Antrim Football Thread

[realisticsaff]

First thing that struck me was not a Cargin player is starting. A team who has taken 6 of the last 8 championships and put Glen to the pin of their collar a few months ago.

The 2nd thing that struck me was,  Casements have no starters either for a team who have been a top 4 team the past two seasons, none on the bench either.

Is it possible that 'Andy' only rates one individual  in the PG1 squad worthy of a jersey.....?

Or could it be PG1 are heading on another route......?

Hardly? Sure he's doing the job with 2 hands behind his back

Of all them clubs them boys are playing for, how many of them the starting 15 have got to an antrim championship semi final in the last 4/5 years?

And what?  One of the best players in an Antrim shirt in recent memory was Kevin Brady, no senior championship medals on his side board!

Brady was a class act...

Difference is Brady was surrounded by the best players in the county. Players from division 2 sides= 2 Cargin, Portglenone, Aghagallon and Creggan= 3 surely the best team have the best players or is that not a thing?

Not if the Armagh team is anything to go by.

Cargin boys rarely commit to Antrim

Good article in the Irish news about Chris lynch from ld today. He's working with the Australian soccer team today.

Btw is there a match on somewhere today... Hoping Armagh continue their last few bad games and we play like most games except Westmeath  ; Come on Antrim.

The betting is +9 I think that's accurate enough for a Div 1 team playing a Div 3 team..

Not sure which Antrim team will turn up and how Armagh will go at this game feeling that Cavan is the main match going forward.

Will we try and be defensive? Think Armagh may want to come out very strong early doors, they've a big supporter base so they'll be looking to put on a show.

We need to at the very least match their intensity in the first 20 minutes and see where that takes us. But need to keep discipline otherwise it's curtain's

They can have all the supporters in the world, but they're nothing special.  I just hope our lads truly believe that.

I've already been ridiculed in my own home here during lunch time predictions, but I believe there will only be a kick of the ball between the teams at the end of the game this evening. Here's hoping we're on the right side.

[EOC1923]

All negative here but we were lucky the scoreboard didn't reflect the game there. Some positives like Conor Stewarts goal and our captains efforts but crazy decisions by the manager today, start a guy who wouldn't make a good division 1 club team then take him off after 20mins for example. I'd rather lose by 30 points and show some aggression and bite. We weren't expected to win and didn't win but that was brutally bad. As for Sean O Neill why would you even bother!

[Milltown Row2]

9 point handicap and that's how it panned out. Armagh never really got out of second gear.

[BrendanAntrim]

Very poor, so much wrong there and not many positives at all. A depressing day, another one.

8 with PP

Atrocious performance

[Spike]

Shocking and horrible performance against an armagh team in 2nd gear. Its the hope that kills you.  Mark Jordan only positive.  Hoping Andy has seen enough to know who.has the guts for championship football and who are just league heroes
