Antrim Football Thread

[bannside]

As I hinted a few weeks back, it looks that Kevin Niblock has played his last game for Antrim. What a loss he will be.

I make no apology in saying he has consistently been Antrims best performer for more than a decade. His ball winning ability was unreal and I'd say he would have made any team in the country. No one put himself about more than Kevin in a physical sense, contesting and winning balls he had no right to. Sadly some of the many knocks he received has caught up on him.

Hopefully his injuries heal to the extent that he can still enjoy a few years with St Galls.

Thanks for the hundreds of memories in Saffron Nibs. Antrim Legend.

It's all Saffron Visions fault lol.

I saw and heard all the angles in this story and knew there would be no winners in this, just losers. Once again the Irish News jumped for the big hit on Antrim with a splash across the back pages. Yet another cheap shot.

Frankie Quinn couldn't have done much more than he did but there was a serious overreaction by making the players statement public and I'd say the relationship between the board and the football management team is in tatters going forward. Bar a miracle in a month my guess is that we are probably looking for a new set up.

So I wasn't making it up?

Agree with you Kevin Niblock post, a legend indeed and a gentleman to boot.

Think if indeed you have heard the whole story BS perhaps the source was a tad biased.
New management you think.............the list of applicants is certain to be a long one indeed, but will the new regime be informed that his charges are not to eat red meat on away trips and be easy on the shower caps.
You do know what I mean.......

Lads, I've been asking in a few county club threads how bad is the problem with matches being very defensive in your county?
Do most teams play with 2 or more sweepers or is it relatively entertaining and attack minded?

I'd say during the league there is a openess to most games, come championship though and that changes completely
