Shocking stuff here. Ballymena don't deserve promotion if that's the style of football they play. They've good players on their team and they're being made to play like that! Woeful.

Looks like Aghagallon didn't have much to worry about in the end

If Baker is getting paid clubmen in Ballymeana must be asking serious questions tonight

What you mean if ?
You think he's coming over for the craic and the view of slemish ?

[Mickey Linden]

Not sure if he has some ties to the club or whatever. With players they have should really being doing better

Good chippys in Ballymena and also a ice cream parlour. Maybe that's bringing him over.

Was close and cagey for first half but in truth it looked all ballymena were trying to do was be so so defensive to avoid getting humiliated. Once the penny drops that they were 4/5 down and never going to win as soon as they come out their shell they got a man sent off and got a proper pasting after that

Ballymena very disappointing tactics, 15 men behind the ball. Surely they have the players to try a more adventurous game plan.

Fair play to aghagallon, not easy turning out so soon after losing a championship final in extra time. Great character on display.

I actually feel sorry for those Ballymena players being made to play in that system. They've a few flyers and a few dangerous forwards but they serve up that crap. Baker shouting and roaring and giving out abuse doesn't help either. Dark ages stuff.

Glad we got that over and done with. We should never have been in that position in the first place.

Nah he's an outsider

[Sportacus]

Shambles of an attempt by Ballymena to get promoted.  Tactics were so negative. They need to go back to the drawing board.  Jim McGuinness stuff is a decade out of date.

Even when ballymena were goi no further behind they persisted with everyone behind ball and letting agahagallon pass it around the back with no pressure — poor poor showing

Ballymena out of ideas once down by 3.. wasted opportunity for them. Aghagallon grinded them down and first step of getting Sundays result out of the system. Wonder was scoreboard not on to save Ballymenas blushes 🙈

Also ciaran magennis should be up for an Antrim all star
