Really going to have to look at the streaming for club matches next year. Miles behind others like Tyrone and Armagh and Derry in terms of better coverage of all grades, and the coverage itself.

Jerome does great work Camera wise, but feel he shouldn't be let near a microphone.

It's hard to ignore how disappointing Jerome Quinn's live coverage of Antrim GAA has become. Too often the commentary feels rushed, lacking in real analysis or insight, and the professionalism simply isn't where it should be for our county.

Antrim GAA deserves better than surface-level play-by-play — players, clubs, and supporters deserve coverage that captures the intensity, tactics, and stories that make our games what they are.

Instead of settling for low-quality output, why not raise the standard? Proper preparation, sharper analysis, and a genuine commitment to showcasing all aspects of Antrim GAA would transform the coverage. If we're serious about growing our games and inspiring the next generation, the live stream should reflect the pride and quality of our county, not undermine it.

Are you giving off about Jerome, Antrim or both?

Jerome's not good on the comms. Ok we can all agree on that but he's getting paid and I'm sure he's happy enough with that. The video quality is good but unless he's going to pay people to come in and do the commentary it'll always be subjective to what people want.

Jerome doesn't understand football enough from a coaching perspective to give sharper analysis but is analysis really what people want to hear about during a game?

There was once a famous football commentator who said "you call what you see"

Analysis is for after the game or maybe half time not during the game when really they should be trying to communicate what's going on to the audience not give opinions

It's partly both, Jerome is one of the best in the business at camera work etc but it sometimes feels like it's a chatting match he is looking half the time when he is on comms. Hurling is particularly frustrating when he is talking over Johnny and being devils advocate in a lot of cases, in particular when there are big calls.


I was more getting to the point that surely there are other people around the county that could do the same the way Tyrone have, where they can live stream most matches at all grades and I'd think if you where to pay a £100 package for all matches (excluding finals possibly) I'm sure a lot would pay that.

Think in terms of social media I think Saffron Gael are the best about in terms of social media coverage.

Food for thought

Been off here a while and come back to the Cargin folk still having digs at other teams and being salty

How where Glenravel so close to Cargin the other night where they off the boil?

Aldergrove and ballymena will be a good game indeed

Well it becomes everyone at Intermediate's problem if you drop them down there. They're a better team than most at senior. The simple solution is to completely separate league and championship.

An even more simple solution is keep Dunloy in the intermediate until they decide to put more effort into the league. The special treatment given here is scandalous. Our reserves were told they couldnt enter Div 2 as the league structures were set in stone until 2026, then they discover Dunloy have been parachuted into Div 1. Only in Antrim

How to bring this back to poor old Cargin, sick of your negativity on this page. you do some whinging

Poor Cargin, any time I'm on here they are whinging about something

Bottom line is and I said it last week was that Cargin are had to win now, good team in Antrim but does not compare to the great st galls teams of the past..
Has to be a conveyor belt come through now in Cargin, and from what I can see a reign of dominance is up for grabs

If Cargin want to go further than first round exits in ulster every year then they have to change their approach. Way too defensively minded and only interested in containment instead of creating enough chances to actually win the game.
Errigal won pulling up because they scored 15 times and had maybe another 10-12 wides. Cargin score 8, only a few from play and less than 5 wides. That will never be good enough at that level. Handling was atrocious as well.

Completely agree they do not have the killer instinct in ulster

Are Cargin folding at the end of this season? That's a shame 🤣

Better opportunity than ever with no Glen in the comp and Cargin's key players not getting any younger unfortunately

Best of luck for all teams involved,
now or never for Cargin in Ulster.

Any further development on Creggan?

Our championships need an overhaul for next year. IHC a stand out. Groups of 5 and 6 teams. Groups starting on the 27th of July and running to the 21st of September!

What's the alternative? Half the clubs involved are dual so there needs to be an allowance for that. I think it's better this way than last year when they ended up squeezing in a Wednesday - Saturday game week while everything else was 2 week gaps across football and hurling?

alternative is have 12 teams with 4 groups of 3, top two go through, relegation playoff for last? absolute stupidity having matches that mean nothing towards the end of the group

100% agree with MR2, No right to turn our noses up at the Tailteann

Win, lose, draw.....

Cargin whinge.

Victim FC

A boy I was talking to recently made the point that Glenravel have a lot of good footballers that play a bit of hurling whereas the hurling side maybe need it to be the other way round.

I was at the match when they won junior. They lost to Glenarm a pile of times that season including a heavy loss in the Championship groups but they came with a plan that day, executed it perfectly and completely deserved their win. I also have great admiration for them punching up and trying to maintain Intermediate status when half the county wants to drop down tiers or divisions.

Also, as I mentioned Glenarm, they had a good win tonight to win the Countess of Antrim Cup.

Agreed, Con Magees are trying their best to keep hurling alive with pressures of football. Creggan in the same boat a lot of the year, if their footballers play they could be a match for most intermediate teams
