Beat before we start.

Beat before we start.

It's like O'Dee's ( no disrespect ) playing Cargin in championship

Armagh now div one O'dees div 3

You talk a lot of sense at times but your dislike for how Andy goes about his business definitely needs looked at

[imtommygunn]

If Antrim were to beat Armagh in the ulster championship it would probably be up there as one of the biggest shocks ever in the history of the ulster championship though. Is that not a fair assessment?

Would love to see a crack at division three promotion. Not sure if we are at that level but be very glad to be proven wrong.

On another note some interesting u21 results today. Wouldn't have expected St Paul's to be beaten by St John's or st Brigids by aghagallon. Unsure whether cargin glenravel a surprise but I suspect cargin missing a few too. The other game appeared to be off.

Would our 2025 Tailteann Cup champions Down be saying they havent a chance against Armagh 3 months before the season has started?

Of.course its a long long shot but we have to try. They were div 2 last year.

Im not Andys keeper. He is getting handsome remuneration to get results.
Time we started seeing some.  Hopefully thats the 2025 season.

I like the TC and the sooner there's a third tier the better, especially if some of these new rules are adopted.   We've slipped so far behind that the tiered system is best for the Antrims of this world.  Play and compete at your own level, and if you're good enough, you can progress up the ladder. The championship needs three tiers, not two - senior, intermediate and junior. Meath proved that two tiers isn't enough.
I can see no way for Antrim to get a foothold in the Ulster Championship. Underage teams battered every year etc.  Andy isn't an alchemist.

Newbridge just showed anything is possible.

But you need to believe in yourself first

[imtommygunn]

Not exactly the same though. They've been doing well in Derry for a few years now. They haven't come from nowhere.

Straw clutching at Olympic levels here today 

[Spike]

And we wonder why we dont win anything

[EOC1923]

Went and got the job done fair play to Newbridge, and that was a huge shock by the way

[Milltown Row2]

And we wonder why we dont win anything

Yeah it's got nothing to do with believing you can win, that'll only give you so much, the personal needs to be there and willing to put their shoulder to the wheel.

Club is king in Antrim, that's the mindset here

On a side note, who's managing Newbridge? 

[bannside]

Well done Kevin Brady. 👏

[Spike]

It really feels like you learned nothing from those years of succeas St Galls had.

Congratulations to Kevin Brady as well.  Making a management name for himself.

Good teams win, div3 teams don't beat all Ireland champions

Now if you are to continue with that then fine, but a dose of realism is ok every now and then

Was at Tir na Nog v Casements today under 21 and surprised to see that the Bannsiders had not a starting 15....
