WTF are you on........'guardian of the county' now.....wasn't always so.
Benen is a young man just learning his trade.....the blame is not apportioned to anyone but a serious injury not in the care of his club a butter pill to swallow...

Your concern....??

So getting injured at club an easier pill to swallow, getting injured at county training is a 'butter' pill to swallow? Gotcha...

The bitterness is dripping off you. Seems to me that you are using a young lad's injury to have a go at the county set up.

It's not your concern, you won't be picking up the pieces or putting the effort in rehab

Ryan Convery also waiting on swelling going down before an X ray which he/we are fearful of. Ryan's our joint captain and played at 6 for UUJ seniors this year in the Sigerson. Would be a huge loss to PG1 if the news is as feared. Happened in last 2 mins against Cargin on Tuesday night.

CB is winding all you boys up and you're biting everytime.

Is ck a WUM......doesnt know anything but is more than negative in his comments on Cargin......

No WUM and no negative comments. Genuine questions. Negative comments are your department.

Can someone please enlighten me as to what a 'WUM' is? Possibly showing my age here

A merchant of the winding up variety

Hopefully the lad gets good news and isn't as bad as feared

Benen's injury could happen anywhere is right problem being we feel none of the three lads up with county squad should be there considering they haven't started one senior championship game for us yet but that's up to Andy it just seems like they suit his player profile type.

Why is the Antrim game in Armagh?

Tailteann group games are 1 home, 1 away, 1 neutral. Armagh a fair venue for both counties I think, though not a happy hunting ground for us this year - so far.

It's an interesting game - wouldn't be surprised if we won but on the other hand wouldn't be surprised if we got beat by a bit! I hope we have learned from the league and if we can get Kelm marked a bit better we have a very good chance. Also someone taller on Quigley would help.

Very sorry to hear of a serious injury, maybe some of the younger lads would be better to pull back and have another year at club to develop as you say. But they are there of their own free will, no?

I can't see us beating you by much, if we even do.  We are favourites with the bookies but really there is very little between the teams (as seen in that crazy league game) and I think your performances in the Tailteann so far have been more assured than ours.

Kelm will obviously need watching, though he has been quieter in last 2 games than most of league.  A good match up is important for him but, in all honesty, he'll beat most men 1 v 1 so it's as much about the collective defensive effort which is probably something both our sides lack at times!  With Quigley starting we've gone through him less, which in one sense helps spread the burden but I think he was also reveling as the main man.   Important to win for either side and get a weeks break plus a home quarter final (I presume.)

Agree. This is a very interesting game. Fermanagh are Antrims level despite their opening draw with Wexford and I think the winner should have genuine ambitions in going far in the competition. You pick out Fermanaghs 2 key men IMO. Kelm has pace to burn and Quigley is a match winner even from the bench. Hoping to get to the game, should be a tight one, good luck Antrim!
