Is the championship in Antrim not a bit of a formality this year? A mate of mine was telling me PG1 are 4/6 to win Antrim and only 9/2 for ulster. Seems short to me. Kilcoo and Glenn wont be easy beat

I take it you are looking click bait?

We blew yet another lead last night to end up with a draw, probably a lucky one at that.

8 points up at one point in the first half, then changed tactics and went conservative, retaining possession, when St Galls were there to be put out of sight.

That extra point would have been very valuable.

It has been a season of poor decisions and missed opportunities and I fear the worst.

St Endas next week is a must win or we are gone.


Sw yous 2-2 to 0 up after 10mins  , how did you lose that lead

Is Quinn big Eddie's son?

Best of luck to the team today. No matter what happens been a big year. Hopefully get another day out of it too.

No. Eddie would be his uncle, he's a son of Martin

Any team news yet?

Antrim: Michael Byrne; Patrick McCormick, Peter Healy, Eoghan McCabe; Dermot McAleese, Declan Lynch, Marc Jordan; Eunan Quinn, Cathal Hynds; Patrick McBride, Adam Loughran, Ruairí McCann; Ronan Boyle, Ruairí McCann, Dominic McEnhill.

Subs: Luke Mulholland, Cormac McGettigan, James McAuley, Barry McCormick, Gerard Walsh, Colm McLarnon, Conor Hand, Joseph Finnegan, Conhuir Johnston, Odhran Eastwood, Calum Higgins.

From preview on GAA.ie. Understand there was another ACL injury on Tuesday night at training

Why is mcGettigan not starting

That would have to be the youngest midfield pair in inter county football at present, 19 and 20.

No bus from cargin going down id say. . Sulkers

Plenty of Cargin supporters there today getting behind the. Saffs tbf

Andy has a habit of tweaking the published first 15, expect to see Deccy Lynch start tomorrow, very much needed for his know how at this level against a very physical Carlow team

Doesnt matter how many Cargin have missing. Their depth of squad is unreal. Best squad in the county by a distance.

But is the quality there? Older players are all hanging on and well past it.
Surely if the quality was there they'd have more starting county players?

We know the quality we have, don't need any starting county players to be told how good we are.

Just asking btw, I'm not overly familiar with the younger players.

Andy mcentee must see something
Three players up with him who haven't started a senior championship game yet for cargin

Does that suggest quality or does it say something about McEntees judgement and love for big men?
Anyway, my point still stands. Very few Cargin players starting on the first 15.

Hearing county sent one of our own youngsters home last night out for a long time.........

Who was that ?

As a novice in this chat I am starting to see problems within the politics of clubs on this forum. We need to all build together and get this show back on the road, can I ask why is there no ex county footballers involved in underage setups? Every other county has this nailed on

Aaron Douglas
Sean mcgreevy
Tony Convery
John kelly
Owen Doherty

All involved , maybe more I don't know of

Also remember 3


young Cargin lads have joined the panel

Johnson, kelly and quinn

Andy has picked things up really well despite a dozen absentees and half a dozen injuries.

The man has practically  built a new squad, and achieved targets for the year, how hard can it be for some people to be gracious enough to say well done and keep it going.

He's a shitebag if you ask me stringing young fellas along too

iTs hard to get this right I'd say for the manager, seems a few lads only in there to help training numbers then you look at Ronan Boyle who never got a sniff during the league but has got his opportunity now in the TT cup and grabbed it with both hands, has been excellent in last two games.

Lads, myself and a few like-minded saffron folk had a discussion, we got onto the topic of the 'look good, feel good, play good.' theory.

Opinions on the saffron outfit changing the shorts to mainly saffron with white stripes, instead of white shorts with saffron stripes? Was told there was tension in camp due to this years gear, things said such as 'the training tops are drowning us' or 'how can u call these skinny bottoms?' and its understood players aren't happy with how they look on the pitch in compared to your Derrys or Tyrones.

Is this an issue that needs dealt with? or typical modern day footballer bulls***

Yep definitely a major issue, but pales in comparison to the fact that the grass in not as green in Corrigan as it is in Healy Park or Owenbeg!!

Down with drew from the 1/4 of UMFC, conceded game, never seen that happen before.

??
Pretty sure one team got eliminated after the round robin games and it was them.

You are probably right, couldn't believe they would do that

Down with drew from the 1/4 of UMFC, conceded game, never seen that happen before.

Clubs were made aware last week via email there would not be promotion. The first they made aware of it, despite what was discussed and agreed at CC

I remember this being talked about a few months back

Bit of chat around league restructure, div 1 10 teams, that would change a lot I think, a fair margin for error and also experiment at the current time in a 13 team league, bring it down to 10 would change a lot of managers outlooks
