Antrim Football Thread

I'm just after digging out the 4 results to date in the Ulster minor league and it makes very depressing reading indeed! Told recently that a respected SW member of backroom team had walked away several weeks ago. Someone needs to be drilling into this to see what's going on up there.

No disrespect to enda mcginley but i think if antrim had got mickey Harte at this time it would be them celebrating promotion to division 2 today?

It's a conveyor belt of doting daddies this last couple of years. This years version just as bad as last years.

Is it a sought after position? Are people lining up to take the minor managers role?

Do people think there is a queue to take these development squads ?? Quite literally any of us could rock up and ask to do it

Shouldn't launch sole blame at u17 management. How long have they had with the team? A handful of months at most. If the players aren't there and/or they are a few years behind in physical development as we keep hearing, then what is anyone supposed to do with that over a couple of months? We all know the answers are structure, planning, proper player pathway environment from u14 up etc etc etc etc etc. let's hope the director of football is on the case as we type.

That's what I'm getting at, for some reason people think that's there's an interview process with multiple eager coaches with all their level 3 coaching certs and so on...

But we've an army of armchair coaches just willing to do feck all and stick the boot into the coaches who (for whatever reason) took the role on. Wise up

Thanks CB..Backroom team?

[EOC1923]

Barry Burns and Paul McErlane joint managers I believe

[Sportacus]

I think the minors play Monaghan in the championship.  It'll be very hard to lift it after a series of drubbings in the league.
