Here lads whats the craic - Moneyglass Ticket sellers up our way not getting good press.

Calling in a lot of places twice and being a bit pushy... Do they have a name for this?

Been ticket selling myself in the past not a nice job!!!

I’ve had them at my door and tbh they were decent lads. No bullshit from them.

It'll take a very good team to beat Dunloy..

Or their under21’s! Going through the grades they are healthy, well done to all involved, doesn’t happen by chance

Yip totally agree. Foundations were set in place when the new academy was built and its reaping it rewards now. Are they the benchmark for youth development over the last few years?

Citroen C4 VTR+ Query

Have just bought a Citroen C4 and there is a constant noise in the car when idle, it is like when you get the buzzing noise when you use your windscreen washer pump but it is constant.

Then there is another noise that is like a tap which occurs every second.

Does anyone know what these noises could be?

Is it a diesel? If so then it could be an injector.

Did any suspensions ever come out of the PG1 v St Johns match earlier in the year when the crowd and the players had a go at each other??

Pictures or videos or it didn’t happen

There is no doubt that during the troubles the provos kept areas drug free, but now its a different types of republican in some areas, its the type that claim DLA and hate the Queen but line their pocket each week with her money and are happy to deal drugs and use "the cause" as an excuse. 

Drugs especially cocaine are flooding rural ares where I'm from. I've saw first hand what damage drugs can do as I'm sure we all have, its heartbreaking how people can get hooked. Professional people who should know better. We are the lucky ones who never involved but I'd be careful of what you say, you never know when it lands on your own doorstep.

They know what they are doing. I know the father of a current road racer who was pronounced dead twice inside 10mins 2 years ago, 7 months later he was back on the bike. He knows nothing else and it’s all he wants to do, his father or wife have no way of stopping him. They’ve just accepted it and they all boarded the boat last night for southern 100 on the Isle of Man.

Terrible news about William, heartbreaking. I spent an hour in his company a few months, a quiet unassuming man. God love the family.

It’s all over the place. Places of work, GAA clubs and the new drug of choice.

So the Mrs & I took the step of getting a rates review, a man came out to the house last week and measured it and saw what we meant about water, bins etc. Phoned this afternoon and told us that there was a miscalculation of our rates and there will be a reduction. Apparently we were
listed for having mains water and now there is a wind turbine in our view, it also helps. Not sure how much they will reduce the rates by but every little helps!

Terrible news about John McCaughan from Cushendun.

God rest him, a hardy tight fecker on the pitch and gentleman off it.

Life is to short lads, enjoy it.

The hurlers getting in on the act according the GPA statement.

Earlier this evening the Kildare and Antrim Senior Hurling Teams issued a statement expressing their unhappiness at the scheduling of the Joe McDonagh promotion/regelation play-off scheduled for Saturday the 30th of June 2018.
While this particular fixture was agreed as part of the wider GAA Master Fixture Plan released late in 2017, we understand the players frustration at the short turnaround time for Kildare in particular, having just won the Christy Ring cup, before Sunday’s final and that it places too much strain on the players involved. Lessons must be learned from this for next year’s competition.
 
The GAA must now review the competitions in the context of an overall review of the new competitions structure at the end of the year.

Any sign of Hector?

Poor enough up the north coast here. V Windy and rainy

Rain will keep the dust down😜

Yip! Least the turf is home dry lol

Turf home already?

Every turf bank and mountain in Antrim is cleared up and all.. Great drying the year.

You may go for the second cut.... use it to offset a cold winter or bad drying year

5 hours of machine cutting is enough for any man to work!

5 hours. Are you blacksmith?

I like my stove well stocked and a back boiler in the house it always helps.
