Antrim Hurling

[Arthur_Friend]

Good win for Glenariff yesterday. 4-17 to 3-19, lead the whole match but nearly threw it away. Portaferry came back from seven (i think) behind at half time to even things with about one minute of injury time left.

Interestingly about 1-15 of Portaferrys scores came from frees. Glenariffs backs need to sharpen up a bit as they were second to the ball on most occasions, resulting in the frees.

Glenariff keeper had an unfortunate incident also where a soft shot was pucked in from midfield and bounced over his head into the net with nobody near him, but apart from that was pretty solid.

Is the big massive lad still keeping goal of glenariff? hes some shot stopper

[Glensman]

Pretty poor form from Jody. Doesn't bode well for him having any form of consideration for the county he is training.

Would have been wiser to train at Jordanstown at 10/11 am, let anyone playing hurling that afternoon take it easy in the session.

These are committed footballers who would not want to be missing their biggest date of the year with the county (next Sunday) but shouldn't be deprived of playing for their club.

Mourinho for Antrim next year?

We managed to get our first points on the board yesterday with a 4-16 to 0-11 win against Ballycastle.

A scrappy enough affair throughout with us still struggling to out manoeuvre a forward playing deep in front of his own fullback line. The amount of ball hit to the fella was unbelievable.

The town are as poor as I've seen them with Quashie and Pinkie missing, they rely heavily on Ronan Donnelly to win ball in the forwards.

We're not much better though, but we'll need to pick up more points soon.

St Johns 1.11 Dunloy 0.16

Dunloy struggled past a determined and pacy St Johns team, i predicted last year that the johnnies would casue an upset in the championship and they let me down, this year i think they will give Cushendall a real match.  They just need another couple of real class forwards to take a bit of the scoring burden of McFall who was well marshalled by big parrot yesterday.

Great to see Conor Cunning back in his form of old, winning ball in the half forwards and setting up scores, could be huge asset to Dunloy thi year

[clootfromthe21]

yes the scoreline was 3.15 to 1.12

i was not at game but they only pulled away with 10 minutes to go.

Jody pulled a flanker and had the Senior footballers training at Jordanstown. does not want his lads playing hurling. we've andy mclean. aidso Gallagher, CJ. Sean Burke at county training. i hope CAVAN STUFF THEM

Jody should just catch a grip and cop on to where he is now. Whatever happens in tyrone there's a game to be played in Antrim. f++k the other shite.

[theskull1]

More fool them for going to the poly instead of playing a match for their club

No need for that shite from Gormley. He can piss away off if thats the way he treats dual players.

[clootfromthe21]

They're St.Gall's players. Jody's rule for St.Gall's players appears to be "miss training once and you're gone".

Now, if you're from Randalstown..........

aye and yer man was right to tell him where to get off . .. .

[theskull1]

And seeing as Jody wouldn't understand allegiance to club then should we expect anything better from him or any like him. Dinny was as bad

[milltown row]

those lads know where i stand, hardstation.

so the question is, are those four lads allowed to play on wed night for their club? or will the county re set a date for our game on wed night? i doubt they will see the need to do any, after all the Tommy Murphy Cup is looming and all the lads can't wait for the action to heat up

Why would a county manager give a f**k for club hurling or football for that matter? They are judged solely on results and as far as they're concerned the only show in town is their show and it's usually a short term show.

IMO it's the county boards who need to sit down with both parties and strike a balance but as usual the players are the ones caught in limbo.

[Guillem2]

Have to agree with Johnnycool -Jody dosen't give a flying f**k about hurling or Antrim clubs.

Fixtures for this week. Rasharkin are going well an our lads will be doing v well to get anything from that fixture.

Are you taking the p1ss Guillem?

Rossa do well to get anything from Rasharkin?? If you are being serious I'd worry.

[Guillem2]

Are you taking the p1ss Guillem?

Unfortunately I'm not! We're in a bad way at the minute and Rasharkin are on the up. It's never easy travelling up north in mid week for a 7.00 throw in. Hopefully I'm wrong but I am worried.

[milltown row]

come on Guillem, you'd beat them with your south antrim team, Jim close, Carbine, dolly, couple of good minors and big rogie back in fullback and collins up front, we played ya's last night. good game
