This is a county matter if you consider that clips on Social Media/Wats App etc are the modern day equivalent of the back page of the Irish News

St Johns don't seem to have taken any quick decisive action on it unless I haven't heard .............

singing about a dead Lamh Dhearg man - skunks and there club should boot them out

How do the bookies see the senior final on Sunday? has to be close to a 50/50 game....

of course he has a smashing CV but it was still a daft thing to say that disrespected our County and our senior clubs and that's a real fact and not an alternative fact!

A good CV doesn't mean he isn't a rocket - St Galls won 12 championships out of 13, an all-ireland title and there was no mention of being too good for Antrim. Cargin won 2 in a row - a good CV doesn't mean he doesn't talk crXp at times

I wonder does Brennan still think Cargin are too good for Antrim and need to be in Derry championship to get competitive games ....rocket!

who was last team outside St Galls/Cargin to win the senior championship?

Are the u17 and u20 jobs filled?

St Johns were far better and might have missed their opportunity

Couldn't believe how average Creggan were against LD - Madden's pay packet must be hanging by a thread now!

any predictions for this week's football semi's and why???

I don't doubt any of the info about county finances but would really welcome clarity on county finances. In my experience of financial mgt at club level the more open you are the more likely people are to come forward and help.
How much is the legacy debt?
Where is Business Forum money going to? (Brilliant initiative)
Is Club Aontroma still going
etc , etc
I think people often gripe about finances when they don't know the full picture..............

While all new money is good for Antrim GAA I hope, if you are right and Antrim get money for 10 new coaches for the schools, there is money to run a proper fixture schedules for juveniles. As a coach across a number of age ranges in Belfast our main problem is the season is so short i.e. April to September with no matches in July so 5 months only. This isn't enough matches to stop lads drifting off to other sports. We need money for full time competition administrators to book 4-G pitches, run winter leagues etc so lads will have enough of a season to dedicate themselves to GAA and fulfill their potential. Simply lads want to be play more than be coached and ignoring the lack of a 9/10 month fixture calendar and concentrating on coaching only is a mistake - like to hear others thoughts on this issue...............

anyone know for definite is club minor u17 or u18 next year ? a lot of confusion out there.......

What about a club survey of divisional board performance with the results reviewed by the County Board?
The survey would be along the lines of
- what has the Div board done poorly?
- where could it improve?
- what could it do more of
- etc
This is type of feedback is needed in all walks of life and could only be beneficial in understanding the issues better.....

Here's a thought on coaches that goes against the grain - we need to spend more money on full time fixtures organisers and planners and if that has to be at the expense of paid coaches so be it. Players want to play matches over training and if Antrim GAA can not provide kids with 40 odd matches a year they will get bored of training and go to other sports........
