ok two hours before my first pint (well of today), sun glassess and baseball cap ready, St Galls polo shirt ironed (thats a first)

my pass out only lasts till 6.30 then i'll be collected by her indoors

see you all on the terraced side £13 only

Ack i'm hearing rumours that Dooher's not starting, now O'Neill. We'll see tomorrow. Both the Clann men have been flying lately. Takes little to start a rumour.

Really looking forward to tomorrow. Hate Casement as a ground, but the weather and spirited Antrim support should make for a great atmosphere in contrast to that muck raking dud last week. Antrim would need to make it a contest this time, hope they do in fact.

No better pitch in Ulster than Casement. granted the ground could do with a make over but you'll never play on a better pitch.

Antrim by 1

he was having a dig at the St Galls players, Antrim were shite collectively against Sligo and the management in my view and i put it on here at the time should have kept the players who had nearly won promotion on.

my point being that Cargin should win is tht they have 6+ players playing at a different level to St Galls, i'm being pedantic of course

has anyone read the Sunday Life? i'm embarrassed by the write up from Damian Walsh

just read Scullion's match preview and histake on the came coming up, usual stuff 'we're no world beaters' 'no medals won' 'Antrim havent gained any respect'

then he goes on to say that the Galls lads didn't adjust to the step up from county and club games in the last few games they played for Antrim!!

so by that train of thought Cargin should win the County Final this year as they have 6 players on the county squad training at a level above club teams so thats a serious advantage for them.

who beat Cargin in the league this year??

i'm worried they will have a bed ready for me!!!! i'll call for one

Harte's faith in some of the older players is worrying. He's picked a number of players that have shown no form and a number that have had next to no game time. David Harte, Ricey, Swift and Dooher can consider themselves fortunate to get starts. I hope I'm proven wrong but the decision not to use the younger players will hurt the team in the long run regardless of the result.

Sean O'Neill must be wondering what he has to do to get a start. Cathal McCarron deserved a start. Forward line looks strong but I don't think I'm the only one with concerns about Dooher starting. We could be badly shown up for pace.

lads your worrying far too much, there are at least 30 other counties that would love to have your players.

Antrim will improve on last years Final and would not be surprised if Mickeys team named is not the way it will line out

well i'm starting off bout 1.30pm at the club, then head up to Casement for about 2.30

we can beat that, cant we?

Just reading through your carbage JohnJoe,  You seem to have some personal issue you need to sort out with me.  Im sorry Delargy embarressed you lot - its just not the way football is done in my eyes. You talk about these hiding places - least i get to the stage were i can hide as you say.  Anyway this is me so who are you and stop hiding behind your little computer screen.Dont expect you too as one of you qualities is prob a lack of balls-prove me wrong. slan

Johnjoe, minder

would be bad craic on the county if they are supporting a player who turns out for his club when fixtures are in place for games.
Tir na og is a small club with players mainly dual players.

Baker might have lost the plot on this

aye pm you as the last person shit himself when Magill came on here wanting to level someone who had a pop at his performance for Antrim a while back!!!!

Rossa beat Clooney by 4 (no stolen phones to be reported)
Johnnies beat St. Galls handy enough.

yes the Johnnies won handy enough. was not at the match but heard we had a man sent off which wouldn't help, coupled with the county players unavailable due to the game on Sunday its unfair on the  lads.

think we must be the only Club to have 10 representatives for their county, seems that the bigger clubs don't get anything out of producing quality players that end up being with the county more than their club. I'd say at a stretch the county players manage 10 league games a year with their club.

on a side note our Division 4 team beat St Agnes up in woodlands. was not for the purist but was mighty exciting!!!

i think the ball must have been attached to my shins as they are black and blue today!!

I hoping for a good start from Antrim on Sunday, if the pressure is kept on Tyrone then anything can happen.

I'd say Antrim will have a 8 man defence and we will find it hard to create scores. there will have to be a serious amount of support play and lads will have to empty the tank. so it will be good to have the likes of Kevin there to maybe come on and take on Tyrone, as physically we are small (bar Magill if he is playing)

should be a low scoring game. 2-12 to 1-14 for Antrim!!!

Joe said if that tackle happened in a hurling game there would be no fuss, seems they are trying to sanitise football, have no idea why they are pushing this but they are ruining the game

the Tipp goal Keeper is massive. i think a forward would defo duck out of a fifty fifty ball with him
