In bad taste JC, didn't say he himself was looking support MR2, I know for a fact he sorts out all gear himself with sponsorship and his umpires always look like the dogs anytime Ive seen them, again was referring to your club and its overall lack of involvement/support in anything other than football, and you as stated previously where at the sharp end of that stick where you not?

Loughgiel will be happy with Garrets appointment I'd say

More than his/your own club from what I hear MR2, get more support from a pair of socks! Nice way to go out though, good luck to him Im sure he,ll be glad to leave it all behind him after this weekend.

Support? What ya on about? I referee and I'm looking for support in what sense? Anyone refereeing to get support is a fool. You referee cause you want to, a bit like playing hurling and football.

FFS MR2 its not about you, I know thats hard to take, but its not! making Ref to your club and its total lack of support which you should be fully aware of from what I hear recently

Hardstation you missing both Glenarrife games? Some clubman I jest!
From what I hear u will need a big improvement to best a full strength Glenarrife team but home advantage will hopefully do that. The oisins will be ready after last weeks events no doubt about that.

btdtgtt

No harm but you were one of the people writing them off and bigging up Cushendall when there was never going to be anything in the game. League and championship hurling two different animals lads.

Absolutely! I fancied Cushendall to win the game and I was wrong! Make no bones about it!
Thats why I make the comment about repsecting Dunloy all the more for it.
I am sure there's plenty of people in the Bridge hoping I am wrong again on the final. No point sitting on fences so I'm going for the Shamrocks but like evceryone else I've ne wrong before!

Maybe you will get to this game for a change, you always seem to have some excuse

[Surprised that PJ has let his name go forward]

from HS;

Former Carlow boss Kevin Ryan is the only outside man in the race. The ex-Waterford hurler will have to fight off competition from Antrim men Gregory O'Kane, PJ Mullan and Michael Johnston, who managed Armagh for the last four years.

Antrim chairman Jim Murray says all four candidates have been contacted and are happy to be interviewed. He added that the interview panel can also recommend a further candidate if they know of one.


Surprised that PJ has let his name go forward, I thought he'd be creating a dynasty with Loughgeil!

Not sure there was much behind this.  Would only work if Jim Nelson went with him and don't think he was interested.

Dick and PJ pulled out before the interview stage.

Dick pulled out of PJ??? strange one there

Id say If Dick got a hold of you MR2 hed be pulling out something out of you

Christ lads I need to get a job in the civil service, Im glad I have created such a stir, Winker fair play to you, I get a laugh when I read the posts. We are always easy to have a pop at, I grant you that, but most of the lads I know give a massive amount of time to doing 2,3,4 games a week listening to players managers supporters BS about the rules which they haven't a clue about, but learned when they where juveniles. Waiting months on expenses, bringing umpires,  lads again calling it as they see it and getting dogs abuse from everyone as well. Listening to the same old rhetoric down south they do this, down south they wouldn't blow that, down south that would shaft the north in two seconds given half a chance, so save it for the pitch, or sideline. The poor quality of referees lies with the county and referees committee who don't put any time or investment at all into the referee's so when you get on your soap box have a go at the county executive or Paddy Quinn or Tommy Mc Intyre ( there's enough having a go at Frankie) and leave the men in the middle alone for a while.

Go along to casement tonight or Armoy tomorrow and listen for a change to the pure BS spewed  by Managers players and supporters at one man, that's big of them isnt it. 

Winker3716 your some crac, your know your referees I'll give you that.

Couldn't believe that St Brides from south Belfast who actively discouraged hurling in the south of the city actually proposed a member of the their club for the Minor Hurling Managers job, they must have proposed a 50% reduction in expenses, music to the county chairman's ears. Times they are a changing.

Lads I am a fairly active referee in the county, so no need to guess is he or isn't he? Getting well pissed off reading some of the dribble on the site, watch it all the time, sick of  lads having a go at the referee's, looking to contribute as positively as possible, but wont get into a slanging match, and will within reason be as straight as possible. Look forward to some healthy discussions and debate.
