Antrim Football Thread

[Níl a fhios agam]

MR2 whats the story with the young galls lad Burns. I thought he was an exceptional talent. Is he injured, travelling or why is he not featuring in Saffron

[SaffronSports]

If we brought in Jim Gavin with Mickey Harte and Jack O'connor as assistants where would we be? Probably still division 3? I'm 40 and aside from a few years under Baker supported by our best ever club team in St Galls, we've been poor. That dates back to long before McEntee, long before this county board and quite a few before.

You could ask every Antrim fan on here and they'd give you a different reason and there's probably some truth in all of them. Loads of things need to be addressed and it goes right to the very bottom and until they are this nonsense will continue.

[Take the Mark]

Very harsh comments on some of the clubs there - Glenravel especially harshly spoken about considering they don't even have a starter on the team.

A lot of talk about who McEntee can or cannot get out to join the panel, how do people know who he invited to join the panel? Its clear to me hes after a specific type of player - 6 feet plus and can run all day. Of course there are one or two who don't fit that criteria but thats the general rule it looks, regardless of ability.

Its the managers job to improve the team - he isn't doing that.

As for any nonsense talked about players not wanting to play with eachother etc, complete balls. Try our neighbours in Armagh and Derry for that and you'll soon find it happens all over. But 'cliques' apparently... You'd know a thing or 2 about cliques MR.

Sorry to hit a nerve but that's the way it is, who's at fault well who knows and certain posters from certain clubs continually blaming the manager? Christ, its embarrassing

We as an Antrim team don't play traditionally as a team, Baker was probably the best to have gotten us to play as unit, even then there was maybe one or two lads that probably were not invested

So I'll ask you would you blame your club manager for players being sent off? 

[Níl a fhios agam]

id blame the ref to be honest if i was from the clubs you are referring to

[Take the Mark]

No not at all, the manager has no input whatsoever on the discipline of his players who take the field, course not

Is McGeeney responsible for Forker at the weekend?

Do you think he said, when Murphy comes on, few shoulders to draw attention to it then a headbutt.

Players can be silly bastards on their own sometimes.

Of course they can, no doubt about it.

We conceded over 30 to Offaly, but none of that can be apportioned to the manager apparently. And the all ireland champions are on the horizon, hopefully Armagh just turn up and look disinterested like they did a couple of years ago and only put 20 on us.

And Dunloy deserve to go up? Based on what? They finished 7th & 9th in the last 2 league seasons. Please make it make sense!

Agree with you here Gaels1789 , Naomh Eanna would be better taking their medicine a side clearly not cut out for div 1 , however you know what the county board is like !! Would not shock me if they worm their way back in.

Based on the fact is is well known they have one of the best teams in the county come championship time. Regardless of the fact where Dunloy enter division 1 , Naomh Eanna are nowhere near the quality and it is puzzling as to why they would question the decision

We lost two players... We beat Clare, silence on here  ,  narrow loss away to Fermanagh and hammered against Offaly who were BTW odds on favourites for the game in the first place and its

Just come out and say it.. Bring back Enda

The manoeuvrings around the leagues and last years championship draws are hard to fathom.  All about who you know.

[SaffronSports]

Dunloy should be in division 2 at best and that's only assuming they would have got out of div 3 which they should have been in last year.

No idea how daft you have to be not to realise that the championship and league should be separated completely and the leagues should be split into 3 equal amounts with two up and two down. This crap of picking divisions is a nonsense.
