Antrim Football Thread

It's a pity. Been a bit of a fallout with the camogie management too so hopefully that won't derail them too. All the ladies teams were flying too 

[NorthAntrim]

Any word on second year minors being allowed to play senior? Leagues are only a few weeks away and Antrim cant make a decision?

[AllStar15]

Also any word on fixtures? Nearly two weeks out from the proposed first game and we have no confirmed date schedule and no fixture list. Some handling!

Same most years. Does the change at the top, chairman etc impact this or are the people controlling fixtures stay year on year?

Managers dont know at the minute who they can/cannot use player wise. Players cannot plan their lives without a masters fixture list. Surely that is done by now?

I'm nearly sure its the Easter weekend and the football is the 10th of March..

Most hold ups are down to the clubs, they have to agree on things and then rubber stamped

These dates have been known for a few weeks

You should probably know the dates yourself? Easter weekend? Is it saturday or the sunday? Can you make plans with the wife on easter sunday yet? As far as im aware the u18 factor was discussed at the end of January and no decision made. Obviously a fixture headache for them but as far as i can hear almost every club is backing 18 year olds playing senior

[Round or stuffed]

as I understand it, only division 1 will begin on the 10th march, with division 2 and 3 pencilled for Saturday 23rd march

[JimStynes]

Antrim well organised as per usual!

Maybe its different nowadays being married and being a player... I just left the house on the morning of the game played it and came back, my wife wouldn't even know where I was going lol

Club came first, Easter was way down on my list

As I've said on here many times, the clubs are generally the ones who hold up the fixtures

Fair enough, release the fixtures week on week and we'll keep every weekend free. No need to book a holiday or a weeekend away...club comes first

This just randomly popped up on my social media. Antrim minor ladies playing tonight and of a panel of 29 there are 28 city and one glenavy. Something doesn't seem right there?

Fall out over the Minor Final last year being played on the same day Moneyglass Senior Ladies were playing in Ulster.

So the MG girls have left the panel this year.

Same goes for the Senior Ladies, apart from the O'Neill sisters who aren't available all the time as they have their studies to focus on this year so I believe will be dropping in and out.

All fair enough but unfortunate timing for the Senior Ladies after reaching Div 3 for the first time.

Although there is always a strong bias towards city players with underage squads in LGFA anyway.

It usually depends where the management team is from, sure Randalstown will be able to balance the books with the minor hurlers

Last few years yes. U17 games at 12. With senior games usually around 2/3. Reserve friday nights. Back to u18 now and no decision made if second year minors can play senior.

Whats the situation in Down

So when have the fixtures been released week on week?

It's a pastime sport, you don't get paid, if your wife wants you to go away for the weekend or book a holiday do it. Championship will be end August September time generally

Your Club Sec will give you all the answers

[Would ye whist]

I assume from this attitude you believe the woman's place is in the kitchen, you also head out in the morning hunting to put food on the table and if the wife dare question where you are going so will get put in her place! Things have changed since your time MR2 woman are allowed a wife too and men help out with children etc, however perhaps that's the problem with those who set the fixtures etc they are also stuck in the dark ages
