A couple of weeks ago I wrote Thank God it was the Waterford footballers who stood in the way of Antrim winning promotion from Division 4 as if it had have been hurling we wouldn't have had a chance.
Well, the mighty Waterford footballers came up to Casement Park and cleaned us out leaving our promotion hopes in ruins.
I don't think anyone else in the country gets it why we are struggling so badly with one of the biggest pools of players in the North.
I mean Division 4 football, the standard is absolutely awful but the problem for us is that a couple of the sides coming down will keep us down there for at least another year to come.
I am sick to the back teeth reading about the progress we are making in football's nether regions, we are not in Division 4 because we are too good.
Unless we are honest about where we are we ain't going anywhere.
Oisin McConville (above) recently wrote that he believed we were lazy or didn't want to work for success, it's hard to argue against that for as a county we seem to have given up trying to be better.
I grew up in an era where we weren't exactly feared in Ulster but we were respected, it seems so long ago, it is so long ago, and I don't see us going anywhere for some time to come!
