Antrim Football Thread

[SaffSpot]

Was very impressed with the minors on Saturday. Sé Ferris coming off the bench offered something different and a driving force. Callum Gribbin only coming back from injury and he looked relatively sharp in the second half after being introduced and took some courage to take his shot from just inside the 45 to get the equaliser.

Great signs for these young lads who will take great heart from that result going forward into the championship. They are guaranteed a QF since being in the group of 4.

Well done Tony, Lawrence and to all involved. Great to see the level of organisation behind this, probably 8 or 9 of a management team with nothing left to chance and shout out to Paddy Kelly who's doing superb work behind the scenes.

You cant underestimate the influence of Saffron Vision in all this and one of their main successes being the establishment of Saffron Business Forum which is a big driver in ensuring the funds are in place to enable our squads are properly prepared.

We are still a long way of winning silverware, but a lot of essential boxes are starting to be ticked!

Yeah like the trip to Waterfoot for the senior footballers, you need some serious financial backing for stuff like that

The county couldn't give a toss about any level of football in this county

Donegal had a 3rd choice team hardly going to risk boys a week out from championship, says alot about Antrim tbh

Have you got the teams?
Why on earth would Donegal bother playing a 3rd team 10days before C'ship? Surely it was their starting team to play Down.

According the Antrim Strategic Plan 2020-2022, one of their main aims of the plan was to develop a fit for purpose Antrim fixture programme, it's now 2023 and we saw 10am throw ins and leagues starting in first week of March. Does this mean that that "fit for purpose" notion goes out the window? It also says that games are regular, meaningful and meets the needs of all patrons. Not quite sure how footballers start the leagues in early March with 10am throw ins but the hurlers start the leagues at the end of March and every week start at 2pm
