[NatSoSaff]

Painful is an understatement.

I can't even see bannside coming up with anything optimistic after that  scoreline

Why have Antrim club leagues started so early? Also, is it not shambolic having the league starting on the same day the county is actually playing? League games at 10am the next couple of Sundays as well.  How come Antrim county board hate club football?

We are a hurling county.....have been for a long time....simple as....

Seems to be that way,  would any other county in Ireland have started playing league club football yet bar Antrim? I could be wrong but it seems much earlier certainly than any other county in Ulster?  League games at 10am next couple of weeks as well is just downright disrespectful is it not?

When one team is regularly in div 3 or 4 and the other is in div 2 or 1 that generally gives ya (if ya are clever) an idea where to put your eggs?

Why? What actual impact does it have on the senior county team?

Was speaking to someone today at 10am and he was glad their game was that early

Why or how are 10am games disrespectful?

1 win in 7 under Mcentee in all Competitions. Grim.

There were positive signs last week but today the wheels came off in glorious fashion. Players downed tools.
I can't remember a hammering like it and it'll have done serious damage, no doubt about it.

A manager who presents a team to be so impressive against Down, Tipp and Fermanagh, (we created 3 goal chances against Offaly too that should have been enough to clinch the points) must be sitting in Meath right now thinking the same thing.

I may well be in a minority and I'm only one opinion, but like Cork beat Limerick by 24 last week in Div 2, or Liverpool beat Man Utd 7 - 0 earlier this evening, I prefer to take the view that in any given season you'll get a couple of results that completely buck the trend, either in a positive way (we could have beat Tipp by 15 away) or like today when we were against a seasoned Div 2 team and we were depleted by injuries. Thats on top of the well documented list of unavailables.

Things haven't changed in that we need to go to Longford in our last game and get a result to have a chance of staying up. Same as hurlers against Laois. That's where we are at, sensationalism or faux surprise won't change that.
