Looks like you are in the know EOC - please inform us who paid for and built the two pitches and changing rooms at Musgrave?

Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on November 23, 2023, 10:29:45 PMA lot of clubs could afford one of these. Instead, however, they throw good money after bad at snake oil merchants to take their senior team that, if they they are honest with themselves, haven't a fcukin prayer of winning anything.

There are absolutely wrongs in this but it is a much better investment of club funds if you ask me.
It's an interesting move by them going forward, many Dublin 'Super Clubs' do this, most of them own a pitch and some changing rooms though

Was at both games. Cargin were poor and on that display there'll be new champions this year. Aghagallon made a game of it but still couldn't get over the line even when Cargin opened the door for them. A dissapointing year for wee Pete. He's their 3rd manager in 3 years and the least successful.

Lavey beat a very poor Rossa in a game that Brendan was very harsh on ODR I thought. I was expecting more from Rossa tbh.
Lavey played for frees and Brendan bought them every time. The Downeys were to the fore and I just wonder what true St.Brigids Gaels honestly think about this clan coming in and bringing them to a semi final. Is it win at all costs so its all justified or is there some discomfort seeing their homegrown players standing aside?
Regardless, Cargin would need to watch out as any Antrim team with 2 players with 2 Ulster Senior Cships an All Ireland winning captain and a couple of colleges All Stars should be taken seriously. In saying that, shut down the Downeys and Brigids have very little else.

When is it ok to have an 'outsider'? Is one ok or none?

Has to be none - the integrity of the GAA and every club in Antrim and Ireland would be called into question. I can't see any club in Antrim, apart from St Brigids, having any outside players.
Ok I want to get this straight before taking the piss... any club that has won a championship with an 'outsider' is tainted?

Well that's the contention from the 'traditional' GAA club 'spokespersons' on here? Is it not?

Do you know many clubs in Antrim that haven't had outsiders like managers or players from other clubs?

Not many I would guess. However, the consensus from the illuminate is that this is totally shameless. With a fair wind the traditional clubs who believe they can compete and win at Antrim, Ulster and beyond should edge it though. Here's hoping.

I wonder how much St Brigids are paying these transferred players, shameful.

Big win for Cargin on the Musgrave sod...another league title back in vision.....

Hope you got to stand and march wherever you wanted. Would hate to see that 'DUP esk' persecution syndrome appear again when you visit Musgrave.

Perhaps highlights the general apathy in Antrim for attending.  we could barely sell out Corrigan for the antrim v cavan championship match earlier in the year.  Cargin from a small rural parish divided 3 ways wasn't going to fill Corrigan.  Don't know if it is a travelling issue for Corrigan or if things would even change if shifted back up the country.  Hard to tell.  Felt like Ahoghill was getting good crowds of neutrals a few years ago.

Corrigan is literally 35/40 minutes on the motorway from Toome. It takes almost as long to get from one side of Belfast to the other. Jeez I doubt Cargin supporters would be put off by a short drive up the motorway
Id imagine he means other Antrim gaels not Cargin supporters, but then you know this.

9 of your last 12 posts are about Cargin Pjoe, and not many of them are very nice.

Ok for the record. I was at Corrigan Sunday supporting Cargin. Great performance to dig out a win as not many teams in Antrim have progressed past the first round. Fair play and hopefully they progress and overcome Glen.

I'll fully support all Antrim clubs in Ulster/all Ireland campaigns and not stoop to calling any club "a shower", in any context.

See St Brigid's 'blow in' Brolly taking to Twitter anticipating a great Ulster Final.....Glen v Kilcoo....
Wonder does he reflect the opinion of the Musgrave inhabitants..?

I think the only inhabitants in Musgrave are wild bats, a protected species I believe. You should maybe talk to them about it, a sensible conversation it would be no doubt  ;)

Going to head to Corrigan Park at the weekend to watch the Ulster Club game. Where is the best place to view the game? Is there areas segregated off for each group of fans?

The St. Brigid's lads get the seats in the stand even if they're not playing. Cargin lads get the grass bank.

Aye, I heard the county committee passed it last night too that St Brigids would be stewarding the game. All Cargin supporters have been asked to follow their normal protocol and post all complaints prior to throw-in.

Is that the same respect mentors show to match officials when they get red carded.  Or are they a different type of Gael?

Cargin posters on here should be called the IF men. We would have won IF

If I was allowed to stand where I liked
If we had other players on the pitch
If we didn't make mistakes
If the final wasn't scheduled for next weekend (oh wait that no longer matters  ;D

You were not good enough on the day. You lost. Sin e

What a pile of crap. Do the Cargin contributors to this board just come here to moan? You lost to a better team accept it and move on. You had a chance to close the game out with 10 minutes to go and could not take it - for the remaining 30 minutes you were second best, and St Brigids played half of extra time a man down. If it's not the CCC having the audacity to fix the U20 final on the same weekend as Cargin play in Ulster (oh wait...). As for hard to watch, I recall a senior county final not that long ago - what was the score again - something like a soccer match score. 

What a shower you are on this board.

End of rant.

Up in Musgrave at the U20s, thought the Cargin boys battled well controlled the game and lost with a couple of bad errors for the StBrigids goals. But by God StBrigids are a hard watch never seen such negativity scored 1pt in 1st half I think, Cargin unable to field Sean O Neill or Cahir Donnely due to senior commitments (the latter played extra time). Would most likely of been a different result had they played but that's success for you. Moneyglass reaching the final and will fancy it, it's a 50/50 game but it won't be easy on the eye.
Final rant wasn't even able to stand where I wanted, St Brigids officials only letting their own supporters stand in front of the their (sorry the councils) clubhouse on the halfway line, never witnessed a shower of up their own a#se individuals in all my life. Rant over!
You haven't a clue about football pal, what a clueless analysis

So Under-20 football championship due to start next week following the non event which was the league.
Cargin may well be strong in this competition but with their date with the Glenties due the same date scheduled for the final of the under -20 championship and with a good number
'seniors' eligible for this last under age event they have a big  decision to make....
