That was a definitely skid row for a few minutes. That game will help us. St Johns always a hard nut to crack. Casements the team to beat

I see David Clifford has joined the ranks. I thought he worked in the Bank.

Finished uni just, he played in this years Sigerson final.

Massive game for us at the weekend, we haven't been playing as well as we can, however this game is the beginning of our title defence, its knockout football all the way and our hunger for more success will now be properly tested. McCanns acl injury is a blow to us but we coped last season with big injuries, we can cope with is this.

Any idea why dk yous haven't been firing ??

It is as Erinsboy said, we were slow to get going last season to. The one thing that is different, is that instead of us previously for years upon years being the hunter, we are now the hunted. Its a completely different mind set to adjust to.

Moving on from the never ending Sh*tshow which is Casement, any predictions for the weekend?

Lisburn v Sarsfields- Sarsfields by 7
Glenavy v Antrim- Glenavy by 5
Rasharkin v Glenravel- Glenravel by 9
Teresa's v St Pauls- St Pauls by 4
Dunloy v Ardoyne- Dunloy by 2


St Galls v Creggan- Creggan by 7
Brigid's v Moneyglass- Draw
Gorts v TNN- TNN by 3
St Enda's v Rossa- Rossa by 2
LD v St Johns- Draw
Ahoghill v PG1- PG1 by 8

Have you ever been to a Portglenone v Ahoghill game? Ports by 8 🤦‍♂️

That was my thought as well!

Ahoghill might not win but they'll not let PG1 get that much of a lead on them.

If they can't put them away by 7/8 they haven't chance against Creggan or Cargin. That result would demonstrate genuine progress. A 2/3 pts win is the same as the past few seasons

Lot of gossip around work today that Paddybradley has applied for senior job

😂😂😂

in his short management career he been with a few teams and did absolutely nothing. Certainly not the man for our job

Talking of Kilcoo... Conleith has a new two year remit there and for obvious reasons wouldn't even engage on the Antrim subject! Another serious operator. All about the timing.

Don't think we need to panic...keep shaking a few branches and you never know. Feel free all to generate a few warmed up leads....this belongs to us all.

Are you suggesting we 'take a punt' on someone who has never managed a senior club team for the Antrim senior county team? His success as a coach is on the back of Mickey Morans coat tail.

I didn't realise it was so lop sided, I thought the posters keeping BS going about getting to the final, was just that, a bit of criac. That is a seriously handy draw. I'm sure St Brigids will be eyeing it up as well.

to clarify, are St Johns, LD, Cargin & Creggan (I know Creggan & Cargin are at semifinal stage if they get that far) all on the same side of the draw?

This evenings game is something to0 look forward to , particularly following our win in the championship lasy year. Its the first time that the shoe is on the other foot for cargin. So that makes it different. The other sub plot to this league serious, is that Casements set their stall out to win the league, particularly disappointing considering the main two teams had a number of players unavailable for a large number of games.

I'm delighted with the choice of the ref. He certainly didn't do us any harm in our last game with Cargin. All the big calls went our way.

 

One of the things that are truly bizarre in life are people who talk like they can see the future and predict things, but at the same hvae this wonderful ability to see whats on the end of their nose, but funnily enough don't take their own club team. I have always wonder that, one of the great unanswered questions of the GAA. Such great knowledgeable people you would think would be in demand or have won notable championships. Now thats another bizarre thig as well, however this part is not confined to Gaa as I hear that in the pub every weekend when the lads were trying to tell me that Arsense Wenger hadn't a clue. 

Hearing Dom Corrigans name mentioned in relation to senior football manager

Would be an excellent appointment. Constantly at the winners podium

Hearing Dom Corrigans name mentioned in relation to senior football manager

Hugh Mc Gettigan/Brian White and Ross Carr mentioned.....in despatches.

An appointment of car crash proportions. no

Thought that. Be interesting to see what he does come championship- seems to have suffered a lot from injuries this year.

If I recall he spent most of last season injured as well with a hamy. Hear Mick is out injured for 5/6 weeks to. Antrim getting no luck here at all.
