Antrim Hurling

[NAG1]

OisinOg, don't know what team you were watching the last few games but we can't afford to lose 2 players for a county friendly. Wise up.

Where did I say we could afford it.

In fact I said we have no one to replace Shannon.

We just need to get on with it and not complain.
I am sick of people complaining about fixtures and not doing anything about it

Oisin are you stupid or something? People not doing anything about it? These fixtures were agreed at the start of the year by the clubs...these fixtures are being changed due to the senior county team going away for the weekend. Some clubs have asked to move them & they aren't allowed to.

I dont know what club you are from so I am going to generalise here.

You contact the Club you are playing ask for a refix because you are missing 6 players due to the county being away.

if thhe other club agrees you inform CCC of the chage due to this.

Two hands have you personaly done anything about it. Are you your club secetary?

The same argument happens every year.

I asked earlier how do you fix this without playing games in the winter?

just because I do not agree with you does not require you to personaly insult me.

Oisinog, is that what happened with yourselves and Dunloy last year

I take take a bit of blame there further information came to light after the incident and lets just say I was wrong NAG

Someone in our club didnt inform the manager of this weeks before. If the managment had recieved the request at the time dunloy asked we would have changed it.

This was a case of mis information and then someone covering their own ass

The clubs have agreed but the county won't let them move the matches. You seem to have difficulty understanding these fixtures were arranged before the county weekend away was arranged when Wallace said he had no problem with any of the dates.
I haven't done anything personally about it...do I need to?

There are plenty of weekends at the end of July/start of August for a match to be refixed.

You give an honest assessment of the Paddies v Loughgeil game and all you get is ridicule.  Well I was at the game, can you say the same?  It ended up as not the pick of the bunch as maninblackandgreen suggested it might be.  It was an utter disgrace.  You have all heard of the Shankill Butchers I'm sure, last nigh t was a clear case of the Paddies Butchers.  A real shame, cause some of them kids can hurl a bit.  It's such a pity their tactics were the Paddies of Old (batter the fuk-hirs - win at all costs)  Loughgeil lads just knuckled down and got on with it despite the dirty tactics, this lead to their superior ability to hurl well, hurl tough and sicken the Paddies.  Thank god their was no entrance fee to watch sheer  unadulterated trash being played by a group of young Belfast lads. 

This would have proved a game well beyond the control of most referees, give Duff his fair dues, he handled it well and I am not one for crediting Antrim hurling referees.  If I was the ref, I would have sent at least 3 other Paddies men off.  My young son even said after the game, "why did the green and black player hit the red player whilst he was lying on the ground, is that in the rules" -  there ya have it! and he only seven. 

Anyone else getting completely fed up with this trash?

And your posts are always so stimulating, what's wrong, you don't like facts and a detailed account of events. Get over yourself Nob.

A'noon, at the Galls / St Brendans games last night. A real decent physical encounter between both. Lack of numbers in the St Galls squad might have been the downfall (not sure if they had many more to choose from) but they give it everything. Didnt have it up front and only 2 subs. St Brendans worked hard for their goals but some of their points would grace any county ground, good stick work and seemed up for it. Versus the Johnnies should be a good game in the next round.

Its St Kevins JC, different make up of clubs than St Brendans

I don't think our U21 match is going ahead on Monday. Players were told that if we were to get past St Pauls last night then the game v Dunloy wouldn't be on Monday due to Dunloys Ice Dancing fundraiser being on Sunday. Not sure when it will be played yet

Saturday night 5.00 pm dont know the venue, i say because we requested the change it will be in the dall

[oisinog]

Two hands Why wont the county agree to it?

If you want to do something about it you make a suggestion to your club and they can bring it up a congress.

In August we have the championship so the same problem would come up again

El Plato happy to see the Referee did his job, not often they get credit but do you not think you are over cooking his performance, knowing the man he wouldn't thank you for this, Elliot, Hassan and Duffy all work hard at there game, and nothing beats there national experience when it is needed, Herbie shouldn't be to far behind when he gets up to speed in the year ahead also. I think in Hurling we are lucky that we have 4 good referee's and when you look at other counties we should try to appreciate what we do have a lot of the time forgetting parish and club rivalry. Football in the county is another matter, we are poor at present IMO. We still IMO cannot get to grips with good hard physical hurling " Southern Style" as a lot of our clubs look for the easy free.

How many Antrim referees have officiated at All Ireland level ( semi-final or final) football or hurling. I seem to remember one,
John Gough of St. Johns.

[johnneycool]

I think Tommy McIntyre refereed an AI minor final in his time.

Don't start me on Duffy.

So there was me thinking you were really Duffy refereeing the game last night at the Bear Pit.  You misled me with your earlier posting  I have to say.  So if your not Duffy, I would have a stab at suggesting you are either Ewwiott or that cnut Cnut(nn)ing from Dunloy.  Not praising Duffy at all nor, seeking praise. You referees are already full of self praise and you know what they say about that!  As I said, as a complete neutral, I was just giving my version of how things panned out at the game.  But other posters appear not to like that, but what the Fcuk, see if I care.

Ah for Christ sake lads, you have no idea starting this shit about AI, all 3 lads at present carry very high scores from what I know but are not in any way being given a chance to breakthrough to Div1, its who you know, and what province has the strongest relationships and as far as Ulster is concerned nobody gives a flying Fck about Hurling, we see that time and time again in the Championship and UHL! They effectively are being discriminated against and this is well enough known among the referee's, asked any of them the next game your at so to come on a Bullshit about J Gough, and Tommy Mc Intyre, that's when Ulster had a say at croke, those days are long gone, and our present representatives only want to look out for what they can get from croker and don't give a monkeys about Referee's why should they eh! JC you obviously have personal issues, so at least be realistic and leave your petty personal issues to the local, FFS give them all a break for a change, and give it a go yourself.

A good referee is when the players come off the pitch and don't mention the referee. Thats a simple assessment of his ability.

[Buswhacker]

Maninblackand green.....you're very bloody touchy, I asked a question without a hint of bullshit.Reading some you're posts I'd say you're suffering from a heavy chip on the shoulder.
