Antrim Football Thread

[Cnoc Bán]

Firstly, congratulations to Cargin, great club, you know how to grind em out. Good luck in Ulster, all Antrim will be behind you.

Casements didn't fear Cargin before the game and round the club we feel like it's one we lost, rather than Cargin won.

The video is going around that shows we had a good goal disallowed, and we thought when Dermot was black carded, Mick got away with an exact same foul a few minutes later. Those things hit hard when refereeing gets it wrong or is perceived to not be consistent.

And we thought  Enda Lynn should have got a free in to level it in extra time.

Those who wish to comment please do so, just take the time to review the evidence beforehand.

Portglenone will suck it up, and will come back for more. Now that we know we can go toe to toe with Cargin for an hour, our challenge is to go find that extra couple of per cent.

Good luck Cargin, but don't go looking down your noses at us no more! We arnt far away...and best of all... youse know it!

Agree with that all, as a neutral, apart from the Lynn "free" at the end.

He was looking for it.

But ports were the better team (just lacking a quality forward) and I said from the moment the ball hit the net, that was a legitimate goal..... But typically Cargin were able to use their experience and influence to make the call for the officials.

Especially on the black card.... Karol has a lot to answer for on that one.

For a man that claims to be neutral you sure do put up a big fight for Portglenone

'Better team' 'Cargin influence officials' 'Karol to blame'

You might not be from either club but you seem to have a gripe with 1 club

You have to know where the biggest bite will come from otherwise where's the fun in it!

No bite as such just stating facts like -

Ball was wide

Cargin are your 2024 Champions

So much shite talk about a ball that was clearly wide at the time ,no protests from PG1 players either and our boys had stopped as knew it was wide
PG1 can think about it all winter if they want from what I hear cargin are back training already for the Ulster club

Well they have some areas for improvement which is always good to have going into Ulster

I'd agree MR2.  Blindly walking into Ulster thinking everything is rosy wouldn't have done them any good. Thought their tackling was good on Sunday but certain players continually ran into trouble on the ball which a better team will punish.

Joseph Finnegan is one EOC

Marc Jordan in the panel

Finnegan and Byrne on the standby list

I don't think any team blindly walks into Ulster club or thinks things are rosy either

U21 competitions start this weekend, shoved in at the end of the season just for the sake of it. When was the hurling equivalent played? I bet it was during the early summer.

Ended up a shit show because matches were scheduled around the July fortnight and a few teams had to pull out as players were on holidays.

Same thing happened with the Division 1 league final, its not really a surprise with antrim any more.

[Hectic]

Suppose we have no idea who the contenders are for U21? 

Did these teams compete at minor (though not a great gauge) or did they miss out with the switch from U18 to U17?  From memory I think we switched in 2021 meaning they wouldn't have had a minor championship?

Usual suspects Brides and Cargin?  Wee bit early for the strong St Paul's batch coming through?

Give me some dates that suit you, as I haven't had a free weekend doing the rest of the leagues juveniles the county games and the championships.

Not really a surprise when you think before typing

Cargin have at least half a dozen (closer to 10 I imagine) senior panelists who are U21 who will be concentrating on their Ulster fixture you'd think.

Hard to believe they have those numbers on that slow, old and crafty team.

Going back years and years this age group was rotated between hurling and football at the beginning and end of the season every year.
