Antrim Football Thread

[NorthAntrim]

Are we going to comment on the conduct and outcome of the minor teams this year?

With the number of minor footballers who walked off the panel due to management and then we have the latest from the minor hurling which presents huge safeguarding breaches

Who's accountable for the performance of these people? Coaching officer? County Board?

safeguarding breaches? you've obviously registered to chat shit on this matter. Maybe chatting to club secretary or whatever means would be a better avenue to go down?

What do we think is a likely neutral venue for match v Sligo? Omagh looks to be about equidistant...wouldn't be too bad a choice for supporters to get to. Armagh maybe asking for a bit much, certainly hope its not Clones.

Any forum which allows the matter to be dealt with and address in public should be welcomed!

Providing drink to an u17 team which includes 15 year olds should never be diminished or dealt with behind closed doors!

Is that not a safeguarding breach northantrim?


As parent(s) of a child on the team we are absolutely disgusted that it was allowed to happen.

Maybe Owenbeg.Should be a great game.

I would view that as serious. As a parent I would be genuinely furious. Pass my kid over to be looked after for the day and to then get influenced negatively by the very people who should be caring for them.

shocking. was this supplied to them by the management? or allowed to happen on their watch

[Coffeebeforeand]

Management supplied it to them!

I know it's being looked at but it should never have happened in the first place

My son wasn't drinking as he's too young and I know that kids at 16/17 are permitted to drink by their parents on in some cases but it shouldn't be allowed or deemed acceptable behaviour by a coach. I've known a lot of these kids for many years and they are good kids. They were getting off the bus blocked!!

There's been so much wrong this year, in hurling and football yet it's been allowed to progress and this is the straw that broke the camels back!
