3 straight reds for Rasharkin, I believe.

2 red for Rasharkin and 2 red for Creggan, bit of handbags and ref sent the four of them off , no complaints. Not sure about other red card though. Creggan and Rasharkin both had 13 men on at the end of game.

Me thinks you are FOS RG, I hear 5 Reds- 3 of your lads 2 creggan lads, dont know if the creggan lads would share the same sentiment after your lad dirty joed the minor off the ball which by all accounts started the free for all. Granted not as bad as the Jonnies and Cargin but I also hear your mentors went in for a bit of boxing as well, you think you boys would have learned your lesson and be thankful your still in the leagues after your last handbag situation in ballymena! Maybe MH can work his magic again at UC, what you think?

My point was that I havent seen the video nor have I read the report like 99% if not 100% of the posters on here, so I am going on what I have been told by reliable people who were at the game. So my rational is that I am inclined to believe what I was told about the players involved in the incident and obviously this was reflected in the report to go by the suspensions handed down.

My second point was that no one can tell me without seeing the report that there was anything untoward about it. And without being the actual author of the report no one can tell, what his perceptions of the incident were, so to come on a make some of the claims that are being made about it are a bit over the top IMO.

I do appreciate the sarcasm Nag1, however is it a question of the dog getting a bad name, i.e. the individuals suspended temporarily! So based on past experience and opinions of reliable friends you are excusing what is inexcusable, why has the CCC done a u-turn then? The only lad that hasn't escaped is MD and that is questionable yet but he was wrong and does deserve his punishment under rule, whatever that is? As the old saying goes "Nothing stays secret in the GAA", the claims are not over the top, the only thing being claimed here is the Referee has allegedly lied on his report which has now been upheld by video evidence, and enough people have seen the report at this stage to quote chapter and verse. He was wrong, dishonest, and discriminatory, which he has made no secret of in the comfort of county meetings for his lack of patience when it comes to North Antrim. What is they say " Put a beggar on horseback....................."

[Of course I would agree that any referee should report the facts and the facts only in his report. That being said, the attempted attack on him was long before the report was even written, so we will just call these two completely seperate incidents.The report which I havent seen, had nothing and I mean nothing to do with the attempted assualt on him and this should not be in some way be dragged through in a justifying manner.If there was anything in the refs report which didnt transpire there may be a number of reasons for this and unless we are the individual himself we will never know this for sure. My view on it is that if someone was attempting to attack me or verbally abusing me I would not be defending them in any way in my report.]

Nag1 if you haven't viewed the report or seen the video and then proceed to go on about situations that didn't transpire what reasons or rational are you applying? The report seems to have been rubbished by video evidence and you seem to be missing the fact that the Referee has allegedly lied, and only for the video evidence a number of lads would be suspended for the rest of the year, now tell me what justice can those lads now expect from CCC or County Committee! Yes if a referee is attacked then bury anyone involved, absolutely 100% however if nothing occurred but in the mind of the referee who was prepared to see lads sacrificed then what action should be taken then, you are avoiding the elephant in the room, the report was complete BS it should go both ways should it not?

Attempting to assault an official in my book he is getting off lightly with a year.

Totally agree Nag1, however this all seems to be because a Referee that has made his views continually clear in the safety of South Antrim/Belfast about North Antrim, its clubs and its committee and his hatred of all that is North Antrim decided that he was the one and the only at the game, the fact that he allegedly then lied about most of what went down and was prepared to let lads swing! Only the video of the game found him out gives major cause for concern, would you not agree? I think the County needs to look at sanctioning him, and he chairs the CHC, how can you go out to referee after you've  been found out to be a  liar!

btdtgtt you dont seem to get to many games but always commenting, put the pints down and pay in the odd time it does work you know. Anyway murder on the dance floor at hannahstown town last night, TNO manager put off the pitch and all hell broke loose in with the supporters when he chinned Micko H , then it started back on the pitch 5 minutes later, fckn mahem! And yes i paid in £3 well worth it in the end, what a show!!!!!

Good win for the hurlers today afer a very poor start. They're in the semi final again. Draw on Monday I think.

Was talking to lad this morning who was at the game yesterday in Newry, said on two occasions the Meath manager and runner both called the Down management a "Bunch of Orange Bstds"! You 6 County F****s Cant believe it, this is beginning to creep in more and more a needs to stamped out immediately, I would hope your county board have the B***s to take this all the way and make an example of the two F ers!

Lads all this chat who plays where, under different scenarios etc etc, we should account for westmeath fairly easily and if not then it will be a poor performance and Wallace should pack the bags, their forward line is fairly handy with Clarke, Murtagh and Greville and a great keeper in Mc Govern but apart from that if we don't win comfortably with a high points tally then we are in big diffs for the next round.

Agree totally, but this idiot is dragging it down, should take a leaf out of the county website and just gas the F*** out this EP!

This is nuts, love a bit of crac but its getting beyond a joke now, FFS do something MR2

Never seen as much bullshit on this site in my life, FFS catch a grip, your all taking the bait from EP!  Mibag if your on defending your referee's then stick to the points at hand! All your doing is creating a platform for everyone then to have a dig, get personal and bullshit about what this referee did years ago and he's still a C***T no matter what! This is a hurling Thread, you want to start your Referee's thread then go ahead and then they can all go to that topic and leave this to issues around club and county to this thread, you obviously are close enough to referee's, IMO your doing none of them any favours at all except allowing people to have a pop and get really personal. To the senior members of the board FFS get some of the idiots barrred and lets get back to normal.

It will have to be someone from NA, the city lads don't know S*** from S*****

U heading to the town tonight MR2

There was strong hint alleging  that the injury occurred while representing DCU, however they had enough funding/injury expenses and the lad was encouraged to go North quietly? Too much cloak and dagger around this one, suppose as always in the GAA nothing stays secret for too long

Don't know about the knights of Columbanus and the power they yield in Antrim but I have noticed that since we've got fulltime secretaries in place in each county board that the powers that be in Croke park control everything now. There is no real democracy within the GAA now, not that there was a lot in the first place.

Look how quick Duffy (the Croke park one) got the Armagh/Laois issue 'sorted'? Armagh were brought to heel very quickly, granted the overturning of the centre backs suspension sweetened the deal. There was no talking about the queens visit, all rosey in the garden.

That to me is a bit disturbing.

There related you know, both of them!

I do believe however some of our Referee's are within that circle mentioned, even Eucharistic ministers!
