Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

I was getting more and more angry listening to it.

Always the same, unionists wanting nationalist to make concession after concession yet never once will they match the gesture. The GAA doesn't need to change, its doesn't need unionist support, its doesn't need its approval.

[imtommygunn]

It's an irish organisation. It's ludicrous but another cheap stupid point scoring exercise from people who are nothing but bigots.

It is just a tit for tat for the "they're eroding our culture" paranoia to try and be smart and think they're doing the same.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

I never understand why people feel the need to want to change our organisation to pander to unionist politicians. The GAA is sucessfull within this island and is now selling itself around the world big time.

Even in England is it starting to get people watching it who have never seen it in their life before. They accept it as an Irish sport, and expression of Irish culture and everything that goes along with it.

Just look at stormont recently when someone put a tri-colour up in it for a laugh and they went into melt down and wanted a police inquiry to catch the ones responsible and charge them! lol shared space indeed.

Even Joey Barton loves hurling now

It's just unionists doing what they do best. Load of nonsense.

[Tony Baloney]

Why are people suggesting that Cushendall get a bye to the final? I thought they play the winner of Middletown/Lisbellew in the semi?

Apologies to Armagh and Fermanagh but still a bye in all but name. Slaughtneil to beat the Dall in the final.

[Aerlik]

Congratulations to Cushendall.

[Glentaisie]

Congratulations to Cushendall.

They  deserve a lot of credit for their Championship campaign.  Up against it in QF v St John's, SF v Loughgiel and in the Final against The Town and had the skill & determination to come through and win. 
Personally I'm terribly disappointed but I'm sure not as gutted as our players.  They put in a great shift and were very close.  The width of a crossbar maybe.

If Ballycastle can keep these boys together I'd certainly be looking forward with a lot of hope.

Great work again by the Dunloy club.

Don't see Slaughtneil getting to the Ulster final, never mind beating Cushendall. I expect Ballycran to get to the final and to come up short against Cushendall. The Dall are a much better team than they are being given credit for and won't be afflicted by complacency this year. Their second half recovery on Sunday was a marker for how good they can be. I think that they will prevail in Ulster and could Spring a surprise or two beyond that.

Don't underestimate any team come championship, did last year and last Sunday not teach us anything at all?

As for an All Ireland crown, time well tell!

"Forest, life is like a box if chocolates, you just dont know what your going to get".  In this case who?   S-neil or Cran dont view them as invincible opponents, thats fore sure. 

But I'm biased of course and referred to as a 'bitter one'.  Well' I prefer a realistic one, because history tells me so.

S-niel could surprise and impress just like last few years. Is such a statement volatile, provocative and offensive to some? Well, to the known few maybe!

Cushendall are decent but I don't think they're at the level that will challenge for AI or even a final. Hope I'm wrong mind...

I think they're a lot better this year mind with McCambridge coming on a lot in defense, Christy McNaughton becoming another viable scoring outlet and Magill returning to a bit more like his former self.

They will get it tight enough getting out of ulster. Ballycran and Slaughtneil will be interesting.

Now dont be biased ITG, that would never do now.  Some very sensitive idividuals about this world and likely to take such matters to a higher authority.

I will be interested to see how Ballycran fare against S'Neill next week. With Sneill playing in the Derry football final this weekend against Coleraine it could take it out of them.

A Ballycran v Cdall final would be a cracking game

Wilson still looking after Ballycran?

[Megaman]

again ignoring our resident board WUM lunatic.

especially after last year no one is looking any further than trying to win an Ulster.

No, he was foisted at the start of the year by a 10 man interview panel 

Stevie McAree and Hugh Gilmore are their management team at the minute.

Michael Ennis is out with a cruciate injury. He's a big loss to them.
