It's a tough game this one. I would worry we lack a bit of pace in the FB line and Offaly could do some damage there. We were far too good for westmeath tbh and this will probably be a better gauge of where we are. In a perfect world that'll be the same again but I think Offaly will be a much tougher nut to crack.

I think they might wait to the final for that though.

Sounds like something Jamie Bryson would do if the boot were on the other foot.

Ref was poor enough at times but in reality we were guilty of pulling and dragging too much in the FB line. I think definitely once and maybe twice twice they might have started it but definitely hand on the back and dragging we would need to cut down on or be smarter on. Westmeath always kept the arm in when in the tackle but sure most teams do that at that level. They should have had more yellows and had a boy or two walking a tightrope towards the end but that didn't happen. Also the linesman flagged the ref who seemed to ignore him or didn't know he'd flagged and then things moved on when a boy should have been booked.

Ref wasn't fantastic but I've seen a lot worse to.

I can't remember the case but I think this came up before in a case. I can't for the life of me recall what it was but I thought the same questions were asked and unofficial footage was used.

Quote from: gallsman on February 02, 2025, 10:16:00 AMThere is almost zero evidence of companies becoming less competitive or workers being less productive since working from home became a thing. It's actually gone the other way. Shorter breaks, people struggling to turn off in the evening, an expectation that you're always available etc.

Obviously some people will take the piss.

Sometimes I wonder has it exposed the inefficiencies in org structures in a lot of companies and the fact there are too many layers of middle management who have a lot less they can do if everyone is WFH. This is then a push back from that.

We were very comfortable but the concerns would be we weren't ruthless enough and we switched off for periods of the game. Definitely could, and probably should, have won by a lot more.

I would say there are bigger challenges ahead with Offaly, Carlow and Laois. Waterford will be a bonus game which would have been easier had Carlow not beat them. Really this division is better for us than just trying to take a few scalps here or there.

Podge you are right that beating WM is not to be scoffed at. We've been done by them quite a few times so to beat them, and beat them pretty comfortably, is pleasing.

Comfortable win today against a Westmeath team who were in truth poor. We should have won by a bit more.

Most players put in a shift tbf. Bohill got on some amount of ball as did O'Connor. Not sure who I would put motm - maybe Nigel Elliot?

Hard to know what to make thus far with Davy but definitely our approach seemed to be more acurate short ball than longer balls into the ff line.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 02, 2025, 12:45:40 PMManagers shouldn't have to 'seek' players out, players should make themselves available, it's a privilege in any other county but Antrim to represent it.



For once we agree. It should be every young players dream to wear the saffron

These lads are volunteers too and it's a big sacrifice for you and your family to give all that time up to play intercounty so wind it in a bit lads.

Yeah it's a massive time commitment and is entirely voluntary. McEntee also runs it so that they won't be playing club so fringe players committing a lot of time to ultimately not be playing football is a big ask. That's not a criticism of him - it's how the county game is these days but it is nearly new to Antrim.

Disappointed on the result today. Home against Leitrim must win.

Winning that would have set us up well and been a kick in the teeth for Fermanagh. Oh well

Looks like beat today   :(

Tough division as expected.

I think that stat may include West Ham and man united too. I don't think Everton have beaten Liverpool 6 times under him.

Quote from: imtommygunn on February 02, 2025, 08:56:49 AMHow many are available for selection?
Available for selection. Now what does that even mean? If a manager showed any interest in a player they would be there.
I could name a list of 10 top quality players who have been instrumental in Cargins recent success, all under the age of 25, but I won't waste my time, do your own research. 


That is a bs response.

I asked an objective question and I am not getting at anyone here. I would love to see more cargin men there as I support the county.

McEntee is from Meath. I just don't see how he would have a "pick" on any club.
