Antrim Hurling

'Donegal? Why in caps?'

Why not?

Why emphasise where the ref is from?

Would be more inclined to emphasise that he is in actual fact a football ref primarily.

Wasn't at the game but I have to say there is a terrible tendency with hurling referees throughout Ulster to blow for every little contact.

We had a visiting club up from Cork during the Summer and they commented on that a number of times during the games played

But sure some refs is our own county are football refs and end up being very good hurling ref and vice versa.

Imagine the uproar if the Dall would of lost.

I don't care if the referee is from Donegal or if he referees football as well, it would be nice if he could answer how off the ball a player hits another in the balls, the linesman sees it, calls in the referee and tells him what happened and the referee gives a yellow card. Surely it's a red all day long?

The ref in question is living in Donegal but is from Kilkenny originally I believe.

With championship over for most of our clubs, is there any players that have stood out for you and should be in our new managers (whenever appointed) panel to improve on last year. Or even is there any player that you feel shouldn't be in the panel

Well for a start I'd have James McNaughton in centre forward. He looks capable of taking some of the scoring burden off McManus and if we can do that I think we'll have a better rattle at the Joe McDonagh than we did last year.

Ive seen alot of our young lads step up this year to the senior ranks from the previous minor teams and they have given me a lot of hope for the future. Much to early for the county for them but def down the line.

Keelan Molloy has been excellent this year for us and could make an impact in the county team if he sticks at it.

Agree about James McNaughton. hes really come to the fore this season and has taken over the main man role now in the go to for scores for Lgeil. Has a good future ahead of him.

Just after hearing that BALLYCASTLE beat Loughgiel by a point in the under 16 league playoff . Must of been a good game between two very good sides . Tho hearing that some supporters of Loughgiel tried to attack the referee after the game and his mum ended up on the ground . So hope she is ok and I'm sure that young cunning will get it all sorted

Horified to hear how one of the counties top refs & his family were treated & the end of today's game. For a mob of 30 people to surrond their car attack & abuse them has no place in our game. I'm sorry but it's time something was done about Loughgiel & the continuous barbaric behaviour & abuse of our officials. You can blame a minority few if you want but a mob of 30 people surrounding a car with prominent officials from the club in inexcusable as is one of your mentors reactions to the referee after the minor final as was your club & supporters actions on the 'dugout gate' need I go on....... I hope Mrs Cunning is ok & I hope we don't lose another referee to the actions of cowards..

What game was this?

[Mcuilin man]

Under 16 league playoff final

[Milltown Row2]

Under 16 league playoff final

The game that wasn't played then went to county appeal??

[Mcuilin man]

No both teams finished level on points and both teams thought they had won the league and then it was brought to Ulster Council and they have the right ruling and it was a playoff

aye a 30 strong mob you say?  the young mans father approached the ref after the ref left his son in tears being his usual self.  the mother being her usual self also fell wasn't pushed.  a lot about nothing really.

You mean Loughgiel being typical Loughgiel at the moment. 

Don't think any sort of mud slinging by LG can excuse their behaviour on this one.

Time for them to clean up their act and show some sort of leadership from within the club.

Plenty of things happen for.most clubs it's how you react and learn from it that shows true colours.

Accepting no responsibility and blaming everyone else seems to be the norm. Why change now eh!
