Any refs on here lads looking a game in belfast on sunday?

Interesting posts, I think everyone knows that even ourselves have taken into appointing outside managers for the last few years and it has reaped serious dividends for us, its ok having plenty of mentors/coaches/juveniles but what if you dont??? Our senior team had to get by for the best part of 15 years with very little kids coming through, alot of our players had never been coached properly before so we were stuck in the doldrums as a result. 2 years ago we brought in an outside manager and in 2 years we contested a beringer cup final and a championship final, last year with another outside manager we won the championship and beat teams in the league we would have never imagined beating 5 years previous.

Having outside managers has showed us how far we were behind and it has give us the kick up the backside we've needed for so long, watching from the sidelines I feel indebted to the 2 managers who have came in and progressed us so quickly in 3 years, as regards to if they were paid or not i couldnt tell you, im only a spectator!

But outside managers arent all that bad!

If it was up to me mac, 10 team div1 12 team div2 with last years relegated teams staying up and endas & paddies still going up. And then the rest into div3. If they want to keep div4 they will have to flood it with second teams who cant gain promotion, which would be counter productive as well. Only way it can be done as far as i can see!

I have no idea of the details of the restructure, i remember reading somewhere its a minimum of 14 games to be played for a league season so i would imagine if that cant be fulfilled then something would have to be done about it. On the convention point technically there would have to be a motion put forward however if the aforementioned point of minimum games is not fulfilled i think the county can basically do whatever they want, all should become clear after 19th january when the competition entries are processed

I agree mac any time we have played the ballycastle lads up there they have always given a good account of themselves. As regards to the divisions i would prefer to see a larger div2 and div3. Does nobody any good yoyoing up and down leagues all the time. But again as I have already said its a complete guessing game as to what will happen! It seems a sensible course of action all the same

if they did make a bigger div 2/3 it would also save the mess regarding Aghagallon going down. No relegation from div 2 and all remaining teams make up div 3, not rocket science but then again it is Antrim...

Just found out there this evening that we will be remaining in div3 therefore league restructuring is on the horizon lads!

I am not entirely sure SaffronHeart, speculation is that Ballycastle & Mitchels are withdrawing from ACFL, Naomh Una and Con Magees will not be fielding 2nd team next season, which leaves just Lisburn and Pearses. Leaves alot to the imagination, but as i say its just pure speculation, havn't a clue what will happen
