Aye Loughgiel should withdraw from the All- Ireland competition and get behind the county, would that solve any problems ?

stibhan........" all the big ones " does not include Antrim,we're more in the minnow level. So read away.

Stibhan......Loughgiel or not,I have watched Cork,Kerry and all the big ones. Not many players have changed county and been a success.Padden from Mayo to Armagh,Johnson from Cavan to Kildare are two examples.I'll admit Loughrey's a good player,but I'd say Cork have plenty of players just as good.

We'll see how good he is.Bet you he won't even make the Cork panel.Heard all these stories before about players  "who could grace any team in Ireland" but when they move they never are heard from again .

In days gone by the main game at the Feis was North Antrim v. South Antrim, would that be worth re-introducing?.

Johnnycool.....the very same Big Niall,,,ex-goalkeeper.

Sorry Johnnycool, Big Niall put me right this morning. I jumped the gun as usual.

Was Beaver Mc Carry not eligible for this hurling selection? Would have thought he most certainly was.
Was Kieran Mc Keever not a Derry player who played for Dungiven ? I thought he was.

Winker is a name that goes along Watson. Like Dusty Millar or Chalky White. No great mystery,I've heard of other men called Watson being called Winker.

manballandall...... We all know that Watson hasn't been the complete team player, you don't have to keep pushing the point. But he's not alone in that respect.As for the dreaded word paranoia,every poster on this panel shows signs of it,especially when you read some of the drivel posted here You want an apology,well sorry if I hurt your feelings you tender hearted poster you. In you're ignorance and the arrogant way you dismissed me as some sort of clown,I should be getting the apology,not that want one from you.
You ignored my suggestions re management set up just to get back at me in you're usual snide way,shooting from cover.Get a life!!

manand ball.............leading Watson basher. I think it's you that suffers from "Watson paranoia". You never seem to talk about anything else.Get a life!!

You can say what you like about the Shamrocks,at least they put Antrim's  name on the the map. Pity the county powers that be didn't follow their example and set up a management system something similar, selected from the different local clubs,instead of paying expenses to so called Southern whiz kid managers. We need to bring the clubs together and a local management panel could help.....maybe. I know it's been tried before,but with different personnel on board,I can see the advantages.

We have prima donnas in Antrim, big within their clubs, but average when compared to their Southern counterparts.Would one Antrim hurler get on the Kilkenny team or even on the subs bench.

McCloskey's young,and a very impressive hurler,no matter what YOU say Saffrongael.And he's modest too,not like some players mentioned  in this forum who's heads are a lot bigger that their talent.What have some of them ever achieved,mention them in Kilkenny or Cork and no one has ever heard of them.Age is catching up with a lot of our prima donnas,soon they be "hurlers on the ditch" like the rest of us,and no one wiil care.

Seems there's a distinct lack of enthusiasm for all things County, both from clubs and players alike.........wonder why ?
