Antrim Hurling

[NAG1]

nag no one can deny the quality of  cloot , but again you begrudge , he has a young family and wants to spend time with them . many another selfish man gives his time to the game and nothing to his family ! so leave cloot alone - the guy is a legend and forever in our hearts will be his performances in '89 . here's to cloot !

Did you ever hear me begrudge him, great player end of!

Plenty of other people have young families and manage to give a bit of time to the GAA, my comment was more of a regret that one of our best corner forwards ever is not able to share his undoubted knowledge and skill with the next generation.

More of a sadness than begrudgery.

He took the Antrim minors for a year in the mid 90's, 1996 I think.

The shame is that he seemed to take pride in the fact that he wasnt involved in the game any more, going by a recent interview.

N A G translate and expand on the above quote the fact you say " he seemed to take pride in etc.." would indicate that you are really be a begrudger and a sinister one at that and now you seem to try and back track i have come across many like you over the years and really that damning with feint praise is quite pathetic and not very wholesome. You really need to take a closer look at what you say my dear friend , end of.

First off I aint your friend 

Secondly my point was that in the interview he did for the TV programme he did IMO seem to take some sort of pride (maybe not correct wording) in the fact that he doesnt be involved now.

My point was that it was a shame that he wasnt involved yes he took the minors for a year and put in a full shift as a player there is no doubt of that. Only thing is how richer would Armoy club be with him involved in their underage setup or somewhere in the club and it is a pity that he isnt involved with them now.

Sorry to have to spell it out to you but I think everyone else got the gist of my post!

[the colonel]

I remember watching the documentary that is being discussed. I think cloot also served as Armoy club chairman for a period if I remember correctly. But I don't think NAG is far off the mark about his satisfaction (maybe not pride) about not being involved. Each man to himself as no one owes anything to the GAA, but he shouldn't have been allowed to get into such a position by the powers than were rather than the powers that be at the minute.

[thehurler]

colonel i'm surprised you have time to watch a documentary on hurling with the amount of time and money you put into your soccer watching and your drinking ( which whiskey drinking face red cheeks doesn't like).
nag maybe has a hold on you so you have to stick up for him .......

[Last Man]

I think he'd say that it's a weight off his shoulders as I think Armoy expected him to champion the club single handedly back then but even he couldn't get the necessary commitment from players and mentors. It's a pity he got a sickner because the Glenshesk setup would definitely benefit from his experience.

[the colonel]

Yes I like a bit of football but certainly not a whiskey man. Nag's opinions have no bearing on my own

[thehurler]

now in the interests of goodwill and hurling i will enter into a truce with fellow posters and the terms of this truce are basically no first strike from the hurler but all posters must stick to this .
i look forward to more colourful posts relating to hurling .

Team for sunday

Sean Delargy will make his first start of the year for Antrim in Sunday's Ulster SHC final against Down at Casement Park.

Manager Dinny Cahill has included him in the full back line as the Saffrons attempt to get back on track following their heartbreaking Leinster SHC extra-time loss to Offaly a few weeks ago.

Aaron Graffin and Neal McAuley are in the US and won't feature, while Joey Scullion missed out with a broken finger.



Antrim (SH v Down): C O'Connell; K McGourty, C Donnelly, S Delargy; P Shiels, J Campbell, C Herron; S McNaughton, K Stewart; C McFall, T McCann, L Watson; PJ O'Connell, N McManus, K McKeegan.
