Antrim / Re: Antrim Football Thread

In reply to skull,why not try to  get a meeting organised of all interested parties and we will form working groups and decide a way forward.I give 5 nights a week to gaa as it is and would love to contribute to the antrim cause.
     i understand the volume of work that's needed and the length of time that it might take but sure if we don't make a start we will never get there.
           when I say all parties this of course should involve the county board together with players of all codes ,ex players and people like myself i.e antrim supporters who think they have something positive to offer.
   if you cant get something organised let me try,this cant go on ,days like last sunday cannot be repeated.  I wonder how many casual fans we have lost last week as the result of that debacle.

 im simply an antrim supporter that only managed to get to four football matches this year.i also go to as many hurling and camogie matches as I can.
I spent £40 on sunday to watch an antrim team that was aiming to get beat by the smallest margin possible.it was so hard to watch and I left with my wife and children with 6 minutes still to play.i have never done this before but  with us only 5 or six points behind I knew that we were never going to win the match even with the extra man. it was soul destroying,really hard to watch.to make matters worse on the way home I listened to the antrim manager as he was being interviewed on radio ulster and he seem quite pleased with his days work. imo a managers first job is man management, assembling the best possible squad ,getting to know his players individually ,know what makes them tick and what motivates them. the iron fist approach and closing or slamming doors dosnt do anyone any good. there should be a team approach i.e management team and players    instead of the big boss and then the players. kevin mc gourty gave his opinon today, that was all he did. I have much the same opinon .im sick of this I would rather go and watch a team getting beat trying to win as what I witnessed on sunday. I def wont go back until there are drastic changes ,why not everybody  go and watch our hurlers  trying to beat wexford or Dublin instead  rather than the footballers trying to keep the score down.  sadly I met a few antrim supporters on sunday who were hoping that we would get beat by 10 points or more so as change would be forced straight away.
