Antrim Football Thread

A fair few in the ulster colleges scene not too upset that HTC lost today, seems the rules are well and truly bent to allow a lot of their players to play. Not sure if 100 percent true but hearing lads out plumbing 4 days a week and in school one day a week we're playing.

Correct EOC. HTC have made a holy mockery of the rules last year and again this year. It's as bad if not worse as your outline above. Lads enrolled just to play football - the powers that be in the school should be ashamed. Ridiculous and disgraceful.

I think today completely burst the bubble surrounding the HTC coaching team. On paper, they had the stronger team, but the CBS looked like a team, while HTC looked like a gather up of individuals.

What bubble?

What have I missed here about HTC?

What have I missed here about HTC?

7 lads "repeating" an A-Level or 2, maybe in school a day or 2 per week, rest of the time out working. And it showed, the build on some of them lads was unreal.

Indeed, just skating around the system for a couple of years but school was compliant in accepting such with a stoke of the pen.....

HTC were missing some boy through injury, I heard he put his back out building a footing last week

Can be dodgy enough building an aul footing, obviously not following the safety standards, bending the knees and not over stretching, lifting the block over the wall will do it, specially in the morning when ya haven't had your tae

The team for Saturday will be interesting. This is a must win game, but there appear to be a lot of injuries within the team currently. The club season starting again shortly will really help things

Club season starts in March, some teams only started back on Friday night, be hard pushed to get players up to a fitness standard no?

Antrim should go into this game confident enough, been steady progress against the two teams that came down from Div2, hopefully a win there and beat Longford who look in free fall at the moment, might secure our position in this league

Club season, the Allianz Football league and the u20s play Meath all in the same weekend... what a mess

I couldn't imagine sitting in on a fixture meeting and trying to arrange all fixtures to suit everyone's needs, the county set up is probably the main one then its down to the the start dates of the leagues and then the club championships.

Mix in that its a dual county and everyone looking their bit to suit them.

Seems like a nightmare looking in

Feel great sympathy for the fixture guy Raymond, everyone always complaining at the inpossible task he has
