"Hey Damien, hey Kevin .... did you hear the news? Baker's in the Final!"

why would Cassidy and Madden have their head in their hands over this great day for Antrim,I cant speak for Cassidy but watched Kevin Madden give his all for his county for 10 years and seen him along with other ex-Antrim footballers at Clones on Sat and he was totally elated.So please on this great time for Antrim football please keep your petty Derry squabbles to yourself.Thanks.

Get off yer high horse ....

Just thinking about this (and I feckin shouldn't be!) but who would he replace on the 15? The only one I think he has a chance of getting a place from is Cunningham, the captain, only because he is a similar type of player. Michael McCann and Burkey are in there to do a job that CJ wouldn't have the physical stature to do. Burkey didn't have a great day against Donegal but was in the running for man of the match today. He was outstanding. The only other is Tomas McCann, who is playing very well.

Sean Kelly would be replacing Loughrey, Crozier or Scullion. All of whom are having blinders.

No. No chance.

CJ cant win his own ball--i wouldnt have him near that team--he'd crucify us

Kel is great but those 3 half backs are flyin and could not be bettered--even by kel

Hi Ho Silver away

Sore head...very sore head

Antrim were by far the better team and a 10-12 point victory would have been about right.  Great performances all round the pitch but having watched the match again this morning James Loughrey was simply outstanding.  I'm away to throw up again.

did you see Locky looking one way and then running the other just before his point--it was like Ronaldinho (and i hate soccer but thats the only comparison)

the man never stops, theres something not right about him --how will Dooher keep up with him

[Gold]

i actually have lost my voice for the 1st time in my life--we never once stopped singing--when cavan got the goal--we were the ones who sang

best day of my life bar none

agree 100% would love Kelly back on the panel but wouldnt change the hb line,as for the McGourty clan think we are much better without them,fine footballers but up their own arses and I think bringing CJ or Kevin back in would distroy that great team spirt that seems to be in the camp.

Good man!
Might I respectfully suggest that beating Cavan (are we now the worst team in Ireland on that performance?) being the best day of your life is pretty sad.

dont think he meant it was beating Cavan,think he meant it was getting to an Ulster final after 39 years

[magpie seanie]

Absolutely delighted for Antrim. Didn't see a lot of the game but the scenes at the end were magic. I think they'll give a good account of themsleves in the final too. Antrim GAA has huge potential and finally looks to be moving in the right direction.

[nifan]

Very happy for antrim.
A former housemate of mine was playing and im particularly delighted for him .

[ifa fan]

Great win for antrim.

Even though im not a big GAA person, Im all for sport in belfast, keeps the kids off the streets.

[Hollow Man]

dont think he meant it was beating Cavan,think he meant it was getting to an Ulster final after 39 years

And how did they manage that? 

[Archie Mitchell]

I wouldn't worry about them Hardstation. Just because they have won All-Ireland's in the past doesn't give them the right to look down their noses at the likes of Antrim. They should be thanking their lucky stars that Antrim didn't bate them out the gate on Saturday. I don't know how anyone, even a Cavan person, could begrudge Antrim their win on Saturday and their first Ulster final appearance for 39 years.

[RednBlack]

Ìn fairness I haven't met one Cavan supporter who begrudged Antrim their win. All the way through the Antrim boys wanted it more and were willing to work their arses off to get it. I firmly believe Antrim will have 7 counties cheering them in Clones in a few weeks time. The atmosphere at the end reminded me a lot of 97 and you couldn't but be happy for the Antrim players and supporters. Good luck in the final.

[BallyhaiseMan]

Hardstation what the f**k is wrong with you?
There has been nothing but messages of support and congratulations from the Cavan posters on different threads including the Antrim football one.
We are disgusted with how poorly we played, and our lack of fitness and lack of a game plan.
But everyone of the Cavan posters on here have stated clearly Antrim were much the better team on Saturday and should have won by far more.
Ive also seen multiple message from Cavan posters including myself wishing Antrim the very best in the Ulster Final.
We may live in cuckoo land in regards of our football prowess,but one thing the Bunch of Cavan posters on this board,are not are Bad losers.
