Antrim Hurling

[Tony Baloney]

I'm sure the Antrim stats man will be able to confirm the correct score ?

If the ref recorded a score wrong and gave  an Antrim point for Meath it wasn't a draw, Antrim would have won by a point.

We lost whatever way you look at it.

The players weren't good enough to beat Meath

The management wasn't good enough to beat Meath.

Genuinely think the management wouldn't have been out of place playing 

No blame attached to this management for the result at all.

Look further back if you want to attach blame

ryan? 

After him but before the current management, whoever that was.

Purely talking about this season and the shambles it has been from start to finish.

Yes the players need to take responsibility on the pitch but when the leadership is as bad as it was then it poisons the whole set up.

Anyway draw a line under this season and move on.

[Megaman]

how can you not lay some blame on the managment?

Team selection and in particular the Subs where shocking decisions.

[hurlingstick]

Why did Ryan McCambridge not play? Given how bad a couple of defenders were. Surely Nigel Elliott was worth a run out. If Ryan McCambridge was fully fit I'd like to know why arguably the best defender in the county was sitting on the bench.

[north aontroim gael]

I was wondering that myself, surely must of been carrying an injury?

We obviously took the foot of the pedal when it looked like we had them beat. Far too many basic errors.  The subs also weakened the team, I thought it looked like management thought we were home and dry and were giving boys a run more so than trying to improve our lot.

Nothing to be gained from a replay, promote both teams and move on I say if that's the reward for the winners.  However based on Saturdays display neither team will make much of an impact in Leinster. Imagine if we scraped through the round robin and had to play KK, Galway or Dublin?  They would blow holes in us, it would be embarrassing.

Gutted to have missed Thurles yesterday - not the classic we had hoped for bit I think Waterford showed some serious maturity as a team. Clare were never allowed to get any momentum and were stifled at every opportunity. Moran and Gleason seemed to have the match under their total control. I really think a Munster win will keep Waterford on a high to break the big barrier at Croke Park. The team seem maturing and ready to do it when it matters. I think if they can mentally get over the line versus Kilkenny they are the main contenders.

Are there any Div 1 or 2 games in Belfast midweek?
Hopefully see Club games.

Clare's shooting was horrendous though.

Just to confirm Ryan wasn't injured on Sat he's playing u21 Championship tonight for us, he's just not good enough for County Hurling according to the management!!😠

That's ridiculous. We can't afford to leave a player like him on the bench.

My sources from cushendall tell me he is not playing well at the min.

I watched their last two senior league games. Nothing wrong with how he played.]

[Seamroga in exile]

He played rightly against us last week.

He did indeed. Until he got hurt.
