Antrim Football Thread

[Cnoc Bán]

Why do a lot of the Belfast clubs not enter teams in the U19 competition?.  Think there are only 5 entered.  The likes of LD, St Johns, St Galls dont have a team entered, big senior clubs.  What is the reason for it for us who wouldnt be clued in?

A new competition and a new age grouping is set to commence with an under 19 football league to get up and running tonight 8th May.A total of 15 clubs have entered the competition and the leagues will consist of two divisions. A total of seven teams are placed in the first division with eight in number involved in the second

Sooner we get back to Under12,14,16 and 18 the better and move minor games to away from Sundays as well.

Hear Hear!

It would be good for the fixture organisers to consider that U15s have GCSEs as well.

This year they have matches during the exam timetable but all others their age, U17 boys, U16 girls have a break.

Probably a lack of forethought based on U14s not having exams and them using U15s as the comparable age group.

If we moved back to even ages, then U16 and U18 covers all those with serious exams so easier to plan a break.

You'd wonder who makes these decisions.

Anyone know the score in Ahoghill / Creggan game or if it took place, dont see the score on the Antrim website?

I believe Ahoghill won by a point, although I think it ended controversially, Creggan man got a mark and ref blew the final whistle, or something along those lines.

Thought something was up, would that stop the result going up though?

Ahogill v Kickham's ended in controversy Ahoghill led by a point a minute into time added.
Creggan lad was sanctioned by ref (Mc Dermott), refused to give name and the official terminated the game early.

CCC will adjudicate.......points awarded......and...

[Would ye whist]

Is that really enough to terminate a game?

Surely someone at it could give us the right way of this, save any speculation

Have heard similar comment from both sides......

3 minute warning I'm assuming here, if someone refuses to adhere then the ref can blow game up early. Thought that rule was well known enough

Hearing from a Clooney source a 'team mentor' had been dismissed from the playing area and decided to return was the prime reason for termination.....

MR, are you seeing the various disciplinary bodies clamping down a lot more this year on these types of things?

I get the distinct feeling there's a lot less tolerance of abusing officials, indiscipline and rightly so IMO.

TBF not enough of the ref's are doing it, team officials that are abusive should be asked to leave play, venturing on to the pitch to give you 'their opinion' should be enough to ask him to leave the pitch.

I did a game the other night, first 2 minutes (if even) a player was chirping in my ear I stopped play and gave him a yellow card, in fairness he never opened his mouth the rest of the game.

I've zero tolerance to that shite, I get it, I'm a player manager and supporter, but its getting out of order now.

I watched an underage ladies game last week - the abuse that the ref took from one of the mentors was absolutely disgraceful. The ref asked him twice to keep quiet and let him ref the game. Finally the ref snapped and put him outside the wire - the abuse continued until the mentor in question own daughter told him to keep quiet.
