Antrim Football Thread

[Spike]

By 'walked' I'm guessing you mean a 'black card'?  tbh I'm not sure what is a black card and what isn't any more. Magill stepped into the Johnnies man with his shoulder as the Johnnies man was handpassing the ball for a 'softener' - black or yellow - never a red and I don't think Cargin could have complained if either was shown.  Big McKernan was then clotheslined on the edge of the square in a questionable tackle minutes later that was a red and nothing given so I am still no further forward.

As to the match itself, this neither felt like a championship match nor looked like it. Cargins hard running at start of both halves opened considerable gaps in the Johnnies defence.  Apart from Bam, the Johnnies struggled at all sectors and only a showing in the last 5 mins of each half turned this from being an embarrassment to Antrim football. Hard to gauge where Cargin are at.

Glenavy was in fantastic shape but the neutrals (aka gate paying members from other clubs) didn't seem to be in huge attendance being put off by the venue.  That's not Glenavys fault of course, but something the moneymen will consider.

The Dunsilly setup beggars belief.  If its not fit to accommodate nearby parking for an Antrim U16 then where does that leave it for larger finals?? Owenbeg it is not.

Can help you out on ur question as to where 'Cargin are at' Spike..well they anticipate another senior championship appearance as the reigning champs, having already secured another league title and in the process outscoring all therein by a huge margin......as to strength and depth both the reserve league and championship titles already secured and are on the threshold of a possible unheralded four timer......

When you consider how critical gate money is for revenue generation within the county, location is key. Sad reality that Belfast Gaels are not as abundant as we would all like to see. If you want better gate takings, you have to go where the interest is greatest.

The answer is after the county final CB and nothing else that has gone on before this year matters

Ahh now Gizzy, no sarcasm here.

As a wise man once said, 'Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' Gizzy's comments are perhaps befitting or perhaps he has stayed too long in his social club.

Cargin are best placed to secure that highly commendable 4 timer of senior and reserve league and championship. That is a good indicator of where Cargin are at, to be fair. With the final most likely going to be Ahoghill they have a great opportunity for back to back titles. Being honest, that's a great position for them to be in.

Shaping up like an exciting finish to the year as both Galls and LD haven't given up yet and Cargin will need a consistent hour of top quality to get the job done. Still all to play for we will get an indication of the wellbeing of the city men on Wed night.

Why is that game tonight in Ahoghill???  Couldnt they have fixed it for somewhere round Belfast?  Im right in thinking Laem Dearg is just outside Lisburn?
