Antrim Football Thread

[imtommygunn]

Antrim's leagues are different now though. Far far too many teams in division 1 - dunno how this was thought to be a good idea. How many other counties are like that?

not much we can do with the league structures now.  we just have to live with them and see how the year plays out.   normally the weaker teams will be hungry for points at the start of the year anyway so not much has changed but come late league or championship i would agree there could be some wallopings handed out.  we will only know at the end of the season if it needs to be readdressed.   

Important win for Antrim at the weekend. The league campaign has been fairly poor but thankfully the unanticipated gift of Offaly, Wicklow and Limerick being exceptionally tragic gave us a lifeline.

It is all about the championship, the only barometer that we have.  A good showing will confine the league campaign to the dustbin.

I cannot understand the league restructuring.  Many other counties have been trying to get less teams in the leagues in order to make them as competitive as possible.

But we here in Antrim seem to know better given the number of ulster championships & all-irelands we have in the locker.

Absolutely terrible. Did he play senior football?

Just reading some of the comments on social media. It's absolutely terrible and all too common. A fit young fella with a so much to look forward to in life.

God help that family and his friends.

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.

Excellent post Big G.

Sincere condolences from all at Casements, I believe a lot of our senior panel were at the very sad wakehouse earlier.

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.

Absolutely tragic for all involved this week and a sad cloud over the Toome & Duneane parish.

Puts in all into perspective.

Look after yourself and your mates. I know I've found alot of comfort in the depression thread on this board.
