Antrim Football Thread

[Baile Aontroma]

As far as the ref in Corrigan in the junior semi final is concerned he was fair enough to both teams.
Swings and roundabouts, both teams may have complaints but in the end he isn't here to defend himself and he shouldn't have to be! I was talking to a few neutrals myself and they said the best team won so no point in blaming the ref

[Milltown Row2]

I'm hearing that a certain linesman must share some of the blame.

A fella boots a lad up the hole, the linesman draws the ref's attention to it and between the two of them conclude that it's a yellow card.

Another incident whereby by a lad elbows the full back in the face before going on to score a goal. Apparently said linesman admitted that he saw the incident but for some reason didn't think it was important.

But, hey, such is life.

But sure i heard a certain rossa man was a complete dickhead and had no life outside of his computer. But hey such is life

[DearyMe]

What about St Pauls and St Galls??? Anyone at it? Some score!

[SambaSaffron]

Of course they will.  Neither Moneyglass or Glenavy will have any inferiority complex against us. Those teams all know each other and there's never too much between them. They have all been round the block in recent years and that's making the intermediate championship more interesting than ever. Wide open.

2 decent teams aye, but after watching Portglenone tear a strong Aghagallon apart the other niht I can't see anyone in Antrim running them close. If any bookies had odds for ulster they'd be a strong bet, very powerful squad.

Why get so annoyed. U know what happened and did nothing. And as for Baile Aontroma, feck off obviously a comgalls man.ur full of sh1t. Any neutral I talked to said it was a disgrace.

Having a pop at someone while hiding behind the keyboard is well brave, Hardstation wasn't at the game so he's going on hearsay.

As for me not doing anything? I don't get what you are talking about? I run the line, any off the ball stuff that goes on that the referee doesn't see then I'll ask to call him in, as for the goal incident the referee was ten yards away from it, he called it as he seen it, ball broke to Antrim player back of the net. That's the way it goes another referee maybe would have seen it differently. Again it's difficult when your team loose and by the minimum I've lost games and feel that we didn't get the marginal calls in a match, it happens.

I think you call everything pretty down the middle MR2 and know where you're coming from i'm of the 'some days they go for ya some days they don't' way of looking at things too, but there has to be blame with the county for this. Knowing the referees family relationship with the Antrim management surely means it wasn't fair on the ref to take that game? Not having a go at the ref, but the people who make the appointments.

Lack of ambition with O'Rourke thing or simply couldnt afford him and the backroom staff?

[bannside]

Baker gone.

[themac_23]

Baker gone.

No real surprise, not a big fan of his but if there are interviews happening for your job (public ones at that) then out of sheer pride you are going to pack it in. Don't think this has been handled well at all, there is a way to treat people and this is not it.

[glens abu]

Glad to see the Baker go but reading today's article in Irish News as to why they don't want O'Rourke shows again the lack of ambition from the County Board.More years in the wilderness.

[Applesisapples]

No wonder Antrim football is in the state it is, more splits than unionism. No ambition.

Yeah cause he did such a bang up job with Louth 

Time to get the structures right from the bottom up, until we do this, no paid mercenary will ever have success regardless.

[glens abu]

All they want is to get out of Div4,and that is seen as a success.

Frank Fitz just been named the new manager.
