Why is the Antrim/Monaghan game at the Athletic Grounds??

Would it be due to the match having to be played early, considering no minor games are played in June due to exams? Perhaps Casement is being used that evening?

Imagine Derry will be hard to beat now the St. Pats lads will have joined the squad and Monaghan will have to be respected after winning the Ulster League.

probably tyrone to lose again saying they have the biggest pick of players and best record at this level, Derry i think have picked up only 2 ulster titles in 18yrs and given their strength at college and club this shouldnt be the case. Even if they had the strongest team this yr, it would not suprise me if they got beat. tyrone got a built in nature to win games (they expect to win ulster and all-ireland titles at minor. This mindset is not present as much in any other ulster teams

Anyone have any idea what the two minor teams on Sunday are like? I see Cavan beat Armagh by a point in the league whether we can look too much into that. I assume Armagh will have a good few St. Pauls boys

Some shocking decisions yesterday. I think the free count was something like 34 to 14 in favour of Cavan. Ref even played over the time to allow C,avan to get winning point from a push in the back of the Armagh defender. Mr Molloy if you rea,d this Board I hope you're proud of yourself

Agree - Armaghs goal shouldn't have stood, ref had blown the whistle for a free in. Thankfully the ref played by the rules in the senior game ;)

I'm sorry to hear that Dougal but at the end of the day he lost a game, no one died. He will win and lose many others and he may be on the side that wins due to a bad decision one day. That is football.

The ref is also an amateur and I'm sure he didn't go out with the intention of letting Cavan win.

You should tell your son that Armagh's goal shouldn't have stood because the whistle was blown beforehand, that Cavan showed the greater hunger in the final minutes and deserved their win, and then you, like the rest of the Armagh supporters yesterday, should quit whinging about referees and take your beatings.

I know Westside will say stop complaining about referees but an innocent mistake by the referee can end a young fellas chance at inter county.

Your fella is lucky he got the two hours though. I know a young fella who missed out on his chance the last two years because of a bad injury. Hopefully both will progress as good under 21 players and help Armagh get a win in the next couple of years.

Sounds about right. He had a very bad injury and still recovering from complications. Hopefully the bad luck he and the minors have had over the last two years will be reversed at under 21.

Armagh goal shouldn't have stood - so he wasn't doing Cavan any favours. In a close game like that, goals can make all the difference. Thankfully it didn't with a 1pt win,  Cavan were the best team and dominated for long spells, but kicked poor some poor wides,

The ref didn't look the fittest

Looks a very even championship this year. Tyrone/Donegal will be a pivotal match at minor level. Donegal beat Tyrone in the league semi final so either will be favourites to progress to the ulster final. That's not saying Derry be a poor outfit especially when their Maghera contingent return. Cavan will improve for sure but will have a tough game against Monaghan who won the ulster league. Tyrone's record at this level is very hard to ignore.

Armagh are the only team Cavan have managed to beat in a competitive match this year so maybe they might not beat Fermanagh!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do Leinster and Munster have a back door in the first round of the minors while Ulster dont.
surely These young fellas deserve another run out, as they may only ever play an hour at this level.
I thought with st Pauls having a good year that Armagh would have been hard to beat at this level. It will be interesting to see how Derry get on with all the Pats boys, will Down give them a run for their money.

Not sure, I didn't have a programme sunday.. Ryan Connolly missed a few games in the Minor league, and Pearse Smith
O Connell that came on as a sub, not sure if was on the panel all along?

Connacht doesn't have a back door eiter.

There is are only two A's in Cavan. Your constant idiotic spelling of Cavan on every thread you post it is tiresome and far from being funny is a measure of the low level of wit you possess.

I think Westside and Tommy were at bit harsh on you there Dougal, I can imagine you are very disappointed for your son. Who wouldn't be. Knock out football can be very cruel.

I think Westside is still affected by the antics of the slabbers he was surrounded by at the match. Mind you my lad not as disappointed as he was last year. He's playing senior football for the club and that seems to mean as much to him. Your comments are much appreciated and I wish both your teams all the best. Have a lot of time for the place and its people after 3 very enjoyable years at the Fleadh

Post by: PAULD123 on May 22, 2013, 12:16:16 PM
Dougal,

I have sympathy for your lad. Not so much because he was knocked out of a knock out competition, but more because it is unfair it is knock out at all.

Firstly not all provinces operate the system Ulster do, in Munster & Leinster there is a first-round second chance route. The system should be the same everywhere because then even if it harsh it is harsh for everyone. It is completely against GAA principles that your lad faces only playing one match because he is from Ulster but would be guaranteed at least two if he was from Munster or Leinster.

Secondly in order to encourage and improve lads it makes no sense to only give them one game. There is no good reason why the senior and minor competitions must mirror each other exactly. A two-group round robin would make much more sense and would still allow the minor matches to compliment the senior games but with some extra games played in-between. It would mean the Ulster minor championship would guarantee these lads, who have sacrificed so much, at least 3 games. Basically the McCrory Cup structure would be the most suitable I think.

Finally as a province our system shoots itself in the foot. If a top class minor team has a bad day they are out and we have potentially lost the best team to represent our province in the All-Ireland series. Other provinces legislate for a fluke defeat with a second chance, we do not.

They start the Ulster Minor League very late, by the time its over the Leinster Minor Championship is well up and running. If they wanted to play back door in Uster they would have to start the Ulster Minor League a lot earlier, The LC is another factor

They should have the same system in all the provinces either straight knock out or else a back door system.

Munster has quite a strange system & of no benefit to win a game in that Province. Cork going out this year, and Kerry still in the championship

The inconsistent structure of the minor championship really annoys me and I can't understand how this has been allowed to go on year after year.  In 2009 Armagh won the AIM after rather luckily beating Tyrone in Ulster when Tyrone were probably the best team in Ulster that year - no second chance there.  Last year Kerry must have lost 2 games and were still in the competition.  Something needs to be done about this soon.

That Armagh team went through the whole year unbeaten.  I think that they proved that they were the best team in Ireland in 2009.  Last year's Armagh minor team would have benefitted from a back door system.  They were very unlucky to be beaten by a very good Tyrone team in the first round.

Correct, but it's really stretching it a bit to say that Tyrone were the best minor team in Ulster when they were beaten by a team that went through the Minor League and Championship unbeaten.  Armagh minors outplayed Tyrone  last year for long periods but I wouldn't necessarily say that Armagh were the best team in Ulster because of that.  Even the best teams rely on luck from time to time.

Maybe I was stretching it but Tyrone should have won that day, Robbie Tasker scored two penalties for Armagh with the seond one that won it for them never being a penalty at all.  My point was that Tyrone could have arguably went on and won that All Ireland if the systems in place were consistent.

Caaaavan have to be looking at the draw now and thinking if they stay focused they can at least make the Ulster final/AIQF.

There is are only two A's in Cavan. Your constant idiotic spelling of Cavan on every thread you post it is tiresome and far from being funny is a measure of the low level of wit you possess.

I think Westside and Tommy were at bit harsh on you there Dougal, I can imagine you are very disappointed for your son. Who wouldn't be. Knock out football can be very cruel.

I guess you're not a big fan of the Caaaavan man on Shannonside/Northern Sound, Myles? I'd have thought he'd have a big following in his home county.

Monaghan impressed this evening in Newry. A fine team and really came out of blocks early, forwards very sharp. Hit a rocky spell in second half and conceded 3 goals but few changes and pushed on again to finish strong.

They will meet bigger challenges but haven't seen a Monaghan minor team as impressive in long time.

Watched Monaghan earlier on this year, they looked a decent team then and they appear to have improved since but for a team to score that much in a championship game you would have to ask just how poor a team Antrim are. Don't think Monaghan will have too much bother despatching Cavan in the semi's. Tyrone who have been setting the standard at minor level had a good win against Donegal and could well be the team to beat this year.

Was impressed with Tyrone minors yesterday but the result could of been very different if donegal had a consistent free taker. Donegal kicked 19 wides in the game which included 5 very easy frees in the 2nd half. Would putmonaghan as the team to beat this year

Tyrone had a decent midfield showing but the forward unit were awful on the day, very static and seemingly unwilling to come looking for the ball, take thier man on or shoot.

DnG had enough chances to be out the gate.

Alot of people have Monaghan as the favourites for Ulster this year but who ever wins between Tyrone and Down will be no push overs, they will have come through the tough end of the draw ( both had good away wins in Donegal and Derry ) and may have a sharper edge to their game than a team who won't be properly tested until the final. Of course I'm assuming Monaghan will beat Cavan !!!!!!!

Surely that would depend on the performance of both Monaghan and Cavan? Monaghan won easily against Antrim and I haven't seen Cavan play yet so I can't comment. It would appear that Tryone have come through the tougher end of the draw therefore giving them a slight edge and hence the favourties tag, in my opinion.

I saw the 2nd half. Conditions were very poor and this led to a really error-ridden and messy game. Tyrone hit a bit of a purple patch and got 3-4 scores on the trot within about 5 minutes. That was game over really. From yesterday you wouldn't fear Tyrone but having seen them in Ballybofey, they will probably be favourites.
