Listening to midlands radio today it seemed we were over reliant on playing a long ball into a very isolated R McCann at FF. He has been great for us this season but today it sounded that every ball was played into him and we had no build up play or runners. Been a good variety of attack previously so don't know why it changed today

Surely today is an outlier. We aren't a bad team overnight and there were lots of factors around the team today which will have had an impact. We have a two week gap now to work on structure, game plan and hopefully get some injured players back. I think we can give Cavan a game at home on 18th and yes, it will likely come down to beating Longford on the 26th. Chatting briefly to Andy McE on Friday; his passion for the team and insights are impressive. I wouldn't hold up today as a true barometer of where we are.

Very true. Sometimes shit just happens to put it politely.

Left to concentrate on the March Div 1 league fixtures 🙈

Play for your club in the league on a Sunday or play for your county in a friendly away to meath in a nothing game on a Friday night i know what I'm picking

Not a challenge game, Leo Murphy cup

U20 decimated with injuries I heard during the week, only 16 player available for the Meath game

Div 1 predictions.
Moneyglass v Aghagallon-away win by at least 10
Ahoghill v N Bríd-away win by 3
St Galls v Casements-high scoring Draw
Lamh Dhearg v St John's-home win by 2
Randalstown v Cargin-draw
Creggan v Rossa-home win 6+

Think Aghagallon will win but it will be very tight
Ahoghill to take the points
Casements to win
LD to win
Cargin to win, I know Cargin have a lot missing but so do tir na Nog , think a handy enough away win
Creggan to win handy

Bright guy so must've plan

An email to HMRC?

Dd Matthew Gribben not play for Cargin but play underage for Derry?

Did indeed ITG, played corner back if memory serves in Derry team beat by Down in Screen i think

Anyone at the fixtures meeting last night? Any startling changes planned for 2024?

Big shout out due to Terry Reilly who was elected to the highest echelons of GAA administration over the weekend. He is Ulster's representative on the GAA national Coiste Bainiste, a position never held before (to my knowledge) by an Antrim administrator. Worthy recognition for a man who has served diligently and with commendation often under the radar. Congratulations Terry.

You really do need to wake up sometimes bannside and smell the coffee!

This board is worse than the cryptic crossword in the IN, ffs if you've got something to say get on with it

I don't get why reserve was moved to Sunday, I thought it was working really well on Friday nights , must be some reason for it but it's beyond me

Just had a look at the club fixtures, un f**king believable with the 10am starts.

I'm assuming they're typos and times will be fixed for the usual 2pm or so times.
Personally I'd love early morning games but I know 99% of the population would hate it.

No , not typos apparently

Hearing Deccy Lynch has picked up a knee injury, not sure how serious, casualty list just gets bigger for Andy unfortunately .

See another fixtures meeting called for Monday night coming

It's the only way into Leinster championship I think, does away with the usual play off with Down.

Very true ITG
