I think he is joking...

Yes, joking unfortunately. The future of Casement is in abeyance pending the outcome of appeal against incinerator judgement.

Antrim will be playing in the new Davitts Stadium for the next few years.   

ps. MR2 and Spike, if you guys are going to keep going at each other, get your own thread... 

MR2 and Spike has been the most exciting thing about Antrim Football in ages. Let them at it

Player in question has well documented history of striking on the pitch. Are the county board and Portglenone going to wait until someone doesnt get up before they act. I see bannside hasnt commented which would indicate how bad the fighting was.
We need these incidents stamped out of our game and the only way is for stronger punnishments on players and clubs. God forbid your son was on the wrong end of a vicious attack on the pitch, playing our amature games.

Is this a wind up?

What angelic club is this statement coming from?

It has to be a wind up. Every club in this county has had these incidents at their games. I think the dislike of certain members of the PG1 club are clouding the vision of some people on here.

A windup surely.  Track records of both clubs don't compare.

Yip...

All very quiet this week on the performance of the county team, some people have went as far to say it was one of the worst they've witnessed from an Antrim team, even through the days of Frank Dawson. Will we beat Offaly? Not the worst draw but I'm sure they are thinking the same of us.

What player?

I was at the match. One of the worst brawls I have seen a few casements men should be ashamed of there actions. There could have been some supporters seriously hurt if it wasn't for a couple of calm heads- it was a good hard hitting game until the end when both teams lost their discipline
As for Antrim we play Offaly a must win game in what has been a bitterly disappointing season

Funny enough I've spoken to both Casements and St Johns club men who were at the game. Not surprisingly both blame each other but also take portion of blame. I heard a few cars were damaged to.

The Antrim display on Saturday left a lot to be desired. Shocking poor and Chris Kerr was left out to dry.

Gutted by yesterday. Wanted to believe things had improved, wanted to believe the posters on here that the bargain bucket management team would be different...this time (after yet again choosing the cheapest manager)   Obviously hadnt. Basic tactical errors.  No joy in saying 'told you so' but.....

Radical work needs done in near future. That was a hiding.  Quality in that squad is desperate. Time to do the time honoured antrim tradition of parachuting in the stay away stars coz current panel severely lacking.

What stay away stars?

is the pulling of a faceguard a yellow or red card offence? I have noticed this year in club games it has been given as a yellow card offence however in intercounty games in previous years it has been a straight red

Its a red card, if seen by the ref

There's your problem! Thats very rarely seen by the people that matter unfortunately. It's very easy to say "I didn't see it"  If seen it most definitely isn't a yellow! IMO

But how can a ref see through a ruck of players to see it happen?

Don't feel Carson is fit for a full game better coming in off the bench. Good to see McNaughton starting brilliant player however Gérard Walsh should be starting imo one of the best in the county, that half forward line is scary if it gets time to hurl

The half forward line won't win much puc outs!

*many puc outs.

Good luck lads.

Lets get out and support our county on Saturday #BeThereAllTheWay #Saffs

Throw in 3PM , Corrigan Park.

so everyone bar the players PJ 

Sure there is a rumour that a few lads up around the city were partial to a few brown envelopes 

Clubs should be paying the refs a few quid aswell, maybe get decent ones then.

A quick Twitter search and you'll see. Somethings just can't be unseen.

We're you at the game Brendan?!? What were your thoughts?!?
What about yourself Minder?!! What trends are you seeing?!!  Constructive feedback from regular attenders is always part of a valuable  learning experience for everyone!

No I wasn't at the game. Didn't even know it was on until it was over.

There was plenty of notice on the Antrim Twitter page and Website.
