Antrim Hurling

[hurlingstick]

Funny game alright. Dunloy looked sharp enough at times. Loughgiel have plenty to work on and quite a number to come back in yet.
Regarding the sending off, if you call the ref an Armoy c##t you deserve sent off.

The point is Nicky was pulled to the ground by the throat and no free was given. It was shocking and therefore I can totally understand his frustration.

You also understand you can't call the ref a cnut??

Of course you can't however players will naturally get frustrated when a referee misses a blatant and dangerous foul that the whole ground seen. Shamrock fans said it was a clear foul too.

Blatant and dangerous foul. Grabbing by the throat- what game were you at!  I didn't see any of that and I wasn't far away.

Yes, Nicky decided 'just for the Craic' to call the referee a cnut. It was a terrible foul on him thus the reaction.

We've all been tackled fouled and it was blatant but the ref decided not to blow, now consider how many times that happens in a game.... How many players then get up and call the ref a (insert club) cnut??

Was a dangerous tackle though ....round the throat. Ref missed it player reacted badly .....the game loses out as a result of two poor decisions.

Hey, that may be case and I haven't argued that...

I think you're being fair and i fully take your point. Players make mistakes, referees make mistakes. All part of our great game or poor game as it was tonight!! Shamrocks have a lot of work to do although it's early days yet.

Deserved a free
Deserved the line

I'm sure both referee and player are man enough to acknowledge the poor decisions made.

Struggled a man down in the second half and just did enough to hold on and get the win

Correct, exactly how I read it.

Funny that. You started this off by saying it was a terrible sending off.

You can't call the ref that
You could ask him what's his guide dog called at times like that

You're struggling to keep up here Brocky .....terrible in that if the ref had seen the original foul it would never have happened. It was born out of frustration.

Ha ha .....might be a yellow for that

We beat Rossa in Shaws Rd by 2 points, I wasn't there but it was supposed to be good tough game and we did well to take the points home. A Mate told me he was well impressed with Rossa who will stay in Div 1 for sure.

Don't think I'm struggling. Anyway I've made my point. You've made your point. Leave it that way.
Some shooting drills wouldn't go amiss at Loughgiel training.

St Galls have two lads on the hurling team kicking big balls for Antrim on Sunday Milltown?

Sounds fair to me. Their shooting was horrible first half and some of second. slightly better second half. The goal was a cracker especially the pass from Benny McCarry.

Sean and Conor Burke. Two great players. St. Galls have plenty of dual players.

We're bound to be favs now for the championship lol

was an odd enough game between ourselves and Loughgiel. Both teams looked flat at times and were guilty of both missing standard enough frees.

On the sending off the ref missed the foul and nicky reacted and got a red. cant argue with that. Thought the ref was grand overall, let the game flow and blew it up when it needed. A few handbags and he dealt with them all well with no bookings and let the game settle down again.

Decent win for ourselves and its brought a bit of confidence back to the camp. 4 wins on the trot has been a long time in coming and to beat Ballycran away and then Lgiel away, well its been a few years since we have done that.

Still a few to come back on again with Kevin McQuillian & shorty on recovery and woody had a slight knock as well. Add to that we have some great young minors who still arent in the team we have something to look forward to for once

[hurlingstick]

Think Brocky was the only man to not see the foul on Nicky. Nigel Elliott is a stylish operator, great to see him back fit and well. Equally so Benny McCarry. Few scuffles which Mark let go and I think rightly so. Shorty, Nigel, Benny, Saul, Clarkie, Eddie. .....imagine those six starting up front for the county? Pace and quality galore!!!!

Who was Lgiels no18 with the white helmet on? he was starting to torture us near the end and popped over some impressive points on the side line.
