The only disrespect being shown by the two managers this week is by your manger with his smartarse comments about the Kerry support.

He's got a point though. How many Kerry fans will make the journey up? Will they out number the Antrim fans?

Although I still believe that Baker should be made Pope, I agree with Mike. There was no need for Baker's comment about the Kerry support. It was out of order. It was an unnecessary, cheap dig and probably* a load of bollix. How many Antrim fans were in Ballybofey? Imagine Antrim slagging Kerry about their attendances...... Concentrate on the football, Liam, we're playing Kerry ffs.

*I have no idea if it is bollix or not but I would imagine it is. Baker has probably added to the numbers travelling from Kerry.

in all fairness hardstation he really should shut up, i can see why paddy (probably the best foward in ireland) might be a bit of a nut now..... as the saying goes 'whats the kitten got but the cats walk'

Why was it moved forward to 2pm on Sunday?

Rocky Mc Guigan · July 23, 2009, 11:05:34 PM

Cheap shot- he doesn't have the kudos yet to be making such remarks no matter how true they are

magickingdom · July 23, 2009, 11:17:08 PM

maybe i was unfair about paddy but his jumping in and out of 'retirement' a few weeks ago was odd

I have no idea what happened there though. Never underestimate the Derry rumour-mill.

or the kerry one at the minute!

Archie Mitchell · July 23, 2009, 11:23:19 PM

So what big Kerry players wont be playing this weekend if the rumours are true. Gooch? Dara O'Se?

I think Bradley's comments were calculated (if somewhat or grossly unfair): the righteous indignation from certain quarters only serves to galvanise the team and fosters an 'us against them' and "up and at 'em" mentality within the team, and that's what Antrim will need buckets of in Tullamore on Sunday.

fear, what antrim should have done was kept it low key and concentrate on the football. throw up another 15 points and you never know what might happen

True mk, though I think he would have gauged who has more to lose, the Kingdom or themselves. The fixtures committee have outdone themselves once more with the Provincial Final losers having to go out again 6 or 7 days later (talk about regression!), and as well aware as he is of the abysmal record of the losing finalists in the subsequent qualifying rounds, he was attempting to inject something more than the usual. Would agree with the sentiments of Tommy Lyons, and on how he has talked solid sense for once, in his suggestion that the losing finalists should at least have home advantage, as reward for their relative progress.
