Antrim Hurling

[Seamroga in exile]

1-6 to 1-1 to shamrocks after 20 minutes.

[Seamroga in exile]

Half time. 1-7 to 1-1 to shamrocks. Loughgiel had advantage of a gusty breeze in first half. Dunloy's keeper is barely reaching half way with pocs.

[BlackandAmber]

Is 6pts enough?

[Seamroga in exile]

Loughgiel just scored to level in the last minute. Duffy is doing everything in his power to give it to dunloy.

[Seamroga in exile]

He just took away that point after he gave it.
Dunloy win by a point.

[BlackandAmber]

Why was the score disallowed?

Is the ref's bias a Loughgiel man's opinion or was he seriously biased?

[Seamroga in exile]

the umpire at the back post gave it. He blew his whistle and turned to run up the field. He was then stopped by some Dunloy players and told that the other umpire wanted his attention. He then sprinted (for the first time in the match) to that umpire. There was a discussion. He cancelled the point on the word of the near post umpire. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is wrong. Surely the umpire at the back post (behind the goals as he was standing) has the better view? We were directly behind, it curled in over.

Also dunloy's no 13 tried to push ding into the steps at the pavillion when going for a ball. Surely a sending off. Not according to Duffy, he  booked both players. Towards the end another dunloy player pushed a loughgiel player into one of the dug outs. Nothing.

He had a poor game in general. He let too much slashing a slapping go. A very poor display in general from him.

Having said that, we should have been out of sight at half time. When, oh when, are we going to realise that all this hand passing and short passing in the backs doesn't work? We gifted them at least 5 points in the second half by doing this.

Rant over.

I hear different "Horse's mouth and all that", the Umpire on the back post was a Dunloy man who signaled wide, umpire on the the near was a Shamrocks man who gave the point. Then after discussion "both umpires agreed" it was a wide. The near post umpire which the ball passed is the wrong umpire to call the far post umpire usually calls those, I hear you lads videoed the match so that should either get your man off or on the hook, im sure he cant wait! So consider yourself educated Seamroga, and I would still in exile you'll never make a reporter.

Well, saying as I was there and didn't hear it from the horses mouth I'll take my own word on it. who mentioned anything about being a reporter? Blackandamber asked a question and I answered it. what about the other incidents?

So in essence you: Watch a game from the worst position in the ground, spout on about an incident that you are totally and factually incorrect, have a pop and lambast one of the counties best referees, and make silly statements about incidents that happened over a hundred meters away from you, and forget to mention that your lads only scored 2 points in the second half, which of course you neglected to then mentioned during your silly little snippets during the game and have the ordacity to then give an overall assessment of the referees performance! Ask yourself this, why am I watching this from behind the goals?

[Seamroga in exile]

I wasn't watching it behind the goals, I was watching it from behind the player. Like I say, I was there, I know what I saw. Again there's  no comment about the other incidents. And I did say we should have been out of sight in the first half.

Explain this to me. Is a slash a foul or isn't It? Should it not be given as a free? or should you play on until the perpetrator of the foul's team get a free, then book that player?  But still reward his team the free?

[Minder]

Good win for Glenariffe today against St Johns, we could get out of the shit yet.

[BlackandAmber]

I didn't mean to start a row there lads.  We all see our own clubs matches ina certain light. Refs do a tough job and I'd say there's not more than 10 of them are completely biased against the Town ---- that's a joke !     just in case you didn't realise. But seriously we have to remmeber that we're totally biased ourselves but as well refs do make mistakes. We should try to start from the position that there's no malice.

[Seamroga in exile]

I agree, but sometimes refs have bad days. This was one of them.
