Antrim Hurling

I get where you're coming from to a degree itg, but every now and then it's good to get a concensus on "posters like this"

Well if this one goes to the same pattern he'll be having digs at MR2 some time soon...

well lads on the game i think for the neutral it was a cracker. the two best teams in antrim going at it hell for leather. a very tense atmosphere in the stand as both sets of supporters were very muted as neither team could put daylight on the scoreboard. listen im absolutely gutted to lose as the team hurled brilliantly. gave a performance i think very few thought they had in them. very proud of our lads. but to the victor, the spoils & the shammrocks can be proud of the reply of their team in the last 10mins. the truth for me on the penalty is that it could as easily have not been given but i want to stress that im not saying it wasnt a penalty. owen elliott took a long time to blow & that tells me that he was convinced he saw a foul, & that he walked in to see if it was inside the square, which it was. a big big call but he made the call & good luck to him.i for one think if he did get it wrong it was not intentional. he had a very solid game throughout. i think its unfair to say the 'dall lost it. for me loughguile won it. maybe they got a good break with the penalty but they then ruthlessly took everything possible from that good break & for me that is what any good team would do. if we had turned a 4pt deficit into a 3pt win in 10 mins i would be talking about our teams great character & i think thats the what we should do for the shammrocks. losing hurts like hell but loughguile wrote the book on hard luck stories over the last few years so no sympathy expected here.we'll be back next year no doubt but for now well done loughguile & all the best for ulster & all ireland.

Very magnanimous of you auld stock. A bit of common sense in this thread for a change.

Yes Aulstock, well said.

[Sleeping giant]

Fair play.

New to the board lads, exciting final it was but in all fairness imo I believe Cushendal threw it away,a draw would have been a fair result and if the shamrocks don't lift the level they may struggle against Lynch's who I think Will comfortably come out of Derry. Ballycran well who knows what a bit of belief does should make for an entertaining couple of games? Still a wins a win and like all good teams when your performance wasn't the best and still  grind out a result should be congratulated.

Looking at the remaining teams from Antrim, Lamhs will struggle especially if Carrickmore get some momentum, so I'll go with Greggan in the junior for what could be an exciting journey if lucks with them, and on to croker, think they have a great chance.

Was a good battle and looked good on TG4 last nite with both teams goin hell for leather and a cracking atmosphere.

Only downside was an unfortunate often noticable Antrim Hurling trait  that is poor striking and also handling and stupid unforced errors. But a great battle for the rest of the country to watch

Does anyone know when the Derry final is to be played?

Saturday in derry city. Lynchs missing herron and mckeever from last years team, and Craig who broke his colarbone after returning from Oz. Lavey have a few lads who haven't lined out this year because of football.

Any odds anywhere?

Never seen odds on the hurling final before

I might venture up to Derry a scoot on Saturday.

A shining example of the stereotpypical loon supporter who not happy basking in the glory of others acheivements (i.e those on the pitch who actually won the bloody thing) tries to derive more pleasure by trying to provoke negativity from others in the hope he'll get the right reaction so that he can goad further thereby making the victory even more sweeter for him somehow.

Would you agree?

Exactly Skull. Thats exactly what this fuckpot (and some like him) are trying to do. Seeking notoriety

Tut, tut, tut, tut, TUT!  I would watch my language if I was you!  No call for that at all.
