Antrim Football Thread

[Milltown Row2]

Did a game a few weeks ago. Players and managers knew the score as I was telling them throughout but the supporters had a different score! An umpire had put up his hand for a score, I was behind it, gave a wide but they must have thought it was a score...

The only other one is marking a point down on the wrong side..

There is actually a rule in the book that if you make the wrong call, you can't change it.

Of course I'm not debating the score, I wasn't at it but not uncommon for managers to check with ref on the current score. Especially in tight games

[Hoof Hearted]

Some win for the lads yday, hopefully now go on to take 3 from 3. Am I right in saying that the league's finish this week and then they split? I see there are a few teams to play matches in hand, how would that work?

2 more rounds AFTER today before the split
Next Sunday and Wed 7th june

When they finish, the only outstanding game will be the ahoghill Creggan game, for which i don't know if that result has been declared yet

For division 2 this couldn't be the case either then ? As most teams will have their fixtures played but there are a few teams who have games in hand?

Division 2 is different due to an even amount of teams therefore no byes required. 2 rescheduled games on later this week
Seems to be an issue regarding Aldergrove games but I don't know what

Mistakes happen in life, we"ll park it and move on. Was just highlighting it

Head of referees and he got score wrong not only that but his umpire corrected him and also both teams but he decided he can't be wrong and still had cargin down by 3 at HT
Only a league game yes but you are either right or your wrong and he was very wrong this time the arrogance of the man was astounding!everyone can make a mistake but at least own up to it and amend it.

But you're going to park it 

I jest, I hope the saffron Gael report has the correct score up

Go check the S G report.....easy to count the individual scorers.......

Great comeback and win. McCann is some man for a goal. Class

Disappointed Shivers walked away. Hopefully he can work on pace and strength and fitness and come back better conditioned for it next year because his talent is obvious but he's still young

With that analysis it doesn't sound like your that disappointed 😂

I am.

I want Antrim to be successful and he is obviously one of our most talented players

He's still young and hopefully will fulfil his potential.  We are all on the same side here....he 100percent needs to work of his conditioning,  speed , sharpness and fitness and should be pushed by all to do so, for the good of the County

[Would ye whist]

So you are telling me that for instance if you blow for mark which was actually kicked inside the 45 and realise your mistake you let the game go on and don't, say hop the ball?

I'm happy enough to say I sorta got that wrong lol!! It could have been a free out for overcarrying as he tried to claim a mark when the free was sent in, I blew the whistle incorrectly, but gave a hop ball so that I didn't make it worse for both teams, if ya know what I mean.. See even I can make a blunder lol

Ahoghill were awarded points and Creggan mentors were sanctioned, as well as senior footballers losing home advantage for remaining league fixtures....

But......am hearing Kickham's have lodged appeal.......

Pat was used to playing MacRory Cup football not McLarnon Cup. Could be he sees more value heading back to his club to do the hard work than playing County friendlies

[delgany]

Anyone able to clarify promotion/relegation for each of the leagues?
2 automatically down in Div1 with only one coming up. Is that right? Div2?

Two down, 1 promoted from/ to Div 1&2 in football.

[bannside]

Spike, you're a wise poster to be fair but that last post of yours isn't doing Pat any favours. Reads like Pat thinks he's too good for the Tailteean Cup, and I would seriously doubt that's what he's thinking. Very condescending post imo.

Pat is terrific player and will bounce back.

Sounds like you are in the same camp as the hurling snobs

"a sort of Gaelic football Grand National for disappointed also rans".

We've won a handful of games in the championship in forty odd years yet a championship at our level is introduced and people look down on it. Doesn't make any sense to me. Pity about shivers but he has huge ability and will hopefully be back.

Tc is perfect for us otherwise we will year on year be measured on unrealistic expectations in the championship in a province where most other teams are division one level.
