All going well. Players like the way Jude has set about his business.  Lavey man Seamus Scullion is along with him PJ. We're hoping for a decent year....just like everyone in January lol.

Expecting big things then? Lol Worth £20 on Paddy Power for the SFC?

Didn't think MR was trying to be clever with his comment there lads. He has acknowledged an increase in SW standards but rightly points out that it hasn't transferred in any tangible way to thd county set up. Hard to argue with that tbh.

We'll agree to disagree BS.

Hows the pre-season going for your fellas? Who is in along with Jude Donnelly?

"Please somebody tell me when was the last 'county team' which failed to raise a flag for the duration of a full half"

I think we went a half without scoring against Roscommon in a Div 3 match under the inglorious reign of Frank Dawson. An appalling performance.

please let us never speak of that game again, that was depressing.

Shocking. Surely some improvement has been made recently.

Nope, even an upsurge in sw talent it seems we are still stuck at that level

Suppose still city men in charge if you wanna go down that route and be a d**k.

Casement? Soaking wet Saturday... jeepers it was poor.

Arrogant? Certainly not.... but anything the county do you have yourself and Pj give off about it.... pure negative and we wonder why Antrim is a shit county!! They have been elected in and should be given a chance instead of sniping all the time....

You were out of order. End of. The county is in diffs because we have people who are above their station.

I'm negative when I feel I have to be.

Get off your high horse oul hand.

Then do something about it!! Unless youve been under a rock for 50 years the county has been in diffs a lot, are you critical all the time without a solution?

Who are you to tell me to do something about it? How do you know what I am doing to improve my club or county?

I'm not critical all the time for the sake of it. I've been critical of saffron vision and I have every right to be.

I tell you what I want until I know or you tell me different? You are critical all the time so I think you're negative which you've admitted... you're not part of the Antrim committee do in that respect you do feck all.. if you wash the gear at the club, the well done

I'll continue to post what i want about what i want. It's people like you and yer mate TR that give decent Belfast gaels a bad name. A whistle in your cheaper and you think you're an authority on everything.

So by me posting what I want, I'm I any different to you? You'd be a right fool to think differently.... I've explained befor PJ I ain't got mates at the county. Now if you can remember that, then that be a good start...

It's people like you who run down the county at every decision and not do anything constructive that's possibly keeps Antrim where it is

People like me? somebody who has given 30 years of his life playing, refereeing, umpiring, coaching and sitting on committees? I'm sure most other people on the board had done all this also, so maybe it's people like me that keep the clubs etc going.

Anyway, we aren't going to agree about anything so we'll stop clogging up this thread. Look forward to seeing how my complaints pan out over the next few months. My guess that we'll be still writing about the same issues this time next year.

Big win for the hurlers, couldn't make it up as her indoors was working. Any reports??

Of course Cargin would have beaten that Antrim side which lost at Fermanagh on Wed nite last Bannside and I have absolutely no doubt that several Antrim division one sides would also have done the same.
Please somebody tell me when was the last 'county team' which failed to raise a flag for the duration of a full half.............and indeed if Tomas Mc Cann hadn't been involved perhaps we wouldn't have scored at all.
Fermanagh have a population of 60.000.......Antrim have 600,000.......

Let's not be to critical..

There is a hurling coach in Ulster worth £10k??

Not a chance.

Yeah I think it's a great facility. More than capable of holding the numbers that will attend. Tight pitch might mean we get beat by less than 20 points.

It's too tight and the game is not about being competitive (league, cup) it's a mark of respect towards someone that you probably have no idea who.... Queens pitch is small even for football... and if you've hurled a bit you'd know a small pitch won't keep scores down

What an arrogant post!! What makes you think I would have no idea who Fr Reid was MR2?

Because MR2 is the fountain of all knowledge and every post must be approved by him.

Bringing the All Ireland Champions 200 miles to play a game at Corrigan! An absolute insult. Cloughmills were insulted last weekend playing an All Ireland Quarter final in a public park  (practically).

Surely with the right PR we could have got Queens to allow us their fantastic facility for a one off given it's the All Ireland Champions.

Antrim Vision my hole!

Too small a pitch in my view! Have you been to Queens?

Corrigan or the Bear pit are the only pitches in the city capable of taking the game at this time of year.

A very bad few days getting tanked by well oiled machines Monaghan and Fermanagh who under MOR and Pete Mc Grath have developed an culture where players are intensely proud to represent their county. I know it's "only" the Mc Kenna cup but pride is pride and whilst other counties make a genuine attempt to win the competition, we trot out the line we are using the competition to try out a few youngsters.

The real event starts in a few weeks and Antrim supporters expect us to be very competitive in all our division 3 games and avoid relegation. Do that and the year will be deemed a success. But anything less than that will be called for what it is. Let's hope it's the former!

There's the problem it's "only" the McKenna cup.. soon it'll be "only" the league then it'll be sure it's Donegal, then it'll be somebody else in the backdoor and it's see you later 2017..

Our target should of been getting a win in the McKenna Cup and building on it, instead we've lost 3 on the bounce with maybe 2 decent halfs of football.

[admit some of my posts are negative]

Absolutely not and as a county, we have a hell of a lot of work to do.

Agree 100%.. but how can we as a county move on when everything is a negative both on and off the pitch? I hold my hands up and admit some of my posts are negative but I'm calling things as I see them and that at the minute is an embarrassment. Not scoring for a half of football? Shocking.

F
Glad you admitted that, now be positive

Feck aff you..
