He can sing but every now and again he goes into this half talking, half singing, rap, rant type thing that is terrible. And as for some of the lyrics - absolutely ridiculous at times. Listened to one of his albums for the first time the other day and burst out laughing a few times. Acquired taste indeed.

That said the odd good song but way way over rated.

most of the 'country' events are now much more of a family day out.

Maybe we need to give it time and eventually it can all be a family day out (for them obviously). While the banner in question is an absolute disgrace its not as if the 11th/12th was gonna change over night.

Anybody hear Graham Hunter on newstalk this morning saying Rafa is trying to sign the Porto winger Quaresma - might not be a bad addition

Was a big fan of Newstalk but yer one Claire Byrne is beginning to grate with her little tirades and Ger Gilroy can be smarmy. That said I havent quite defected to old FM yet but it could be on the way

at just under 20% of the island's population, they could be bothersome if they're not properly cherished.

Interesting to see how FF would manage that one but manage it they would. A permanent DUP/FF coalition!! mcDowell wouldnt seem so bad then...

I think the worm has well and truly turned in this, whatever sympathy they had, and everyone feels for them, is being slowly eroded by their lust for attention. I am just waiting for news of the book deal, chatshow, etc. MBE is already in the post i would think. Its all getting a bit tasteless on their part. I hope their other 2 kids are being well looked after while they tour the world in a private jet.

Idiot. Of course if it was your child you'd just let it lie.

Went to Trinity years ago and remember this annual nightmare well. It can only have got worse what with rental prices increasing.

Some of the places we ended up staying had to be seen to be believed.

Best of luck Gallsman

Hopefully Arsenal pick up the 3 points tomorrow

Definitely united are getting very close on the league titles front

what do you boys think of hugh mcgettigan?

Did/does he teach in St Marys?

Its great for keeping an interest in all the games even after your county is out. Particularly enjoyed the mini leagues you can set up with mates.

Only thing is a lot of people just stop playing hence the loads of zeros etc - what about a rule that if you miss four weeks or whatever your removed. Makes the league more meaningful.

Excellent - keep up the good work!

little unfair?? We're bad but the worst in the country - I think not

The same was asked of Galway and they dont seem keen - they've also remained more or less competitive in a province with only themselves - what happens to the Ulster Championship then?

Given the constant complaints about club hurling in Antrim on this board are we not better off seeing were an improvement in the club hurling structures takes us before we decide

Obviously wish Sambo and Woody all the best and hope they can move us forward but if you give someone the job they achieve what was asked of them and then they are immediately replaced what does that say? Is it a pre-requisite that your the players choice cause if so lets just be done with it and ask the squad who they want managing them. But as has been said its done now and  hope it goes well.

Read the Irish News article McGourty says very little in it and was obviously asked for his opinion - he shouldnt give it of course but cant see the big deal this time

Why was Sambo and Woody given a 3 year term and McKernan only a one year term?

Forgive my ignorance but how does the appointment of Antrim managers work??

It that not very harsh - I cant claim to know very much about club hurling or the last manager but I go to the majority of the county hurling games and Jim McKernan did everything that was asked of him.

On what basis was this decision made? Is it simply that the position is up for grabs every year? In the interests of continuity this seems a bad decision
