Antrim Football Thread

[harryR]

Are they all dual? Im sure be a welcome boost to st brigids hurling team if they are

Na just footballers. Lavey wouldn't have as many dual players as previous years. Could be wrong but I thought they where basically made choose one or the other

No harm lads, but the Downey's would make any team stronger. If anyone's club had the opportunity to get two/three county quality players into their team and making them stronger they would take that opportunity all day

There is a reason they have ended up where they have, not sure if any other club/ team would have entertained them in this way. St Brigids used to taking on outsiders as they are an emerging club.

does anyone know if you win the intermediate championship this year do you go straight up to Division 1?

Straight up to Senior championship normally, have they changed that this year?

Aye their dads fell out with the club. Can't be blaming them for something like that. They must be in a terrible position, friends all playing for Lavey and then their dad/uncle falling out. Really lose lose for them

Nothing new.
You need to win Div 2 League to gain promotion. Winning IFC gains inclusion in SFC in the next season.

Winners of div 2 has a play of this year v the 2nd bottom div 1.

Bottom div 1 automatically down to leave a 12 team div 1 next year.

So I heard any way

[Stillwater2]

That all changed last Monday night at the County meeting.

Bottom 2 automatically go down and only 1 up.

Changed to suit a few clubs

Play off gone then ? Hard to keep up !

[Hoof Hearted]

Antrim in a "changing the rules to suit certain clubs" shocker

[Milltown Row2]

Clubs will always suit themselves, this is a broken record to be fair!

I'm not totally against it though but you could lose a lot of league games because of county commitments and win 5 games in championship and go up!!

Will make the intermediate championship even more competitive

The county board are a shambles literally making it up as they go along

[Saffrongael]

I think they started with a "no promotion" stance in some leagues until a few clubs put forward some fairly simple, straightforward solutions 

[Stillwater2]

Clubs agreed at the workshop the Monday before that it would be 1 down and 2nd bottom will go into a playoff with top of the league below.

Couldn't be voted on as a workshop,  the following Monday a few clubs got together and presented different proposal. Then the carnage starred.

[NorthAntrim]

Madness to either have no promotion or a playoff with second bottom. Not a lot of motivation for clubs going into league. 1 up 2 straight down is the only way IMO
