Antrim Football Thread

Was at the game too.  After the keeper put them level in the second half (which made it interesting) St Galls decided they wanted to play a bit and immediately re-took the lead.  Lamhs never looked like getting close to winning after that.

Ah sure, it's only Antrim.  Lets see how they get on against the Cross men, a different story.

We'd  never beat Cross. But you can only try, Lamhs wont be trying, thats for sure

Was at the galls game myself, thought the ref bottled it by not showing Stewart a 2nd yellow for a deliberate trip with 7/8mins left.

Kevin mcgourty done well when he appeared, 2 great blocks and a fine point.

Did the referee bottled it when Karl was hit off the ball?

I didnt see Karl getting hit off the ball but he should have been given a second yellow. Who do St Galls get in the next round then?

Any idea when they release the actual venues/times of these matches if they are this coming weekend? Tonight?

Where you see these? Are following rounds for the hurling out as well?

Good double header Sunday early evening...certainly worth a look!

Cheers Minder - those fixtures have been on the website for a while. Was thinking more along the Junior championships etc. Assume some of the junior/intermediate fixtures will be tacked on to those as double headers??

No, the ref booked both players on advice of the linesman.

Both players were at it in fairness.

You need to take them tinted glasses off sometimes.

[Milltown Row2]

Dont wear glasses. As a ref myself I prefer to yellow/red card the player who starts it. That being the case, it should prevent players in carrying out 'handbags' in the first place. The line, they were both at it is daft. Someone always starts it ffs

You have been spotted wearing dark shades many a time, even when the rain is p@ssing down. 

So is it not true Worker that Lambs were lucky not to be awarded a red or two themselves ? Did the ref bottle those decisions too  ? Who is wearing the tinted glasses ?
Game is over, game is won...creggan will be aiming to cause an upset this weekend and with us not playing up to our expected standards anything can happen. As for cross...a long way off and expect Pearse Ogs to give them a scare this year. All to play for still....well not for lambs

Apart from the Stewart incident, I can't think of any other which warranted a sending off (admittedly I left before the skirmish in added time).

If anything I thought the st galls where quite cynical at times, and the ref was shy on showing a yellow on a few occasions.

Just to clarify, I have no affinity to the lamhs, if anything I was behind st galls on Saturday night.

Just giving my account of what I saw on the night.
