Another sorry episode to this saga, lets just get to the end of the season and pretend it was all a bad dream.

Serious re-think required moving forward.

Do the club County Board delegates not ratify the managers every year?

I don't think the appointment was made with anything other than the best intentions. The fact it has gone so pear shaped is probably down to a number of factors.

Point is learning needs to be taken on board and a clear plan set out to take it forward, rather than lurching from one appointment to the next and hope something magically happens.

You can't go blaming an individual when it's a collective decision.

I'd say Antrim are no different than Down, the CB appoint a committee to go looking for a manager and they come back with a proposal for the full county committee to ratify.

It's a combination of a few things. If you look at the physical conditioning of the better teams, too many of our players are not at the level required. Precocious talent doesn't prevail if you can't win a ball or stay on your feet when you get it.
It can't be a United camp if some are putting the work in and some not trying quite as hard.
We are getting what we ordered and if that's as good as it gets that's our new level.

Anyone read that article on Irish News?

Swear I checked that it wasnt April Fools Day.

Davy sacked then reinstated and the lads haven't got all their kit. 🤔

Strike I can't work out if they want the board ormanagement team gone, perhaps both. Definitely want gear to arrive. All a bit messy for mid season.

What is the script with the gear bit? Anyone know what the allowance is for players kit etc?

Seems to mention 'outstanding gear' so they would have got some earlier on but must have been getting some for the start of Joe Mc Donagh campaign.

It they were playing London this week-end, there would be some money on London I'd say.

Training, Playing & Leisure wear – Minimum Provisions
(for teams participating in the Sam Maguire, Liam Mac Carthy, Tier 2 and Christy Ring Cups)
a) As a core principle, it is important that players have adequate levels of gear to ensure proper
preparation and effective team identity.
b) Gear should be provided to all players on the panel as agreed between the County Committee &
Team Management
c) Buying/Sourcing Gear is the sole responsibility of the County Committee
d) New panellists should receive gear appropriate to the stage at which they join the panel
Pre-League:
Each county to have generic training gear (retained by County, washed and distributed to players
nightly) to include: togs, socks, training tops and windcheaters.
or
Where generic training gear is not provided and managed by the county for the pre-league panel, it
is the responsibility of the County Committee to ensure each player involved is provided with:
• 2 x pairs Training Socks and Shorts
• 3 x Training T-Shirts
• 1 x Gym Shorts
• 1 x Training Wet Suit (if not already received previous year or no longer useable from wear/tear)
League
Each County to provide for players on the league panel a minimum of:
• Half Zip Top
• T Shirt or Polo Shirt
• Skinny Pants or Tracksuit bottoms
• Jacket or Gillet (if not already provided the previous year or no longer useable from wear/tear)
Any item above may be swapped by agreement for a different garment
Championship
In addition to the above, for those on the Championship Panel (i.e. post May 1st), each County to
provide a minimum of:
Training Top, Shorts and socks
Travel Shorts
Other (league and championship)
Kit bags – Counties to make sure every player has a kit bag (replace as required)
Match Day Socks and Shorts – to be provided to all players
Gloves – to be provided to all players
Goalkeeper Gloves – 2 pairs from start of league (reimbursable expense up to €80 per pair)
Hurleys and Helmets – should be replaced when broken
Jerseys - Players can retain their jerseys after their last match in the Championship or league finals
Footwear – Counties should reach local agreement with players on the provision of footwear (3
items per year) giving consideration to sponsorship deals, local suppliers etc.; where this is not
possible, Counties should reimburse the vouched cost of footwear to at least €375 per player p/a.
Where Counties are providing footwear directly to players, the first two items should be received by
the panel no later than Feb 15th and the third item by the panel no later than May 1st
.
The agreed arrangements on footwear should be specified in the Charter.
__________________________________
It should be emphasised that all of the above are minimum requirements only. Counties may decide
to provide all of the gear above at the start of the year in consultation with their players.
In order to maximise available budgets, consideration should be given when considering certain
items listed above (e.g. Wet gear, Jackets etc) to ensuring all players are in possession of these items,
rather than necessarily replacing them for the entire panel each year. This should be particularly
relevant where there is no change of sponsor in a given year.




Done a bit of digging and found this on what players are entitled too. Tbf its mostly fair enough. Match kit and basic other stuff that they'll wear to travel to matches and trainings.

Sounds a bit like the Jerry Wallace carry on from a few years ago
