Antrim Hurling

[paddyjohn]

On a different sour note, one of our Minors got a bad face representing the County u17/minor squad against St Mary's CBS the lads where giving St Mary's a helping hand for their forthcoming All Ireland Campaign when a St Paul's/Rossa lad pulled the helmet of him and struck him 3 times , and nothing done about it because (a) it's a friendly or ( b) it's the Assistant County Treasurers Son who Again was involved!! Not good enough, why would young lads turn out for the County to be assaulted without retribution?

Sweep sweep... its the way forward.

And we wonder why people look to the courts for justice.

A case of Triggers broom eh? All the different heads & shafts. It still same result. Let's not be negative, surely the county board will look at it and conduct a full and frank investigation.

The previous poster has says something has happened, I'm responding to that by suggesting our county board will respond accordingly.

Why what's it to you?

Was he at it?? There was a horrible dust up for 30 seconds.. lads involved got took off didn't play rest of game... incident report taken... both sets of managers appalled by it.. players agreed to carry on and play second half... wasn't a dirty stroke leading up to it or after it... 17 year olds, from my experience at this level are pumped up a bit too much, but I heard about a challenge game last weekend in football that also had a dust up... you must have missed that one

A couple of St Pauls players on sanction to Rossa were complete bollock's against us in the minor league decider at the end of last season and got the line for their antics. One of those guys I'd assume.

A strong school would be trying to put a bit of discipline into someone who is developing in this way ...rather than be tempted to ignore such sc**bag behaviour for the good of the school. Best of luck to him when he tries that at senior.

Sharing morning coffee with a Rossa man who tells me "we're looking at not using sanctioned players anymore".

I understand the reasoning but again my worry is do such players stop playing altogether?

If thats the antics they are at and bringing the club a bad name, are they that big a loss?

These things start to fizzle out once they are senior and meet a man, who basically will put manners on them, within the game rules that is!! I've refereed some games where I've actually  heard myself say, you deserved that for being a bollox, when there has be a bit of, retribution lets say...

Young bucks tend to mature very quickly when the other senior players don't rally in behind him and he's on his own

Nice to here a ref with a perspective on poetic justice
The amount of times the wrong man got it angers me
I know this isn't a soccer thread but that Man U forward did the right thing on Saturday
I hate Man U but that was pay back at its best
