Don't know what wrong with you lads, Fury a paper Tiger, fought one good fighter who was near 40.Not 1 other in his 33 fights were of the top standard, Wilder been above average but couldn't actually box.

But they’re all the best in his era. Hard to compare eras. Mike Tyson fought some absolute shite fighters in his era too.

He’s on the radio doing interviews on talksport crying about how he isn’t respected . What has he done?

Him/his promoter have openly admitted he’s back to fight a few journeymen and get the confidence levels up.

He’s a big bag of sh*te with no mental toughness to be the best, I hope this Franklin dud knocks him out

Sick listening to him yapping. His best ever moment was beating an old man in klitschko and even that could have went either way

Think he was saying he always craved the respect of others but now is saying that won't be the case.

Of course he has mental toughness, in a hard sport and got to the top, don't do that if you are weak.  What has he done? Unified the heavyweight division and won a lot of fights until the recent losses. Don't think you could label his win over Klitschko as some crap win either, Fury is lauded for beating him not so long before that. Klitschko was in top form that night and looked good.  I also think he is due a tune-up fight - been in title fights since very early in his career, fought nearly all the top fighters too. Just compare his resume with Furys, night and day from when it comes to calibre of opponent.
Bang average boxer who Fury would eat for breakfast. Fury obviously not at the level of the greats of years gone by but he’s best around at the minute by a mile

Hardly average. Fury would definitely beat him though. Disagree with Furys standing with past fighters though, up there with any of them.
Totally overrated imo. Furys sheer size and the fact he’s an awkward f**ker to fight would probably give him a good chance hypothetically against anyone tbf.

Fury has outstanding boxing skills, especially for someone of his size.

There are a few here seem to be really against Andy McEntee. What's the deal here? If you are what were your expectations this year?
I like McEntee being our manager and expect more progress next season, just pointed out imo it was a poor enough league campaign when you look at the final table. We avoided relegation (not by much). I was at the Offaly and Cavan games but at none of the rest. Its all opinions and that's mine.

I thought staying in the divison at the start of the year was a main goal. Did people really expect Antrim to do any better than they did? A lot of inexperienced players are playing this year too.

Getting out of divison 2 won't be handy either! Not a whole pile coming through at underage either.
D2 will be easier next year with Dublin and Derry gone. Meath and Kildare are nothing special. Donegal need a rebuild. Louth and Cork are D2 level. Armagh should be able for Fermanagh and Cavan.

I could easily see Armagh losing 3 or 4 of those games the way they played this year.

I think it's been a better league that last year considering the manager had a lot less of the top players in the county to pick from. One really bad game but Antrim have been very competitive for the most part.

Got roped into refereeing an u16 girls friendly match last year. Never again. The yapping from the sideline would do your head in.  Longest hour of my life.

Was wondering how the heck LD could beat Cargin on their showing against us.

There is a new order in Antrim Club football, PG1 are top dogs

Antrim football is in an interesting place at the moment. What would you consider the current pecking order? For me come championship it would be:
1.   Cargin
2.   Creggan
3.   Aghagallon
4.   Portglenone
5.   St Endas
6.   Lamh Dhearg
7.   St Johns
8.   St Brigids
9.   St Galls
10.   Ahoghill
11.   Moneyglass
12.   Tir Na Nog

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Cargin and Creggan are still very much the teams to beat.

It’s Creggan and Cargin way out in front. Maybe PG1 3rd and then a whole load of clubs around the same level that potentially beat any of the teams on a given day.

Is colleges football taken more serious in Ulster? Is it as big a deal in other provinces as it is here.

When will the GAA integrate with the LGFA?
The numbers in the LGFA are huge and they need a place at the top table soon.

They don't want to join in many cases!!

Antrim should be looking at promotion if they could see out games ffs. Brilliant win. Still can’t get my head around big Ruairi McCann not being good enough for Edna McGinley’s team.
