Antrim Hurling

thats pants, the game is not till the 28th and they expect the clubs to do without their main players!!!! we played Gorts last night and won because our county player was playing on a different level.

the county team have a serious training programme laid out in prep for Galway, injuries i'm sure will come out of this

What was your game last night Milltown?

div2/3 league game

Well your game was different milltown and in those circumstances Karl had to play when the game was fixed. But I presume the clubs arranged the fixture? Obviously one of the reasons why the county has re-enforced the rule

not sure Skull, but it was in the county website from last week. very young Gorts team, still very light but plenty of promise. think the pitch is too small for hurling

Yet another smoke screen of why the team is so badly prepared, oh we couldnt organise meaningful training sessions.

They have had from october last year to organise enough sessions to be better than they were last sunday, maybe playing in a club game would actually help the county players realise what it is all about.

I am getting fed up to the back teeth with this BS we are being constantly fed by sambo and the good doctor.

In reference to SD yes of course the man is entitled to get married when he decides but if this is mid season then any manager worth his salt would be looking for a replacement. I can think of another guy who was constantly vilified on here for taking holidays during the year but dont think he ever missed an antrim match for one.

Look I wasn't criticising Sean D directly, I know he's a dedicated player and devoted to the cause but it just wouldn't happen in the counties serious about winning McCarthy. Players would never organise a wedding or holidays around June or July as its pretty evident that championship will be on this period. If they were restricted to this period due to their partner's and /or family commitments they would drop out of the panel for the year or forego the honeymoon until after championship. The latter is very common at this time of year in both codes.

Groundlie certain players are exempt from criticism !

Well lads another year, same old story. Theres no point in just going thro the old blame game. We are all to blame. Players, management, county board, clubs, underage coaching etc!! we are not producing enough quality players. We are all caught up in our own wee world only caring about winning as opposed to developing players. Our club as guilty as anyone. I fear for our lads next week. A seroius hammering in the horizon!

We got beat by glenaiffre last nite in Ulster league by point. Poor result but we were missing dd, neilly, johhny, ding, skinner, eddie, winker, napper, seamy dobbin. Life goes on. Championship is 6 weeks away.

We will have to pull out all the stops this year if we want to break our hoodoo. Feis has give us a big lift

milltown row · June 22, 2008, 01:25:27 PM

those players are never missing when we play yas

Championship against us you'll be fine, it'll be Dunloy you'll have to worry about

Fair play to the junior Johnnies who won division 2 of the Feile today in Laois, beating Portlaoise 2-9 to 1-1. In fact, all their games looked pretty comfortable going by the final score.

That's 2 wins out of 3 finals in a row for the Johnnies in Division 2. Is it time to go up into the big bad world of Division 1?

Minder · June 22, 2008, 09:05:35 PM

Was it their U-16s or U-14s competing. . . . . ?

Now, now. There's no need for that!!!

NAG · June 23, 2008, 02:02:19 PM

Cloot is right was it u14 or u16

It is time that the st johns club took a look at this issue it has totally tarnished their club in the eyes of hurling people all over the county province and country.

Time to take action, this win means nothing to the people of antrim because we dont know what has gone on in the back ground to achieve it.

Pity but true
