Antrim Football Thread

[seanyb]

Aye surely! Do you want to know what they had for breakfast?

Can Cargin take Glen or Magherafelt, that's the main item on the agenda now. Or Glenravel / Rasharkin in the ulster club?

Going back to Cargin v Derrygonnelly 2019, we underperformed then had a frustrating 3 long years to get another crack (covid year of 2020 and Creggans win) So getting another go at a top team so soon again has to be a good thing for possible progress. We've got one of the hardest draws we could of got but we will have had 5 weeks to prepare so cant complain and what a huge victory it would be should it come off.
Glenravel I would expect to go well in the intermediate Antrim teams have done well in recent years. Don't know so much about the junior grade tbh.

I don't know if you underperformed that day against Derrygonnelly, they were very good that day, as physical as yourselves and took the scores.

Gave the Donegal champions too much of a start that year and had all the momentum but ran out of time, going to be a hard game again this year, be interesting to see how Cargin approach the game, that'll be down to who they get I suppose, but keeping it tight early doors and then going at them and putting them on the back foot.. Should be a good game, might even head up to Derry (if its there and not Owenbeg)

Are we going for a 2 all draw after ET? 

Couldn't be worse than Antrim final of 2018, could it?

I think ill stream it! PPV?

[antrimman667]

he tried pulling out, the ball was in the air and he went for it and half pulled out mid air. Stupid to do it but still dont think its a straight red

Ball was in the keepers arms before he jumped off the ground. it was spur of the moment and it looked like he knew straight away and regretted it. I thought the same as you when i saw it, but when i saw it again it didnt look good.
not nice getting a red in a county final but i think ref got it right.

What stuff are people on 🤣

Genuinely do believe Cargin can take the Derry winners BS. This is a Cargin side with a perfect mix of fearlessness in the youth, experience in the older men as well as a hunger to make a name for themselves.

Glenravel and Rasharkin will give both of their ulster club championships a shot - Rasharkin one of the better Junior winners of recent years IMO.

Antrim are starting up next week. Hope John Morgan got a call up he had a solid campaign for the Derry/Antrim/Tyrone amalgamation.

Although Glen are hot favourites I've heard a couple of people express the view that Magherafelt might put it up to them.

It's been a long year for Glen, the run to the club final before their county players were straight back up and at it, and they haven't stopped since. Some day they will climb one mountain too many, just a question of when that will be.

Cargin have the blend now,as you say, great mix of legs and experience, and unlike last year will be very fresh going into this. Where that takes them time will tell, but all things considered youde expect them to be going into this in far better shape than last year.

Twill be an interesting few months ahead.

Strangely Glen only have a couple of county players BS so in fairness it's been a long season for Glass and Doherty, McFaul was well rested before he came back.
Glen will be aiming for revenge against Kilmacud but theyv a few obstacles to cross before they play the Dublin men again.
Someone mentioned Morgan from St Brogids, he was definitely asked into county senior setup recently.

I see the Moneyglass ladies have landed in a difficult spot with three matches this weekend. Camogie finals on Saturday which a few of their senior panel are involved in and then the Donaghmoyne match is at 2pm on Sunday and they've been told they have to play the Antrim Minor final at 8pm on Sunday night despite some of those minors being on the senior panel and the two coaches of the team also being senior players.

Doesn't suprise me. The LGFA in Antrim is a complete shambles.

Agree 100%  There seems to be 2 or 3 people running the lgfa in Antrim . They made a mess of the St.Endas debacle and things didn't go well for them in underage issue with St.Pauls. They do not actual adhere to their national guidelines either !

[antrimman667]

Is Morgan the only call up?

[EOC1923]

Andy Mc will be quietly content with the draw Antrim got, winnable.

[bannside]

Definitely settle for that for sure.
