Really looking forward to this one. If they don't freeze in CP setting they should be just fine, always thought we were a level above Kerry this season. Its fantastic to see it. Game live on RTE

Living in the future - none of this has happened yet

Bradley's sequence of points towards the end of the first half.....class. Its a real treat to see an Antrim team playing consistently well, the squad seems to have genuine depth about it. I hope to God we get to play a proper Div 1 next season, see how we get on against Wexford, Clare, Dublin and whoever. Can this squad make an impact in the Liam McCarthy?

There does seem to be a 'professional' environment about them. Love to see it.

So Antrim are apparently after a guy who has done nothing in his two years as a manager with a promising team. Jesus christ the night. I'd say there are even lads on the board with a better managerial CV than Mcginley. Bizarre. But they can't complain if these are the guys theyre going after. If there was a division 5, antrim would be in it.

How would we be in a metaphorical Div 5, having finished 3rd in Div 4?

Kevin Murray.

Two campaigns out of 3 we missed promotion by a point. If one of those losses had been a draw...or one of the draws a win. The time and effort the management team puts in, its enormous. And Lenny had no luck at all.

Very good interview with Liam Bradley in the paper over the weekend.

Baker 3???

Just so frustrating. Season after season, no wins in Ulster. We were well capable of winning that today. Some poor decisions especially in front of goal. Paddy C and Mick were great especially first half. Without them today we wouldn't have been in it, so does that mean we can't do without them?

Brendan I can tell you are loyal to the cause and I wont fault you for that, but why would would we look ahead to a likely championship meeting with Div1 team Monaghan with confidence?

Well they are now a Div 2 team and I didn't actually say that.

They are still Division 1..

🤦‍♂️ My mistake

Very strange post tbf.... I think the players you mentioned there bar Shivers are playing or on the panel

They are on the panel, and Pat Shivers is only one year out of minor, he is very young and no doubt will feature in near future.

One more point this campaign, i.e drawing with Sligo instead of losing by 1, or beating Carlow rather than settling for draw after we drew level.....either scenario would have seen us promoted this campaign. In that case there would be no talk of old guard v new crop, new manager needed etc. It would have been job done, that was a successful campaign, lets look to Championship with confidence.

Thats how fine the margins are.

Its hugely frustrating to look forward to another year in the basement. I think we are better than that. Point lost in Sligo and a home draw to Carlow were the most costly days this year; taking last Saturday as an unexplainable blip.

So next year Louth and Leitrim will be down in 4, both beatable, and we have beaten both in recent times. Wexford you suspect will improve, Carlow too. It will be very hard to finish top 2.

'Sack' the manager? and what...who coming in will make a massive difference? What players aren't playing who should be? None except Matt Fitzpatrick.

Continuity I think is a valuable commodity here. Lenny and his team will have learned with each season. Lets put the lessons to work for next year,

Its a blow alright. Remember Westmeath beating us in Dunloy last summer? Jeez they were mountains of men.

It is a statement full of waffle and spin. Embarrassing is right. It doesn't help us either, we would have wanted Sligo going into their match believing promotion was still possible for them. They know it isn't now.
