Antrim Football Thread

i take it that Paddy Cunningham is the Antrim captain for the year, so that will rule him out of going to the states, so thats a bonus. what attributes will he bring to the changing room? good footballer and curved ball from the Bradley man i thought in naming him captain. great honour. is he the first Lamhs man to captain Antrim?

You play over there Glens? I played football for St Peters for a couple of years in Manchester.

I'll try and remember to bring it in tomorrow and scan it in for you if I can do that.

I don't play, no. I've never even been to watch a match over here, live in Preston and the nearest Gaa club is/was in Manchester.

The offer is much appreciated regarding the scan, I'll pm you my e-mail.

Well i suppose when CJ and Cunningham are arguing over who is taking a handy free Cunningham will be able to pull rank now and say he is the captain.

PC pulled rank in the Wicklow game and hit a shocking penalty wide.

CJ walked away shaking his head like Christmas had been cancelled. A supportive teammate if ever I saw one.

Im sure i will be set straight here but my personal opinion is that those two chaps seem more interested in getting as big a scoring tally as possible and getting a nice write up in the Irish News and are not too worried whether it is win/lose or draw.........

That has been the case for too many of the players hurling and football for the past number of years, I wouldnt mind seeing a blankett ban on players speaking to the Irish News / Press in general, very seldom any good comes from it!

exactly, if i played i wouldnt say a word to the Irish News, not one word. Not if we beat Donegal, not if we got to Ulster Final, not a word. Total focus. If i played i wouldnt even tell my family or friends--at the moment it doesnt mean much to play for Antrim--only way to change that is to turn fortunes around until real people notice--not some stupid young Irish News reporter looking to fill a bit of space in his paper when he is sent to cover a lowly Div 4 game who is only too happy to get a quote from any spoon to say how well they played v London

They don't need a manager. The can win the Antrim championship managing themselves.
