Yes red card in my opinion. what was he thinking!!! bloody eejit may have cost his club the All Ireland

the supporters will want to blame the referee but 20 sec in is the same as 40 minutes in. only person the supporters should blame is that player.

don't think the fist pas rule is the problem. he'll call it for both. though i don't think its for club games yet

well think he did get a slap, their manager won't help their cause by berating him off the pitch. I'm a referee also and should some arse come on and abuse me.... well I'm only human

the Clare team aren't great, industrious but lack quality, but may they just nick it if they tag on a fews scores.

winners coming from other semi? think the referee is being very harsh on Portlaois

Match is on!

still on? might head over

[They will be closed shortly after 2.30pm.]

Does anyone know what this is about?


Will the gates be closed after the 2.30pm throw-in on Sunday?

They will be closed shortly after 2.30pm.

I saw that, couldn't quite understand it.

is this relating to Casement tomorrow? 

must be the regulars in the bar worried about not getting a pint

spent twenty mins trying to find radio station to listen to it!!

hope weather not too bad in dublin tomorrow for our game

waiting on Villa tomorrow, probably lose or draw (with my luck )

Astonishing revelation today in the Gaelic Life - Milltown claims he lost them the final by giving his side the wrong tape to review. Fair play to him though - takes a big man to hold his hands up.

so you read the hurling page

We may not get a good start tomorrow (we never do) but i think we will nick it by a point. we were favourites form the Ulster final O'Neill.........

will there be any links for this game tonight? Setanta i think are showing it. bloody disgrace!!!

Tg4 showing our game tomorrow. 8/11 for no goals seems a fair price, with good defence and the weather to be bitter cold i'll have some of that.

I doubt we will get a team out for this.

the league set ups do look a bit strange, but sure

Antrim vs Carlow- Report for county website

CARLOW hurlers recovered from a dreadful start to overcome Antrim in this exciting tie at Dr Cullen Park, Carlow yesterday and set up a home final meeting with neighbours Laois.

The Saffrons raced into a 1-3 to no score lead after seven minutes, right half-forward Eddie McCloskey opening the scoring with a goal on three minutes.

Carlow slowly gained a foothold and in the 10th minute were boosted by a fine individual goal from centre-forward Eddie Byrne.

Carlow went 2-11 to 1-11 in front on 46 minutes and still held a three-point advantage when the Saffrons were awarded a 35-metre free in the dying stages. Liam Watson's effort rose over the bar and Carlow were through to the final.

These sides meet again in the opening round of the NHL on Sunday next when Antrim have home ground advantage.

Scorers -- Carlow: E Byrne 1-3, R Dunbar 1-1, C Hughes 0-3 (1f), A Gaule, R Coady (1f, 1 '65) 0-2 each, C Doyle, B Lawler and P Kehoe 0-1 each. Antrim: L Watson 0-7 (0-5f), S McCrory 0-4, E McCloskey 1-0, A Smiley 0-2, K McKeegan (1f), M Scullion 0-1 each.

I'm confused.

your confused!! this is the person who stole my identity and is posting under my name.

as for our game in Croke, less said the better.

will talk about it when i feel better

not another thread

[Kavanagh]

Gettin the rugby in in Meaghers, hopefully catch the end of the Junior Final and then hopefully get to see CJ or Mackers burn a hero of mine, Mickey Kavanagh, for pace and a goal or four.

I don't know how many times I have watched Kavanagh and thought he would get caught for pace. It rarely happens.

He plays full back, will be hard to pass never mind out run him!!

[i may still be pissed]

While not good for the pitch that would slow the game down which would be no bad thing for Dunloy...

the pitch is Shiite, we played on it the other week and it was sticky, wasn't level (within reason) the grass was badly cut and a football followed by a hurling match before the semi final will certainly cut it up.

hope to be down the next day after our final. would maybe need a chauffeur as i may still be pissed

Does the next day after your final end in "y"?

yes, my wife is expecting me back on Tuesda"y"  after work

Kilkenny did indeed come up, a request by Cody. Antrim should meet Kilkenny again after the next round of the Shield competition. decent enough build up for the league.

Galway should win the Walsh cup this year. strange that in the last 3 years. Leinster teams will have only won it once
