Antrim Hurling

[ManInBlackandGreen]

Can I just say I tip my cloth cap to those in the CE and friends of casement in their introduction to the table allegedly the opportunity now to bring in the last remaining sport to insure casement parks survival or whatever name they agree? I for one would welcome Donegal Celtic to the stadium its membership with the FAI and look forward to watching Bohs, Derry City or Shamrocks (11 a side)! Maximise its potential and generate more revenue to insure dunsillys future. Well done lads........

[Jesusjones]

Are we still sore about the young lad banging in the goals that ended Loughgiel and Dunloy's championship aspirations last year?

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

eh no, we were crap last year. We didn't complain about getting beat.

One players goals didn't make us play as poorly an entire season.

Going through Refs on County Website to see which club a ref was from and seen this ref
Liam Mc Bribe Carey Faughs. maybe a bit immature but I thought by the name it was a wind up. Can anyone confirm if this Ref exists as I had never heard of him but found his name funny in the context of being a referee

It's Liam McBride

[Milltown Row2]

I think he knew that. Liam is a Carey man and is one of our more colourful referees. The man is an out and out true gael.

Takes all sorts!!

[Milltown Row2]

For the record, I know Liam and his family well and he is a good guy.

It's been very quiet regarding Belfast's old firm game on Sunday.  What was your assessment, MR2?

Was a good game to referee, plenty of hard hurling, some players over zealous but considering the teams I have seen a lot worse between them. Rossa elected to play against the wind first and were only 5 behind at half time, the breeze wasn't as strong in the second half and it was the Johnnies that tacked on a few early points to keep ahead... Rossa came back at them with a goal and bring it back to 2 points but the Johnnies tacked on a couple more points to win by 4... Must say Brian McFaul put over a point in the first half which was brilliant, could still be a threat against Cushendall

who from loughgiel mentioned anything about this balls use are talking about as two days.  I personally couldn't give two hoots,  it's 15 V 15.  Best team wins.  Get over it and yourself.

Yea, I heard he did a bit of damage from FF.  Although if they are having to rely on Brian for scores at his age, it could also be seen as a worrying sign for them.  Did the two Johnstons play?  That game v Cushendall will be interesting.

No it won't

[NAG1]

Ok. I'll rephrase it.  I hope the game v Cushendall will be interesting.

I think every hurling fan has been hoping for a while that St Johns would make a championship game interesting but has yet to materialise.

[btdtgtt]

I've said it before and I will say it again;
St Johns are the pick the city teams at the minute - but they could win 10 minors in a row and won't win anything at senior.

[Milltown Row2]

Johnnies possibly shy two good players for me.

Not a lot to pick from, but either way I don't see them going anywhere any time soon.  Still shy of a few decent players which will determine whether they can make an impact or not.  Despite some of their young players at under 21 and minor, they don't appear to be make any serious in roads at all.  Dare say North Antrim teams will have nothing to fear from city teams for the time being.

Very true I'm afraid.

I can tell you we are worried about The Johnnies...
