Antrim Football Thread

[Derry Man]

There are some complete slabbers on here. Those who seem to thrive on only highlighting the clear and obvious negatives that the dogs on the street could tell you about.

The reality is that the top end of Antrim club football is as strong as it has been in an age, not the other way around. Dunloy, Cargin, Creggan, St. Brigids, Portglenone and Aghagallon if they got their act together would be more than competitive in Derry or Tyrone. You dont know football if you argue otherwise.

I am also optimistic on the County front for next season. The more I hear the more I like, and on the face of things the re introduction of mckenna cup football for the new management team and a division 4 & tailtean cup campaign lays out a season, to my mind, where we can really compete on all fronts and begin to make strides again.

I've been critical on these things in the past myself, but I don't get the agenda of some people.

Dunloy or Cargin would be the 6th best team in Derry, I've no idea what would give you the idea they'd be competitive

If we don't "compete" in Division 4 we may pull the plug on football in the county. The reality is results will tell the tale for our clubs in Ulster and it's more often than not comfortable defeats. I'd love that not to be true but it is.

I know you believe this and that's the insane bit.
There are intermediate teams in Tyrone who would beat some of the clubs you've listed. "More than competitive" Christ above.

Jesus, point proven. Back to the bar stools lads.

[Milltown Row2]

There are tournaments for club football in Antrim to measure itself against other counties, Ulster club champions play at under16 minor under21 and senior, that's your yardstick to let ya know how good you are..

Think some play in the Ulster league, though not sure how competitive it is

I'm not sure since the these tournaments started how we have faired, but certainly a good indicator.

Challenge games are not a good measure

In fairness you didn't offer much proof yourself for your bold statement
