Antrim Football Thread

Haven't looked back at the game tbf, so if I'm wrong that's on me but how I seen it was...

Three penalties were probably on reflection soft enough. The first one I did seek clarification on it being inside, player was impeded when about to shoot, so if its a free on the halfway line its a free in the square.

The Pat Shivers one was close, but, his jersey was being pulled outside but continued inside and that was why I gave it, had the Dunloy player let go once inside then it would have been a free not a penalty

Again people will see it differently and that is fine.

On the game, wow its hard to understand the pace the Dunloy lads have in attack. Their fight for the ball, the transition from defense to attack and the two pointers.. Cargin were probably a little more tense than normal and didn't take on scores that they normally would, keeping the scoreboard ticking as the say will generally tally up and before you know the other team is chasing the game.

Before yesterday there wasn't too many saying Cargin were or are a beaten force, I think Cargin will win more championships for sure, maybe even next year as the 'others' this year have been poor enough and not sure another year of training and new managers will bring them on..

As for lads playing both for the county can't see that, its about committing to one for the county and trying your best for the club, and not a dig at were we are footballing terms, but lining up against the Kilkenny's in Hurling to Leitrim in football, its not a difficult choice personally speaking of course

If I was from Dungiven I'd say "hi sir, fair play"

The first penalty missed was a game changer for Cargin.

In what sense? They were crap before it and continued to be crap after it.

The scoreline flattered Cargin. Dunloy brought their A game, their big players stood up. Direct play(kicking and running) tore Cargin a new one!
