There is a certain irony in Sinn Fein accusing their brothers in arms (no pun intended) the DUP of a carve up or dirty tricks.

Dall have very bad U-21 record

[reunification will happen]

About the inclusiveness or non inclusiveness of the GAA- I attended the Cayman islands GAA finals last sun week and apart from the Irish, Aussies, locals, yanks, Canadians and south Africans playing ( men's and woman's leagues) there were a few lads playing from unionist/loyalist background from the six counties, plus a few Glaswegian rangers fans - all who apparantly would berate the GAA when back in their home domiciles but were happy enough to play , enjoy and really get into Gaelic football on grand cayman island!
So maybe the problem is. It with the GAA , or Ireland - but the 'commu ities' fri
Where these people come format 'home' !!!

While I think the pic in the medals looked dilly, in a few short years, these clubs and competitions will no longer be contentious - they will be assimilated into society just like Connolly station, wife tone quay, Robert Emmett st etc etc

Time will move on, as will people - reunification will happen and help this also - so there is no point in flustering over something that is a non entity .
Eventually people will not look for offence and just grow up!!

Go on, tell us when ?

Wallace has released his statement now - see hogan stand website.

feel a bit bad for slating him after reading that

Good speak NAH, Jerry may have made an error of judgement with going public about speaking to RTE but nobody can doubt his commitment to Antrim since the start of the year. The players respected him but didn't follow through with the same commitment at times. Sure the next poor f**ker that takes them will find out the same. He is a handy scapegoat for the players performances this year.

SinnFein must feel let down by their good friends the DUP.

Big mistake by the club, no doubt.

Hardstation because there was no outcry at your club everyone should have the same view?

Yeah some pretty horrific photos of the dead children in tomorrows papers, Syria isn't one of the fashionable Middle East countries to take an interest in unfortunately. Assad should have been taken out long ago.

The Cushendall brethern can get very prickly, nobody was having a go at Sambo merely pointing out that it was strange he took the role on when he was already with the minors. It isn't personal, relax.

I take it mcGourty and Stewart won't be stripping out MR2, since they are badly injured?

Andy McCallin, Micky Darragh, Kevin Madden and CJ McGourty the only top drawer Antrim forwards in the last 40 yesrs. 

Only top class players of current era are CJ and Kevin McGourty and Aodhan Gallagher - Fact!

Apologies to:-

JP O'Kane
Kevin Gough
Pat Armstrong
J McKiernaqn
Frank fitzsimmons
Gerry Mc Cann
Justin Crozier
James Loughrey
Donal Laverty
Tony McAtamney
Michael McCann
Aidan Hammll

not necessarily in that order

Is your favourite colour blue ? What has Kevin McGourty done for Antrim?

I agree with Hardy.












(Which feels unsettling)

Unless there is a political angle of course.

[but all the first team regulars are 15 Million plus signings. What regulars do not fit into this cathegory (ignoring Giggs and Scholes)?]

Have to say, there has not been a Premiership won yet that has not been bought, in one way or another. Once you have the top professional players who can be bought by the financially stronger clubs there's no chance for the poorer sides.

United fans have been playing 'the players coming through' card, but this is really a myth. I mean there's a trickle of players coming through, but all the first team regulars are 15 Million plus signings. What regulars do not fit into this cathegory (ignoring Giggs and Scholes)?

Today, is a worring day for Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelski and (to a far lesser degree) Liverpool. City are now champions of the most popular league in the world. No longer will they have to fool players like Robinho into signing for them, no longer will they have to make do with good players who have massive baggage.

Evra, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Smalling, Welbeck, Hernandez - about half the team.

Similar to City then.

I cant rember the exact words but he made a racist remark and stated that he was happy he was dead.

A member of the public reported it to Twitter and they deemed that it was in breach of the law and had to report it to the police

For a crime to have been committed I would think someone would have to have been seriously damaged or slandered personally by his comments. I still think it's ludicrous.

Of course it was excessive, terrible what happened to Muamba but it became a cause célèbre, people were outdoing each other with the grief.

I'd say the rock bar have received more than that from him in the past lot of months....if he had spent it in his own club then they would be able to pay for it ?

He was barred from the Galls club for a period.

Got a bad injury - some fella in St. Galls made a hames of his insurance forms - club washed their hands of it - he ended up having to fork out 2 and a half grand.

Completely scandalous if you ask me.

His folks forked out the two and a half grand but your point stands.
