Anybody know why the Antrim refs minder should be stationed on the pitch all miked
up in an 'Ulster' club championship game......?

Can I ask how it affects you? Or is it just nosiness?

Just being nosey.....no Antrim ref available..?

Not all ref's have communication systems, now if you'd prefer the ref's to not have that then brill, if you'd prefer not to have a fourth official with a board informing the supporters on subs and minutes left then fine..

If you think these things just turn up on their own then I can't help you. At every inter county game or Ulster club senior  there is another 'official' who organises things, with your years of following teams I'd have assumed you'd know that bit at least.

I've done fourth official up in Owenbeg before and there was a lad who did all that

If you are a bit bitter about things then I can understand that too

Key word in your lengthy reply is 'Ref'....thus the query....

Here we go again...

So much for the truce

Cargin Creggan ports moneyglass and South west flying and south belfast flying
Should Gaelfast concentrate on west belfast? What do you all think?

[Belfast GAA man]

Well down cargin and st brigids

For once we could have the situation where a lot of rival SW clubs secretly want a Cargin win over Glen.  To have that smug feeling over their former Maghera and Magherafelt Alumni after years of looking down their noses should not be underestimated.

I would like to think Antrim Gaels from all clubs will be supporting Cargin in Ulster regardless of the opposition, but agree the opportunity to take our nearest neighbours down a peg or two makes it that wee bit easier to get behind the Toome men.

Glen are a bit of a well oiled machine,  multiple St Paul's minor and Creggan under 21 Ulster titles before they appointed Malachy O Rourke and his entire proven backroom team to lead them to a first John Mc Laughlin Cup before retaining it with ease in year two.

Cargin deservedly won another Antrim club championship, showing great resilience to come out on top after extra time in the semi final and final itself. Should they deliver a competitive performance against Glen it will be a massive filip to the teams in Antrim who gave Cargin a great run for their money and be a great incentive for the following pack to do what they can to find the extra % needed to close the gap.

Really looking forward to this one and expect Cargin to beat the handicap odds of even money plus an 8 point start.

You'd think that but as I said here last year there was a lad from Cargin going bananas in Corrigan when the Lurgan side scored the goal.. And the same folk on here were saying that was normal, I don't see it as being any different now, whereas us Belfast ones were cheering on Cargin and Creggan

I'm sure they are glad you turned up!!

Liatroim  lost a man early doors but never looked like losing the game

Hard luck Gaels

[Lár na páirce 1]

Hard luck to Clooney usually come up trumps at this level. hopefully the Cargin Glen game lives up to the local derby it's being billed as, I personally feel nothing to separate the two sides it's a 50/50 game imo and it'll come down to who gets the lucky breaks on the day but def nothing to separate the two sides from South Derry,.
