Yeah heard Tomas McCann.Colum Duffin  and Conall Kelly have gone from panel,dont like to hear that so early in season.

May be a grain of truth in the departure of Conal Kelly and Colm Duffin'd departure but Tomas, doubt it.

Tomas?? Why? Was one of our best players v Wicklow

Not sure of the facts in this one........but how on earth can the county board close a 'social club'illegally if they own the joint?

Well done to our players and management.

But, by fcuk, our county executive are some shower of cnuts.

Despite previously costing our county £50,000+ for illegally closing Casement Social Club, they have gone and done it again. They have gone against legal advice (which they received only 2 weeks ago) and turned off the electricity. Of course, this hasn't closed the club.

This will, however, present another legal case against our county and another possible loss of money.

A question for Jim Murray & Frankie Quinn - what are you getting out if this, you two scheming shyster cnuts? I hope it's worth it.

Another court battle looming for the cunty board, fcuk me will they ever learn, maybe if it's another 50 or 60 grand out of the clubs pockets people will realise the sh1t these boys get themselves into

Centre half or full forward is the question though.

Justin Crozier is one of the best centre backs in Ulster.............just why Baker is following Dawson's lead and continuing to play him in the full back line is beyond me..........

I always try and be positive with antrim football but I really didn't see any positives out of today's game. Defensively unorganised, a midfield with no creative ideas although plenty of ball, and apart from cj we looked very poor up front. Easy to blame the management but this group of players have had their chance, and then some. We cough up the ball in every tackle and once again our half forwards were completely lost. Similar to the Cavan McKenna cup game, though against a much more limited opposition in Wicklow. Build with short passing until we get to midfield and then we get stage fright and either turn back or just boot hopeful balls into a very static forward line. Cj was a class apart today, without him we would have been really embarrassed. More ideas when Ryan Murray came on. Big Niall won plenty of ball, but for his size and experience he brings very little penetration. Don't know where baker goes from here, but as some of his back room staff have suggested, he could hardly do worse than bring in a few new faces as some of our more experienced players have shown last season and this, either they don't have the hunger for county anymore or just not the ability.
Tough days ahead for antrim.
Ahoghill was in great shape though bloody freezing. Fair play to the clooney men on good organization and getting on with the job in difficult circumstances.
Hear what u say Rasharkin but just who are those 'new faces' to be introduced who are going to light the Antrim fires and guide us through those 'tough days'. We have been quite pathetic at under age for a life time...........when was the last time we made any impact at minor or under-21 level ?Have a look at the club scene in the county and consider how far ahead of the rest are a couple of sides.
Sure we haven't fared at all well in our couple of games thus far but it is without any semblance of doubt that the Bradley's have the full backing of the players and i am more than confident that we will get better.
Incidentally judging on the vast knowledge within Antrim, which is quite evident in the most profound statements made on this site that we will not have to look far to replace the present management.

Only one change for the Wickla game with Conal Kelly replacing the suspended Conor Murray.

I think you can take the team announced with a pinch of salt...................certain to be changes, Niall Delargy, Sean Mc Veigh, CJ, and Tomas Mc Cann likely to start.

Thanks Gold. We seem to think we have a right to beat the Leitrims of this world, but Mayo, Sligo and Roscommon couldn't do it these past few weeks. Our away record is abysmal too which dosent help.

And there is no point of anyone looking to start lumping all the blame on Baker or the management team. Once the ball is thrown in its up to the players to deliver. Obviously too many didn't do it. How many can look in the mirror today and say "I did well today". How many won their 1v1`s. How many thought "its only Leitrim"?

Time to lose this condescending attitude that we will sail through division four. Hard hard work might get us there, but nothing less.

Quite right u are Bannside sure Baker can only put the team out and the fact that all of the forwards bar one were replaced tells its own tale.

We can bounce back from this setback if we keep a cool head. Not a time for panic we can win our four home games and everyone will drop points in this division. Ten points will secure promotion.

Another one......................sure that would just be greedy.

Where have all the pundits gone? Sure I wouldn't hear a thing if it wasn't for all the good souls who keep me up to date on all things Saffron.

The Rock

Well that sure would be news............. but are u suggesting that those like residents of the hallowed ground at Milltown take of intoxicating drink. Naw that is too far fetched even for a culchie......................

Where have all the pundits gone? Sure I wouldn't hear a thing if it wasn't for all the good souls who keep me up to date on all things Saffron.

So Niall Mc Keever is to captain the Saffron's this year..........

You know how many positions on the county Board were contested at this years annual convention? Zero, as I am sure you can guess.

In fact there are 3 positions not even filled. So honestly, until you are prepared to step up and seek a position, you have no right to anonymous negative on  a discussion board.

Yeah because Frankie Quinn and Jim Murray are there for the good of Antrim Gaa, they are doing it for the love of Antrim

Well big Jim certainly loves the oul county, but I think wee frankie is possibly more in love with the Euros..........and he gets a lot for his troubles.

But where have all the pundits gone?

The 2 boys that run this county. One describes himself as "I'm 6 foot 4 and 20 stone".

And the other one....................rather short, and the height of nonsence!

I know it doesn't mean a lot but it's a plug on my part, Jackson McGreevey is up for a award Dual Player of the year

He Captained the Under 21 hurling team this year and has played for the seniors a few times also this year he also played right half back for the our senior footballers in the county final (played well also). If you wish to vote it's in the link below (feel like TF now)

Young Mc Greevey is a prospect and a half indeed, and he will have my vote............

no seats at Creggan and that is for real.....................how many other grounds in the County (with the notable exception of Corrigan) do facilitate their patrons with seated accommodation?.....................
