Antrim Football Thread

[SaffronOak]

It's been mentioned a few times here but I havent really seen a definitive answer.  Are Dunloy relegated to Intermediate next year?

There's no point being stupid if I don't show it every so often!

Twas indeed the Laverty Shield, not the Cup. Congrats to Glenravel, always good to have something at the annual dinner.

Ach now I wouldn't begrudge the referees getting into games FOC. Where would be be without them!

Outsider looking in - were Minor A and B finals played at same time yesterday chaps?

Yeah they were both at 12pm, minor games are at 12pm on a Sunday all year in both codes so the semis and finals are the same. Not saying it has to be this way but that's they way they schedule them 

Cheers chap. Bit weird for the odd die hard that may have wanted to watch both but no biggie I suppose

But then again it is a biggie, why the hell are we doing this to ourselves and our games.

A minor final deserves to be an event, why not get on in Dunsilly under the lights make a deal of it.

Same with the hurling, seems they couldn't wait to get it over and done with.

Why not promote them and try and do something different with them than just throwing them on a random Sunday at a crap time of the day.

Killing the thing and no one to blame but ourselves.

Well, didn't like to turn it into a Derry Antrim thing lol but yes found it strange. Surely it be no major issue to have them as standalone, as a Twitter follower just thought it strange the updates coming at same time, surely the lads deserve their own bit of spotlight come a final

You were doing well to get twitter updates on any of our games at the weekend     

[paddyjohn]

I see an our PRO making a complete show of himself at the weekend going a bit of arguing with a few lads.

Get a grip ffs.

i don't like saying this but he's terrible. To play devil's advocate it is not something one person should be doing.

yeah jibba jabba derry not fantastic. Down and Tyrone both great.

[marty34]

My take on it is do counties not 'do' Twitter on the games as they want people to buy the stream instead?

[imtommygunn]

what about any of the minor finals or any of the hurling finals or the intermediate hurling semis? Very very little on them.

I understand it's a one man band and he's got a full time job and still plays a bit but surely it's time to ask for some help. I counted 6 PROs at the game yesterday who I saw walking in. Give them access to the county page for that day and we can get it sorted. Instead he enters into an argument and makes himself look silly.

On Twitter. I think the posts have been deleted now. They were from his personal account but he's blocked a few lads from the county one.

Bring back Sean Kelly.

[Take the Mark]

Probably a thankless task and a post that all antrim gaels were spoiled by when Sean was in that role.

Portglenone are 5/2 with paddy power for Sunday. There'll be a couple of Ports players who will get stuck into that with the bookies
