Like Biff in Back To The Future II can we take back all the sports results or tell ourselves to throw money into Apple stocks?
So if you had 3 attempts to travel back in time, with these three options below
- Go back and have a word with yourself- What would you say?
- To witness a great/infamous event, be it your own or other event (give reasons)
- To change something, but beyond your DOB and reasons

So in theory, Antrim could make it all the way to the final which is 13th July. This would mean that there would be a good handful of players that won't have kicked a single league ball for their clubs over 15 games? Is this correct? And potentially may only get a couple of championship group games if their club doesn't progress? Jesus Christ the system is well and truly broken.
In successful counties that was/is common enough over the years with the various different formats they used.
So do we want a successful county team or a successful club team?
If a club player believes they can win an All Ireland with their club over the county then they might throw their lot behind the club. Antrim for whatever reason, club is king
Is it? One obvious club possibly but the remainder get behind the Saffs surely?
Do we though? Do we really commit to what's needed at the top table? Or do we collectively not have good footballers?
Because if we do have good footballers then we need to get them up to that level of physical fitness that we see from teams at Div 1. Seeing lads from other counties coming off the pitch in regards to ours is night and day.
Gone are the days of the stylish but light footballers, that we had many of in the past, that just doesn't count anymore. Size strength are up their with skill and application
The problem is it takes a good few years to develop a player into that type, sticking to it, is very hard.
I would agree that physically we are not up to it. We have a big side at the moment but limited with their skills. the challenge is to get our most talented footballers physically competitive.

Quote from: burdizzo on May 14, 2024, 12:14:15 PMYeah, exactly. When are the Guards and politicians going to stop harassing local populations by forcibly planting hundreds of unvetted men from completely different cultures into peaceful communities?

Seems a few moany Tyronies are a bit touchy about Saint Sean being called out on his nonsense.
He was caught out spouting BS and has now doubled down on it.
Burns perfectly right to slap him down.
Really strange misstep for someone working in the financial industry.
He probably didn't expect to get pulled on it so quickly and publically by Burns who seems to be setting his stall out early doors in the press.
He gave William Crawley his fill of it on Radio Ulster Talkback a few weeks back as well.

Yeah, seems totally mad. Antrim start their leagues very early in comparison to other counties. Maybe the solution is to start the leagues later?
That would be the obvious thing to do. Div 1 League is basically just a friendly competition at the minute. Any Div 2 or 3 team with a few county players would be at a massive disadvantage for their league. The difference in getting promoted and not!
Quote from: John Martin on May 14, 2024, 11:55:27 AMA ref once told me that a goalkeeper from a kickout can kick it more than once. So technically the keeper could just dribble the ball soccer style up the field from a kickout but he is not allowed to lift it.
Any of the resident referees able to confirm this?

Quote from: Cavan19 on May 14, 2024, 09:50:15 AM1.5 When the ball has not been caught, it may be bounced more than once in succession
I would love to see some lad dribbling basketball style up the field and burying the ball into the back of the net.

I've never seen a goalie give away a penalty before for a technical foul.
