Antrim Football Thread

Jeez Flanker I know Antrim GAA is daft but it aint that daft:

Total 30 players including those on the pitch
7 non players and 2 club officials = 39 per club

CD 39 times 2 is 78
Take the 30 on the pitch leaves the 48

If they are all inside the wire are you not asking for trouble

Fair enough my bad

Was at an Ulster Minor game in July, the manager alone was allowed to stand in a designated area in front of his dugout. Everyone else had to stay in the dugout. If he wanted to speak to anyone else he went back to the dugout. Some teams here take the absolute piss on this issue but I blame our authorities for not clamping down.

Interesting ref choice for the PG1/LD game, if the players show him respect there won't be an issue.

Look it's the only way a young ref can get experience is by getting big games..... a couple of strong experienced linesmen and umpires can make his job a lot easier.

Put the madmen along the line back behind the line (not suggesting one club more than anyone else or this game more than any other) and if they don't behave, outside the wire all together. Set the tone early, give a quick warning, be consistent and he might get away with it.

The reality is players and management sometimes set out to "play" the referee and there's no doubt some clubs are better than it than others. Strong and decisive management should nip any of this nonsense in the bud. Experienced referees usually find a way of doing their job whilst maintaining respect of all.

Speaking of referees, no coincidence that the man who caused mayhem in the first pg1 and ahoghill game hasn't refereed in senior championship since!

Couldn't agree more BS, however this will be the game with the most bite at the weekend, I would have thought maybe a swap with the refs doing the Aghagallon game and your game would make more sense and Conall still gets experience- however are the LD men concerned that they cannot bully Sean L as handy

What I'm saying is I am not surprised that after such an appalling performance he hasn't got another senior game. TBF I was talking to Ahoghill men about this and they agreed it was the worst performance they have seen in years.
