Antrim Football Thread

[belfastsaff]

imo should be a role for pat shivers on that team when you see some of the other lads on it...

[imtommygunn]

Pity. I'd love to see the squad but the football and the hurling all seems very hush hush this year.

MR2 - are there any plans for referees to go out to clubs before the season and do an explainer on the new rules? Running my eye down the FAQs (linked below) and any referee is going to have some job this year!

It is totally unfair on referees. Bringing that many rules in at one time was such a stupid decision.

Heard that Sean Hurson done a bit with the clubs in Tyrone which was good forward thinking from them.  The issue again goes down to eliteism, Sean is an elite ref and will no doubt have the finger on the pulse as he knows he will get big games in Croker later in the year.  The same may not be the case for the referee who regular does Junior games and will be expected to do games with no impartial lines men, umpires etc.  Totally unfair on refs.

We are only doing the new rules ourselves there have been teams meeting from Croke and there is a new rules explanation section within the GAA website. We have our general in house rules test/chat soon, no doubt it might take a couple of meetings to finalise the findings and in some cases there has been amendments added to to the original and there are also questions still unanswered from CP..

A lot of the stuff that we have done has been opened for coaches and managers to attend also.

Not an overly strong Divison Three on paper alot of teams will fancy the top 2, but at the same time could be involved in a scrap to stay up.
