Antrim Football Thread

Baker would be at the top of his scale as they say

[Hoof Hearted]

I reckon if Ballymena had of stuck with Scotchie Hagan theyd've been in div 1 now and an intermediate title under their belt.

PS - An outsider and not FOC but wouldn't have been as much.

They have a good young team. Unlucky probably with injuries this year. Glenravel up and I can't see Dunloy or St Endas dropping to intermediate? Leaves intermediate fairly open for a team like Ballymena to take advantage of. Rumours Moneyglass are losing a lot of players to travel

Yes Moneyglass rumours are true
Also heard that relegation is scrapped and Glenravel are making it a 14 team league.
Only hearsay mind you.

To save St Endas? Can't see that happening

[Christmas Lights]

Shocking bad game. Wasn't even a championship feel about it never mind it being a final

How come? Lack of intensity?

[imtommygunn]

6-5 cargin half time score. Johnston scores a goal again. Seems tight enough.

[Saffrongael]

Cargin just more accomplished and wore Dunloy down, McCann & Shivers made a big difference coming in

[Marevick]

Firstly congrats to Cargin.A very experienced team. Tomas is a goat and Mick is a rolls Royce. Conhuir J is the next big thing and needs to be nurtured, but alot has to be said for officiating decisions. Dunloy should of had a penalty and another cargin man should have seen red.
The bigger picture is this type of officiating does not help Antrim game on a club level or on a county level.

Miltownrow might cry and say why don't you take the whistle but the stone cold truth is the quality of reffing and decisions need to improve if our county is to improve on the big stage.
But who am I? Only one man's opinion, or is it?

Cargin with a champions performance. Well done to them. Mccann & shivers brilliant when introduced. They have some panel. Hopefully they can get a run in Ulster. Anyone know who they get?

Playing against 14 men for 2/3rd of the match, 9 mins overtime and a 6 point defeat and you're blaming the referee?  Good lord

The quality of refereeing is holding our county back? A stone cold truth? Give your head a wobble.
People complain about referees in every county in Ireland. People complain about referees at county level.
We literally offer every excuse under the sun for our county being shite.

Give your own head a wobble.
Not taking away from cargins poweress. They where impressive in patches but that sort of referring won't do them an ounce of favour against glen or whomever may win the Derry championship.
But sure if you didn't see poor officiating today your wearing rose tinted glasses 🙄

[paddyjohn]

Well I watched Fintan McCotter yesterday and I tell your what - he's on of the best in the county.

[Milltown Row2]

I can understand the disappointment maverick but I'd say most players managers would have been happy with that appointment and if you are going to say that these calls decided the game then you are on the sauce!

The losing team generally complain about the officials. Having managed for many years I generally look at myself and the players and say how could I have done better after the game..
