A different ref wouldn't have changed the outcome, but he gave Armagh some very soft frees and very questionable decisions when our lads getting fouled. Plus the over carrying rule only applied to one team.
A couple of very harsh ones in the first half especially

Some harsh decisions definitely went against Antrim on a number of occasions

Some would say the grammar is getting no better either

Hurson was poor today start of the second half he moved the ball at least 20 yards up the pitch on an Armagh free, unfortunately, like the Whitehill ref the game has to be all about him

Couldn't agree more. Very frustrating. Don't think anyone saying that it would have changed the game/result but that really was an example of one rule for one and one for another. I do believe that smaller teams get penalised a bit harder than the bigger ones..."ach sure they're bound to be overcarrying...".
Sweeney's black card incident was a mistimed shoulder and not a trip (in my view)...down the field a few minutes later and Armagh dragged someone (Conor Murray??) down, which is exactly the reason the black card was brought in.

Decent, composed performance in first half...second half might always have been coming. Fairly well trodden view but promotion was the aim. Need to be playing at a higher level more consistently.

The O'Neills of Armagh look good and they just have too much back up on a number of fronts.

We're on an upward curve and it would have been a good year for a tip at the qualifiers - the more time the players have with O'Neill and McGinley the better.  Hopefully they stick around for a while and keep building. And hopefully they'll keep trawling for new blood.  The patronising is sickening, but until we get a few results under our belts over a number of seasons we'll always be Cinderella.  Put up a better fight than Down and Fermanagh.

Antrim undoubtedly on an upward curve and with a goalkeeper of the calibre of their opponents today would have been much closer. As for comparisons with Down, they have a massive advantage as far as their midfield pairing. Also their forward unit is superior to Fermanagh's current choice.

The good thing though is we made a few friends amongst the neutrals, and despite shipping 4-15 I don't think Pat Spillane will be having his annual rant. First half 9/10 as good a 35 mins as I've seen for a long time.

Second half 3/10. We ran out of steam, fresh legs obviously needed, changes too slow to happen. Why was Ryan Murray taken off, that was a very strange call as he was still going strong! Was that decision made before the game? Sweeney looked good, Conor Small too when introduced. But too little too late, so many were flagging at that point.

A lot of boys died out there with their boots on. Some great individual performances and if we manage to tweak our defensive policy a bit we can make proper progress next year.

Bring on the club scene now.

Elite panel of 16 refs getting paid @12k each with constant briefings lead by Pat McEnaney - probably spelt that wrong too!

Is that wage on top of their expenses? Is there a link to that? Would like to see these top 16.. I take it that's 8 football 8 hurling?
