Antrim Football Thread

[Milltown Row2]

Was it clubs with county players that asked for this format?

The two down/one up is for one year to rectify the odd no. of teams in div1. League structures will be reviewed / revamped in Sept 23.  Probably revert to one up/ down for 2024.

Two down / one up in 23 was proposed by a Div 2 team , with aspirations of promotion!

Restructuring will always generate annoyance, having been a player and manager when it worked against me in the past I understand that frustration, you can't please everyone. But always grand to have a villain to blame

Hands up, I gave dogs abuse and the one that got me was mid season!!!

I'd say both clubs won't care what's said about it. They'll use the league to try these kinda systems out especially without the county men.

Maybe not the most appealing style of Football.

I seem to remember All Saints trying to play the same way last year in the playoff,that worked well ...

I blame the ref and the linesman for that defeat. 👀

Defeat or style of play  !! If the manager could have influenced his team from the sidelines he'd have done a better job

Lot of thought and pre planning goes into presentation of fixtures....e.g. Cargin are set to host Galls Sunday at breakfast time whilst our under 17s are to set out for Belfast to meet up with Brigid's.....for a 12.00 throw in....

a greater lack of influence would suit ballymena better

Normalise 10am throw ins!

Absolute pile of sh!te.

I'll do 11am and that's my final offer. Some job getting done and dusted early.

Cargin v St Galls stopped because of a bad injury. Hopefully the fella is OK

Wishing the young lad from St Galls well, horrible to see, could hear the crack. Never nice.
Not pretty football in early March, never mind at 10am in the morning, on a lighter note
how will the Downeys take to Antrim Div 2 football in 2024 that's the big question 🤣

 Wishing the young lad from St galls all the best with what sounds like a bad injury.
Any odds for championship yet? Hard not to be taken by pg1 start to the season. They will be hard to beat this year and are most likely favourites at this stage

[EOC1923]

Yes lump on them, put the mortgage on it

Indeed the Bannsiders look the real deal.......

Serious double fracture, hopefully for him he comes through this without much long term problems.

Looks clean enough break so hope that makes it better
