Antrim Football Thread

[Hectic]

Mostly underage guys though?

I do remember playing against Belfast clubs at minor where guys were playing for them that had previously been at other city clubs and a few years later their minor teammates were turning out at senior elsewhere. I also know a couple of other lads who joined another top city side around that time, one from a country club and the other from a lower division city side. In both these cases neither had a huge impact for the club they joined. Such is life.

In a lot of cases for the country clubs when players transfer they have moved there. I don't think you would find too many, if any, from cargin / glenravel who don't actually live there...

The city and country club dynamic is just different really. I imagine it is the same in a lot of cities in ireland.

Glenravel have always had a few from C'Dal, Glenarriffe & Carnlough playing for them. Neil McManus, played and won underage leagues with them.

That surely would be fair enough though given they are the local football club. Did they not have an ex county player from elsewhere star for them this season?

He's lived there for years though as I think he is married into a family there.

Same with Magill and Cargin as he lives there.

Then why did he move there saying you know so much?

Cause he wanted to? Ambitious? Fall out with his club? All these things?? I don't know! But don't put it down to distance from previous club.... I'm further away from my club than Michael is.. decent lad met him a couple times, he's his reason and I wouldn't judge him either way... but the defensive shit that comes on here from the sw mob is laughable

Didnt realise magill was in cargin parish.must have moved fairly recently.mccarry has lived in gravel for 4 years

[JimStynes]

mccarry has lived in gravel for 4 years

Is that concrete or just a rumour?

haha

Was surprised to see Big Marty stripping out for Glenravel. Didn't even know he had transferred until middle of the year. I think his is a different situation than Magill. Marty played his best days with his own club and is near the end of his senior playing days and transferred to where he is living.

I'd be mortar fied if true!

Why where are they heading??

Pretty shite match today there. Some of the Tryone men on the St. Mary's team are on a different level. I thought Glenavy did a great job of hosting as well.

Anybody know how many Back to the Future films there was?
