Antrim Hurling

Reasonable enough comment, probably.  When I was reffing a bit, we had to put up with 60 minutes of non stop yapping & dog's abuse, but you weren't allowed to open your mouth back. Mind you, a well placed one liner usually kept them quiet, for a while.

I did a bit of reffing myself, used to love the one liners! Never anything really cheeky or severe just enough to let them know i could bite back.

We are blessed with good refs in the county in both football and hurling. Cunning is likely top of the pile along with Mark O'Neill. I watched a few games that McCotter from Sarsfields did, very good also.

Sure players know the rules inside out! They never make mistakes or foul but best of all the managers and keyboard warriors know it all

I'd a player give off to me the whole game, his team was getting stuffed and he questioned every call by me! Possibly 20 points in it but it was my fault! I said to him if he'd concentrate on marking his man put in an honest shift and defend  without fouling they would have only lost by 15!

Finton Mark Colum All goodins, County have plenty of dedicated lads, no shortage it seems of people willing to put something back into the county, rather than bad mouthing all the time on discussion boards

An opinion is like an asshole, everybody has one and no matter where you go you'll find them.   

Sure that is the beauty of the GAA, we all have our part to play, no matter how small both for club and county.

Don't beat yourself up too much, your opinions matter

That was a bit like you, in your pomp. You never kept quiet the whole time. Poacher turned gamekeeper!

Buffers had some auld boy that took them apart! in fairness he was a tasty hurler back in the day thon Tony.. it was one that Rossa could have won

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

that was a good Rossa team then, they prob should have won the All Ireland that year. When you looked at them on paper they were strong all over the pitch, all big physical men who were good hurlers.

Tony Doran wasnt it played poocher for Buffersalley

I think i mind him still playing in cushendall a few years later. I think they played them in a semi at home one year.

[edit] in fact that may have been a year previous.

[saffron89]

THInk Mark Barr was around the full back line for rossa
Apparently broke Tony's finger.
Can't remember him playing Cushendall ?  That s
Not to say it didn't happen
Remember Middletown of cork playing the dall
In a semi final up there.  John Fenton untouchable
