Antrim Hurling

[Seamroga in exile]

Neilly and James weren't selected previously. Johnny and Joey went up to the training a couple of times and were less than impressed with a certain individual within the then set up. That's no longer an issue. Marty couldn't commit previously, he can now. 

[Saffrongael]

If these Loughgiel lads come on board now you'd have to ask why they didn't commit before now? If they are coming out of loyalty to Jim Nelson they might as well stay at home, you either want to hurl for the county or you don't.

Excellent point.

On the topic of county call ups for the Loughgiel lads, we should be happy to have our strongest players available, this is not normally the case. However after this season, and like most other seasons, these players who are huge rivals at club level will simply not hurl collectively together. It's a shame really because until that happens we will never know our true ability. Seems to have been an interesting weekend on the club scene, St Johns really beginning to struggle in Div 1, need to start combining decent performances with points. In Div 2 Glenariffe continuing to win hand enough, Rossa really beginning to pick up points and grinding out results, four wins in a row. Can see that one being a two horse race and the title being decided on their head to heads. Sarsfields still hanging in there also, hopefully St Galls stick together and pick up a few wins immediately.

Apparently 5 more loughgiel players are being called up to the Antrim panel. Scully, Joey, Neill, Johnny and James Campbell.

Neil MC Garry the only player on this list that can cut it at this level, watched him in the feis cup v cushendall and was impressed how good he is going compared to two years ago. maybe johnny to if age and injury hasn't effected his pace. joey and martin have had stints in the pass and haven't impressed. why are they putting there names forward now, typical antrim stuff I'm only going to play on my own conditions including management,selectors etc. the best club hurler Ive seen during the league that's not in the antrim panel is Sean delargy. hes playing really well but i don't how he would go against a limerick forward at county level

[Last Man]

Jim should be careful here, I have a fuzzy memory of S Elliotts stint in the job when Dunloy were flying, he pulled in a few extra Dunloy men but we didn't get the bounce we expected if i'm not mistaken.

Who is the source of this about new players from Loughgiel? Any more from any other clubs? Lets bare in mind we got beaten by westmeath, surely a few additions to the squad even if they are not all starters will be a positive move. I mean to say that Neilly McGarry is the only one you think would be worth putting forward out of an all ireland winning team is insane! I mean those other fellas have hurled at the highest level with their club and suceeded, how could you justify saying that any of those Loughgiel lads dont deserve a shot as much as some of the hurlers who are currently on the panel and have never experienced anything near that level. New manager, new panel, clean slate!

 I would think there'd be a few others from other clubs, 5 or 6 perhaps. I'd fancy all the loughgiel lads to start.

Don't say I didn't tell you. 

[Milltown Row2]

One Dunloy man??

Surely da fook they have better players on their team that are on that panel??

[riddle_me_this]

OK thats better, now the fun starts..pick your team from that..

[NAG1]

That panel looks about fair to me, funny though playing a trial game in June to pick a county panel. You seriously couldnt write it.

[riddle_me_this]

I would have thought Kevin Molloy, James McKeague and Paddy Doc would have been worth a look..?

[Milltown Row2]

That panel looks about fair to me, funny though playing a trial game in June to pick a county panel. You seriously couldnt write it.

I'm playing midfield tonight for the Z'ds, so I hope Jim and the boys will be looking for more players 

[NAG1]

I just feel sorry for the 5 LG men left behind, could they not go up and puck the balls back out or something
