Ruairi Og 2013 Dunloy 0-7. Anyone actually want to discuss the biggest game of the weekend? Rather than the drivel about knights of dung?

yeah Jesus i was at the match. no arguing with the result.we changed our fullback line from loughgeil match and got opened up for the goals. apart from that we kept giving away silly frees for MC manus and Shane to pop over. need to get our discipline sorted. in possession by the time we got ball in the place was crowed with defenders. cushendall defence as good as ever I thought delargy was M O M. we wasted to much from play and placed balls. Cushendall looking Good

Don't know about the knights of Columbanus and the power they yield in Antrim but I have noticed that since we've got fulltime secretaries in place in each county board that the powers that be in Croke park control everything now. There is no real democracy within the GAA now, not that there was a lot in the first place.

Look how quick Duffy (the Croke park one) got the Armagh/Laois issue 'sorted'? Armagh were brought to heel very quickly, granted the overturning of the centre backs suspension sweetened the deal. There was no talking about the queens visit, all rosey in the garden.

That to me is a bit disturbing.

There related you know, both of them!

Did you not make it to any games yourself deary me and have no thoughts yourself?
Think st galls will rue the scoreable frees they missed. Sarsfields fancy themselves to get promoted or to be at least challenging at business end of the season so no real surprise

Is this a wind up?

3 point win against Whitehill and a victory against a distraught Gort - Promotion???

All for seeing them do well - but delusions of grandeur???

Biggest game of the weekend ended in a draw in milltown. Some strokes bordering on assault. When did the glens men become hard men?

They probably will - thats a must win for you HS!  I would begin to fear the worst if you lose that!
But its a derby , so they will be MAD up for it!

From what i hear, the ref nearly lost control, Glenariffe just the one sent off  
This was always going to be a fierce encounter given both would see each other as biggest rival for promotion.
My source tells me it was more lost by galls than won by Glen!
Maybe MR2 could shed some light - reckon he was prob at it

We missed a free at the end to win it

St Galls missed 3 or 4 easy frees which could have won it.

I would say the ref lost control of the game and the players on both sides seemed to think they could get away with some heavy hits.

He was poor but I don't think he "nearly lost control", its not as if there were running battles. Both teams were highly motivated and nobody was stepping back, but there was no bloodbath. Our boys would be happy enough with a draw after playing the last 10+ minutes with 14 men.

I also don't think it is going to be a procession for either us or St Galls, neither team is head and shoulders above anyone else and there isn't a big gap between us, St Galls, Rossa or Lamh Dhearg. Sarsfields have started well but they were two handy fixtures.

I'm not getting involved with this, we have Glenariffe at the end of June so it will provide a better picture of where we are at.

But I must say, in all my years of playing against Glenariffe, going back to 88 till only recently, when I managed 2 goals I've never seen Glenariffe play so robust. Very evident early on that there was to be no clean catches and to draw the ball and pick up the pieces. The problem with that is that sometimes they can be mis timed causing confrontations, that's what happened yesterday. Some off the ball stuff but happens in most games.

Glenariffe seemed more happy than us to take the point and are intent on going up this year. Our target is to have a good league campaign before Cushendall. They are motoring along rightly and its early doors. The Ulster league final at Casement this Saturday night should provide neutrals with how training is really going when the Dall play the All Ireland champions.

If Glenariffe play the same robust way on Wed night I'll expect a few yellow and red cards. Lamhs will pull like fook. Good luck refereeing that one
