Ulster Championship 2025

People were saying Antrim only stayed in touch because of their two pointers

The amount of injury feigning and yapping from Armagh was frankly embarrassing. No need for it given the obvious talent and power in the team, but never saw the like of it. Soccer style yaps.

Antrim stayed in touch because they played well

Antrim stayed in touch because they played well

Which was my point ..as I said others were highlighting the two pointers

Calm down lads.. It was Armaghs B team.

Look at the players on the line and not even in squad.

Is this a joke? I'm genuinely asking as I can't be arsed checking the teams again.

Near enough a b team. Think of starters today only Grugan, Murnin, Mackin, McCambridge and TK who came off very early started the all ireland. 4 championship debuts.

Happy with that, but obviously improvement needed for the next day.

Armagh breezed into the semi-final of the USFC today.

 And they also looked like a team that's going to win it.

That might be a bit premature, Tyrone or Donegal are much better than Antrim.

I seen somewhere that the last 11 times an Ulster county won the all Ireland only one of them won the Ulster championship the following year (Tyrone 2009). I think the last time before that was down in 1962.

Makes you think how hard it was particularly back when it was straight knockout for an Ulster county to reach the all Ireland semi finals compared to the likes of Kerry who could have beat Waterford and limerick to reach it.

Don't know what game you were at.
Can't speak for all of the incidents but Barry McCambridge got absolutely milled 10 yards from where I ws standing 2 seconds after he'd gotten rid of the ball.
Cassidy/ linesman and 2 umpires and not one of them managed to see it.

Sickens my hole that stuff. Soupy was pathetic. But Antrim got away with one or 2 late ones

Soupy is the only one I can think off. Seen the McCambridge one. There were a couple of others also

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

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

Antrim do nothing at underage. Thats where they should be focusing. All blood and thunder today in first half, but that was to be expected playing under McEntee and the venue stance. Armagh still missed 3 or 4 goal chances in the first half.

Is there a reason they do nothing at underage? I assume you mean coaching, putting structures in place etc

Soupy may have overacted but there were 4 or 5 players with bloodied faces. Assuming it was all self inflicted.

Not from Antrim, but you only have to look at their results at underage that they are well off the pace. They never have schools doing much in McCrory Cup either. Better structures.

Paying outside managers like Andy McEntee is grand for a few years but he can only do so much when there isn't much foundation.

Who were these 4/5 men with bloody faces?
