Antrim Football Thread

[belfastsaff]

I was at the match. One of the worst brawls I have seen a few casements men should be ashamed of there actions. There could have been some supporters seriously hurt if it wasn't for a couple of calm heads- it was a good hard hitting game until the end when both teams lost their discipline
As for Antrim we play Offaly a must win game in what has been a bitterly disappointing season

Surely not Bannside. Thought it was only Derry football had this problem..

beat in first round of u17, u20 and senior! If £200k a year for 5 years at primary school is our ray of hope then we are going to have another decade of the same
Surely we need another initiative a secondary schools with an aim of winning a macrory cup before we can hope to win anything at senior level

Funny enough I've spoken to both Casements and St Johns club men who were at the game. Not surprisingly both blame each other but also take portion of blame. I heard a few cars were damaged to.

The Antrim display on Saturday left a lot to be desired. Shocking poor and Chris Kerr was left out to dry.

9 Aghagallon players won MacRory and Hogan Cups this year.  And the Creggan lads were key men for Magherafelt in the MacRory Final as well.  But I know what you mean.

Are portglenone going to wait until this player seriously hurts someone before they do anything about him county board need to investigate by all accounts very bad

Who are you talking about?

[bit of banter]

Player in question has well documented history of striking on the pitch. Are the county board and Portglenone going to wait until someone doesnt get up before they act. I see bannside hasnt commented which would indicate how bad the fighting was.
We need these incidents stamped out of our game and the only way is for stronger punnishments on players and clubs. God forbid your son was on the wrong end of a vicious attack on the pitch, playing our amature games.

It has to be a wind up. Every club in this county has had these incidents at their games. I think the dislike of certain members of the PG1 club are clouding the vision of some people on here.

A windup surely.  Track records of both clubs don't compare.

Yip...

All very quiet this week on the performance of the county team, some people have went as far to say it was one of the worst they've witnessed from an Antrim team, even through the days of Frank Dawson. Will we beat Offaly? Not the worst draw but I'm sure they are thinking the same of us.

Totally agree - St Johns have poor recent disciplinary record and I haven't heard of PG1 being involved in any incidents - will all the incidents be captured in ref's report to allow an investigation?
