Dublin was a poor one. But it was really a last 15 mins meltdown for whatever reason. Dublin are a very good side in saying that and a good bit ahead. We're going to need some of these younger lads really putting the hand up next year saying im ready to go here, but at the minute physically not senior intercounty level

From the doom and gloom about whos missing and injuries etc i think weve turned the season around well. With that amount missing im sure morale and training sessions dipped. But theyve dug out 2 wins and looked very good v galway until a couple of howlers from the officials. We got the rub of the green yesterday though. Id love Gleeson to go again

So why would you want to win the relegation semi final?

To play in a relegation final that if you lose you get relegated?

        

Omagh or Brewster wouldve been a lot better

Yes, they are competing very well. Shouldve been in place years ago

But failing to field in the reserve league as a result.

Hence my reference to everyone working together to get a joined up solution.

Loughgiel are probably the best blessed numbers wise. They have entered Div 2 as a result of limited games in res leagues over the years with (im guessing) other teams letting them down. The stronger reserve teams should play all county leagues in my opinion. The weaker play in the divisional leagues, north and south antrim and scrap these Reserve leagues

Don't disagree with your reasoning.

But then you get into a debate about whether they should play their D2 fixtures or their reserve fixtures when there is a clash and this results in other teams being let down.

I think a collective approach is required to sort this issue out.

Its probably a fixtures issue more than anything. ACHL on a sunday and reserve games on a monday. Do they need to be in both? Possibly not but then that affects the rest, lower number of teams if they dont enter. They also play NAJHL mainly on a thursday night

At the same time not too many teams can maybe get 20 lads out on a Sunday at the same time and different venues so Monday night only option for them. I dont think there is a right answer to be honest

Obviously the ref has either viewed it deliberate or accidental with excess force?

What was the sending off for? Wasnt at the game. Seemed to fall apart after it

Glenravel didn't look too bad last night. It's a pity they are so badly hampered with county men missing. Again, what is the point in a so called split season. It's killing club football for these lads

Any momentum possibly destroyed by being well represented at county. Hopefully with the playoffs they will all be available if thats where they end up

Wasnt at the game so relying on a good source

Cargin also scored a few late goals when the game was dead to put a gloss on the scoreline??

I was at it and your source has gave you a phoney account.
Listen I have seen many people comment on here within last 12 months about Bakers negative tactics, I commented something similar after watching them last night.
Ballymena scored their goal along with 3 or 4 points in the last 10 mins, Cargin were 7 points up at half time ended up scoring 6 goals, could have been 10. Just being honest.

I think it's the guy O Callaghan who has all saints playing the way they are,plus the older players in the squad seem to have a big say behind the scenes regarding the set up,not to many listen to what the Baker shouts which is mostly abuse

Are they allegedly playing well? I saw them tonight, fist passing the ball to eachother along the midfield line back and forward, barely ever kicking the ball and conceding every single kickout. If this is playing well I give up.

They've kicked 1-13 without kicking a ball and hand passing across the 65? Did mcnabb move the Cargin nets to the middle of the pitch or how did they score?

Legs are well and truely on the way out at 35+ which a good few Ahoghill lads are but fair play. And plenty of youth about too

If we can press in the forward line like Wexford did, force the galway defence into mistakes, theres no reason why we cant give them a game too.

Obviously Dublin first, cant wait to see if we've a bit about us or did we catch wexford on a very off day
