Antrim Hurling

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Not one easy match ... could go either way

Intermediate championship again going to be the most entertaining and evenly contested cship this year. Great for the neutral. No obvious winners here.

Will the fact that some of these teams have been playing division 3/4 have an impact on them? As an outsider I don't understand all the negative chat about Belfast hurling being on the slide. Rossa, St Endas, St Galls, St Johns, Sarsfields all seem to be strong enough.

Glenariffe must be favourites?

Glenariffe must be favourites?

Based on results it's difficult as all the teams have dropped points in div two while the div 3 teams have won and have a wining momentum built up..

What the hell is happening in Ballycastle yet another manager pushed out? Ridiculous to see the club fall to these depths!

[old timers]

Iv learned very quickly on this board that most people on it don't know what they are talking about  it's just somewhere for people to vent.  It's usually  the ones who talk the greatest load of BS are  Empty vessels and we all know what empty vessels do. ..... make the most noise

yet you come on here and make bold assumptions about people on here not knowing what contributions they make to their clubs on a reg basis. there are a number of people on here who have done and continue to give up all of their time for their respective clubs and the reason they are on here chatting is due to their passion for the game and this county. If they are unhappy, so what, deal with it or just stay off the page. you'll not get annoyed.

Did I mention being annoyed?? Don't think so. But I expressed my opinion on the board. That's what the board is for.  It is not only for people to vent but that seems to be its main use. IMO.  The "chatting" only really comes about when it's complaining. IMO.  There's very little in the board by way of praise when things go well IMO

Horrible injury for young Christy McNaughton in the Cushendall v Ballycran league game. Wishing him all the best and hope for a speedy recovery. Big loss for the Dall as well with championship not far away

My Intermediate Predictions Larnegaa

Glen Rovers to beat St Endas in Prelim and to beat Lamb Dherg in first quarter.
Glenariffe to beat Carey
Sarsfields to beat St Galls
Tir Na Og to beat Rasharkin

Sarsfields to beat Glen Rovers and Glenariffe to beat Tir Na Og in the semis

Glenariffe to beat Sarsfields in the final

Probably not get 1 right lol

Heard this yesterday. Unbelievable and really silly to sh*t on two good clubmen at this stage of the year. That's how to drive people out of a club. Poisoned chalice that job.

Yet you criticise others for expressing their opinion. you see the irony here?

With regards to praise its only due when its merited. the county board have got it here when its been due but sadly that has been few and far between these days.

If you go to the football thread you will get very little praise for the county set up at all.

same heard this last night. you would have to seriously question your sanity if you were to take the job now after so many others have been forced out of the way. Its not nice to see a club go like that at senior level.

Ridiculous stuff in Ballycastle again. They've by far the biggest population to pick from in North Antrim and a specialist hurling college in the town as well. 31 years without a championship is criminal. Those who run their club must at some stage realise that several different senior management setups are not to blame. A mirror might provide the answer...

What's the story here lads?

I'd have thought the Celtic Challenge team would still be functional to fulfill the fixture or as there too many off on holidays?

I just read it there
Sheedy was very impressed with the Antrim Celtic challenge team so maybe something sprung from there
It's hard to determine if he is the manager or just helping out
I wouldn't have thought it was money oriented as he has a big job in Dublin
He would be better to help out with the u21 squads down to minor
Don't think the senior quality is there at the minute compared to when the likes of dinny Cahal first came

[shawshank]

just reading your u17 hurlers have forfeited the all Ireland semi final to Dublin, what is the craic with that madness?
