You have to give it to Antrim boss Jody Gormley, only days before we face Cavan he has stated we should be playing in a properly run second tier competition.
Talk about brutal honesty, much as Gormley's message to the Antrim faithful is one of doom and gloom he's right.
We, like the Tyrone hurlers, are probably not serious about playing in the championship, after all we blew promotion from the division of no-hope, Division 4, by falling to the might of the Waterford footballers who wouldn't beat their hurlers at the big ball game.
I agree with the concept of an Open Draw for the All Ireland which Gormley supports but I have to take issue with his comments that we could win the Connacht championship if we were allowed to play it.
No we wouldn't.
We are nowhere good enough to beat Galway or Mayo in championship football and would find it hard to overcome Roscommon and Sligo even when they are not at the top table.
We would beat New York, even Leitrim did that.
But to claim that we could compete in Connnacht is nonsense.
Bring on the action as everyone seems to lose the run of themselves in the build-up.
