Antrim Football Thread

Of St Pauls, Moneyglass and Sarsfields it was only St Pauls who showed anything at all in the group games. But in all honesty the 3 of them should be relegated along with Tir Na Nog (who are down already) to try and improve the standard a bit.

Let's be honest and add glenravel  to the list, Dunloy done them a massive turn on Saturday  which nobody seems to be questioning.

Even a glenravel defeat was still putting Tir Na Nog in 4th spot.
Unless it was a tanking.

That's not in dispute, but a gimme win from Dunloy  shouldn't remove glenravel from any potential conversation about getting chopped down to intermediate. They finished below St Paul's in the league and just above us, so they aren't exactly  flying high and Dunloy throwing a match doesn't change that

League and championship 2 different animals, as EVERYONE on here agrees(for a change)
So Glenravel struggled in the league, that's fair enough
They upped it for the championship and got 3 points so they stay up on merit.

By 'upping it for championship' you mean drawing at home to already relegated TNN and scraping past Dunloy reserves? Let's add some context to the 3 points Glenravel are no better than the 4 other teams we have labelled as 'not good enough to compete'.

And somehow they ended up knocked out of the championship at the same stage as the super saints.

and aghagallon and st galls..........

Do we need neutral venues for the quarter-finals? Is there merit in awarding the group winners home advantage?

They are down for pitch 3 yes, but Ahoghill and Glenravel hurlers are down for pitch 1 tonight so it mustn't be closed.

Just clocked to that myself,

Dunsilly is where all 4 1/4s should be
Think it's a good pitch and from the last 2/3 years going to the games it really does bring the atmosphere up a notch cause it's closed in,

2 double headers?
Same as Derry and Tyrone do for most games instead of bringing people all over the place

So I think anyway
That's my 10 pence on it

Unless you need the toilet at some stage during the double headers, then you're in trouble.
