Antrim Football Thread

[Milltown Row2]

Saffron Gael has just completed a trawl through all the club managements for the coming season. St Galls taking things seriously two lough shore men involved in a SIX man management team. Six men picking a team....that could be fun. Big Sean Fleming going to get plenty of advice too. Six at Rossa?as well!

Serious question though. Does anyone know exactly who is allowed inside the wire. Eg are all six allowed??

Paddy is his own man, he'll be picking his team

[bannside]

Cant see those two Lough Shore men there as Yes men MR2, I'd be surprised if that arrangement sticks for the season...unless of course they are being nicely remunerated to take the coaching and leave the big decisions to the gang of four. Anyways good luck with it, every club does what it thinks is best.

BS did it name who these two loughshore men were? I think you have a point on the number of coaches/management team that are allowed within the wire. St.Johns have been notorious for having 6-8 men along the 2 lines all encroaching the field and taking turns at having a go at  refs or opposition players. Would think even in terms of safety that the county board and refs need to make it clear the number of selectors/ coaches  that are allowed along the line before throw in. For instance, if a brawl were to start, which wouldnt be anything out of the ordinary with the likes of Casements, Johnnies, LD or Aghagallon, then id be concerned with the amount of bodies in and around that line.

[bannside]

Question to MR2 as he is our onboard refereeing cognoscenti. Who exactly is allowed inside the line. I'd have thought manager, assistant manager, physio, a designated linesman, and the club secretary or his representative to write out subs etc. That's 5. But no exaggeration I saw matches last year with a dozen or more inside. What's the ruling and what is the penalty for infringement, and have any penalties actually been enforced?

[BrendanAntrim]

The Antrim v Derry U 20 match is now on Friday night at the Dub. Thats a great venue for it and hopefully a decent crowd shows up to support our young players. It could be a cracking match too.

from when i was with our senior hurlers you were allowed the manager (Bainisteoir), then a runner, (Maor Fóirne) a doctor/physio and thress stickmen/water (Maoir Uisce ) which amounted to 6 plus other selectors. the only ones allowed on the pitch were the Maor Fóirne and the stickmen (2 for football and 3 for hurling)

you can have more selectors but they are supposed to be in the sub bench area and cant leave it.

championship games they are supposed to be strict about this but league it seems much looser.

To the best of my knowledge you can have.

Bainisteoir (Cannot enter the field of play)
Maor Foirne (Can enter the field of play after a score/wide of during a serious injury)
2 x Maor Uisce (Football permits 2 they must be stationed on the 45 at opposite sides of the pitch they should not enter the field)
Doctor
Physio
Club Secretary

Clubs can manipulate this by filling the Doctor and Club secretary roles with selectors and the same with Maor Uisces staying around the bench area rather than the designated areas. Generally in my experience it isn't enforced at Antrim championship games

You are spot on 7 is supposed to be the number

The problem with Antrim as with all counties is that there are far too many ego's on the line who will not listen to any officials. I have witnessed linesman getting dogs abuse for merely trying to get the line clear so they can see/run up and down. sooner the better the CB start to hand out fines

[Ernesto]

A team could have 10-15 subs on any given day on top of all that.

Is the issue the number; or the behaviour?

[Points a Good Score]

Panels should be limited to 24, again we know this isn't enforced.

[Ernesto]

It's a panel of 30 for club level though, in Rule.

[Rodger Mona]

Is the issue the number; or the behaviour?

The number of subs are irrelevant as they shouldnt be on the pitch. The coaches/ men on the line are the ones who are entitled to cross the line to treat players or for instruction. Obviously the reason this was brought up was because some clubs are taking full advantage of a very unclear rule on who should be allowed in

[imtommygunn]

Bs what is this sacrilege of a hurling match at Portglenone
