Antrim Hurling

Camogie and Hurling run by 2 different associations. Who collects the all important gate money?

Never really noticed anything wrong with Hasson. The odd free here or there for both teams which is I'm sure the usual for most referees.

Final on 25th Oct. No venue set yet.

Would it be beyond the powers that be to take it to Newry?

id say it will be there or maybe Armagh  (could be totally wrong though)

didnt have a problem with Hasson either, he could have played the advantage rule a bit better at times but overall done ok.

The ref in the Creggan game while being pretty rubbish, played the advantage rule a lot better

Did you honestly think he was poor? I thought he refereed it well and got all the main calls right.... advantage rule was very good on the occasions it was needed... The game was low in intensity so makes it soo much easier on the referees

Creggan need to up their intensity from the start... they came out thinking they were going to win but Burt gave them a good first half but had nowt on the bench to make a telling difference and Creggan moved up the gears in the final 10 minutes ... If they came out full on in the first half they could do damage.. always said they are a decent team and they are proving to be that

Talking to some of our lads today, they where happy enough with Eamon, I and the supporters around me never mentioned him much, so that says it all. Talking about the ref in my view only masks the poor performance of our lads, in particular the forwards who where, considering the supply of ball very poor. The goal could have stood alright, but he didn't give it!! The lack of conviction in going for ball is worrying and won't cut it against Slaughniel. We should've easily scored 3 more goals there was so much space it was a forwards dream, or should have been.
Shane was sharp and Young David tight in defending a tricky lad. Midletown had some fantastic hurlers who would make any of the Ulster teams, I was quite impressed with them.
Slaughneil will be(no disrespect to previous opposition) our hardest test to date but if giving 60 mins of hard work and a wee slice of luck we might take a victory out of Newry/Armagh.

Happy enough with a ref that gave us 1 free in half an hours championship hurling? You are easy pleased.

Seems most sensible C'dall folk are easy pleased then, unlike yourself

Eamon didnt do much wrong, we got most of the frees we deserved.

Would it be the case then in the second half that you were not fouled much?

[Hand up]

That would be exactly the case MR2. So far in this Championship has been the most consistent refs performances in years. Well for the more sensible supporters!! Just wait to UC start to roll out the Refs from last year and you will have something to complain about!! Are their any inter county Refs from Down?

Decy has quit a couple of years now so I'm not sure.... you'll probably get a Cavan or Donegal man

Not sure if Paul Branniff is intercounty or not. Might be someone from Donegal or Cavan as Milltown suggests who referee's Div4 hurling in the NHL.

seen the Sneil ones tweeting about wanting both games at the same venue but they have overlooked what you have said there that its two separate associations.

Both will want their own gate but the camogie would be happy to split that double header while the UC wouldn't want to.

Would make sense to have them as a double header for the supporters but sure when does the ulster council do sense when it comes to fixing matches and hurling venues

[Kickham csc]

Would it not be wise for the powers that be, to have a double header of the camogie and hurling for Slaughtneil's supporters sake? Preferably not Owenbeg as it is not really a Neutral venue since Derry teams are competing.

A double header in the Armagh Athletic Grounds or Newry would be perfect.

JC ... do you want to deal with that point? 

Taking it to Armagh would kill any chance of neutrals attending Id say

Are we as Antrim men seriously taking about Neutral venues??? I don't think that would go down well in other counties considering Casement Park's complete domination of Ulster finals for years.

The new Casement (if its ever built) will be a true neutral venue as it'll be owned and controlled by the Ulster council. Antrim intercounty teams will be lucky to get into it, let alone antrim club championship fixtures, so it'll be an even enough playing surface for all Ulster counties.

What's the story with Walsh then? Package not right or did he just swerve it?
