Antrim Hurling

[btdtgtt]

As regards the loughgiel boys:

1) it would have been preferable for the loughgiel boys to attend particularly as its a new manager
2) however they are on a break and not currently part of the panel for obvious reasons - so can't be punished as such for not attending

What is of greater concern to me is that there are seemingly many other who didn't attend and do not have such a reason!
Kevin Ryan I don't think can be blamed on this!

And what about the other players from other clubs that didn't turn up nag? Why are you and your fellow Dall man shy in mentioning them?

maybe when they return to the fold they might get a pass given to them this time.

Antrim Hurling never fails to mess about

the shamrock brigade should show to a meeting and Ryan discuss his plans.  thats a given i think.  the loughgiel boys off course shouldn't be asked to do anything else in that regards until they finish with the shamrocks.  if they are on a break at the minute then even better for them to make meeting

for the rest a bit of a disgrace.  however all those players i hope were properly informed about attending and contacted as opposed to seeing name on a list somewhere, even if it is through thier secretary in the club

not sure about mighty sambo and his involvement, please tell me he isn't on panel

For what its worth lads, the Loughgiel players were excused from attending the meeting and training by K. Ryan himself. He met the Loughgiel lads in Loughgiel on another date.

But why let the facts get in the way of a newspaper article or rumour mongering, eh?

no problem then from loughgiel brigade.  who were the lads that didn't turn up ?/

was going to say name them, did this thing not happen before lads didn't show up and were named

one things for sure Kevin Ryan must be thinking we are some lot

the good thing is then SIE we might finally have to go with the full sham 15 for the county and it will settle a few old arguments that have been on this board

reckon you should write in and let The Ulster Hurler of the Century KNOW, i'm sure it would give you a little satisfaction

Now if he said that or done that why did you not come out and say that at the start of the thread?

[btdtgtt]

Is sambo involved in the county set up again?
Really?
Surely not?
It cannot be?
Not even in Antrim?

I don't think anyone knows yet, if they do they're keeping it quiet. We haven't heard anything.

Can only assume he doesn't plan to be in the country next year??

Dunno, story is due to be in Irish News tomorrow, saw it on their Twitter feed there.

I heard he was unhappy at how things were handled during his suspension this year..although not 100% sure on that

[btdtgtt]

Know his club manager well - he has issues with county board not settled since last year and is a massive club man. Ballycastle expect him to hurl all season for them not going abroad.
I would not be surprised if he joined the county set up at a later date however.

I heard shorty didn't show either. Both he and hippy would be a big loss for the county.

The word I have is that both will not be joining the squad and will be playing for their clubs.
