There are things that are wrong but may not be the subject of GAA disciplinary procedures. They are wrong because they cause real hurt and suffering. That hurt and suffering will not be eased because there is no case to answer. Trying to help people out and through this is critical. And the hurt of comments or whatever can spiral and radiate out to involve and hurt others. I think there is a duty of care here- because the emotional turmoil could lead to actions that no one ; no one wants. The GAA should avail of professional expertise to address serious issues pertaining to personal health and well being in specific situations.
No need to post this - just a thought to maybe trigger something to ease the hurt of all concerned?

Is there a full set of div1 fixtures on Wednesday night?

I see there are some wemen in Waterford blaming the County Board and the referee! I thought we were the only ones allowed to do that!

Three Players on the GAA team of the week: Ryan Murray, Conor Murray And Chris Kerr!
Superb!

St. Galls won....Senior Footballers won....

Imagine the reaction if both teams had lost!

The biggest problem we have with regards fixtures in this county is too much democracy. Fixtures committee should have instructed both clubs that this date was unacceptable and instructed them to find another.

Too often in the past have we heard the line 'clubs want games'. Well the good of the county must come first sometimes and it is up to the elected officials to stand up for that. Abdicating responsibility for fixtures helps no one.

Can't agree with the admins defence of the situation at the weekend. In order for a game to be refixed BOTH teams have to agree to a new time/date. If one club perceive they will have an advantage by forcing the other club in to a time/date that's not suitable then invariably they will. In circumstances like these the decision must be taken out of the clubs hands and the county should appoint a suitable time/date. Until the country start fully appreciating the predicament dual clubs and dual players find themselves in on a regular basis, they won't get the backing they should from dual clubs/players. GAA does not exist without the club.

I wonder if all the people who complain steadily about Casement and Dunsilly are signed up to club Aontroma, this was set up to help provide funds for county teams ect, more people than ever are pulling out of their £10 monthly. It seems we want everything in Antrim but not prepared to pay for it.

Fermanagh Again?

Didnt know we could get them again but apparently so? Chance for revenge..

The criticism of referees, the criticism of players, criticism of managers, criticism of County Board and it goes on and on ..
And it goes beyond criticism into vile abuse - yes Abuse. This criticism says a lot about us as a society. Now it carries on into social media. Where do we get our values from; our principles and what do we want to pass on ? There are principles and values worth hanging onto and worth handing on - maybe time for us within GAA to reflect on where we are. It seems that most of what is laudable about and around Feile disappears with that great occasion. And in Antrim sometimes we wonder why our grounds and games aren't attracting more people'? An environment where attack on people, self centredness, self opinionated becomes accepted is not a healthy one.

Could you please give an update on the dunsilly & casement situations please. Hopefully positive outcomes on both.

Antrim is a joke imagine 3 of our so called best players having to choose club over county,the club is the most important thing we have in the GAA also divisional boards have to go we have to streamline all these boards for the benifit of all antrim gaa members both hurling and football
