Antrim Football Thread

[delgany]

I heard that the new goalkeeper is a soccer goalkeeper for balllyclare. And plays outfield for st endas .   I would have thought. Sean O Neill would be more obvious choice , never mind ronan Hanna being snubbed !!!!

Well I wonder just what the 'Baker Bashers', and there are certainly more than a few who would express their considered opinions on this site, say now..........................

They well be out in there droves against Donegal.

Listen to match and what a great start and baring 3/4 minutes in the games Antrim seemed to be on a different planet to Fermanagh. Get rid of those 3/4 mins we had at either half today and Antrim could give Donegal all they want.

Holy Mother of God where did that come from???  Well I got that stone wrong.  I'm struggling to remember a better all round display from an Antrim team.  Fermanagh were totally flattered by the score line.  We should have won that by 15 points. For 55 mins we gave then a football lesson. Problem is in the the other 15 mins we conceded about 3-7.  Hard to single out a MoM everyone did well but Niblock and Neeson were outrageously good.

Some pretty ungracious and childish stuff from McGrath at the end shouting to celebrating Antrim fans "d'ye want to see my All Ireland medals."

Congrats to Baker and all the squad

In fairness, there were a few drunken tools doing some slabbering

Pete McGrath? was he part of the great Down teams of the 60's?

Not long home and still over the moon with not one, but two great results.

Antrim haven't played football like this for a long time. Fermanagh were not a bad team, but at times when we got going we looked in a different class.

Fair play to everyone, management and players of both minors and seniors. Today you restored our pride and in football that's what matters most.

A few unreal individual performances, with Kevin Niblock confirming on the big stage what we always knew, that he is one of Ulsters finest. Mick oozed class all day too.

KOBO you are now an official Antrim LEGEND.

Aye bannside, left out Kobo, I thought he was brilliant all day. Flood looked pretty cool too for a debutante.

Lads just dropping in to say a big well done today. Really enjoyed the game. Good luck against Donegal, you'll have 31 counties behind yee hoping they are beat with their negative shite tactics

[Hoof Hearted]

Even with so many scores in the match today, the sunday game showed about 3 minutes including analysis, and the 17 minutes on the black card rule ! What a f**king joke !

[matchfit21]

Great result for Antrim! Made especially sweeter to be done without the massive egos and social media whores that were exercised. Niblock among the best attackers in Ireland on his day.

[rodney trotter]

Niblock got a few great scores from the limited coverage that was on TSG. They spent too much time on the boring black card chat.

Saffrons are back.

I cannot remember us winning both games! Great day (with typical scary ending) but delighted!

Some block at the end! Weather held up well too
