God help Antrim if indeed those sentiments as expressed by Hectic are shared by many in our beleagured county..

If you are going to spend your time pandering to kids dont come back complaining about their lack of work ethic and hunger, bad attitude and lack of respect for the opportunities afforded to them. Of course if money were no object you could look at all the advantages enjoyed by professional sportsmen but you would think the way some of you are going on that if guys are not fed by the county they would starve. Christ almighty I would say that if it is the lack of a free sandwich that is holding us back then God help Antrim. The bigger problem for me is that too many folk do not appreciate what they have in the GAA nor the effort to maintain it.

The point made was when at Tyrone the 17 squad did not get fed until after the minor game.....6pm which was a stew served by the Loughmacrory Club.....their game was on at 1.30 and was quite a wait from breakfast.
Was at Dunsilly to-day to watch our minor and u-17s against Fermanagh in very unfriendly conditions...... these lads giving up their Saturday but there were more spectators in attendance from Fermanagh.
County gear or support from the 'county' ....well did see our hard working PRO....

Yeah I suppose given it was a stew which you should really be able to serve as people are ready for it you would think it would not have beendifficult to get the u 17 team served earlier.

Have been labelled as a WUM, and although I have always found that an individual who does have an inflated ego and an immense sense of self worth is easy to 'wind up' that has never been my intent..... :)

Superb result at Corrigan and no small amount of character and spirit displayed to grind out the two points.

Had a pint in Heffrons Bar in Randalstown on the way home and another back in Portglenone and there were people in both bars who were at the match. The players and management have a lifeline now which may come down to our last game at home against Longford. We would all have settled for this a few weeks ago but since then we have beaten Sligo and Laois and gave previously unbeaten Louth their fill of it....so it looks like we arnt out of our depth at all in this division. Not that I'm surprised as I believe we have plenty of good footballers in the county

Fair play to all involved....Credit where it's due. Up the Saffrons.

Paddy Mc Aleer had some game today and so too Paddy Mc Bride. Peter Healy looking more comfortable with every outing as does Conor Hamill. Going to make for very interesting choices for starting berths with Kobo, James Laverty, Niall Delargy and Martin Johnston still in the mix for the last two games. Great to see genuine competition for starting places...this is exactly what we need.

We don't have many superstars in Antrim but we have plenty of good honest players who are proud to wear the jersey. For those who have gone awol for one reason or another I would say just keep on walking because the supporters are happier to see a jersey go to someone else who really wants it.
