How so ? Can you explain how the county u20 were a "pub team" or is this just another of your click bait lines like you X account ?

I wouldn't pay much attention Saffs, this board clearly has a handful of guys who have either been slighted by a manager or are jealous of certain individuals achievements or individuals appointed to certain roles.

A stronger looking line-up for todays game if the Antrim posting is accurate. Eunan Walsh at midfield and Cathal Hynds at full back gives much better balance.

Nail on the head.

Two more points today, we could finish on 8 points after a disasterous start to the season.

Plenty of good individual performances and there was intensity in the tackles that were noticably absent in previous games.

Looks like management have turned things around, credit where its due.

100%

That performance was better in my opinion than last weeks but it was also a cold night! Called in to the crosskeys for a victory pint

Well done players and management credit where it's due

Good result by Antrim. Things taking  bit of shape now.

2 wins in a row will build confidence. Still plenty to play for.

Peter Healy back would make a noticable difference too. Good to see him in the warm up.

Jinny starting to settle in and look much more like his Cargin version. Paddy McAleer got his hand on some ball, and there were no stand out negative performances, everyone put in a shift.

GAA is ALL about pride of place. We have often been in div 4...but never have we been rooted to the bottom. Thankfully we are up and running and hopefully at the start of a progress curve.

Is it strange that after the last 2 matches there has been about 4 or 5 posts afterwards regarding the games, but the 3 matches before that it was hard to keep up in here?

Negativity gains more posts than the positivity

It's an Irish thing

Personally I'm scratching my head as to how it has flipped, what has changed, is it players or management.

We should be beating Waterford next but not getting carried away as while not bottom. 3rd from Bottom is still a job of work to do).

A lot of previous comments came off the back of player departures, very reasonable
for a lot of debate when well liked players step away.

[Saffsof82]

A few things seemed to have changed from the start of the campaign . We are a lot more compact and solid in the middle of our defence, we are kicking the ball more and not running the ball from defence into a very slow ponderous attack, and a few players starting in positions that are more natural too them , and starting ryan and eunan made a big difference.

some new players in has helped, forward players starting to gel, others players starting in proper positions and the spine working with each other.
