Dinny Cahill had antrim competing at as high a level the players are capable of competing at.Was always a pity to see him go.

why would it b funny are you a Derry man. not funny if your a saffron, i think everyone knows if antrim go in to this match on full cry then its game over but if our lads are thinking we have won ten of these things in a row and we are still getting chinned when we go down south then it could be a different story. the result is not down to Derry all they can do is go out and die with there boots on and hope our players are still in a state of dejection. one thing is not funny are those prices

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Derry never really fear Antrim even when results would suggest we should  - no offence lads but the saffron jersey does not put the fear  of God in a Derry man.

Those 3 or 4 wins in 100 odd years are getting to your head 

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

We have 8 clubs - you have 4 divisions.   So we done well to win 3 or 4- my point was not that anyhow, it was more that no matter what the form book was were never feared of Antrim, thats just in our makeup, good stock we are

You're some boys.

Your biggest challenge is your county board and some of your attitudes to hurling in general.

Some hurlers have went through Derry and been wasted over the years and you've probably as good a feeder school as any in antrim which may explain the lack of fear.

And a lot more division besides!  Deep rooted envy by Cushendall and the likes has created even more division.  But sure Sambo, played his part well .

typical lazy analysis...if all else fails blame the county board. Or are you blaming the specialist hurling committee?

As for attitudes, yeah some people don't follow hurling in the same way hurling people wouldn't go near a football match. You'll find that in any county from Cork to Derry.

I'm no expert but my view is that Derry doesn't have enough top quality native hurling coaches. Those that are there are paid by the Ulster council and can't take teams. Christy O'Connor said exactly the same in the Irish News yesterday.

One of those Ulster Council employees is managing a club team in Derry as far as I know.

yep, he can't take county teams though or different clubs apart from his own as far as I know. Same as Tony Scullion with Ballinascreen footballers.

Shane McNaughton has slammed the "amateurish" goings-on in Antrim hurling.

The departure and return and re-departure of manager Jerry Wallace coupled with the decision to appoint an interim boss - Jim Nelson - made it a crazy summer for the Saffrons, culminating in last weekend's Gaelic Grounds massacre.

Ahead of Sunday's Ulster SHC final clash with Derry, Cushendall clubman McNaughton says the events are simply not good enough at senior intercounty level:

"Obviously everything that was going on in the background didn't help but we can't use that as an excuse," the ace marksman comments in The Irish News.

"For training, we didn't know what managers, let alone what players were going to be there leading up to the game. There are a lot of fellas who need to take a look at themselves, including most of the players.

"The things that were going on behind the scenes were ridiculous; it was childish.

"We didn't know what managers were turning up for training on Thursday nights. It was just a bit of a joke, the whole thing.

"It was the most amateurish thing you could get. When the rest of the GAA has such a professional set-up, ours was like an U14 team.

"Everyone was wondering what was going on. You get to the stage where you don't know whether to laugh or cry."

"The supporters who travelled down to the game is who I feel for, boys that paid £50 for diesel and paid in to watch it, then after ten minutes the match is over.
