Antrim Hurling

[Seamroga in exile]

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

A couple of them are on the county u21 team.

Brendan was a cracking hurler when he played for Antrim on the half back line, not to the same standard now. Mainly due to playing football for Antrim for a period I think

[manballandall]

Brendan never touched ball against us. Not the player he was.

Aidan Gallagher deserves a shout although probably couldnt commit with the footballers

Karl wont feature this year for club or county

Have Ballycastle not got a few who deserve a shout considering their good performances recently ?

[north_antrim_hound]

One Dunloy man??

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

yeah they have but they are not intrested unfortunatley. i.e kevy molloy and shane dowds buts thats about it

[north_antrim_hound]

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

I would have thought young clarke, maybe he has been approached and declined

Well that was a bollox of a night, went over in the rain to play a South Antrim cup match, rain was pretty consistant but not heavy, then eventually stopped and the sun started to show. The referee arrives in his trainers and (in an awaiting taxi!!) and declared that the pitch was unplayable!!, a bit of water on one patch, very slight in fairness and he bounced off the pitch and into the taxi that he told to wait as he was going to call match off!!!

If ever there was a case of someone wanting to watch a soccer match then this was it!!!! Hope Ireland get stuffed

[btdtgtt]

That's shocking mr2!
Shameful over a meaningless soccer match.

Are u deliberately not naming the ref or his club? Fair enough.

Look whether he was looking away to watch match or not I can't say for sure, but his taxi was sitting waiting on him was hilarious. Walked on to pitch in trainers hadn't even boots ffs!!

I'm not naming but its a very successful bar, I mean lower falls club

I've hurled in worst conditions this year nevermind in my lifetime!!!

[Seamroga in exile]

 Now now mr2, no criticising referees on the board. You'll have mibag on Yer case.

Does anyone actually know what happened in Ballycastle?

[NAG1]

From what I have been told, one of the Ballycastle players was yellow carded - took exception this and continued verbally insulting the Ref, his brother then joined in and it ended up with both being Red carded. MMcS got involved at this point and one of the previously mentioned players had to be restrained from trying to get at the Ref.

The game was Abandoned with 58 mins played 

[btdtgtt]

I imagine the Ref in question took alot of pleasure in abandoning the game and being the centre of attention - or is that all Refs?

On the other hand, given the Ray Matthews affair maybe the Refs are right to be zero tolerance once physically threatened.

What is for sure? It will be very interesting to see how the authorities handle the fallout!
