[Níl a fhios agam]

any update on further managerial appointments in clubs this year?

I believe Naomh Brid and Casements have both strengthened their squads with new players on board for 2025. If so i see them both capable of going a step further than last year if the reports are true.

So if you cant produce footballers, just go out and sign footballers?

Two new favourites for the championship it seems.

[Gaelic man]

Do you know the names of these players?

[Hoof Hearted]

How reliable can we take dates and formats now, saying as the outlined draw for last year's championship changed after quarter finals.

Whats new about that, sure havent both clubs done the same the past X amount of years. Portglenone with players from neighbouring clubs across the Bann and St Brigids with men from near and far.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

[Take the Mark]

Any truth to the rumour that LD were playing the big soccer player under a teammates name on the team sheet? To stay under the radar from his soccer club. If true, that opens a whole new can of worms.

Ok Caesar

Big game coming up on Sunday, Clare will provide a proper opening test!

On another note I believe Ulster Council are angling to deprive us of our right to home venue when we host Armagh in Corrigan Park in the Ulster Championship.

Surely they can't be serious?? Antrim officials need to be strong and stamp out any such notion before this gathers pace.

[BigGreenField]

With a new manager bounce for Clare, Antrim will need to come out of the blocks  firing. Hoping the new rules have forced a rethink to a speedier transition from front to back from what was fairly laboured at times previously. With rules no clue how it can go.

Need to tell Armagh they'll be togging out   at Corrigan come hell or high water. No negotiation.

I'd say UC want to get as much cash in as possible now...after losing out on the Mc Kenna Cup.

[SaffronSports]

Is there a rule that says grounds must be so big in Ulster Championship? If not, tough.

Whats the full story behind this BS?  surely it cant just be about attendances?    and if it goes ahead are we to concede home advantage to Armagh, and the foreseeable future championship games?
