Antrim Hurling

[GalwayLassForLiam]

Lads I am curious to know what type of suspension Karl Stewart got after his red card v westmeath.

I hope antrim make it as far as the galway game and then loose a good competitive match

Its an absolute farce that the U21 games are being postponed, will we ever learn! 4 subs ensure that 56 other lads don't get competitive hurling, wouldn't happen in Cork or kilkenny FFS. The county ex should hang there heads in shame, suppose football rules ah.

Wha?

This is a joke. A schedule is posted, clubs work hard planning a way forward, all for nothing. The idea is to play U-21 C'ship over a short time period without Senior games getting in the way. What now? Who knows? Hard enough for dual clubs. Has this worked before to benefit the county team?

One match ban be back hopefully if we beat Laois. Was a dafty thing, coming on and was greeted was the customary shoulder charge he gave some afters and the fella dropped and Karl got a straight red.

Not clever and thats what happens

Winker playing midfield so far this year has been a great move. One I suggested early last year for antrim to the amusement of others on this thread. 

why the shamrocks haven't taken him out to midfield more often when he is being well marked is beyond me

the amount of times he has been smothered against cushendall, and then the big lift it gives them when they clear it away from him !!!!!

it is a good plan if he isn't doing the damage like he inevitably does sometimes

ie all Ireland final

I always thought that midfield was made for him, but a lad of the talent he has can change a game in blink of an eye up in around the square. I've a feeling him and Tony could be quite a combination in the middle.

Against better opposition would Winker be disciplined enough to mark his own man?

Same as Joe Canning the further away from the goals he is the better for opposition teams.

[johnneycool]

Joe normally comes out as a spare man rather than line out there, but agreed, the further away from goal he is the less damage he can do, but if he's standing in on the edge of the square and starved off the ball, what's the point as well, catch 22 situation.

Yeah that's the conundrum Galway especially find themselves in more often that not, but if I were them I would leave him at the edge of the square and everyone else's job is to get him the ball, plain and simple.

[imtommygunn]

Joe Canning can see passes that very few others on a pitch would see though so I don't think moving him out is such a bad thing for Galway.

Winker mainly a score taker so suspect maybe Loughiel would lose a bit if they move him out. They have plenty of other adept midfielders so were it not to work they can just switch him anyway.

[Milltown Row2]

Loughgiel have plenty forwards to pick from, Winker playing midfield can be a good option he's fit enough for it, he can run at players and create opportunities for other players. Loughgiel have plenty of talent and will only get beat by complacency or a shitty wet night when the other team has a cracking game.
