Antrim Football Thread

Absolutely tragic for all involved this week and a sad cloud over the Toome & Duneane parish.

Puts in all into perspective.

Look after yourself and your mates. I know I've found alot of comfort in the depression thread on this board.

[Points a Good Score]

A very tough week in Moneyglass with more difficult days to follow.

I've been lucky to know Jack McCoy since he was a very young lad, an absolute giant of a man in a wee body. Bravery, skill and endeavour where his best characteristics on the pitch, but off it is where he really excelled, a quick wit and sharp personality, a friend to old and young alike with the ability to interact and converse with both just the same.

Nothing was ever a problem to Jack, we're light in numbers today Jack can you play corner back, no problem, man marking job today Jack, no problem.

An IFC semi final against St Paul's a few years ago epitomised him most, in a game St Paul's looked like winning all the way through Jack never gave up, he contributed scores, blocks and tackles all night, covering 19kms over the 80 minutes a phenomenal effort.

We'll all miss him terribly both on and off the pitch.

There's no problem in this world that can't be solved, speak out and seek help don't suffer in silence like our dear friend.

Heartbreaking to hear all this.  The country is full of good people. Keep talking.

Heard Cargin and LD cut up rough last day out? 4 men sent to the line, 2 from each team. Big Shivers received a straight red and him not even stripped? That will be a lengthy suspension you'd imagine?

[belfastsaff]

5 Games ive heard! i presume this doesnt affect him playing for the county?

[BelSaft]

I thought the likes of incidents like that were more a timeframe than number of games? 3months which would then rule him out for the Saffs? MR2 would know ruling? Could be a loss after finding a bit of form again

Ref's wouldn't have a clue on suspensions tbf

They put a report in and it's up to someone else up the ladder.

Looking at the score line it looked like a handy one

[BelSaft]

I thought it depended on the severity or length of suspension?

It does depend on severity, Category V and VI suspensions are across codes and all levels.
