Replying To Therealnumer1: "Hi stools r not facts r facts portaferry hold a 2 ta 1 over ballycran this year but hi who cares its only a medal bricktop nobody died" that'll comfort you at your Dinner dance with an empty trophy cabinet yet again. (Edit Minor league) Will G Coffey get senior hurler of the year again? What's that old saying, leagues for playing and championship is for winning. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2458 - 31/10/2019 10:26:38 2246733 Link
Replying To ianog: "Dunloy are not yet out of ulster and by no means a cert they'll get their fill of it if think" Sounds strange but it will really depend on the pitch and the style of refereeing. Bog of a pitch and a referee that allows the spare arm tackle to go and S-Niel will make Dunloy work for their win as they'll try to impose a physical game on them which worked two years ago. Still think Dunloy will have too much but neither team will finish with a full complement. Club teams (barring Portaferry getting hammered) are never too far away in an AI club semi-final. S-Neill had Cuala right to the wire till their keeper had a mindfart, the Dall have gotten to the final very recently so a young, slick Dunloy won't be far away in their time but it won't be this year. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2458 - 31/10/2019 10:31:14 2246734 Link

They'll be writing songs and stuff about that great win over the hill. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2458 - 31/10/2019 14:08:52 2246805 Link

Replying To crannumber2: "Will u be continuing on for another year blocktop,keepin the bench warm and carrying vipers stick bag at half time" I might be sitting beside Paudie and Co come the NHL. Not much competition from the other clubs in that regard. You try keeping your younger brother on the field Mutley. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2458 - 01/11/2019 09:00:19 2246932 Link

Replying To RedDog68: "Still can't keep 15 players on the pitch" Reddog68 they don't seem to like a bit old style hurling that management team I heard bricktop never gave the referee a minute piece Therealnumer1 (Down) - Posts: 99 - 03/11/2019 15:37:24 2247405 Link

The standard of hurling, the refereeing and the tactics used today by portaferry were all poor and hard to watch at times The only good thing to look at was the Portaferry manager's legs. Mutley and Dennis didn't have a great first day at the office, but I'm told they're determined to make amends this Friday night. Worrying times for Ballycran if they need to make a few senior hurlers out of those players. downgael20 (Down) - Posts: 19 - 03/11/2019 17:42:40 2247442 Link

Have to agree poor enough game but it's was an exciting finish ballycran scored 90% of the scores from frees phelim probably there best player. What tactics you on about from Portaferry ?

Portaferry's number 12, if there'd be independent linesmen and umpires, he'd have got the line. No place for that rubbish. Especially when the target of his behaviour just wants to hurl downgael20 (Down) - Posts: 19 - 03/11/2019 19:17:45 2247480 Link
