  Double you down on those double standards you have going on there.

(FYI you deleted the post where you called me a st brigids fanboy. I have no affiliation whatsoever to them. I just find it not in great taste calling a team a "nasty outfit".)

I found them nasty the last two times we have played them. What's your problem with that fanboy

Nasty outfit in one comment.

I found your comment extremely poor in another

Brendan's ridiculing our hard working referees but comment you on that sure 👍

Sorry? Where did I ridicule or criticise a referee? Not at all and wouldn't do so.

How come Cathal McDermott was allowed to ref Cargin v Rossa when the club he represents is also in the group?

Surely there was plenty other games he could have done.

Didn't impact the game but just a point I thought should be made...

Not discussing the game, how many referee's do we have? Does he not deserve to do senior games?

If we stretch your view, the referee's from clubs in the other groups shouldn't be doing certain games because if a team finishes 2nd or 1st that'll have an impact in the knockout games and he did that in the full knowledge of blah blah blah! Christ, there's clutching and there's you!

It will be interesting to see if any suspensions handed out now or will it be brushed under the carpet
BT9 crew very mouthy and nasty is correct.
No linesmen at Rossa/Cargin game either McDermott reffed it well mostly and had his own umpires but it's a disgrace in a championship fixture not having linesmen in no other county would that happen maybe if games were staggered and not all at same time county would have more officials.

So now you agree with Brendan and we can move on.
Cargin's young talent bedding into senior football seamlessly and the old guard still around.  Perfect mix.  They'll be too good for anything else out there unless they're somehow caught on a bad day.

There is enough to ensure that ref's should not be officiating games where they could have an impact on their own club.

Surely that will relay on what Eamonn puts in his report? I do hear however that a certain Aghagallon referee could be in a bit of bother for his behaviour and for the avoidance of doubt I do not mean Gregory Walsh

I'd doubt that very much after one group game end of July

It's very hard to see Cargin being beaten. Creggan seem to have dropped a level and Portglenone while improving are probably a bit off Cargin's level.

Should Cargin not be looking beyond Antrim by this stage. They've have a few runs in Ulster now and they should be pushing on.

Seems lads on here are just content with winning Antrim and having the bragging rights in a local Antrim context.

Not all officials are available, I was away, few others I know were away and games were staggered over the 2 days allowing more people to watch, in the last round of games I'd imagine we'll try and have linesmen and 4 umpires. But you could have 20 officials at a game and some people would never be happy
