He knows everything, or at least thinks he does, could start an argument in an empty house

The black box thing is a load of shite. Driving too slow is hazardous as well. Limiting young ones to 1.2 litre would make more sense.

The box is to keep within the speed limits, are you encouraging driving over the limits?

Talk me through that

the lad just likes to be controversial. Thinks it makes him look cool

what about division 2 and 3?

Starts 23rd/24th

who are favourites for promotion/relegation

o'Dees will win Div 3 fairly handy I think

Div 2 Lisburn for the drop and Sarsfields should win it

who stood out in the opening weekend

So who is it then?

And you're the one against naming oneself on here!! I would not be fit to ref a game and that is a fact and nothing I am ashamed off given my age, my name is irrelevant on that point

I maybe old and grumpy, not sure about git.

Simple question do you know who is reffing that game today? I don't get all the cloak and dagger stuff, however it seems to have gotten you very defensive

Honestly I don't know, I for one assumed if his name was down against the game he was down to do it, if not why would his name be down? A reasonable assumption I believe

I wasn't being snide I was merely pointing out I would be surprised for my observations. It seems you really are an angry twisted wee man

Do you honestly think that this person who you think it is, is actually doing this match?

 

Then you question his fitness and ability and think it's not being snide?

Wise up!

Go to the match and tell me later how he done

And you're an old grumpy git?

Let's just say, you're wrong on at least two fronts

I know and I know the reason why, it's not a big deal either. The appointments for senior games have always been a priority.

Why give off about someone's ability (he's done the course btw) and their fitness while not naming yourself is a bit fly in my book.

Snide remarks?? Which remark was snide?

Who said you were 'making stuff up'?

Angry little man, I hope you find the peace you need

I merely stated I did not think from what I have seen when he is walking across the pitch etc that he could not ref a Div 1 game but somehow I made a personal attack. I for one know that I am a similar age and not in great mobile health and I would not take it as an insult that I'm not fit enough to do a Div 1 game.

You are happy to be known when it suits you as I have seen you running to the mods before when named

As for a typo, my Christ that's some typo

I ask a civil question and you turn into the nasty little troll that you are, as I said before every now and then your mask slips

What are you talking about?? I asked a question and pointed out that (a) from my observations he does not appear that he would be reffing (nothing personal nor an attack) and b. I never seen him refer before.....

To appease you however, I will ask. Should Ballymena and Creggan be expecting Anthony to be reffing their game tomorrow or is it someone else?

Is Anthony McCague not the chap who stands by the side of the pitch during championship games with an earpiece in? I see he is down to ref Ballymena v Creggan, I didn't think by that man he would be fit for it and has he even reffed before?

Sniping behind the computer... you're some lad

Get your photo up so we can have a laugh

Go to the game tomorrow and let me know afterwards

Civil? You need to work out what's civil and what's sniping at someone's fitness and ability before having a go at me ya header..

Mask slip? I don't hide, you do. At least I've the fortitude to not hide, your are definitely lacking in that department.

Lets see if the person that organisines the appointments on the system has made a typo before running your mouth of

Named? Its the fundamental part of the board, if some dumb shit whats a ban because he can't help himself that's on him, only a complete fool does that, and for your knowledge I've never named myself here  

If you have a problem with someone pulling you up on your snide remarks I'm grand with that.

Making up stuff? Well that's on you unfit old man

[It's all about the work, and as Duine says, the level of apathy in some Antrim schools and clubs is appalling.]

Completely agree Duine, the problem is Antrim is not the hotbed for GAA we would all like to believe, a lot of parents do not give a dam and this feeds through to their kids............I hear my son giving off that parents use the underage training as a babysitting service and they cannot barely get a parent to help to set out/gather in cones as the drop the kid off, drive away and come back an hour later to collect. If the parents are showing they don't care about the kid training how will the kid?

The great thing about schools that take their GAA ethos really seriously is that the programme starts the first week in the gate at year eight.

A school that offers 8 hours a week across a mixture of training/matches/S&C/pilates/yoga/ diet and nutritional advice will produce a much better individual...than say a school that offers x2 hours a week across the same spectrum of activity.

It's basic maths.

Across 40 weeks and 7 years it's 2240 man hours versus 560 man hours.

Obviously not an exact science, but a blind man should see the difference a full on school can make to player development versus a school going through the motions.

Then do the same exercise across a progressive club versus a club taking short cuts.

It's all about the work, and as Duine says, the level of apathy in some Antrim schools and clubs is appalling.

I didn't say that.

The issue is the apathy in our communities. Gaelic football isn't a big deal in a lot of them. Kids don't really care and their parents don't value it and if that school programme was available to them they simply wouldn't go.
They struggle to buy into the couple of hours a week. They don't value it that highly.

When that is your only retort it's clear even you know you are spouting cr*p

You made out that a player has the freedom to waltz out on a sunday and return whenever he feels like it without giving consideration to his wife or family, that for me was a view from the dark ages.

My own son's wife is trying to work her shifts round when my son has games but guess what they can't as they do not know when they are

Don't come trying to be smart, your issue is you let the mask slip as to your identity not you spend the time on here defending the county board and ref's click so you still get the games. And don't give me Totes doesn't read this as there is a lot of your colleagues posting on here

Well considering I do 80% of the cooking I'm not sure how that is relevant to club fixtures and when they are starting..

Someone asked and I said the 10th March, and hurling starts Easter weekend but then started talking about his wife and booking weekends away and holidays ffs!

Who do you actually thinks slows down the fixtures coming out?

The topic pops up every year and your club sec's have all this information but to waffle on about booking weekends and holidays with the wife is getting tiresome!

Would ye whist. You have seriously went off on one, hunting for food, womens place in the kitchen

MR2 woman are allowed a wife too and men help out with children etc, This bit I'm not sure about though

It's clique not click
