Sorry, I was still ranting on with Hand up!

But in relation to meaningfull games, all clubs should take seriously all their games in the league as it should reflect come championship if there is seedings (which I thought there was at a time lately)

the teams should also not be allowed to cancel games when they are missing county players. its something ive always disagreed with that teams wont play minus their county lads.

are we going to have to endure this again this season with a long break of no games?
hurl like f**k boi!

So if a team have 5/6 players at the county they should still have to field and potentially not qualify for the top 5? How many matches are acceptable to play without county players?

I have to disagree. They are club players, they don't belong to the county.

affects my own club. we have 7 on the panel and id be more than happy to play games without them. thats what your reserves and panel is for is it not? or is the fear of trying to give others the chance to great for some teams?

and what is qualifying for the top 5 going to do for anyone? other than miss a potential gate

That's all well and good for a big parish and big club like Dunloy-there are plenty of players  on the panel from Div 2 & 3 clubs that struggle to get a team together on occasions and they might get relegated or miss a promotion if their best players are missing for particular matches. I also think the quality of the club matches is naturally diluted of the top players are not playing. Players will only improve by competing against the best.

So what do the div 1 counties do in relation to leagues? If they play the starred games (Like we did in the past) does it harm their county team or improve it?

And does a successful senior county team then improve standards within the county ? We are too fixed on our clubs (myself included) too parochial, we don't play as a team as most players have a slight dislike for each other not healthy!

I don't know what the answer is overall but whatever we've done after Dinny first took charge has not really been something to shout about

We should be beating Meath and Kerry and the rest in this league but we'll struggle

I don't know what they do but I am not it's comparable in any case.  I expect the number of clubs and the playing population in Most top counties is significantly greater than it is in Antrim and the quality may not suffer just as much as it might here.

Is there any radio coverage today?

Last minute winner. Would take that everyday! They'll be buoyed with that result..

Well done to all involved

Yeah it's a young squad so hopefully will help them on too. Interesting to see Kerry push Westmeath so close.

Going by the reports Kerry were very unlucky against Westmeath, were winning by 6 at a stage and 3 of the Westmeath goals were meant to be gifted them. For ourselves it was great to get the win and will only push the young lads on even more. We are down a lot of players and it's great to see young lads coming in and making an impression. By the start of the Joe McDonagh campaign we could have an exciting panel raring to go.
