Antrim Hurling

[paddyjohn]

I wouldn't read too much in to the "resignation" spin.   I would say it was more of a jump before pushed situation.  If truth be told, the manager set the tone with his conduct even before the season started pre season at at training weekend.  Lost the respect of quite a few players as a result.  This is fact.

No point in dragging up more stories, the chap has left, been sacked whatever happened has happened. everybody knows the stories & rumours.

Why not when he was lorded as the man to turn things around in some quarters.

Knock yourself out then.. Spill the beans about what u know. I'm not arguing that he was the saviour in some quarters but what good would bringing up stuff do?

ARGUING WITH YOU
it's like playing chess with a pigeon; no matter how good you are at chess the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

You ranted for two years about the then hurling set up. All your suggestions came to fruition
Your a lost cause me thinks

The then manager was a joke. I stick by what I posted. Like I've told you ad nauseum I know what Ryan did. Like I also said before, you're obsessed and somewhat frightening with your devotion to him. And yes Kevin ryan was there for 3 years. PJ had more league wins in his short time in charge though. 

Both reigns are over. I'm moving on. I suggest you do. It'll be good for you.

Going forward I really hope today has been our dead cat bounce day

Feels like it

And the fuel that got us to this moment? A*a*h*

There you go again let's move on
This latest exchange was initiated by yourself today mentioning Kevin Ryan fans
What an idiotic statement
You got your dream set up and it's all gone up in smoke
and  stop repeating that I Know what he did last summer
You sound like a bad teen movie
You put up and shut up and we can move on

You must have some love in here......you don't defend yourself with a dirty Joe strike, am I clear on that?? No one will defend those actions, ever, that's simple enough for you to understand?? I would never defend the actions of our players doing same thing, end of......

I spoke to one lad who got red carded, he deserved it for his actions, job done!! Move on and stop defending the indefensible please

You are entitled to an opinion, but 'am I clear on that' and 'that's simple enough for you to understand' , please don't talk to anyone never mind me like that. You are just someone posting an opinion like the rest of us. Because you come from ng doesn't make you better, although that does seem to be the attitude at milltown. Talk to people not down to them.

Re the management the executive have a massive job on their hands. My view is that we don't throw the baby out with the bath water. We have the time for a new executive in cooperation with the clubs to conduct a root and branch review of hurling in antrim. Not just at senior level for there seems to be a lack of identity and structure permeating right down to the development squads. Lets also use Justin McCarthys knowledge whilst we can for some suggestions. Let the players go to the clubs. Let the u21s step up now and use train twice weekly and use c ring as build up for the u21. Gavan Duffy and Paul Graham should remain and get someone to oversee it be it Justin himself or perhaps Aidan Hamill or Seamus Elliott

Re the betting, Im angry as well and at one stage was for treating them akin to the Salem witches. But what I must say is that we have seen the damage  gambling addictions can have. Find out why these lads did it. Are they struggling etc and see can we get them help. Tyrone never turned their back on Cathal McCarron so my view would be to see if there are problems and then deal with it. Thoughts??

[NAG1]

Seriously are you for real?

[reddog]

Seriously are yout for real?

You don't have issue with me posting on antrim hurling now do you. its simply an opinion

[theskull1]

Didn't put you down as a liberal Reddog

As far as I'm aware CMcC didn't bet against his team. Do you want 'it's a knockout jokers' for these lads or what?

Not saying they mightnt need help but these behaviours can't be allowed to be given the by ball from an association point of view. A price needs to be paid if the values of the GAA is to continue to have any relevance in the way we support our communities.

The cathal McCarron situation is nothing even close to what went on with the antrim hurlers.

[paddyjohn]

The Antrim Hurlers can't be mentioned in the same way as Cathal McCarron.

Maybe is because of who is in involved RedDog wants it swept under the carpet. Those who are guilty should be suspended from both club and county.
