Cam down lads, we are not the same standards as limerick,Galway Tipp etc. we need to be competing at minor and u21 before we have those sort of aspirations. I'll take a deep run in Leinster with the view of adding a few more players for next year.

Dublin are a massive battle for us. They were well ahead of us in our game and we say we were tired etc but the championship game will tell us if that is a reality. We're massively improved being competitive with these teams and if we beat Dublin tbh I would be absolutely over the moon and if I'm honest very pleasantly surprised. I would say it's dublin +5 or so for that game by bookies odds. One game at a time.

All Ireland talk is either WUM stuff or pipe dream stuff.

Galway, Limerick and Tipp the 3 best with the likes of KK, Waterford etc below them. There's a massive gap between the top few and the next few and there's a massive gap from them to the rest.

Exactly,
If we could beat dublin in the leinster that would be incredible. If not, i think we would have a relegation play off against laois. If we won that, along with our league campaign this year and can bring on some quality young players that would be a hugely succesful year, and something to build on

Yeah it looks that way.

This used to be a place where we could have a civilised wise discussion about Antrim hurling.

Fact is we have improved.
Fact is we are still light years behind the next level.

The boys are progressing and things have played into our hands this year, Dublin in championship will be the yardstick and then again next year to see if we can retain Div 1 status.

Elliot, Walsh, McNaughton and Molloy will be definitely in the all-star nominations this year which is great. Id fancy us to take Dublin now based on Saturdays brilliant performance.

FFS if we are chinned in the first round by Dublin, two league (one drawn) games arent going to get you a nomination for anything. You might get an invite to the GL dinner but thats the height of it.

Can we catch a grip and get back to some sort of reality.

Antrim should go all out against Laois (who I expect to be ultra competitive) in preparation for Dublin. This is the last real chance to get in a good tough game. Unless they have some good challenge games lined up. You would want to be match sharp I think we have a decent chance against Dublin.

imtommygunn

I agree. For me we want to be building confidence by getting a win against Laois and also winning as many games as we lose in division 1. There's a two week gap to the Dublin game. For me the football like the hurling- league highest priority and championship a bonus.

Jesus wept. He's a wind up merchant. People who don't see through him are nearly as silly.

Tormund

I dunno, i dont think he is a wind up merchant, maybe just young or something, who knows

Where can Laois game be watched.  It's unlikely to be on TG4. I suppose GAAGO is best bet.

Yeah it's on GAAGO and can be purchased for £5. Always good camera shots and Commentary not too bad either.
