To be fair, he is right about that Saffron Gael report.

It is disappointing that those in charge didn't edit that wording at the start, as it is just embarrassing and reflects badly on a highly respected  publication.

I would say even most PG1 people would be embarrassed by reading it.

Yes Cnoc Ban that is the point I am making

[EOC1923]

I don't think its Portglenone's insecurities you need to worry about EOC. You can hardly get through a post without bringing them up!

Are you genuinely obsessed with them or is it an attempt to get a rise out of Bannside? Some of the other Cargin posters are the same.

I gave my genuine opinion on them after watching them last Wednesday night, thats as far as my obsession has went Caesar

[Níl a fhios agam]

Read that report also... i thought the report was pretty poor in all fairness. Although a stag and a manager away, portglenone still seem to have their key players out. And im sure whitehill would have been missing men also.

Their is a band of Cargin trrops on here like to bash other clubs quite frequently and seems to be Casements turn this week.   

Perhaps that level of siege mentality is key to their success. Hate the worlds

Nil,

March 2024 you joined this forum, your first 8 posts referred to Casements. Obsessed you say? Hate the worlds you say? 



Edit - I should perhaps have referred to them as Bannsides 'Carefree Casements' lol

[Níl a fhios agam]

Theres certain things casements do that i dont agree with that im allowed to comment on, as everyone is. But there seems a bit of spite between Cargin and them on here and in general which i never knew existed. Wouldnt really be historic rivalry there would there? So assuming something has caused that friction that us outsiders may be oblivious too. Havnt seen many of their games outside of the county final so please enlighten us

[paddyjohn]

Could be an agenda there within the match reports.

[bannside]

I've never heard of any acrimony that exists between the clubs or the players. Genuinely cannot recall a flare up of any kind between them either, at any time.
Dosent mean you wouldn't love to beat them, but that's a back handed compliment to Cargin because of their superiority over a long period of time.

Will it happen in 2025, lol..

[Take the Mark]

Indeed Bannside. No friction here.

Apart from biased match reports 

But you may have had to live with those for quite some time yourselves!

[Milltown Row2]

Many here (now, as the one that was is missing) give up their time to do the pictures, match reports and everything else that goes into the Saffron Gael?

Saffron Gael is funded by clubs and county and other generous supporters, the only way it is able to continue is through the actions of the volunteers at the grounds who provide the Gaels within Antrim, and beyond, a commentary of the games, both juvenile and senior at both codes..

Report are sent in I'd imagine bar possibly a bitta word proofing its uploaded. If people on here could assist them in that area I'm sure they'd be grateful, I've noticed this year less people at the grounds doing the reports, so you will get the obvious artistic take on the game.

Most will be reports done by a 'hommer', if you have every listened to a game on local radio when Antrim is involved its hilarious at times the biased commentary, but better than not getting to hear it

Agree MR2 , people are sacrificing their own enjoyment of the game at times in order to get these reports out to people , they are no better off for doing it so chastising them on a discussion board seems a tad silly to me. Hard to keep up with a game and get everything noted to include on your report , I for one am very glad of these and enjoy reading as they come in.

Same old story tbh. 99% of people who are doing f**k all criticising the 1% who are trying to bring something positive.

Andy has stepped down

Can't say I'm annoyed or surprised.

That could be the same with of the reporters getting personal with management teams or players.

Problem is so many homers have an axe to grind with some people within their own club.

Not pointing fingers at BS there either
