St Brides jusT can't get over the line in the minor with the final defeats mounting - Well done Cargin They must be doing serious work at Juveniles

Going to say this again for the craic. St Brides is a primary school. St Brigids is a GAA club

Agreed. I generally find Brendan quite positive and even-handed but that was shockingly biased from him today. The commentary wasn't helped by them talking over each other either.

Still it's a great service and these are small quibbles with an otherwise excellent initiative from Antrim. Thanks to all involved.

The commentary in the minor game is so anti Cargin. Congratulations Cargin

I think I was fair, acknowledging the great play from Cargin but without hiding that I wanted our lads to win. What do you expect?

There were two of us, each asked to concentrate on the club we  knew best. Neutrality in commentators is vastly overrated!

Cargin strong favourites for the minor. Only 4 NB players still in minor from last years final, i think the majority of Cargin are. Still, could be a good game.

Plenty of football entertainment for facebook fans this weekend. MFC & IFC on facebook tomorrow and the SFC final on Sunday.

Can we move off the topic of referees? I think its unfair on those who put their hand up to do it.

We have loads of potentially great games coming up this weekend, Junior semi, Senior reserve final, IFC final, minor final, senior final and other fixtures. Could be some terrific games. Weather looks to be playing along too. Thats what its about surely

I don't think anyone should be ruled out of giving their account just because of their status. Mistakes can be made, it is clear from the video there was no headbutt. Isn't it better that is resolved prior to the final rather than afterwards?

What if our Chairman happened was at the match and happened to have a good view of the incident? Should he then simply stay quiet because he is the Chairman? Surely an independent witness with a useful contribution to make can make it, regardless of position within the county.

On a related note, there was an email issued to clubs today regarding verbal abuse of referees and I think it is timely. The abuse of refs from players and sidelines is way beyond acceptable. It a wholesale thing now, even in juvenile games. There is no short term answer but the old 'give respect / get respect' isn't cutting it these days.

Casements were flat today, no zip or energy and despite being a point up with a quarter left, never at any stage got into third never mind fourth gear. Not entirely sure whether that was down to Creggan being better or us being flat/tired, but we never found a dominant spell in the game at any, stage were second best on a day where the better team won. Creggan looked fresher and more up for the game and I dont think Casements can have any complaints.

It looked like a straight red, in which case, very harsh. But maybe a second yellow. I assume a straight red means Mick misses the final. I hope not.

Shouldn’t this have been played on a pitch with floodlights?

No sign of CJ? Maybe injured on Sunday in the hurling?
