Antrim Football Thread

I believe eamonn blayney was the manager and walked after a bit of unrest and lack of commitment within the changing room$ no outsider will survive there let alone their own

Did Niall Ward not join them to manage them>? Or is that completely wrong?

Very hard to get total commitment if keep losing year on year.

The big legend that was Ray McDonnell Snr passed away last night surrounded by his family. Belfast, Rossa and Antrim is a lesser place for it.

A winner of multiple county championships as both a player and manager, former manager of the county and patriarch of a remarkable family.

RIP Big Cas.

Ah, sad news.  A real character.  RIP.

Ray Mc Donnell
A great man who will be  a great loss to his great family and the GAA.

RIP

Anyone see the the best Antrim team in the Independent newspaper?

[Mickey Linden]

Anyone see the the best Antrim team in the Independent newspaper?

What was the team?

[NAG1]

Dare we ask who it was compiled by?

[CentreHalfBack]

Niall Ward is playing for them alright.

Much is he getting paid this year?

What was the team?

Didn't see it, but apparently it included Mick McCann, Loughrey and Crozier of the current lot, McGreevy and Kevin Madden from the recent past and Aidan Hamill, Andy McCallin and Donal Laverty from further back.

Will try to find out the rest.

Sean McGreevey
Ciaran Hammill
Jim McCorry
Justin Crozier
James Loughrey
Patsy Totten
Donal Laverty
Tony McAtamney
John Kiernan
Michael McCann
Gerard McCann
Donal Laverty
Andy McCallin
Kevin Madden
Aidan Hamill

[Minder]

Only pay a passing interest to the footballers but would Crozier be as good as that?

[Milltown Row2]

Hes better than Sean Kelly according to that!! Obviously a team picked by someone with a dislike of Naomh Gall

So good they named him twice.
Assume it's John McKiernan at midfield.

No.

I think JP O'Kane, Alex McQuillan and Bap Armstrong should be certs and I wouldn't have argued had Kelly or Martin Mulholland been picked.

No room for either Lynn brother, Lynchbhoy.

Justin Crozier to me is still a  bit of an enigma. For a boy that would have been getting college all stars, winning sigersons etc. I would have hoped for a lot more from. I think he's still relatively young and will come good but I wouldn't have him in a best 15 ever. Definitely one of our better players but not a best 15 ever - I think he needs to be put into a settled position and stick there.

Loughrey probably could do with a few more years too.

The past ones would be hard to argue with mind. Alec McQuillan and boys like that would probably merit places on it.

Which Kelly SS2?

Yeah would agree with that would also think room for John Burns.
