Antrim Football Thread

[Milltown Row2]

Let's agree to disagree, you obviously didn't read when I said referees have bad games.

But for me disciple is how I went with management, 15 players on the pitch and discipline in the tackle is the way forward, why you would get involved in an off the ball scenario  or red card offence is beyond me. Lose a player you lose a match.

At senior level, championship, tackles and emotions are at the max, you'd prefer non contact sport and that's fine, I prefer to let lads get familiar and once things settle down we can play hurling/football.

Not every tackle is a foul btw

Referee bashing is popular at the minute, supporters management and players.

The ref on Friday night did not get Portglenone beaten as original fellow club poster said. We simply kicked ourselves out of it, missed to many clear cut chances that would have put the game to bed. Ahoghill punished that, and deserve credit for coming back strong, as they have done before. As big Hoof says, they have made this kind of victory against the odds an art form for a decade.

Sometimes you are on the right side of these encounters, sometimes on the wrong side. It's what keeps us coming back and makes our games what they are.

This group is wide open, all have won one and lost one!

Yes this is pretty much the analysis of it bang on.  Well said.
Why did Casements not have big McKeever playing?

Just a precaution CK. Will be ready for the return legs hopefully. Dermot a huge loss though he has been going really well this year. Typical of Dermot to go for a 30/70 ball, not blaming Ahoghill player at all, it would have been the same had it been the other way around!

I wish Dermot well. So unfortunate. A fantastic player!

heating up a bit in senior champ tonight I' d say - Johnnies Rossa should be fireworks and LD Aghagallion could go either way
Hope Moneyglass get a few scores this time against MoneyCargin

As a neutral what would be a better game to go to. St Galls v Creggan or Johnnies vs Rossa?

Rossa and St John's. Or take a spin to the Aghagallon and LD game.

Ld aghagallon on Facebook live.

Some turnaround for st brigids beating portglenone after the beating they took first time. Creggan seem to have the measure of st galls handy enough. I only saw st endas won well apart from that.

[imtommygunn]

Rossa beat St. John's too. Good turnaround for them. Some of those groups seem tight enough.

[JimStynes]

LD beat Aghagallon handy enough in the end.

looks like that one will go to points Difference if im reading it right
|think MoneyCargin and Creggan only teams through so far

Group 1: Cargin top, joined by whoever beats moneyglass by more between st johns or rossa
Group 2: st brigids top, portglenone 2nd assuming they both beat ahoghill
Group 3: Any 2 from lamh dhearg/ st endas / aghagallon
Group 4: Creggan top, st galls second


Quarter finals
cargin v st galls
creggan v st johns / rossa
st brigids v lamh dhearg/ st endas / aghagallon
portglenone v lamh dhearg / st endas / aghagallon

cargin into the semis, with the other 3 up for grabs

Assuming pg1 beat Ahoghill is a hell of an assumption going on what I saw tonight.
