2.  'BRING BACK HUMPY'.....go and check your temperature, think you've got a fever and it's making you dilusional! What has he ever achieved as a manager....nothing. There's no track record there, he walked out on us (prior to being sacked) for a paid coaching/management role so don't go on about the money money money, (wee song there!)....when you talk of people who shouldn't be allowed back add Humpy to your list. And go a step further add yourself to the list. Your 'support' is neither wanted nor needed in our club.

This looks like a re-writing of history here.

As far as I know Humpy's first coaching\management role since leaving Ballycastle has been with Glenariffe (who approached him) this year. So he didn 't walk out for a paid role anywhere.  And "prior to being sacked"?  First I've heard of it though that may have been the plan.  The same sort of plan that had to be implemented against Raymond.
I think most people know what happened to Humpy & Nander and who was responsible.

What has he achieved? 
Wasn't he involved with Antrim senior hurlers with McKernan when they won the Christy Ring?

Was he not involved with a school Camogie team that won an All-Ireland?

Did he not take Camogie teams to Feile titles and a 7-a-side title?

I'd ask what has any manager achieved with this squad despite having some very talented hurlers.  Michael McShane couldn't achieve anything with them and he had 3 years at it.  And yet he goes to Slaughtneil and turns them into Ulster champions.  Nander goes to Cloughmills and takes them to a championship.

Until attitudes change among some of the players it wouldn't matter if we had Cody and all his backroom team running the show.

FINALLY another town man that sees and speaks sense. few and far between.cowards of players plotting the exit of managers doesn't sit well with me. then the same coward went and asked Ray only to stab him in the back when things wasn't going well.   wonder will BMA take the team next?

here fella. id use the prayers for something other than proving me wrong 

skinny has more good games than bad. but that was a very bad one. Town simply wallpapering over major cracks. we're still a disgrace!! in two weeks time will NMA get his mate the road like the managers before him?  or is all good because he can run the show the way he wants to?  Club mustn't have came up with the few shillings for the money man from the states.  little temperamental toe rag!!!!!    BRING BACK HUMPY!!!!

Ok ok ok....we get it, you're wholly disgruntled with the management/committee situation in the town at present but really.....is slabbering on here helping the cause? Let's get real on a few things:

1.  If you want to continue bullying a 21yr old lad who oozes talent and has more hurling skill in his pinky fingernail than you probably have in your whole body then man up and go have a conversation with the chap. No one is arguing that Sauls commitment isn't what we'd like it to be but he's young and influential and bullying him on here sure as hell ain't going to encourage him in the right direction!

Apologies to everyone on this forum, every club has a clown and it seems this ejit is ours *head in hands* :-(

listen here sonny boy.  i've done more for our club than you'll no. so dont be pissing down my leg and telling me it's raining!! anything i've said is 100% bang on the money.  if you don't like it don't read it. Sauls a lost cause,we're a lost cause, and you haven't a clue if you think different!! How can a coach achieve a 'track record' if he's not let try do his job?  he was stabbed in the back by our players. we haven't one man on the team that could have went and put an issue across to him. all cowards!! rather just backstab him and be done.  he done more for our club than the entire squad put together.wouldnt be hard mind you!!  Saul has never finished anything in his life. he'll eventually walk away from ballycastle soccer for some other team like always. self centered child who needs to grow up

not long home.  have to say i actually feel bad for rossa. Far better team on the night.  embarrassing from the ref,  we showed fight but the ref 100% kept the town in the game.  Connolly won countless ball and was fouled countless times. i was standing amongst dunloy ones who couldn't believe there eyes at some of his calls. regardless a win is a win. the circus that is Ballycastle senior hurlers 2017 rolls on for another couple of weeks.  All the hard men with the blinkers on that didn't want to listen  where's Saul? 

Saul left the group.   

Are you from the town because you seem to know a lot more that's going on than most of the members of the club by the sounds of it .

i know plenty.   and you can't argue with any of it.  31 years since we won a county title at senior level. some of the talent that passed those gates.  and a lad that blew in from Carey can call the shots on a manager who would have died for our club getting the boot!!!   maybe if he put as much effort in on the field as he did hanging humpy we wouldn't be in this shape.  Going back to Saul, best thing to happen would he leave him at the football.  holding the club to ransom with his careless attitude.   bring back nander pinky and the boys with a bit of heart to take the team rather than that skitter from dunloy and a lad who couldn't hurl spuds to ducks

Incredible crap from you. I've been critical of club on here but your stuff is slanderous and dangerous. All your posts previous to this debate were slanderous also. Please keep your "pub talk" to your pub and let the lads focus on this weekend. We have had a disaster of a season but still think we won't be far away on Saturday. Saul will be there. He will play a part. Neal who has been a stalwart will also play. He does need a big game but he rarely lets down in championship.

Good luck to everyone this weekend

no crap here.  am simply speaking the truth.   what part of the above do you as a town man disagree on,   i'll say again.  if Neil wasn't otherwise occupied by getting good men sacked he'd maybe hurl more.  to call him a stalwart is laughable.   zero balls.  had no problem to humpys face.  but stabbed him in the back!!!    a man who has actually brought pride to the black and amber.   what has this stalwart ever done?   and saul play a part??   they were told players who played soccer this week would be dropped from possible selection!!!!   his reply was. "am playing.  f**k use" and hasn't been seen or heard from since!!!   is it one rule for him because we gave him a few pound???    maybe you don't no all that you think you do??

Some good laughs on this feed . Saul didn't go back to America because he was refused entry at the airport . Can see us winning by 5-6 on Saturday but it depends which team turns up, time Neal mcauley and a few of the so called senior players stood up and be counted when we need them the most .

nothing to do with the chairman reaching him money to stay and fight relegation? I agree it's time NMA stood up.  he's maybe to busy getting managers sacked to concentrate on hurling??  he's credited with the last two!!!!!

  he walked away from whoever he was playing with after being flew out and looked after. him and his girlfriend no less 

That's just not true.

And this isn't true either.

Do give me a laugh at your side of things then.  cause my info came from the horses mouth!! why didn't he return to the states??   he's a lost cause.  Clarkes attitude is 100 times better.  and the town are a lost cause.  i can go a lot deeper if you'd like.  i just don't think here is the place for it

i said US above  .  i mean them, am a free lancer.  ran from my own club by the big cloaks

am hearing is eligible to play now myself.  he walked away from whoever he was playing with after being flew out and looked after. him and his girlfriend no less 

the big men in cloaks that run the show behind the scenes for us ( getting managers fired and loosing games to get lads removed and so on) got the young lad a few £ to come home from the states early.  now am hearing he won't field for them as he's a soccer game        what's wrong with young lads now a days!!!!    boys a boys!!!!

Championship Weekend coming up now what's everyone's predictions

Senior
Ballycastle v Rossa - I'll go Ballycastle by 5
Loughgiel v Creggan - Loughgiel by 15+
Dunloy v St Johns - Dunloy by 8
Cloughmills v Cushendall - Cushendall by 15+

Intermediate
Tir Na Og v Carey - Carey by 2

Junior
Gort Na Mona v St Paul's - Gort by 3
Glenarm v Glenravel - Glenarm by 6

I expect something very similar

Rossa by whatever they want.   ballycastle couldn't win an argument and the players attitudes are nothing short of a disgrace to that once great club. 

loughgiel by 10+
St. john +1
C dall +15

Carey +3
Gort + 5
glenravel +1
again.   ballycastle and some of there players should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!    wonder will they give Saul a few more £ to play this weekend. 

Dunloy have improved a fair bit this season and St John's are just ok so I could see Dunloy winning with a bit to spare. Rossa v Ballycastle is probably going to be the tie of the round. With Ciaran Clarke and Saul McCaughan up front you've always a chance even with lots missing. Sarsfields also play St. Galls this weekend and that could go either way.

can Saul Mc Caughan hurl for the town?   Wasn't he in San Fran hurling for the summer?? or did he walk away (as usual)  after being looked after all summer?? 

Simon McCrory accusation is utter nonsense.

it's a fact it's no accusation. you'd be best knowing the inns and outs of it.half the team and ex manager backed London. embarrassing.   

The whole county knows it no point In denying it. It's a discussion board it's here to be discussed..

Yeah discussions that don't include personal accusations.

some things just need said. ex manager had a substantial bet on London also, hell I even no members of the county board who had money on London.And people wonder why the county is in the shape it's in. forget the hurling and plant spuds in the pitches I say.

What other words of wisdom do you have?

all in good time PJ.  all in good time mate
