If only we had a private jet to or spilt a person in two or we had help from people to cover games in different counties at the same time!!

Cavans PRO covering a game at 1pm in Dunsilly then Breffini park at 6pm for the senior game that's serious commitment

So not at the same time? Ok very good useful advice information

Yeah if you cant be arsed about our minor lads dont try and flunk tickets about their games when you cant be bothered to cover the game yourself but are spaming links where to get tickets constantly

So what I can gather, if you tweet like a 13 year old girl you're not capable!?

So get the big bucks but say 13 year old girls are useless

Don't think that he's not capable, but you can see where his priorities lie. Our minor lads were playing earlier on and no mention of a score, a team sheet or nothing. I get he was in Corrigan and that's fair enough, but what was stopping him from informing followers of the game by at least retweeting from other accounts? Hugely frustrating for our young minors who are representing this county at this level and to get zero recognition from our PRO is concerning.

I've no idea who the PRO is or anything about him but I highly doubt while covering a Leinster Championship Hurling match he'd have much time to be scrolling Twitter for updates of another match.

Half the time when you're updating Twitter with match updates the next poc out has happened quickly and you miss a load of the match as it is without scrolling for another match.

[Would ye whist]

I can see both sides of the argument here and I get it the PRO was in Corrigan, however you would think he could have made arrangements with say Safrron Gael, a mate or club mate who was going to the minor game and let them update the scores on the County Twitter account, we aren't looking Sky Sports coverage however a team sheet, the score and at a push a scorer is the minimum that can be expected in this day and age

Were you at Dunsilly? If you have Twitter you could have 'twitted' not sure of wording there.

Could let's say someone who regularly posts, reports or is a regular 'reporter' for SG,  hmmmm I don't know CB , who said he was at Dunsilly not do that ?

We'll dont retweet things on twitter all week about buying tickets to the minor game then.

I had a very brief stint with a Camogie County account and I had to be approved at one of the meetings by the clubs before I was allowed access to the account so there could be a similar reason.

So you can gurn about them completely ignoring the match? Or if someone's granny or granda turns up and didn't know you needed tickets you could gurn about that?

Minor game started at 1pm in Dunsilly, 30+ mins to half time, surely a retweet from other accounts such as Ulster GAA or Cavan who were at it would have been acceptable. Senior hurlers threw in at 2pm, 35+ mins later and it's half time, surely there was sufficient enough time to retweet a FT score from minors?

[Would ye whist]

Do or would people seek out either my or CB's Twitter to find updates on the county teams? I doubt it why would they or would they go to the Official Antrim account as it is referred to in the bio of the Twitter account.
I think you seem a decent enough chap MR2 (doubtless you don't care what I think of you) however sometimes you can refrain from raising a non starter of a defence/rebuttal on behalf of the county board

No defence from me, I just don't see how you can split a man who volunteers to do a Pro job for the county and be expected to be in two places at once or have two glipes who called him on regular occasions a 'wee rat' to help the county board out...

I don't defend the county board either, you have to remember this, I've said it regularly also, as a player or manager over the years I've called them out on numerous occasions here and at county level.

Antrim have had 2 ulster minor matches and the county havent been to either and done no coverage what so ever, its clear they couldnt care less about the young lads who are travelling up and down the county weekly and devouting their lives to that cause, so maybe dont constantly ask people to fork out for tickets when you yourself havent any interest in the product.

[Milltown Row2]

In all your posts are you positive about anything? Is your life so grey or black that you moan constantly about the price of butter?

I don't know your age but chill the fuvk out lad. You're one miserable Cnut

If the Antrim PRO isn't sharing information about upcoming matches, what would their job role be?
