I could name a few from your part of world who would come under same umberella then. I wont get involved in a petty argument with you. We can agree to disagree. I would have him with me in any battle i go to.

the brother is a tough boy. I aint offended skull. He gives as good as he gets.

I heard he attacked herbie from behind like a sleekit dog. He's some man alright. Must run in the family. WTF comes into people to do stuff like that and as you say Max have let down their whole club.

Like it wasn't even an Ulster Final    

Skull - f**k off. Must run in the family. Dont come on here an question anyones family.

time will tell. You probably know more about it than i do. Either way is was an incident that shouldnt have happened.

Shamrock, just interested are the club going to deal with it in an attempt to avoid a punishment from the county board?

In all honesty I would still expect the county to take some action as this has to be rooted out.

Cant shed alot of light on this NAG. I honestly dont think club are trying to avoid punishment. They believe it or not feel that they must punish the man regardless of county and will take what ever punishment county throw at us. But rumours that they will suspend us etc is total crap

from my understanding the club will be dealing with it

Well lads, my apologise for not posting earlier in week. Disappointed at losing Feis final. Like someone said earlier, Cushendall wont be too worried from what they saw from either side. Although imo the best team on night lost.

Cant let this pass without commenting on the incident that happened after the match. It was a disgrace and one which will be dealt with. No room for that in our great sport.

Must congratulate Glenarm on a great Feis. I was one who doubted the choice of venue, but i was there both on sat and sun and both days were exceelent in terms of stewarding, provision and craic. Well done.

Thats out of order lad.........this isnt the place to discuss personal issues of someone.

With the weather to involve torrential downpours for the rest of the week and Sunday included will Glenarm have the parking facilities to cope with the feis.

How's thing going with the Shamrocks this year, will youse be missing many this weekend

things going ok. Hooker has totally changed the team in terms of positional changes. Ding, Skinner and Barney all playing up front!! and to be fair it has worked with both ding and barney playing exceptionally well up there. But leaves us weaker back in defence. Hard to know what will happen come championship time. We will have most players available as far as i know. Winker wont play this year for us. Hasnt been around and is playing the soccer ticket!! We have a bunch of lads at min who are 100% committed so maybe better to go with them.......

What about yourselves??

Feis finals this weekend.....back to this time of year. Championship is around the corner. We play our friends Dunloy on Sunday evening. Should be a competitive game as both needs wont want to lose. We are ticking over nicely but then again we always are at this time!! Any word about make up of North Antrim team. I heard they beat ballycran over the weekend. Our own Joe Scullion is helping with the team.

   

Never mind the Feis Final

Have been in hiding these past 9 months after the beating we took in last years final . But time is a good healer and hope is eternal

What do you make Skull of final being in glenarm? think it will def affect the crowd. There was a great crowd for last years final in your place.

lads lads lads.......

for god sake get over it. Liam has a broken jaw. End of. Like you say if you live by sword etc etc. No ones complaining. He got hit a couple of dirty slaps, he plays it tough so you get on with it. Whether he plays any role in final remains to be seen. But its not hear say.
Semi final is over. Dunloys gone. Can i just add that i have nothing but respect for Dunloy. They have been the BEST team in Antrim over last 14 years. Ally Elliot, Dick OKane etc are legends of the game. But worse for Dunloy- impossible to replace.

We have a serious game on our hands against Ruairi Ogs. We will need to get back down to earth quickly, get the hard work done on the training field and then go battle with the mighty men from the Dall. Has the making of another great game. Will we be able to get up to the same level of intensity as we showed on wednesday night. Will Dall be able to turn it on for the first time really this season. But they are the one team capable of it.

Another great night for us last night winning back to back minor titles. Another sign of the sea change in Hurling in Antrim.

Im not going to start gloating

The best team won. Like a few of you have said, we were certainly fitter, hungrier and that old cliche we wanted it more. To be fair thats a monkey off our back. We havent put dunloy out of the championship in 20 years so mentally it was a massive win.

But we are only in the final - and have nothing won. Having spoke to a couple of players today - theres a big change from previous years. You can see we are playing to a system, which never happened before so the management derserve praise there. But Cushendall will be a diff proposition in the final.

They will be favourites as they "know how to win finals" and we don't.

Thought ref was good, fair and let things go. As for the last 10 mins, i wont make much comment. Dunloy let themseloves down and deserve the crap that comes with it. Some of the slaps, tackles were a disgrace and if the shoe was on the other foot we would be getting slated!

By i wont complain - we are where we want to be.

Another big night tonight - minors play Gort Na Mona - the club is buzzin at min - sop hopefully that can drive the lads on tonight

Just after reading through all the posts about yesterdays game. Some good debate and some rubbish as well from our point of view we didnt perform for a good part of the game. the last 17 minutes of game was one way traffic. Like my dunloy friends said, we were winning all the 50 50 balls and turning ball at a serious rate. Dunloy were there for the taking and in my opinion still are. Our lads have come away very confident and know mentally they can match the dunloys. on the other hand theres prob no way paddy richmond will be held scoreless again and they wont score for 20 minutes. And as skull says there will be some soul searching for them to do. They have been through this before and im sure they will come out a different animal on wed night. But i honestly feel that if our lads dont freeze, we will squueze through with the game going to the wire. Id like to see a few of our younger lads thrown on with 10 to go to freshen it up and run at dunloys tiring legs - Tony mcCloskey, McKillop etc.

Two nights in a row to casement - expensive week for us folk!

Will dunloy change their line up??

lads - lets stop going on about Watson. its his choice, let him get on with it. From our point of view he rarely lets us down on the big day. Dunloy - i hope he proves all you begrudgers wrong.

As for the best team "on the day" wins - well your probably right. But what i said the best team doesnt aways win i.e. its all on the day. Are Waterford better than Tipp, should portaferry have beat C'dall in Ulster final a few years ago. So at min Dunloy are best team. My argument is that that doesnt meanyou will beat us at weekend.

from all accounts, dunloy are talking themselves up - "were flying, our forwards are unstoppable at min, its our centennary, you lads will never beat us in a big game" all direct quotes from dunloy people i have spoke to in last week or so.So lets wait to Sunday - or maybe its all the "Windmill training" you have been doing
