Antrim Hurling

[Sleeping giant]

Carlow did a lot of improving over the last number of years. Whoever was in charge round the time we scraped by them in championship did a great job with them. If it was Ryan I think we could have a verygood manager on our hands here.

Yeah tommy, I'm with you regarding that idea. He'll be a new man with a new agenda and different take on things, say it every year, if the team buy into it (what he wants to do) then we can do well, if not, then they might as well fcuk off (players that is)

100% MR2.  That's all of them. Ours included. I said it last year.  The players are there.  It's getting them all on same frame of mind

[btdtgtt]

I am not disagreeing here sleeping giant but when u say ther players are there - for what?
To do what? To win an all-ireland? To get into division 1? To maintain division2? To not get stuffed in championship?

[Sleeping giant]

To go out and put in a performance that leaves you with a bit of pride.  hold there own against top counties. The last year Antrim done this was 1/4 final against cork.  7/8 point defeat I know.  But Jesus it felt good to be actually in a game coming down the home straight against a decent outfit. Were never going to lord it.   But if we could compete with the next best.  That's me trying to be realistic!!  win ulster, Get by a round in Leinster.  Get through a round or two in the qualifiers.  The odd 1/4 final.

Aye we were in the game coming down the home straight until a certain someone got the line and wiped out any chance we had of getting a result.

Yawn     

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

To be fair SIE he did balls the thing up for us that day by his actions. He could be one of the best forwards in Ireland at county level but never shows it. His bad temper ruined it.
That said he seems to have matured a bit. Turning 30 will do that lol

[Seamroga in exile]

He also was the best Hurler on the field by a country mile that day and we wouldn't have been close if he hadn't have played. And like I've said on here before I'd have taken that red after what was said to him. The yawn was because this is old territory that has been walked on repeatedly ad nausium. Time some boys moved on and perhaps take a look at how their own hurlers let the county down this year with their childish, jealous behaviour.

He was hardly the best hurler on the field by a country mile. He was ours yes but there are a few cork boys who can hurl a bit you know...

Anyway we wouldn't have beat cork with or without him that day - just a few boys using a chance for a dig here.

There's no reason we can't be beating Offaly and Wexford and pushing towards the likes of Dublin. *if* everyone pulls together mind.

I did mean for Antrim. He got an all star nomination on the back of that performance, sent off and all.

I knew writing this what the 1st comment would be.  Kinda left myself open for it.   But anyhow.  Use get my point.

Christ had I've known this I'd have headed down, with a defib of course 

[Milltown Row2]

St Paul's will give Tir Na Og all they want, will be a close affair but I'm going for St Paul's.

Gorts seemed to have turned a corner lately but will not get it easy against a stubborn Biddies team, I'm going for the 2 shocks
