Antrim Football Thread

[JimStynes]

Don't worry, Marty Johnston is seeking clarification as we speak.

Is this Hardstation's new name? If so, have Rossa not got a decent group that could make a push in the football. They seem to be more focused on hurling though. The rich boys from Malone are coming but it'll be a few years before they're challenging at senior level.

The state of these posts on about the selection!! My god

Were you on the selection committee or what. You're taking this bad. The county all stars get questioned as well. It's all part of the thing. Although Decky Lynch selection is a joke all the same. I saw most of his games too. Must be trying to keep football going in Belfast with the odd selection.

Based on what we have saw from the SW, those lurgan lads are going to get some hammering 

[JimStynes]

It's certainly difficult to do both. Making a push either way is a possibility as seen with the hurlers recently. Doing both is probably impossible in today's game.

There'd be more of a chance with the football than the hurling surely?

Probably from the first challenge game lol.. and did CB really say that? The old rascal wait till I see him....

Good appointment by pg1 indeed, well organised and hard to break down along with some fast men on the break will be a formidable team, good luck to JMK

Not impossible, as Slaughtneil have proven, but incredibly hard to be at the top in both codes.

Pg1 favourites for the championship next year then.

Won't be far away, Creggan massive favourites though at this stage.

Cargin have to be favourites.

John might be a good coach/manager but to even start thinking about championships is way too earlier. Establish a pattern of play, spend couple of years perfecting it whilst bringing young talent through, has to be the aim.

Are u joking, a team that has been in the last three semifinals. Such bull shite.

Look at it in context.
Couldn't beat an average Aghagallon team this year, couldn't beat Creggan having a poor day last year, and loads of chances to beat average LD team year b4. Have avoided Cargin in all these years. So much to do.

You could easily look at it in another context! Not far away and the new manager will make a few tweaks and get you over the line.

[rogercasement]

Truth probably somewhere in between

Wouldnt necessarily say Aghagallon where an average team, they were far from average in the semi.  Wasnt at the semi last year for obvious reasons. But was at the match agaisnst LD at the dub. That was one of the best games ive ever seen in antrim football, was nothing average about it. You would be hard pressed to see a better game of football. It was simply brilliant to watch.

Make no mistake, pg1 are a cracking side and they will be competing for the championship next year.

RC, play pg1s chances all you wont, but there is no doubt about it that they are a major player in the antrim championship for years to come.
