Antrim Hurling

[CitySlicker11]

Not just a southern thing, the person that acts first normally gets away with it as by the time anyone notices the man is only reacting and thats what the crowd and referees/umpires/linesmen see. Get your retaliation in first seems to work.

That's a sad reality. Your right happens up here to. But we have had some red cards at county level the last few years are we that dirty. It's time our boys learn to react when the time is right

He selects players for the panel. Hence he's a selector. Ryan manages the team, hence he's the manager. Not that hard to understand. 

If He isn't helping to select teams for matches he's not a selector. If he selects new panelist for Ryan to look at I would call him a scout. Main thing is he's helping so whatever he does it can't be a bad thing. Just think you have his title wrong

[CitySlicker11]

Are the only two trainers Ryan and O'Kane then?

[Seamroga in exile]

As far as I know dick does most of the training.

Less of the harshness towards Karl, how many on here can say they have put in what he as for Antrim. A great gifted player with a hot streak in him, not the first and not the last in Antrim. Well done to all the panel yesterday. Laois give Westmeath a good beating in the league final, could be tight enough away to them.

+1 if Karl has one problem he ain't cute enough when reacting to some plank pulling on him first. When it comes to southern umpires and linesmen they never see the original offender. Either they are better at it or they just don't like us.

Problem with that theory NAH is that nobody pulled but Karl. The defender put his shoulder into Karl as nearly every defender that has ever lived has done to a sub coming on and Karl grossly overreacted and swung round him. The defender then went down roaring (which was an overreaction itself as, while contact was undoubtedly made, he got the "middle" rather than the "end" of the stick). All this happened 5 yards from the linesman who saw both the initial incident and Karl's reaction.

While we might have grounds to be paranoid about how (some) refs treat us (I have one in particular in mind), the way this incident was dealt with wasn't one of them.

I stopped buying the IN years ago . Terrible reporters with an agenda.

Just back from lgiel v st. johns. Final score lgiel 2-11 St. John's 0-21.
St. John's near blew this one big time as they were playing well and 0-12 to 0-06 up at half time. Conceeded a goal in the first min of the second half and a very soft goal from a free.
Strangely a lot of people going down with cramp which I found odd.
Good game for a neutral to watch.

Sorry for hijacking the thread lads, can anyone tell me the full management team for Antrim senior hurlers? Cheers
Oh and sorry where they are from?

Nobody knows then?

[Milltown Row2]

Ryan, Dick O'Kane, PJ Mullan senior, and Jackie probably still doing the sticks

Who are selectors for loughgiel sie and do they select and not attend the games. Have no problem with pj senior,  just think he is not in the normal selectors role. Actually had put it down to poor health and If that was the case I wish him well. He Has been good servant for the county.

St. John's a superior outfit last night but nearly blew it. Hear big fellow nugent is only 5 th year. Should have left him at edge of square. Very impressed with the no 11. Also we sham at 10 showed great fight

was counting the selectors/management for each side last night. 8 for St. Johns and the same for Lgiel. bloody hell thats some people on a side line, and everyone seemed to be giving instructions. a bit weird.

was impressed with st johns in periods and in periods they looked poor. the number 11 for st johns had a good game, impressed with him. the number 8 for lgiel in midfield had a good game and fielded well throughout. tho the number 2 for lgiel seemed intent on getting sent off at times with his slapping off the ball and got his dues with that stupit block on him at the end and conceeded the important 4th point between the sides.
good game tho to watch
