Antrim Hurling

[paddyjohn]

Glad to see it sorted out now. Best of luck to him and i hope hes given time to get down to work and get on with the job.

I dont expect to see any massive shock improvements in a year, in fact i would be of the opinion that it could take a few years.

County development squads, minor team etc all are now more important that ever. The future of antrim hurling lies in there and we have got to keep our focus on them and getting them into the adult set up as better players.

Your never far off the mark DR.

Glad PJ has got the nod and good luck to him - I much prefer a domestic appointment.

On a personal note I just hope he allows our club scene to hurl freely with no hinderence - after all hurling at the lower level we don't need to do the annual counter-productive exercise of wrapping 30 lads in cotton wool and inhibiting the hurling of club players.

PJ was the obvious appointment in my book - let's hope we start taking simple obvious methods to boot. Hurl hurl and keep hurling - improve everyone and the whole scene that's what will lift our level at county.

Also glad of PJ's appointment, glad into didnt end in a total farce.

As for club hurling scene i dont expect he will stand in the way of it too much after all he has said the past few years  (no different than anyone else btw)

i think its a good time to come in, under no real pressure, as the old saying/chant goes, "were sh*t and we know we are", although saying that promotion from Div 2 and Christy Ring winners would be expected.

Good luck to him.

Will w**ker be back with him?

[NAG1]

Think this one is going to run on to the first game 

[Seamroga in exile]

Will w**ker be back with him?

I'd think there'll be trials and a squad selected from that.

Best way to have it.

Hopefully we see a good turn out from all the clubs, esp from the younger lads.

And that might very well happen again with our crowd again.  ill not even comment on Jingo though 

[WhipHerOnJohn]

Has Pj's backroom team been confirmed?

[Sleeping giant]

Yeah. It's been named as 3/4 weeks.

[Jesusjones]

I wouldn't have thought that PJ would need trails. Surely the benefit of a home grown manager is that he would know the club players and already have a fair idea who he would want on a panel? I hope players from all clubs turn out and buy in. We've some sensational players, some young exciting talent and with a bit of cohesion results could improve fairly quickly.

out of everyone JJ.  I was waiting to here your input.  I'd say he has an idea of everyone he'd like evolved yes.  But the trials is maybe more for the lad that wouldn't spring to mind to maybe impress and get a chance to prove his worth.  I agree there is a lot of talent there if he can get them to buy in and get the best from them.  I've confidence in him to do so.
