Assessor, you have brought a bit of bite to this board, however i would like to see how well you are linked to what happens in Antrim, look at the football thread its dying on its feet.

A lot of lads/lassies post on this board, however i feel the majority take the AL la carte approach, how dirty do most of you get your hands and really get involved at grass root level? What have you done to effect change?

thats pants Davinci and you know it. most of the lads here have or still involved with club coaching and other duties that keep their club going, others may have committie roles and county posts.

in Antrim change is slow due to the clubs looking to keep themselves happy and mainly not wanting to change things, take the rules away from the clubs, when a county excective is voted in let them change things for the better instead of letting football clubs vote on hurling issues and vice versa. change can only happen from within, the ulster Council will never help. so do it ourselves

Assessor you are a shit stirring nob jockey, who's only agenda is to ruin the standard of this board. It would appear that you are succeeding. They always say never to argue with a fool but it would appear that you've got your axe to grind and won't let it go. I'm not prepared to put up with it any longer.

I really cant say that I will be sorry to see you go, a chara! You can actually talk dyslexic . One down, but I have still some way to go. Remember, progress and change is inherently slow.

Lads, I come on here and debate issues with people who show others proper respect whilst posting on this board. Passionate views are all well and good as long as people are genuine and respectful as is a bit of banter. But when ever someone joins this board from day 1 and shows no respect for the other people who use it, then engages in a campaign of antagonising and trying to get the rise on the individuals who point this out to him, then there comes a point where it is difficult to stay calm in the face it. If it happened in the street it would warrant a slap in the mouth, so I don't see why I have to put up with it here.

That sounds to me like very threatening and agressive language. Now you are beginning to sound like the corner boy I thought you were. That sort of threatening talk in my view is more more aligned to others sports. Maybe you should go join the likes of a Cliftonville/Linfield site!

Hello Assessor can yourself and skull stop slagging eachother off, doing my head. Its a bit childish for two smart people. Man up and get over it - both of you

milltown row · October 05, 2008, 08:50:27 PM

just got a text from one of the seniors, Rasharkin spanked our senior team, ya couldn't make it up, fair play Rasharkin.

seniors missing a lot but fairs dues.

i was busy with the Endas beat also

think i'll rest my legs

Milltown - pretty poor result from your seniors in all honesty, even if they were missing a few. Injuries, avoiding injuries for the football, couldn't be arsed?

Rasharking are going to stay up (and fair play to them as they will probably just have beat what was put in front of them) because of wins against LD and St Galls, two teams who they arguably wouldn't get within ten points of if they had fielded. proper sides.
Glenravel are going to go down because of that reason as well.
Glenravel's whole year of training hard, travelling from North Antrim across the county has actually come down to two sides not fielding strong teams and Rasharkin getting the points to stay up.
I have no real connection with Glenravel but if I was on the end of that I'd be pretty gutted and feel a little bit cheated.

The debate about playing in the wind and rain of October/November will rage on but personally I don't mind it, it keeps me out of trouble and gets me out of the house but the main reasons I'm not a fan of the season dragging out is because of:
1. Teams who are safe putting out shells of sides;
2. Teams seeing what the wider picture is and 'gifting' a result;
3. and similarly teams not showing up for games.

Most of us will have suffered on the end of this or our clubs have partaken in it in some shape or form but its not an element of our winderful games that is exactly wonderful.

It may be a bit sad congradulating my own team, but i just want to say well done to our boys o thir promotion form div 4b. regardless of standard or expectations, we still had to do a job to get out of it and progress. hopefully we can carry on this good run to next year.

Lecale2 · October 06, 2008, 12:51:59 PM

Just for you Bredagh Gael86!

Tremendous display by Gort Na Mona yesterday. Great discipline and team work. This team should win Ulster and may go further.

RealSpiritof98 · October 06, 2008, 01:03:28 PM

Lecale, i was playin yesterday against Gort, they were awesome but to be fair to the gort manager he came in and said it was the best they had ever played.

Good to see Mc Collum still plugging away he was a great servant to Glenariffe when he joined us and is that big Allys baldy nut in the background?

Good to see that Bredagh are pushing strong and having some success.

This is why the Belfast Strategy must be delievered on soon, we need a seperate document to chart how we are going to lift the GAA up in Belfast espcially the hurling. We need this to be followed by a decent amount of money not to promote the games but to drive them forward modernise the clubs and make it a vibrant successful part of the GAA once again.

Glensman what can you do, we played lamhs week before football final and they fielded weakened team, understandably.
yesterday galls turned up late with fifteen men & karl stewart had to go off after 5 mins with blow to nose, never reappeared, galls played with 14 rest of match. galls played rightly until second half, they were 1 down at ht. they have bigger fish to fry and are sitting ok in hurling league.
to be fair, they fielded a handful of footballers, cj, ciaran ga-ga, sean burke, anto healy & karl stewart.
when we played lamhs they didnt play any footballers at all.
if only we had of scored 2 more last thursday night, when it mattered.

glenravel are on downward spiral in both codes, regelated in div2/3 hurling & bottom of div 2 in football.
