Jesus! Quite a leap.

There is no issue. Galls man is of the opinion that a player should not be able to transfer back to his original club if he still lives outside the county. It is not specific to James Loughrey's transfer, it is just his opinion. Albeit one that I disagree with.

I'd say fair played to him for going back to his club. It's not as if he's travelling back for the glory. What happens if a young fella moves to Dublin for work and ends up changing clubs, can he not move back to his home club at some stage down the line?

James would be 35 now, his status as an Antrim great assured a long time ago. St Brigid's had a great league campaign, their minor winning teams are maturing nicely into senior footballers, you've Paul Mc Comisky there (ex Down) and Conor McAleer (ex Fermanagh) as well as a highly rated manager.

All the ingredients for a proper tilt at the championship...the return of Loughrey could add the icing to the cake. That would have been the thinking.

Of course they are still well in with a chance of making the quarter finals. Still all to play for.

Loughrey travelling back to play for his home club should be admired and will be by true gaels. Community and club, it's what the GAA is all about.

A game obviously?

Yes plus bonuses, think 5k for a goal and 1k per point. 21k for Sunday's outing, not bad

What do you call the manager from Tipp and Tyrone taking Antrim senior football and hurling teams? They do love a drive.

Antrim could do with someone with a bit of drive.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I like James and got to admire the desire shown. On your other point I reckon 9 out of 12 division 1 teams have outsiders as such running their senior teams. Coupled along with our county senior football and hurling teams. Any reason why you named the two clubs you did? Maybe you should move with the times / Get off high horse, whichever suits.
