I was 'reading' another GAA guestbook site where 'knowledgeable people' converse with one another etc, leave comments, opinions etc re Antrim hurling! It says a lot about their collective wisdom in relation to hurling that they didn't seem too familiar with names etc of Antrim U21 players or to which clubs the players belong!
Hurler on the ditch.

Yep, there are plenty of these pseudo-experts who enjoy pontificating and derive some type of fetish posting their opinions under juvenile pseudonyms.

Arseholes. Probably go to a couple of matches a year and think they are experts.

If there are no experts or people with knowledge on here feck off and don't read the site then.

One thing that has concerned me over the last few years is the disdain with which the Under 21 process is taken in this county.
In the powers down south its a natural stepping stone, minor, Under 21, senior.
You only have to look at some of the games down south over the last couple of years to see its competitive and players use it as a 'shop window' to impress to step up to senior.
Seemingly those who turned up this year (to the first session 4 days before the semi final) were all picked...I should have gone for a tight shave that day, heightened the pitch of the voice and rocked up.

Not good enough.

Exactly...complete bullshit but the sad reality is that it has always been a farce of a competition and has been treated as such by the powers. Doesn't seem to be anywhere in the calender for it to have a footing.

I hope liam joins us and can put us all staight on why we don't know shit about Antrim hurling. I did cringe though when some one who should know better didn't know what amalgmation Glenshesk was

Thank god GD can't do this one. According to Loughgeil lads, he appears to be getting a little familair with Dunloy from what I have heard?  Mostly likely OE, given that RM is retired and past it. But then, he may make one of those miraculous recoveries of his!

So in your opinion you reckon he's big enough to take verbal abuse from a tr**p supporter (your very first post on this board), but not big enough to referee fairly. Confusing. But I suppose the latter is not your opinion, it's "what you've heard"

Skull1- How did the match go last night, I hear it was pretty tight most of the way.

Not my first post at all!  And I suppose you being a Dunloy man, you dont have tr**p supporters at all?

[Milltown Row2]

There always seems to be some refs who come on here and berate other referees!!!

They should set up their own forum , as they have nothing really to add

Yes we do. Nothing to do with  my point though.
