Antrim Football Thread

Just watched the tribute to Anto. A remarkable litany of moving and most meaningful testimonials from some of Antrims greatest Gaels. Well done to all involved..Anto - gone but never forgotten.

I hadn't realised he had played for LD. Why did he transfer to St. Paul's?

[JimStynes]

I suppose it's not that strange for Belfast men to play for several clubs. Thought the tribute video was brilliant, especially Kevin madden speaking. Would love to see the extended version.

Sweeny playing well for St Judes

[imtommygunn]

He's got a few Dublin club all stars. I think if he's played in the right position he is handy enough.

Was at Derry intermediate final today and took two things from it.
1. I wouldn't complain too much about our referees.
2. The standard of football at that level is definitely no better in Derry than Antrim.
Disappointed for Greenlough, they had enough chances though a wee bit like their near neighbours.

See an interesting video of Martin Kane on Twitter there from a second off in the semi final fit Greenlough, what are the views in this

I never realised he left Cargin.

Feel sorry for Marty in this regard. When I watched it the last thing I thought he was going to get was a red. In retrospect, maybe a yellow and a throw ball..If Marty had played it off the lower leg, and not at pace into the midrift, the ten yards were secure. Marty missed the final and Greenlough lose by a point, it's a cruel game and shows how finely balanced some of these decisions are. Hopefully that's not Marty's last act as a player, he would still grace any team.

Any referees like to offer a more discerning view?

[rogercasement]

Marty would have been more than welcome on our side of the bann but I suppose he didn't want to come against Cargin, fair enough.

When they move to county Derry......

He prob thought it be better to play 1b in Derry versus 1a in Antrim....

(This too is a lighthearted post and i wish you all well for the remainder of your Saturday eves)

Ah sure you've a man travelling to your training from county Derry without a bother....

Anyway, It was just a lighthearted return of serve to JimStynes from a couple of posts back. I wish him all the best.

I think you've took my post the wrong way. It wasn't a dig at anyone.

[JimStynes]

Fair enough. It doesn't look great though.

It definitely wasn't intended that way. I literally meant it's not that strange for Belfast fellas to hve played to have played for a few clubs. A lot usually start underage somewhere different to where they play u16 up to senior.
