If it's for a "Stick a red hot poker up Slim's ass" fund, Ill happily donate, a poor student though I may be.

Was up at a quarter to seven and the thing sold out about ten people infront of me. Tickets badly wanted!

Brian Neeson is not of counsty standard. Having played against him a few times, and adm ittedly he's still young, he's shown no justification of the hype I hear from Johnnies. Completely one footed, and it's not even that great. Anyone who was at the St. Gall's - St. John's minor championship game earlier in the year would have seen him getting completely skint.

Yes, because insulation shirts are known for their heavy padding. Eejit.

Locky McCurdy still plays? Find yourselves some body armour lads!

Nrico, I don't doubt that in a few years Colie Cavanagh will have experienced considerably more success than CJ, but that is simply due to his being a Tyrone man. CJ would have walked onto any minor team in the country last year.

In light of O'Neill's post, perhaps I should revise my opinion to him being the best young attacker.

You thought Ciaran McGinley was the best player on that team O'Neill? Having played (and lost narrowly) to that Errigal side, I would have said John Kelly or Aaron Monaghan were the two best players on the team, with Barry Canavan not too far behind.

Milltown Row, Burkey's not good enough for senior hurling, was fairly lucky to make the minor panel.

Colm Cavanagh is the most over rated young player of everyone mentioned here!

Yes Slim, All Ireland Champions Salthill. Remember we made it out of Ulster and all the way to the final only to fall at the final hurdle? No? His attitude has come on immensey Slim, he fianlly appears to be growing up. I don't think he's best suited as our minor captain this year, as his mouth will emerge at some stage. As I've said Justy is a great player, but he doesn't have the skills CJ does.

Crozier is indeed a cracking player, no doubt about it, and is certainly a huge part of Antrim's future, but from my view McGourty is a better player. If you want to play little games like that, why don't you ask Nemo Rangers od Salthill who CJ is......??

Dungiven were beaten 1-11 to 1-4 by Castlewellan last Sunday in the preliminary round. Nrico, would you care to nominate someone better out there? He's as good as anyone in the province.

Final

First two games have been played, Castlewellan winning the preliminary last week and ourselves spanking Monaghan Harps this afternoon in terrible conditions. They were 0-6 to 0-2 up at half time, with McGourty playing across the backline as it was obvious he wouldn't receive much ball in the gale force winds. After half time however, he took control of the game, scoring a fantastic goal inside the first ten seconds. He ended up with 2-5 I think from our total of 2-10, including a point from either sideline and a free from the forty-five. No doubt in my mind now that he's the best young footballer in Ulster, he's come on so much even in the year since I played with him.

Galls 2-10 Harps 0-09

Posters such as Flameboy and thegael thinking they're hard as nails republicans when really no one gives a shit.

U21? Slim, the last I heard of the U21 was back in August when we beat Aldergrove and reckoned the semi with the Johnnies would be the following week. Haven't heard a f**king thing since! I'm coming home for the minor game this weekend, lots of lads still there from our wonder team last year, hopefully they can go further!
