would count them out. I think Owen Elliott would be favoured with Liam MC Auley(Herbie) decent spud, the lad that was assaulted after the Feis. To early for Terry, maybe in the next few years though, think he lacks the experience watched him a few times this year.Speedy would,nt have a chance at all, although has been a great servant to the county. My money is on Elliott with Herbie a close 2nd, all joking aside Ray has put on the beef, struggled at Loughguile to keep up with play. Don,t know the lad Cunning have,nt seen him yet, look forward to Saturday, big chance for him maybe. As said, hope Rossa give a good account of themselves, us city boys need something to cheer.

Think the Rossa v Shamrocks will be a cracker, fortune favours the brave lets hope Rossa give it a real go, city needs something. Who is Colm Cunning (referee)? Is he one of the new lads on the scene, lets hope he lets the game develop into what should be worth the admittance fee on the night.

Same ref doing this game as youtube, heard last night he was in a bad way at the pitch, straight on the throat/neck very lucky poor lad, hope he comes through it with no lasting damage, freek one to say the least

skull everyone plays there part on the day, that team of officials on viewing the video did,nt thats what i am saying so in the interest of consistency the are all equally to blame. Players will always try to get away with what they can, thats why you have officials. On the day they got it wrong based on the video i may add, thats all. Good lads that they are, they too can make mistakes so they all have it to answer for, hows that.

Skull I'm not saying he should have got everthing, the referee, umpires, line come on. The video shows no consulting with umpires, yes he consults with the line however the referee and all his officials should have been consulted then maybe they would have got the whole picture. Its the toughest job around and seems to be getting tougher.WBFFS-Ref what happened on Sunday, I'm a city man so be careful, did St Johns lose control, what about winker and MC FLL whats your views on this one? TR is on the CHC what about him, decent lad from my experience, what have you against him.

Skull his angle was better than that of the video, as it starts he steps in? 5 from dunloy has a pop at 10 from shamrocks, 11 who is on the deck gets up and pops 5 the same time as ding responds to 5 having a go. Now it happened fast but he is right on the spot, i can see why some people got pissed at him, however it was an absolute disgrace what happened to him after the game, no place in the game and should be dealt with severely.

wbffs-ref, i think the ref is from the All Saints club that sits on the CCC in NA, would,nt want to be in his shoes if he has made a mistake according to anailis!

In all seriousness skull, i would agree with wbffsref i think the linesman has a lot to answer for, he should have made the call!!!!

Anailis you seem to well informed for a Shamrocks man!!! I would be careful though, i think the Hounds are now on your scent.. making those statements, must check back to see if you have used the word allegedly, hope you have! Joe Brolley would love to get his pearly whites into a good liable case.

MR took great heart from last night, thought the boys with their limited prep did themselves proud, lets hope next year will turn the tide. Don,t want a slanging match MR, just want city hurling back on its feet. Anailis sounds as though he,s up for it in more than one sense.

i was at the first training session Jim took at Corrigan Park. there was Galls men there and 3 StPauls men and 1 McDermott's man and A Lamhs player.

so was my club at fault? Where was all the Sarsfields men the St Teresa's men and all the other clubs that should be pushing themselves into this team?

Even the better st Paul's players did not even turn up and support Jim (a fellow clubman) that night nor anyother night.

players from the team expressed their private views to me about this team, i will not discuss them here with you but i will meet you (should you like) to iron out your problems with the issues you have with me. you can PM me if you like.

what team members informed you? and i don't have 'street cred' nor do i seek it

also i never came on here and said i knew more than Jim Nelson, he asked me about players in the club who'd be willing to play.

what date do they play Cushendall?

MR I don,t have the problem, however your offer to meet intrigues me? I am asking myself should i bring the footstool? So that we discuss the issues F2F, suffice to say the real people know the truth, and i think your defensive posts say it all. I would give the board up, you probably are doing yourself an injustice in the long run, i hear your not a bad spud, and on the discussion that you offered, grow up Mismatch of the year, put it back in your trousers, justifies my previous comments "Idiot". Belfast hurling this year has lost its best opportunity to lift itself, and at least you can say that you where part of that.

I will take my leave, all that needs to said on my part is done, i hope that sometime in the future someone can lift Hurling in the City. North Antrim seem to be doing it and they deserve the credit thats due them, the town won,t get an easy game and hopefully that will prove my point, and stick to people who killed it in the city.
