Antrim Football Thread

I think there's a place for it and if people realise it's not necessarily who is the best player but more who had the biggest impact in their respective Championship then it's worthwhile.

And do you think the 'public' will be fooled again when they
did see the leaders in the poll at close of play pushed aside and reconstructed by an individual who is certainly not an avid spectator.....

It was the same last year, the public vote meant nothing as those that topped the vote, even by large margins, didn't necessarily get picked.

All back to the behind closed doors vote of the panel....or maybe one person.

Hasn't been well for a while sadly. He once told me he wanted to retire to the Ards peninsula.

RIP Frankie, lovely lad who all the kids in Knock that I know couldn't speak highly enough of.

Well yes and no, I think they were stand alone clubs at one point then changed over, as Frankie says he moved on to Lamhs and some of the Eire og lads did at juvenile then went back to their 'own' clubs at senior

Can't remember playing against Derriaghy but remember Frankie for Lamhs, some pace and intelligent with the ball 

He came back into Antrim over 40's and still had pace ffs!!

Sadly missed

[country bumpkin]

Sad news.....Frankie was a super footballer and a most likeable lad.
May his good soul Rest in Peace, and Mary Queen of the Gael wrap her arms around and comfort his grieving family....

Suppose that is the area alright but didn't think it was the same club.
