Don't think big Pat Shivers has enjoyed a start time in Saffron thus far....

Head scratcher..........

Hasn't the work rate or athleticism for inter county football

Must be that because ability certainly doesn't come into play with majority of the players on that panel...

If you can't get the ball you cant do anything with it

BTW This was directed at Shivers. As someone says its the way the game has gone and is the way it will stay

Think Cargin have 4 panellists......

You mean the dominant force in Antrim football for quite some time now

Also as for the Feile, complete disgrace how Sarsfield's conducted themselves some of our adult mentors even getting assaulted by their U15's

Wasnt at the game so relying on a good source

Cargin also scored a few late goals when the game was dead to put a gloss on the scoreline??

I was at it and your source has gave you a phoney account.
Listen I have seen many people comment on here within last 12 months about Bakers negative tactics, I commented something similar after watching them last night.
Ballymena scored their goal along with 3 or 4 points in the last 10 mins, Cargin were 7 points up at half time ended up scoring 6 goals, could have been 10. Just being honest.

You should have went yourself rather than rely on wee Paddy's report.
Ballymena are a well organsised team to be fair to them, just prob need to work on the fitness to keep the lung busting forward runs required up for 60mins

All hail the great glorious Cargin

The dominant force with one victory in Ulster
Think you need to remove the obvious dislike for your neighbours 667 and think again.....the 'dominant force'has more than a single win in Ulster......

Very sad news. Football is irrelevant when you hear things like that. Condolences to the whole Moneyglass community where no doubt he will be a huge miss on and off the field.

Yes you hit the nail on the head there.
You think Football is life and death, especially with some of the chat on here!!

The topic around Moneyglass on Saturday evening/Sunday afternoon was whether smileys red card was deserved or not.
And then......

I suppose the thing to be made aware is now, amongst all us men, is to talk. Talk more, ask your friend how you're keeping.
Whether its in the middle of a session, 6 pints in, or driving along in the car and the craic is good. Ask the question. Cause no one knows.

Yes, 99.9% of the time you're going get the standard answer - yes all good.

But maybe one time, someone will open up lives will saved.

Well said.

All well said but sometimes one tragedy in the extreme forgets to consider another.

Wee Jacks passing was and is mourned quite rightly by a multitude, but please give a thought to another young lad from Creggan who decided to leave this world far too soon, immersed in despair and loneliness.

Rest in Peace Joe Pat, back with his mum and dad.

Anybody know the format of football league Divisions 2 and 3...?

Is 'Gaelfast' a body only interested in Belfast based schools for their awards?
South West clubs with huge attendance at St Pats, St Mary's, St Pius x, and St Ronans not mentioned.

On another note, What the f+ck is the point in the restructuring of the leagues, all its going to do is make our intermediate and junior leagues weaker, going to lead to more dead rubber games at senior level.

Our "best" intermediate teams got hammered by a poor glenuillin side what the hell will our 4th best team not be like...

That is a question for the outgoing County chairman and his sidekick...could he have a vested interest...?

Cargin learnt nothing from last year. What's the point it just trying to contain Glen? 2 points from play this year, similar last year. Why not have a cut if your players are as talented as you say they are? Some bit of whinging this year and last. If that's the height of your ambition; to limit Glen to a 4 point defeat, then you're never going to get past a first round in ulster. As for us, this is all new territory and we'll enjoy our moment on the sun as we know we'll fall back into the pack like every other club does. I'm enjoying the ride so far, we'll see where it ends. Not playing that well this year but just about doing enough. Our wide count yesterday is worrying as they were from good positions and under minimal pressure. We won't get away with that down the line. Scotstown looking like the firm team, that was a big scalp to take yesterday. 9 county players, jack mccarron now transferred in, they'll be hard to stop I think

Think you need to gave a word with your 'stats man' S H Cargin did score three points from play, not a lot but  Glen managed just  one more...2 from J Doherty, one each from corner back Michael Ward and Ciaran Mc Faula.
The rest from placed efforts, a few questionable.....

As for outa form players did Conor Glass get a kick at all?

Think you need to take another peek and at your recording and keep fingers crossed the Cavan man may be recalled North if Glen reach the final...

Haha, you Cargin boys are shocking.
Suppose every other team that beat you every other year were being protected too? 1 win in Ulster and you would swear your one of the top teams. If Glen wanted to hammer you, they would have. All we needed to do was beat you and move onto the next round, simple as that. Them lads are building for bigger challenges. Now just enjoy your Antrim championship and be happy with it, you were never gonna win Ulster

Glen have had 2 goes at 'hammering' Cargin now and it hasn't materialised yet. Yesterday they couldn't manage it playing two thirds of the game with an extra man and Cargin unjustly having their best forward who'd started well sent off.  You may well hammer the rest of the Derry club teams, but maybe your much lauded club scene isn't just as good as you think it is.

Glen players lying around holding their heads after no contact (Tomas' red and John Carrons yellow) was a total embarrassment from Derrys best club team.  This from a team and a club who whinged like babies and wanted a replay for a guy not interfering with play on the pitch for a few seconds last season.  Class act on and off the pitch it seems!!!

Let's see how that building for bigger challenges goes. There will come a point when you're not the precieved big match favourite beforehand and you won't have a weak referee out is his depth pandering to you.

Go easy on the Watty boy he has to finish his homework...
Sure his team have won an amazing 3 county titles and are chasing the likes of Bellaghy and Ballinderry.....who were real champions.

Despite a productive youth programme which has paid dividends for St Brigid's for years wonder whey the had to borrow, a lad from Michael Davitts (sanction) for the under 19 final.....

Theres a panel. Think likes of mctaggart on it. Boys that would attend a lot of games

B Crossan runs the show.....regular at many games...??

Antrim all stars shortlist released. I know the funding maybe isnt there for it but id like to see one for each grade. Seann Elliot up against C Johnston. Both deserve one. As do D Smyth and N Swann at 6

Agree with that, some positional changes to suit some but to have both those lads at 10. isn't right.

It's a nonsense and really is a waste of time.

Neither of those two at six are fit to lace Paul McCann's boots. Anyone who can't see how integral he is to how Cargin play really shouldn't have a vote.

Shifting players like Conal Cunning around into a corner forward slot  who get plenty of airtime just so he gets an award farcical and disrespectful to any genuine corner forwards who lined out in intermediate and junior grade.

Definitely agree Oso....votes do not matter in this...
A few individuals select the line up, and they will determine the winners.

So, which other team other than Gall's or Cargin has made it through the first round of Ulster in the past 20 years....?
