Antrim Hurling

[Trouble Ahead]

Minder, i hear the genariffe boys gave the Ref a hard time after the game, trying to get off the pitch. It sounds like they where a bit OTT!! to say the least. If the past is anything to go by, this guy does,nt take to kindly to this type of behaviour!

Nothing i havent seen a thousand times before, there was nothing physical. I think they were trying to find out how he saw fit to add 8 minutes of additional time. I suppose he wanted to be the star of the show and in that regard he was excellent.

Minder....thats a very libelous comment to make without actually explaining how you can make it. We all can get frustrated by refereeing performances especially in tight games where one or two poor decisions can swing the game, but referees like players make many mistakes in a game. It's only when these desisions bring about the losing  of the game that people attack the referee's integrity. Very unfair and won't do much to encourage the right people to officiate at games it if their character is likely to be questioned on a regular basis.

Dunloy beat the Ports handy enough in the end after a very poor start where they went 7 down I think. Have to give it to the down men though....they battle the whole way. Very entertaining game because of the intensity and honest of effort throughout from both teams. Incidentally, if it was a closer affair the Ports may have felt aggrieved with the referee (Owen Elliott) IMO having an impact on the game as there were a few desisions that went against them which I wouldn't have given myself. In saying that I have to say that I was impressed with Owen Elliott overall (probably helped by the fact that both side were only interested in hurling) as he let the game go a fair bit, with plenty of good strong tackles going in all over the pitch. If all clubs went out only interested in hurling then I think it would help referees and the game itself up here massively.

As i stated Skull i can accept "mistakes", my only gripe is the allocation of 8 minutes of additional time at the end of 30 minutes of hurling. There is no mechanism to air any grievance though as referees are not held accountable for their actions/performances.

Unbelievable performance from your hurlers at the weekend. Getting beat is one thing but to throw the towel in is another. WTF is that all about? Seen sambo on the Sunday game last night, he should have apoligised to the county for the teams performance.

Do I hate hurling?..no I don't...infact I love watching it....great game, but I love seeing my neighbours take tankings like that...with all that heart and soul....whats the colour of them jerseys gain....YELLOW

There was a bit of "handbags" between the two teams but that was resolved and the ball thrown in after about 3 minutes. It would have been a big win for us especially after playing the last 15 minutes with 14 men, from what i saw yesterday Cushendall have two byes to teh county final, they play Glenariffe then winners of St Johns v Rossa.

I'm sure you do love to watch it, but you'd hate to see it being played on your doorstep and would actively discourage it. You do realise you sound like the p***k you most likely are?

Max after your footballer's performance you don't really have much to crow about.

It's ok though - all you guys believe you have the players to win the all ireland so it must be true!

[theskull1]

someone sent off minder - who

from what i have seen off cushendall this year, they cant be classified as byes for any team.

they got beat by a poor ballygalget team yesterday i see.

Cushendall have still got plenty of time to get things in order. They will be there or there abouts
