How's Deaghlan O'Hagan doing at CHB? Was in school with him and played against him during his Sarsfields days. Wouldn't have had him down as an inter-county player to be honest.

as far as i know, o hagain played for sarsfields when he before st brigids had a club in his local area. i dont think you can say he wasnt inter county material when youre talking about such a young age. he was outstanding for qub in the mckenna cup and played well against wicklow but came off with a blood injury to the face.

was at the game yesterday too. agree very much with most of what glensman and gold have already said. although once again we failed to grind out a result, i did come away particularly encouraged by some of our free flowing football at times, in particular loughrey, cairan close and michael mc cann. aidso gallagher, despite the odd mistake, did show plenty of bite and passion throughout the game and didn't let his head drop. it's easy to sit and say how the team should be picked from sitting in the stand but it's clear we need a big, strong, physical ball-winner in the full foward line. the likes of dara edwards or niblock would be ideal for laying it off to tomás, cj or paddy cunningham. it's also a pity magill has a job in london as his physical presence was missed yesterday.

why aren't paul close, andy mc clean and sean kelly in the NFL squad?

You're on the wind up. Raph Gatt, is that a real name?

Raph Gatt fegs.

Could some of these people who are so against the comments on this board not come on and have a rational debate about things? Everything has to resort down to personal attacks.

Go on begrudgers, stop the insults and have a rational debate.

I agree.

Has the McKenna cup squad been finalised? Any views about the new faces in the panel? Any stand-out st lower division players involved?

saffron sam, you make some very valid points most of the time, and i can see where you're coming from about the recent appointment of the new county football manager... but give it over about which club nominated the man. the fact is that he's there now and for once, ALL of us as a county should get behind him. i'm delighted to hear the St Gall's players will be returning to the squad, and also that Bradley has left the door open to Kevin McGourty. A fresh start for everyone.

now, the main issue of my post, was anyone at the senior football trials at jordanstown the other nite? i heard the trialists defeated the current panel.

who played well for the trialists? anyone look like they could step up and help antrim to a victory over Donegal?

get kevin mc gourty and james loughrey from antrim in the panel, fine atheletes and footballers who won't take the bully boy shite tactics from the aussies
