If you're a sky customer you can watch the hurling final for free via this (and I would think the football final too)

I'm not advocating what's been said here but I do believe in reading the whole picture rather than just one side.

the UK economy is a mess

house prices are up but a lot of poorer people are very scared about the future.

output per hour worked in the UK economy in q2 14 was 16 per cent lower than if the trend rate of increase from the start of 1999 to the end of 2007 had continued.

Thatcherism has well and truly destroyed the UK

do you know anyone living in the UK?

Whether he does or he doesn't who knows, but he certainly seems to know more people who live in cloud cuckoo land. I'm certainly no advocate of Thatcherism but to say the uk is well and truly destroyed is absolute poppycock (a word I've picked up in my 21 years over here). There are lots of problems but also a thriving middle class with plenty of opportunities for progress for almost anyone shouldthey want them.

[grit]

The lack of chat on here about our county team playing in a national final tomorrow proves to me that we still have this arrogance about us that we believe we are better than what we are and haven't come to terms that Christy Ring is our level. Waken up folks, its not 1989 anymore!!! I think we will be in for a rude awakening tomorrow afternoon against a decent Meath side.

County website has failed me again. No fancy banner when you go online to let you know about the final.

We are either really arrogant or really stupid in Antrim (or maybe both!).

I think the problem is we are slightly above Christy Ring standard but not near the level for competitiveness of above it. I know early results this year in the league suggest other wise but that how I see it.

Makes for a shite situation where either you should win everything and how can you get excited about something you shouldn't lose, keep in mind tomorrow for Antrim fans there is no respectable performance from tomorrow other than a win. In a way its a case of we have more to lose than to gain from tomorrow because we can only really lose credibility in our own eyes.

If we go a level up we will get drubbed, leaves us in a frustrating limbo situation.

Some of this is arrogance I suppose, I'll be cheering on the Saffs tomorrow anyway as you can only win what your in, and some silver ware should help morale.

Guarantees us a Leinster Quarter Final next year if I'm not mistaken. That should be our goal. Try and reach a Leinster semi final. Surely that would give us a bit of motivation. We have to beat Meath though!

I agree we shouldn't be underestimating Meath as our wobbles at the start of the year showed, seems a bit more grit in the team since the new set-up though thankfully.

Didn't see much of that

Fairy tale? Not everyone is convinced.

Is that not libellous?

Has this person got nothing better to do with their time? (or are some bitter fan from one of Leicester's local rivals, Forest or Derby)

I thought maybe the story had gone, but.....

Pull the team out of competition.

I'd tend to disagree with you on this one, while understanding your reasoning. However, in a situation like this you might well be right. Surely  at the very least the sponsors would have some recourse?

Is the current situation not the reality of where we actually stand? Kevin Ryan lost to Westmeath and Carlow last year too, we don't have the depth of players and allied to that the apathy that's throughout the county, for the county teams at least, is never going to get us anywhere. As others have said a root and branch review from the bottom up is needed. Without getting into all this inter club shite we'd be going nowhere with Cody, Loughnane or whoever would be in charge with the current apathy towards the county team, players, supporters and everybody.

Any one know a site that u could stream the fight off?? many thanks

What time does it start?

Ringwalks 10.45

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
The Beatles - The Beatles aka The White Album
Muse - Absolution
U2 - Boy
Arcade Fire - Funeral

Is this the worst ever performance by any Kerry team in an AI final? Brutal.

Certainly, in recent times anyway. So much for Fitzmaurice's tactical nous

It's taken Carney half an hour to say there was no malice in it
