The Gaelfast official twitter bio says it's pioneering initiative to re-ignite enthusiasm and involvement in the GAA in Belfast and Antrim.

Surely Glenarm deserve something to? Let's not make a country/city split over this, sure if it benefits the whole county then it's a good thing is it not?

Sure all refs are cheats and are blind.

I remember heading to Falls park one night to ref a game, beautiful Sunday evening it was. Nobody there at all. Both teams had contacted the county but the county didn't bother to tell me, went to Feystown straight from work in Derry City on a Friday night, same story.

I admire lads who give up their time to ref our games and officiate in any capacity like umpire.

if car is parked and warming up its possible to smell fumes, it doesnt even have to be in traffic....i hate thoughts of it tbh

Could be an injector problem to. is it a 1.6 diesel?

St Endas V Sarsfields next weekend should be a good game, come the end of the season if fancy these two for the top positions

A lot of bad blood between these two teams lately, should be interesting

Hopefully we get a decent ref for the game.

County struggling with refs, so more the merrier please.

I'm on duty on both Saturday and Sunday.

St Paul's have been struggling at senior football for a number of years so no big surprise to me. With their recently departed chairman in charge of AllAntrimFast they will surely get some help there !

Surely a few extra quid from those wealthy culchies running a camp in Dunloy will help? I'm assuming any money raised will go to Gaelfast?

Had a great time with the wee lad on Saturday up at the game. Brilliant day.

Must admit, it was a completely different experience being there with a kid and not on a supporters bus....enjoyed it a lot more, more of a pure joy and enjoyment of the game.

The amount of parents with young kids in our section (not the kids zone),was a real pleasure to see, mothers with young daughters,  dads with sons and daughters , and in them you could see the a real connection with the club.

My plane touched down at 10:30, got a taxi over to CP, with a Celtic supporter driver, who took us on a quick "drive by" of Ibrox to show my lad where Rangers played. My son hadn't a clue what the driver was saying, so that was his first real experience of Glasgow.

When we arrived, walked up to the tour door and paid for a tour which started at 11:00. My wee lad loved it. Walking out the tunnel etc, and spend the rest of the day humming "for its a grand ..."

Then we saw the teams arrive and went into the stadium early to soak up the atmosphere.

The game it's self, I didn't think Celtic were very defensive.  They were pushing forward and were attacking minded, but... it was stale football and Celtic weren't as dynamic as I would have liked.

Tierney looked heavy legged, and some of the other players gave you the impression that they were playing on the end of a very long season.

Weah and Burke added a bit of spark when the came on, and only Ajer, Forrest, Rogić, and Christie caught the eye.

From a green brigade point of view, they definitely add a bit of atmosphere, but do they prevent stadium wide singing of Celtic Songs? There was no YNWA before the game and only briefly was the 'Fields' and 'For it's a grant old..' sung by the stadium other than the GB.

Anyway, the lad loved the day which was the main objective, and Up the Hoops

Super stuff pal. Defo brings back memories

Was enjoyable match but Wouldn't have expected anything else.  Taking players from other clubs and hoping they gel really only works for Pepp.   :) imo

What other clubs?

Flying into Glasgow tomorrow, bringing my son to his first Celtic Game.

Arriving at 10:30, any tips what to do before the game with the wee lad.

Hit the Gallowgate, few scoops and then up to Turnstiles. lol

Make sure a take a pic of his reaction when he sees the ground, I did the same with my nephew when I took him to his first game, memories that will last forever.

Enjoy
