[Loughgiel waiting on the prodigal son to return for them to play his obligatory 3 games a year]

With a few league games to go before championship I'd imagine that all the teams with serious thoughts of winning will be playing their strongest teams in the coming weeks. Cushendall have had a bit of a blip but will surely be favourites though others here will say different

As for who won't win it, will ourselves, Glenariffe, Rossa, Johnnies and Ballycastle have no serious claims, but who will get the semifinal spot from that lot?

We've Dunloy in Belfast (our first match in senior championship in Belfast for 5 years) As the game is at Casement I doubt that it will give us any advantage and tighter pitch would have been a better option for us to keep it competitive.

Dunloy running into form and maybe not done yet, Loughgiel waiting on the prodigal son to return for them to play his obligatory 3 games a year to try and win the championship,but it's Cushendall for me because they have a strong defence and if the right ball is played into the forwards they will beat the other two contenders.

Well, you can't expect him to play when he's injured now, can you?   

I am sure there are plenty of teams would be glad to have the "prodigal son" on their panel even half fit, ourselves included of course!  I really can see past Loughgiel to be honest.  Man for man, I feel they have more strengh and depth, youth and fitness on their side and a reasonable reserves bench at that!  We are clearly out of the picture this year without question!  I just hope there referees live upto the mark, I hope the selection of refs is kind to us in the first instance, if ya know what I mean.

Only one McQuillans man, no Rossa men, says it all for sure!  Terrible state of affairs!

There always seems to be some refs who come on here and berate other referees!!!

They should set up their own forum , as they have nothing really to add

If you are inferring that I am a referee, you could not be more wrong!  I am too young yet for that nonsense, plus I have not got a big enough ego!

[Thank god GD can't do this one. According to Loughgeil lads, he appears to be getting a little familair with Dunloy from what I have heard?]

Thank god GD can't do this one. According to Loughgeil lads, he appears to be getting a little familair with Dunloy from what I have heard?  Mostly likely OE, given that RM is retired and past it. But then, he may make one of those miraculous recoveries of his!   

So in your opinion you reckon he's big enough to take verbal abuse from a tr**p supporter (your very first post on this board), but not big enough to referee fairly. Confusing. But I suppose the latter is not your opinion, it's "what you've heard" 

Not my first post at all!  And I suppose you being a Dunloy man, you dont have tr**p supporters at all?

How's you fairing up for Championship Skull? Are the Richmonds, Ally Elliot, and Dick still playing?

We have ya's at Casement on the 28th of August so it should give ya's an extra game at Casement when you blow us out of the water

Fair Play I heard GD went into the clubrooms in his kit  after him and wouldn't leave until his name was given. He got his man I believe, "Chesty" was his nickname?

I also heard from good authority, he did not go into the clubhouse on his own but brought in a few of his umpires.  Fair play to them for taking no crap!

I've heard from good authority the idiot who made the comment is'nt even a member of Loughgeil.  I suspect Duffy is also a little bit bigger than that, to take any notice of a few nasty word/s which may have been spoken following  the heat of battle.  It would take more that that to get Duffy wound up, if you ask me!  Having said that, I can think of a few other refs, who will of course remain nameless, who would go the whole hog with this. Time will tell of course, but I cant see anything coming of it if the culprit is not a member of the association?
