Well done to the winners but the voting is pretty meaningless. Half the team shoe horned into positions they werent nominated for. Doesnt make much sense.

MR2, like i said, the fixtures in Antrim would be a nightmare to sort given the duality of alot of clubs. I just merely said that the playoffs should have been completed before the start of championship.

In terms of double headers, i was talking about a junior game before intermediate or an intermediate before senior. Would attract larger crowds and im sure most would see it as value for money.

The lads from Saffron Voice are just calling out concerns that many within the County have...as such.

Fixture scheduling is a major issue IMO. I undertsand that we are probably the only county in Ulster with 3 leagues in both codes with alot of the clubs being dual. Fixtures will be tricky to organise in Antrim but there is no way leagues shouldnt be finished before championship starts. The u-20 grade is a complete farce and should be scrapped immediately.

Regarding the issue of pricing. there is no reason for not having double headers, particularly at the 1/4 and semi stage. Punters want value for money and many more neutrals would attend double headers. Dunsilly is great but if it can have double headers then use 1 of the many venues that have in the past.

Lastly, Hightown should never be used again for a championship match at any level. Its a terrible place to watch a match. McCavana needs to stop pushing it to host matches, it simply isnt fit for purpose. What happened to Glenavy/Ahoghill/Creggan which were used regularly?

The game should have been played before the championship started. Aghagallon sure to be fatigued after sunday and Ballymena have been twiddling their thumbs for the past 6 weeks. No good for either team.

Plus one Geezer.

McEntee be rubbing his hands together watching some of the scores he was swinging over on Sunday.

Niblock definitely in, would have Gallagher as well.

Both clubs have produced some class forwards but Shivers will be take someones spot on there with another 3/4 seasons under his belt. Outrageous talent.

Some sh#t talked on here, talk about ulster after the final next week when we see who's going to represent Antrim in it.

Of course but you'd be silly not to have one eye on Ulster

Play winners of Donegal, then Derry/Tyrone.

Forget about it

Cargin/aghagallon will have as good a chance as any in ulster.

Theres no bad teams in the provincials. All on the day. Just have to look at creggan last year, basically had the game won in the 1st half and just switched off. Ive no doubt they would have gave derrygonnelly a better game in the semi than what clann eirann did.

Barring St Galls, Antrim clubs havent gone too well in Ulster. Doesnt mean they are bad teams though. Creggan should have beaten Clann Eireann last year and Cargin had Gweedore on the ropes a few years ago in Corrigan.

Just look at Tyrone clubs, only 1 club ever has ever won Ulster (errigal). Didnt affect them too much at county level.

Should have ripped the net tried to be cute and take the point

In fairness when he took the point i thought st marys were dead and buried. Hindsight.

No doubt. The manner of that defeat in particular be a tough pill to swallow.

Penny for mckeevers thoughts...goal at his mercy.

Bannside must still be trying to figure out how PG1 havent made the final...

Assume Cargin/Aghagallon will both be wearing away strips for the final?

That was a wild game. Portglenone by far the better team but Aghagallon have that never say die attitude.

PG1 had the game won in both normal time and ET but somehow st marys came away with the victory. Couldn't believe when loughran scored the goal.

PG1 were so dominant in the 60, as soon as mccann got the goal they crumbled. They again had the game won in ET, crumbled. Surely there is something wrong with the mentality in that group?

That was 1 of the best endings ive ever seen in a game, pure hysteria from the aghagallon side and pure heartbreak from PG1.

Another bridge too far for PG1 when they should have been home and hosed in normal time.

What was Shivers sent off for?

Money grabbing exercise. Nothing more, nothing less.
