LD going to have to do it all again...

[paddyjohn]

Just highlights the need for a fourth official at championship games, every other club championship has fourth officials...

We struggle to get refs to do the games never mind a 4th official.

Personally I think Creggan should take their salt. They weren't good enough to beat LD on the day so let it go.

Reminds me of the bizarre scenario a few years ago when Aghagallon progressed to the final after the referee decided to play two periods of extra time in the semis. Thankfully sporting integrity was displayed on that occasion.

Will be interesting to see how this new scenario plays out.

No chance that will happen.

Sporting integrity has left the scene of the Antrim club season.  Between Creggan's moaning, Lamh Dhearg maybe playing an extra man, Portglenone's objections to the set draw, St Brigids objection to the new open draw, the mess of the championship relegations/promotions and the circus of the Div 1 entrants, League finals and semi finals,    its fair to say its no wonder we are where we are.    Complete disarray.

Again, bollox. The game was level. The extra man they had presented the opportunity in a counter attack to have an extra body we could numerically never match, hence the free player for the score.

Creggan are fair enough to be aggrieved and nobody is assuming foul play from LD but the yapping done about changing structures to suit teams has completely eroded the integrity.

Look at the shambles div 1 is and the fact it goes:

Div 1: 16 teams - Play each other once - 15 games
Div 2: 10 teams - Play each other, top/bottom split play again - 13 games
Div 3: 8  teams - Play each other H&A - 14 games

We've three completely distinct league structures and promotion/relegation pathways because certain teams didn't want to take their medicine and they're still changing things on the fly.


I'd say just double down and fold the reserve teams into league structure and expand the league like they were back in the day.

Creggan will get the offer of a replay if they prove LD had 16 men on field for the score in question, that is the rules, bit if Cahair O Kanes description of incident is right Jesus that looks petty appealing that. Not sure Creggan will come out of this well no matter what happens now

Can we get a box of tissues delivered for DK?

Could do with one or 2 boxes maybe. Micko Herron & Paddy C at 40 + years of age destroying the defence of Creggan and them complaining about it. I'd sit this one out if I were Creggan.

Which one of the two was playing as the spare man when LD had 16 men on the pitch?

I would be asking more about the two fellas from Kickams who marked them for 80 plus minutes 

[NorthWestAntrimGael]

I have a long standing expertise in   Antrim Football, and have to say if Creggan had 17 playing they still wouldn't have beat lamh dearg
