Why would a team stop training before championship if the league has finished?

Think he is referring to one team already knocked out of the championship playing a team who may still be in it, in a dead rubber league game.

My bad...

Yeah need to enforce leagues getting cleared up before championship with the only potential exceptions being dead rubbers for both sides involved.  Far too much jiggery pokery has gone on down the years with the worst recent example being GNM and St Teresa's playing out a draw to ensure one promoted and the other avoids relegation.  Clubs should be made fulfil all fixtures unless there is a very good reason and a good reason is not some of the ones that have been used in the past from too many games to play across both codes, players going on holiday, stag parties etc etc etc all clubs get a list of fixtures at the beginning of the season and if they cannot work with this then suck it up.

First Post  - thoughts on Antrim chances against Sligo?

Wish them all the best but not hopeful at all

Murrays back?

We have a chance but like you I would not be deadly optimistic as games in the past where we have felt we have a chance we end up on the wrong end to about the tune of 6 pts as opposed to some of the games in qualifiers where we have been totally written off we have went out and won - last year or Galway a few years back for example.

Maybe best hope is if Sligo think they have a handy tie but I would doubt it.

[bannside]

Welcome LG.

I think we have a good chance. Expect it to be competitive and a point or two either way the most likely outcome. Hopefully we can come out the right side of the result. Good luck to all involved.

Sligo used 7 subs apparently.. grounds for appeal?

Has to be. Same thing happened last year with Armagh vs Laois, made them to replay game.

Back to Sligo this Saturday I would say
