On a side note, thought the match programme was a very good production for yesterday's match

[Hoof Hearted]

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?

Glen. Big fish in a small pond?

you could be right, but maybe being a wee bit disrespectful to Slaughtneil, Magherafelt and Newbridge.

No jealousy. I was just correcting Country Bumpkin - maybe he didn't know just.  There is no denying it. Cargin are the most complete team possibly in the history of Antrim GAA. And it doesn't look like anyone is going to compete with them in the next 7 or 8 years given the younger talent coming through and learning the tricks of the trade from the more experienced lads. CJ is a sight to behold in all honesty. Big Pat had a serious say in the result when introduced also, and hes still only a lad. Sean O'Neill, Gribben, Eunan Quinn etc all only lads. Good luck in Ulster 

To consider Cargin as "the most complete team possibly in the history of Antrim GAA" is laughable.  They've won 1 Ulster Championship game...

I dont think it was a straight red. Defo a second yellow yes, but to give him a straight red which means he will miss the ulster champ game? Id say he will get it overturned

as clear a red as there has been all year.

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

[BelSaft]

They could win another 5 or 6 championships in a row. Who's going to compete with them? I did say 'possibly'.

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.

Is the red not applicable to the first round of Antrim next year. Red cards are one game in the same competition.

Ulster will be a different competition.

I'd say that's true.

He was gone either way after that, just a rush of blood to the head and bingo!!

You'd need  seriously green tinted glasses to say any different lol!

Big Pat will be back filling that role and RD has another selection problem for the first round in Ulster.

Be interesting to see how Cargin approach this game, will it be damaged limitations or go for the jugular

St galls won an All Ireland Club, they are the best team in Antrims history.
You call yourself Antrim Realist, At the minute, Cargin are streets ahead of anything else in Antrim, what about a bit of respect for that, never mind what they do in Ulster.

As a matter of interest, how many players from this and recent Cargin teams would have had their college football in the south Derry schools?

Ronan Gribbin is a former Malachian, product of St Malachys on the Antrim road Belfast.

A big majority or in fact all of the rest of the panel attended St Pats Maghera, St Pius X or St Mary's both Magherafelt.

As for making comparison with St Galls of course the Milltown men were a super side but unlike the Toome men they were assembled from players across the province,whereas Cargin are 'home grown' through out...

The red card will apply to Ulster Championship , as it is deemed an extension of the Antrim Championship !
