Antrim Football Thread

I think it's the guy O Callaghan who has all saints playing the way they are,plus the older players in the squad seem to have a big say behind the scenes regarding the set up,not to many listen to what the Baker shouts which is mostly abuse

What O'Callaghan? Sean?

Are they allegedly playing well? I saw them tonight, fist passing the ball to eachother along the midfield line back and forward, barely ever kicking the ball and conceding every single kickout. If this is playing well I give up.

If that's the criteria you have basically described every football team in the county/ country.

They've kicked 1-13 without kicking a ball and hand passing across the 65? Did mcnabb move the Cargin nets to the middle of the pitch or how did they score?

Yep, pretty sure that would be a good description of the Ulster Final the other day

14 scores is more than any team have got against Cargin so far, so that is mighty impressive if they were all fisted over from their own 65

Far from impressive ,got a few scores near end when cargin had emptied bench and had loads of youngsters on some even playing first senior games ,Ballymena been built up to be something they aren't imo very very average with a dinosaur in charge

Think you are missing the point of why some people have been impressed with Ballymena

They haven't been in Div1 for god knows how long, they aint established either and only got into Div 1 by means of the leagues changing, for a team to be competitive with other teams and win other games in a league that they have no recent experience of, is the reason why there has been a bitta chatter about them.

Playing Cargin would be a huge step up considering the panel they have and with the main players of Ballymena on the county team, it seriously deflates their ability against the bigger squad teams

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.

What's the draw for Ulster club this year?

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
