Not on Facebook MR, got more than enough addictions.

Pm me the link Bud.

When I'm on....it would be remiss not to bid farewell to Frankie Quinn on his last day officiating as An Runai of Coiste Contae Aontroma. There would be a good book in Frankie at this stage. May he enjoy the next chapter of his career or retirement. Wouldn't have been an easy gig!

Machiavellianism?

Being county secretary of any county throws up its problems, you'll never please everyone, with it being a paid job it also (for some reason) gives people a need to criticise them.

Hopefully Frankie enjoys his retirement and good luck to whoever follows him.

Wouldn't be a job I'd put my hand up for

What is going on in Antrim?

I hear Gaelfast is all but defunct, the better coaches have given up and left and now Frankie throws the towel in...

Love to see a breakdown as to where and how the funding was spent

What has been the issues with Gaelfast? I hear a lot of people complaining about it? What exactly is their role?

Cargin with a strong win last night over PG1 , didn't get down

was it a case of Cargin very good or PG1 very poor?

bannside · April 28, 2025, 10:37:18 AM

Bit of both wouldn't be far off the mark. Cargin much more clinical up front, had the game won before half time. Mick still making Cargin tick.

Early days, but if I had just landed from the moon to the game last night I would say there was a huge gulf between the teams.

imtommygunn · April 28, 2025, 10:57:22 AM

many missing on either side? Still hard to see past Cargin as strong favourites come c'ship.

Yeah agreed , still operating at a very high level and probably missing a few key men from the line up I saw on the saffron gael as were PG1 to be fair but Cargin seem to be firing well.

Cargin's strength in depth and the competition for places that creates is probably the main reason they are so far ahead of the rest. The scary thing is this is a Cargin team in transition and still ahead of the pack

How do you mean in transition? I would still argue the older lads are the main reason they are still well gelled together and link and they have not lost too many of them yet seeing their team this year.

I do think they will not be the same side when the older lads finally decide to hang them up not saying they wont be up there but maybe not as dominant
