Antrim Hurling

[Minder]

I hear things were hot and heavy at the St Johns v Portaferry match, full scale riot and spectators involved. Its funny how these sort of incidents follow St Johns about........I hear it was dirty enough the whole way through then everyone dropped the sticks for a punch up, everyone except Mc Fall who stood back and drew off his mans head with his stick. It takes a big man to do that though........

Assuming that this is true and he actually swung the stick deliberately with force across a mans head
Well, when it's a family tradition, you have to keep it going I suppose. History repeating itself. The lowest of the low

I heard on good authority that the fella he hit was wearing helmet/faceguard but his stick broke the faceguard and left him with a nice split on his head. The johhnies didnt even go back to the changing rooms, they just jumped into their cars and headed home.

Im too young to that HS what happened?

I mind few years ago karl mckegan drew round a boys head in loughgiel, cant mind who they were playing. I think county championship time and he was straight red and banned for 3 weeks, system is a joke if you are on or near the county panel or Better still if you know big eugene.

If his name was noted for pulling the stick on someone's head, how long will he get? They'd have to throw the book at him. Heat of the moment and all, but how could you lash someone over the head with a hurl? Remember the Sambo incident? Fcuk me, that was scary. The silence was unbelievable.

That was about as bad/cowardly a stroke as i have seen on a hurling field.

Why were you not at the Dunloy match Groundlie?

Certainly to do with yesterday! I'm not going to acclaim a thug after that!!

Youngfella...Karl didnt draw round a fella's head in Loughgiel. He hit James McKeague but it was certainly alot lower than the head. He deserved to get sent off & I think he served around 6 weeks in the end reduced in the end through the appeal(could be wrong). But I actually think the system has improved since then.

Can any of or contributors give anymore detail regarding the Johnnies and their problems understanding dates of birth. This seems to be a problem with the Feile  competition and managers not being able to recognise if someone is 15 or 14

For feck's sake, if they're not fighting, they're fielding over age players. What next??
