Skinner got 2 months, but Ding also got 2 months after video evidence was used. Not sure what he did.
JC will be a huge miss. Hope he recovers quick

be a big blow to Loughgiel should they be missing him.

North Antrim Gael, young Clarke is a great talent but only 15/16 and many things can happen between now and senior, not least soccer which he would also be good at and has been on trials. As for Ballycastle they have no chance as they have no club now worth talking about. They are run by the funboy three (Donnelly's) and nobody else allowed a say. They don't have any decent coaches bar maybe Humpy and he's with Down. The club discipline is bad at underage( 2u14's sent of in Ulster feile). On the plus side it has numbers if it ever gets sorted.

If it's the CC I know of, he's not old at all! But I don't know the people down there that well at all so I'll wait for someone else to clarify!
Terrible news if it's true - RIP.

Mr T, Im honestly not getting at you or the loughgiel club in general, but you would have to admit yourself that there has been loads of talent through that club in the last twenty years and have achieved nothing on the main scene ie Senior Level.
My thought on it is that, as soon as something starts to go wrong that the players just return to type and 'hit anything that moves' kind of attitude. I dont know if this is being coached into them or what but it does seem strange that different groups under different managements have ended up with this kind of record.
any ideas what it is?

Re: Derry Club football and Hurling

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was at the Minor Hurling game and I have to say it def wasn't a dirty game but the Antrim lads lost the plot in the injury time when they knew they were beat. they had 3 lads sent of and were starting fights all over the pitch near the end, (which their supporters were encouraging by cheering them and telling lads to "get f**king in there and sort them c***ts out". A screen lad also got the line and deserved it for striking but in his defence it was for hitting back at 2 of the antrim lads who both attacked him at once during a scuffle but striking is striking so no complaints.
A couple of Screen lads did get badly split and there was alot of off the ball pulling in the final moments including our Full back getting pulled across the chest on our 14 when we were actually attacking their goal with the ball about their 45. While our full back was down injured the Full forward started on 1 of the corner backs who was about half his size and when play stopped at the other end the Antrim players and subs all sprinted the length of the field to try and get involved in what had basically been Handbags. The louhguile supporters were not helpful as everytime one of their players pulled a late stroke or pulled on a man of the ball he was widely cheered and encouraged to do so again. Every time there was a scuffle they were up of their seats and a small number of yo-cals kept approaching the pitch fence only having to be told to return to their seats about 3/4 times in last 10 minutes of additional time.
There was a bit of a scuffle after the game started by the Louhguile No. 20 doing a flying kung-f* type kick into the Screen corner backs chest when the screen man actually approached him with his hand out to shake hands as he was leaving the pitch. He then proceeded to stamp on him on the ground this brought a very sickening large cheer from their supporters and like a nice brave boy he then ran off and proceeded to Kung-f* kick the Screen manager in the middle of the back when he was shaking hands with their manager, and knocked the Screen manager to the ground. Again this brought a very large cheer from their supporters. Both these incidents happened right in front of me, and I mean I wasn't even 10 yards away.
At this point the Louhguile supporters all started to try and enter the field to fight with the Screen players and management, but thankfully the stewarts managed to get all the Screen players off the pitch and down the tunnel thus protecting them, from grown men, and strangely women also, who were trying to attack them.
No screen players were involved in the after match scuffle and the management were only involved in trying to restore order as stewarts quickly surrounded them as some supporters scaled the fence.
With the Screen players now of the field the Supporters that had made it on to the field and the louhguile players were trying to attack the Screen management and anyone else they could get their hands on but thankfully their were plenty of stewarts and a few calm heads on the louhguile side also, which diffused the situation quickly before it could escalate.
I have to say I have never seen supporters so wound up and so filled with hatred. Some of the stuff they were shouting at the ref at the screen lads was some of the most abusive I have ever heard and the instructions being shouted at their own players like "do that wee f**ker" "take him out" and "take his F**king hand off were a total disgrace. I know Louhguile have a reputation for this type of thing but I honestly couldnt believe how vile and hate filled their supporters were it was the type of reaction youd get breaking into 'the fields of Athenry' in at Ibrox as Barry Ferguson was about to hit a penalty.
The game was a good game and def wasnt dirty, it was a tough Ulster SF between 2 pretty even teams going flat out to reach the Final. The Louhguile players had played well but couldnt score from play and found themselves 3 points down with normal time up and thats when they began to show a very ugly side to their game.

Loughgeil deserved to win full stop, hungrier and better this evening.
Things never fell for Dunloy but in all honesty "the harder you work, the luckier you get" and Loughgeil deserved those breaks.
Agree that the dismissals had no bearing whatsoever, but in my opinion aside from the wild pull from Kevin Martin, which was coming (did Loughgeil not know) and he derserved to walk and a long ban, Dunloy were not as guilty as Loughgeil.
In my opinion (again) James McKeague's tackle on Watson was a booking. Watson moved inside him and McKeague reached out and caught his midriff. Booking.
McKeague is not a dirty player in the slightest.
After 5 minutes Johnny Campbell swung round Connor Cunning's head, plain and simple.
After about 15 Winker swung round Mickey McClements face plain and simple. If he wasn't wearing a facemask this evening his would be getting his face rearranged.
I would love to watch the game again and for the referee to watch it again. I would not have lied to referee that one whatsoever...there was so much going on I didn't know where to look.
Dunloy had no answer for the intensity and that spark like a Richmond goal never came for their supporters.
Loughgeil arguably favourites for the final now then?
Their supporters will be hard to take - "Shemrocks" still ringing in my ears!!
Advice to Cushendall - get to the stand in Casement and get there earlier and keep them eejits from banging the back of the stand.

Was at an og sport final at St Teresas a few weeks ago and Owen was the ref. He was going straight on to Omagh for a Tyrone V Down masters game, and then back to Portglenone for an intermediate c`ship match. Refereeing three matches that day.
I`d say if you polled the players, Owen would be the one ref no one would object to. Think he has his time served, and a county senior final well within his capabilities. Def the best in Antrim at this stage in my humble opinion!

If you have information that helps in an appeal process (in this case the use of video) then what is the problem? If you don't have it then you can't use it. Honestly some people can't see the woods from the trees such is their bitterness towards other clubs theres no point arguing with them
I agree with Skull.
Did Loughgeil beat Portaferry recently as well? It's hard to call between the big 3 at the minute. Any one of them could lift the Volunteer Cup.
