Antrim Football Thread

[Hectic]

Lads just to clarify this would only be the case if he has his own umpires with him  Not the home and away umpires cheating like fcuk

Funny because it is so true. 

And if you think football is bad should see home and away hurling umpires, lot of them seem to think it is part of the remit as the 16th and 17th man.

But I don't know the exact process for umpire involvement in square ball anymore.  It is one that is very rarely called too.

[Hectic]

Curly McIlwaine puts the "was it out" debate to bed.

That picture is not conclusive.

Needed to be taken along the line.

Great shot though for the shape of the ball. And the terrible position of the near umpire - I'd like to think the far umpire called it.

[Take the Mark]

Relax BS, the illustrious antrim all stars are open for nominations tonight - you might get 1 of those for the mantelpiece to soften the blow of Paddy Mac not being there.

Lol lol lol...

The bots are out in force, and still no evidence to show the ball was out of play. But hey, let it go, it's over, we were in your head before the game and we will be in it again.

We move on. Hopefully Cargins superb game management continues in Ulster, good bunch of lads, and no ill will from PG1 whatsoever.

But be clear about one thing picture of innocence bystander. Your comment that PG1 don't know how to win and Cargin dont know how to lose will come back to bite you in the arse.

That was a battle on Sunday, Cargin do what they do, and PG1 go back to the well.

Mostly fair comments BS, but are other people calling these umpires liars? One in behind and one with a perfect view across? Look at the players feet, how far they are back from the line and also both players leaning back. Also look at direction of the angle the cargin outfield player is looking at across to action.
Come on lads it does look fairly obvious 

Great final, maybe not quality wise but action and intensity wise was best in years. 2025 will be an interesting one again

Your looking for evidence, evidence shows in the last 6 years every championship battle PG1 have been in they've lost, haven't beat Cargin since 2009 never won a senior championship, there's your evidence PG1 dont know how to win.

On the other hand winning 8 out of the last 10 championship's shows Cargin know how to win. (In Antrim at least)

I know alot of lads from PG1 who are proud of their teams performance and admit game could have went either way and possibly Cargins experince helped them on the line.

BS on the other hand you've been nothing but Salty.

Also never said they dont know how to lose, Cargin spent many many many years on the wrong end of results.

Irrespective of whether it was marginally out or marginally in look at the debate after a still picture from it and then consider these boys had a decision to make in real time with a short window of a glimpse at it.

I'll try TTM. What softens the blow is that around here we feel that the gap is now very close. It takes a lot of proper boxes to tick to win a cship, and Cargin learned that too, and now turn it into an art form. As I said before, it's up to others to find the key to this, and Casements are getting closer by the year. I'm confident that day will come.

Wouldn't it be great for Antrim football if there were 4 or 5 clubs genuinely in the mix year after year!

Lol lol lol...

The "bots" don't require any evidence as the decision was made by the umpire. Rather, it's incumbent on those who are seeking to question or undermine that decision to produce evidence to support their claim and you/they have...nothing.

[bannside]

Balls, it's not an appeal. Incumbent my arse.

[gallsman]

Balls, it's not an appeal. Incumbent my arse.

You're right, it's not an appeal. Just embarrassingly childish and insincere whining.

The video is going around that shows we had a good goal disallowed

[Milltown Row2]

In defense of the umpire the ball was played in and the players were backing into his position and he wasn't about to get trampled on by these lads, Kevin is a monster of a lad TBF I'd shift myself

[Spike]

Hard to believe this is still a discussion point. is the weather coming up as another excuse later?
Is Bigfoot real?    did the Americans really land on the moon or was it just a film set in Los Angeles? 

Is Elvis on this discussion board?

Again, I could throw up some messages or posts from before? People have views on things rightly or wrongly and like to express them, whether they are correct or not..

[bannside]

I represent myself here, not the club, so the view that we may have been on the wrong side of a marginal call is mine only, albeit it was a common talking point after the match.

This is an Antrim Football discussion board, if someone (anyone) posts an opinion then it's up there for debate. In this case a ball that was in or out that the ref made a huge call on that may have influenced the result of a county final.

Some agree this was an important talking point - others thinknit was a cheap shot - but this isn't the first time an on field decision has been questioned and it won't be the last, so wind your necks in and keep the personal comments out of it.

Re evidence, the slowed down version of Jerome's match video dosent show the ball over the line, that's all I've seen, and talked to our player who was confident he had kept the ball in play. I haven't seen this so called decisive photo of Curry's, despite some of those with an emotional attachment saying it was a yard out....others from a neutral perspective are saying its inconclusive.

Now I'm parking this up here, said all I needed to, been magnanimous of fact Cargin might have won anyway, wished them well, and if I see the photo and agree it looks out I'll pop back in here and say so, without any qualms.

The proper gaels of Cargin know I have reached out and congratulated them. Even CB himself! So that's my last word on it, if there's any more WUMs out there knock yourselves out.

lol I get that.  Just saying his position was terrible for trying to call that one.

And don't even know if he was the one that made the call.
