Ulster Championship 2025

[bennydorano]

Disappointing second half. Game never in the balance.

Well McGeeney  & Cassidy tried to keep it interesting for the neutrals.

[gallsman]

Corrigan Park or nowhere. 

A far, far better occasion than it would have been in Newry.

[Armagh18]

Where were those Antrim forwards in the league? Unreal kicking in fairness to them.

[Milltown Row2]

That is not a strong Armagh 15 on the field at the moment.

Not great depth then?

If it was the first team score would have been much higher.

Aye, and if your granny had balls she'd be your granda.

If Antrim can be in front for 35 plus minutes then regardless of what team Armagh put out, if they play anywhere near that they'll have a shorter summer than last year

The same thing was probably said after the Down game last year. Antrim were in front after 35 mins not in front for 35 mins. They put in a good performance, not to take anything away from them. Antrim are not a D4 team should have a much better county team. It's a marathon not a sprint, Armagh were never going to show what their capable of in this game or risk injuries. How many Armagh players went off in that game as blood sub or injured?

It's certainly a bit of a gamble playing this way, some players could get caught cold in the next game.

I was just having that discussion, our preferred first 15 hasn't played together all year (Rian excluded), can't just throw them out the next day v Tyrone and hope for the best -

You could argue winning by 11 points shows quite a decent level of depth considering the turnover of players from last year.

A shorter summer than last year? Unless they go back to back, which no Ulster team has done since 1961, they yes, you'll be proven correct. Well done.

[Milltown Row2]

You were playing a team that hasn't got past the first round in 200 years and now playing in division 4 next year. 12 points was the handicap and the bookies not to far wrong with that.

We put up a decent score and a bitta fight till we gassed out, we can be happy with that

Need to be consistent. McBride might not win anything but he is a player to build a team around, if he sticks around.

McBride is already in his early 30s.

Yeah he has played more than 100 games for Antrim.

[Pub Bore]

When you come from a county like Antrim, it's very hard to understand some of the attitude from Armagh posters

The only Antrim player to have played in Casement, according to the BBC. Good player, but not really the future.

Antrim weren't in front for 35+ minutes. We will have had one eye on later in the summer and peaking for then. Antrim will have out everything into that game. I was impressed by then. I expected them to give us a game for 20/25 mins. I'd love to see Antrim football rise form the doldrums. It baffles me why they are where they are.

Will also add that Cassidy was a big leveller in that game today. Brutal ref

McQuillan looked a decent player inside for Antrim when got on ball. What is the story with Adam Loughran good operator but seems to have played little to no football this year.
