That's some drubbing a week before championship! Who showed well for St Galls? The bold Kevin was talking the other week about making a comeback, did he figure?

Any of the Brigid's ~~ladies~~ guys show any class or ability at all?

Dunloy will be laughing...St John's will be, er, nervous

thought i'd post something on here before it fell of the main page!!!!

Championship this weekend, any surprises in store for the big teams? we play the Johnnies.

All Saints (Portglenone won't win by as much as people think but will win ok)

St Brigids (Dunloy shouldn't be in senior I don't think)

St Galls (I'd expect there to be a bit of dirt in this match)

Cargin (Gorts are just a wee bit below this level)

saffron sam2 · August 21, 2009, 08:24:22 PM

Spreads:

Portglenone v All Saints (+9.5) Bonus

St. Brigid's v Dunloy (+10.5)

St. John's (+10.5) v St. Gall's

Cargin v Gort na Mona (+12.5)

Cargin by 15 then setting up the big showdown.

Ardoyne beating Aghagallon is a bit of a shock in the intermediate.

Aldergrove ran st endas close. Aldergrove seem to be improving of late.

bad craic that teams in the senior championship arre getting beat by 15 points!!!

can't even remember being beat by that much in a hurling match by the best team, Cargin are well in gear. should we beat the Jonhnnies tonight then it will be a good semi (final really)

Why have the other teams been so poor these last few years?

Hoof Hearted · August 23, 2009, 10:10:51 AM

apart from Portglenone, have other teams just said f**k it, we are too far behind Cargin + St Galls there is no point. I know Port's 2 finals against St Galls and semi against Cargin were bad defeats, but they are the only one's who seem to be in with a chance. From reading on here maybe St Bridgids aren't far away either, but the Antrim C'Ship has been like the Munster Football c'ship this decade, and teams shouldn't be get 15 point hammerings in 1/4 finals

saffron sam2 · August 23, 2009, 08:18:54 PM

Sure didn't it happen Donegal and Dublin this year.

That sets up a Cargin vs St Galls tie doesn't it ? any idea when/where that will take place ?

imtommygunn · August 23, 2009, 09:23:23 PM

I think it's set for 2 weeks time. Not sure of venues/ times etc yet though. MR reckons Belfast.

milltown row · August 23, 2009, 10:12:12 PM

i'm hearing Creggan, that was the worst game of football i ever seen, 3 johnnies men sent off and could have lost more.

had the Johnnies continued to play the football they played in the first 20 minutes they would have been better for it.

if Cargin were watching they must be rubbing their hands, we were terrible. plenty to work on. though the semi is not till 13th of Sept

milltown row · August 23, 2009, 10:25:21 PM

corner back for stamping on McGourty (Ciaran) and then Oliver not sure and the other corner back. just a load of bollox really. the hardman of football is dead, the slabbering and slaps is finished.

actually embarrassing, i'm there are some Johnny greats watching that tonight cringing

An oxymoron surely?
