Fellas lets be honest. It is obvious to all involved that this thread has been started and has been maintained byt those who were not picked in the panel for various reasons. Of course management can get things wrong etc. and sometimes good players are left behind. I do not know enough about the current crop to make any comment on this particular panel. However you just seem like wee sour baked gits siting on a forum complaining about people who were picked or blaming management. If yas spent as much time in the falls park kicking balls over the bar then yas might have been picked in the first place or got called up. Try to get yourselves on via performances, not complaining on here and melting the whole forum. Wen our sean-paul never gat picked on the st pauls u16 team when he was a bit younger, he didn't sit and b*t*h about the manager. I had him out on st pauls pitch running sprints and picking up ball sna belting them over the bar. He was selected in the end, an achievement considering how young the lad was. I had the nephew out doing something constructive, not sitting on this here being a melt.

" PG1 had a tuff year last year maybe it was down to lack of experinece of the management team ha ha ha ha"

By PG1 i take it you mean Portglenone? They didn't have an overally 'tuff' year, considering they reached the Senior Championship final, only to be beaten (and beaten well) by the current All Ireland Semi Finalists and the favourites to win the All Ireland. I've heard of teams having 'tuffer' years...

and NO I'm not from Portglenone before you say it:)

i agree fully with what tits.magee has just said, but more importantly i was reading some of the other comments about the mccanns from cregan, and this i do not agree with, declan and conor are both very talented footballers, ive played against these 2 players on many occassions and have been very impressed with both of them, declan is a very talented goalkeeper that i think has been the convents 'keeper tight through from 1st year, if my memory serves me correctly during the d'alton final of 2005, he magnificantly saved a goal bound shot from a st pius' players in the last minute of the game to help st mary's win that game by 2/3 points, and also conor was known as the complete full back, untill this year i think he was moved out to midfield to further the convents ball winning skills in the midfield sector, i have seen a brilliant picture of conor in the paper against maghera ( i may be wrong) he is about 6 foot off the ground catching the ball above a 'maghera' player! i have played against this current crop of antrim players in a few games for the development squads, and i have yet to be impressed with the overall 15, except that no cregan players were playing in these squads!

macrory gael, it may interest you to know that declan mccann is not going for goalkeeper, and he is also quite a talent outfeild, however, he is still u17 and next year will no doubt play a big part in the minor team.
no-one has doubts over conor mccann's footballing ability either, he is a brilliant footballer no doubt

I was just reading earlier some were 'slagging' both mccanns off for lack of commitment and so on, i just wanted to make note the fact that they are extremely talented! ive never seen declan play outfield but i have heard that hes a good ball player which is evident from the times for the convent when he has to come out and look for a pass

MacRoryGael (Derry) - Posts: 13 - 28/02/2010 21:13:58    575506

yes, but you were saying it as though we were putting them down as footballers, some were just saying their commitment lies in other places

Who did portglenone beat to get to the final??? not exactly the best of teams and without a doubt st galls are a fine team and with outstanding players!!! but it is very easy for people to come on here and criticse managers on what they are doing wrong they may not get it right every single time but who does? and when they get it right does anybody come on and admit that they have no..becuase a lot of peolple are jealous maybe beacuse their son didnt make the team or watever.
My point is these four men along with their squad of about 30 or 35 are training 2-3 nights a week putting the effort in to make it a better team and are doing their bit for the county and are also doing club duties and the young boys are playing club and school hurling and football, if they wer not good enough they wouldnt have been selected for the role of managers simple as that?? those that are on here yapping bout damn all are probably those that stand on the sideline shouting and giving off to everybody and those people usually dont have a clue about GAA and players on the pitch from both teams are thinking about whos going to deck them first.
And at the end of the day to come on here and criticse the team is a bit childish i think a lot of yous are forgetting that these lads are still only 16,17,18 years of age and have done a lot more for their county than some grown men on here????

anyone hear of a Conor Scot who played for st galls under 14 level a few years ago?

"PG1 had a tough year last year maybe it was down to lack of experinece of the management team ha ha ha ha.. ". You are on here yapping about people criticising management teams, specifically the Antrim Managers, however you are still able to criticise Portglenone management? Slightly hypocrytical no?

And on the way to the final last year Portglenone beat Creggan and St Brigids, both who are very good teams and look the most likely to be the next to challenge the 'Big Two'

Aye you would say that matthew nelson as you are from creggan :)

smileyd123 (Antrim) - Posts: 55 - 01/03/2010 20:39:45    576488

It might seem like that but i am not yapping about any management especially not portglenone, as i do not care about them if i had a problem i would not say it over this. And also it was for harrypotter as i know him personally and i know why he has such a problem with this mangement team and i am not the only one ;).
But all that rubbish about being bias, seriously, if the manager was being bias there would be 10 players from ahoghill, 15 from lamh derg and 10 from eire og. so beng bias is not an excuse, if you or your son did not get on the team it is simply because he is not good enough FACT.

tits.magee (Antrim) - Posts: 57 - 02/03/2010 15:27:55    577091

Hes actually not on the management team, just helping out. Management team consists of Danny O'neill, franky fitzsimmons, Patrick Graffin and Sean McKenna. Get your facts right AntrimMan

antrimgael123 (Antrim) - Posts: 37 - 02/03/2010 15:32:03    577094

antrimgael 123, he cant possible put 15 from ahoghill because there poor, so why lie, his son is clearly on the team because he is his son fact! 10 from eire og there should be no eire og players on that team and 15 from lamb dhearg

slimey joe lets be honest, fionnbar is an excellent footballer, he's on it for his skill not his genes lad wise up
danny o'neill is not one to show biasness to his family, or club
