Hmmm certainly at least one name there would not have me dancing a jig but sure we prob all have our own views.

Hard for JE to make good on his past, CMcC know very little about & carries the hopes & support & PR of the SV machine now that Collies away, same faces behind this lad so is it going to be any different?  OE genuine straight arrow, would be good to hear what he has to say, doesn't do bells and whistles (pardon the pun) his commitment and record to the County is without question though,  may bring a much needed fresh approach.... However that doesn't get you votes in this day and age   

Minor and Senior double header in Ahoghill.

Good to see the chair of CCC making the proper decisions for a change, must be time for gathering support for County Chair 

I'm told this all squarely down to St Galls, they have been given numerous options ( too many) and because there is a function at Corrigan that evening all clubs asked to agree to bring forward the times, all agreed I hear but St Galls so now the matches are split and Galls still playing silly buggers. So the minors loose out playing before seniors and supporters have to travel, as per usual people in positions of authority make their own decisions without consideration for minors and supporters and games in the city!!! . No doubt the deflection tactics will start and its the fault of the county etc etc....

Club delegates were fed a crock of shite on many aspects of this from the beginning. They also opened their mouths wider and allowed themselves to be, refusing to listen to any alternative. Anyone who spoke against it was an anti-GAA "blackguard". That was the term used by the St. Brigid's delegate. You reap what you sow.

I've seen it said on this site many times, same old guard in situ just in different chairs over the last few decades getting a handy wee turn. Things will never improve in Antrim unless the whole house is cleaned out and start afresh with genuine honest people in the correct positions....

Not like him to be off the internet!

I would say he's been advised to refrain from posting about specific games (only)  to be fair to him it might compromise his position in relation to officiating games and he would deserve a shot at the business end depending on how results go.......

All referring appointments at this stage should go before the CCC to ratify, well that's what happens in other counties but then again in Antrim who knows?

It has to be said though that lad brings a lot of it on himself to be fair, attitude stinks, his communication is poor and instead of controlling it he tends to mirror the situation... seen him at Ahoghill recently definitely not his best day.

i hear it was rough between Ld and Kickams yesterday with a man having to be air lifted to hospital ? hope he makes a full recovery, was at st johns and cargin a draw probably a fair result but cargin have a bit more in the tank have to be favourites for the championship.

Cowardly act if the allegations are true, enough people there to view it and lets hope Sam makes a full recovery and the county deal with it accordingly, and of course lets hope MR seen it too.....

Over the past few years we have had good minor teams that have more than held their own at Ulster and have been extremely competitive, we have nothing to loose in Div. 4 and the present county panel bar 2 or 3 good young lads just physically can't do it. These kids worked well and atm are lost in the system of age groups but playing club football . AV should in conjunction with sensible people on the executive (not easy) just accept Div. 4 for the next few years and focus on these kids to pull through what would be a strong and unified group of lads.. If not they'll be lost heading away to Uni, states and further a field . Forget about everything except building for the next 3-5 years with these kids that have proved they can compete and get on no club rivalry.. We had a least 11 lads from Antrim on a Mc Crory & Hogan Cup winning panel/ team ffs or have the powers at be forgot this!!!!!!!!!

[Independent]

The County Board investigated the Portglenone Vs St Johns incident thoroughly. A good few people were called to interviews at Dunsilly to give their account, including both players and spectators. In the end I believe Portglenone received 2 suspensions and St Johns received 1. Reading the comments on here, there seems to be a lot of people happy to hype up the situation for some reason?

100% Caesar the suspensions came from the Refs report on the day, and in all of those good few people I understand there was not one Independent witness apart from one who talked but wouldn't go on record, yet rumour has it he sits on a county committee  so the CCC had no where to go!  So again well done both clubs at least the agreed on something...

Did any suspensions ever come out of the PG1 v St Johns match earlier in the year when the crowd and the players had a go at each other??

Pictures or videos or it didn't happen

Referee allegedly seen nothing but worried about his safety??? Players & Mentors seen nothing??? Video (What video?) Independent witness yes, allegedly gave full verbal report but wouldn't put it in writing, not good Big A if that is true  no where to go, id say well played both sides.... job well done
