Antrim Hurling

[theskull1]

I second that. theres not many who would do the work Gilly has done.

The man's a legend all over Ulster.

My father tells a story of a match from there early seventies Armoy v Mitchels up in the city somewhere. My Da was one umpire and Gilly was the other. Early in the match Mitchells had a 70 that was tailing off wide. Gilly promptly shouldered the post which lent out about two feet at the top bringing the ball on target, sort of  My Da had to lean against the other post for the remainder of the match. A real hurling man for a hell of a long time good luck to him hope he gets the award

An umpire in Belfast cheating against a North Antrim team ? Surely a first....... 

A North Antrim umpire cheating against another North Antrim team has of course never happened either

Well it has but i always found the chip eaters to be far more blatant............Against Gort Na Mona in the Falls Park always springs to mind.

Lamh Dhearg always used to have this old boy with glasses doing umpire,in football, and no matter how wide the ball was for Lamh Dhearg he would give a point.

I've seen him being sent off on numerous occassions.

It was embarassing - there'd be shots yards wide and he'd still give a point.

the worst has to be Gough from St Johns, he's their grounds man puts out the nets and flags  and has tea and biscuts ready at half time, but if he's doing umpire.........

top scorer bar McFaul every year

Many moons ago the brother of a well known glensman and bbc commentator (is that enough clues for you?) was easily the most blatantly biased umpire in the game. Stevie Wonder could see some of the decisions were wrong and on many occassion he was taken to task by goalkeepers, umpires and the whole full back line but he never flinched.

I think the father of a Ballycastle All Star and now coach to the down seniors was the worst i can remember, looking at the ref from under the peak of his hat even embarrassed the home town supporters, which is some feat. Totally agree about Gough from St Johns, he is blatant, I remember Mc Clean over ruling him 3 times in one half of a match in Cushendall a few years ago.

Another wee boost to Antrim hurling today with CPC's win in the All Ireland Colleges B semi final against Hosptital from Limerick. 1.11 to 0.10 was the final score but in truth CPC were never in too much bother but they just couldnt kill the game off. You cant say that too often about Antrim teams in All Ireland semi finals!

Beat by Carlow, what a shower.

[Two Hands FFS]

Shocking result.Promotion gone. Not beating Westmeath or Carlow is a disgrace.

[youngfella]

No excuses!  just a shocking result! Lads need to get their house in order and quickly

Going to the Lurig instead of training and leaving an abusive voice mail to a Mr. McNaughton.
