A possible double double for the Toome lads.. some going there.

He would be a relation of Michael's bannside,Michael son is also a very good player.

[bannside]

The Toome conveyor belt is in full flow. Fair play...you put the work in Erins Boy you get the results. Hearing great reports too about Butchers fella as well...a chip off the block by all accounts.

[erinsboy]

Yeah bannside a few years ago we where wondering if we where going to be able to replace the likes of Tony Scullion ,Closy,Justy,Mick etc but it does now look that we have some seriously good players coming through again ,alot with good pedigree from  past names like the ONeills,McCanns,Gribbins,Shivers and Johnston's to name but a few all championship winning names with Cargin so the next generation is well and truly starting to make there Mark  on the senior team with more in the pipeline hopefully .

Used to hate playing Cargin at minor level. Always the right mix of ability and guile. There was a McLarnon (I think) who played minor around 1987. Thought he was a very skilful footballer, wonder did he play senior? That minor team was probably at the start of Cargin's rise at senior level.

87? If they still have lads playing who were minors at that period that's some going!

Okay! Cargin won their second championship in 95 when some of the minors of that vintage would have progressed to senior.
Mind you it surprises me the number of players who appear to be still playing at least reserve football into their forties. Time for a comeback. Where's the Tramidol?

[Bronco]

Some acheivement alright  although I wouldn't be surprised if they lose both finals,Creggan and St Brigid's will be gunning for revenge.

[Calm Down]

Brendan Toland doing the SFC final, give me strength, must be great to be a young aspiring referee in Antrim

[BigBallWeeBall]

Who would you prefer Calm Down, at least he's neutral

[Calm Down]

Who would you prefer Calm Down, at least he's neutral

Conall Roberts, Karol Doherty, Snoop, McDermott from Whitehill, maybe one of those from our Ulster and national panels

[Calm Down]

Who would you prefer Calm Down, at least he's neutral

And more to the point a doubt a ref has ever reffed his own team in a county final I.e off course he will be neutral

[BigBallWeeBall]

Calm down Calm Down you're frothing at the mouth lately. I merely meant that as he's from the Big Smoke then we can't say he's got a bias

I am perfectly calm and rational, indeed I would say it is you who is otherwise tonight given the resort to personal comments, no need to be like that Mr McDonald

[Belfast GAA man]

Mckeown and mccotter are tWo good refs from the city. Thought Toland was on his way out
