Seriously .....I would be mindful in the next few weeks and months of new members joining up with agendas. I hope I don't have to be the only one who spots them

I've spotted an imposter already- the real "Milltown Row" was an angelic creature, who never did anything wrong !

A wee bit of the topic of conversation here, but can anyone tell me where we got the saffron colors come from. Aye know back in the day  the team that won the County, that particular clubs strip was used to represent the County team as was custom back then. However though, where did the club that won get their colors from. The reason I ask is that a group of people from Ireland at one time fought for a Scottish army against England. They were mostly from Moyle and Dalriada area. They wore saffron armbands to distinguish themselves. I was just wondering was their a connection with this and our County colors? I'm probably way off... 

I was in a pub one night and a boy tried to tell me Antrim wore saffron because of the profileration of daisies, primroses and daffodils in the Glens. Luckily I was able to point out that the county colours do indeed come from a club strip, that club being the now defunct Seagan An Diomais (or Sean a' Diomas depending on where you hear about them). A Belfast club who represented Antrim in both the 1911 and 1912 All-Ireland football finals.

I haven't been chatting to anyone ...what with the dark evenings and all. Anyone hear how it went?

Just had a wee squizz through the guestbook on the Antrim web site and I have to say I like the Admin's caustic approach to responses.

He/she doesn't mince their words in the slightest, oddly refreshing IMO.

Who would be coming out of Antrim this year at junior level? The local club in Birmingham played Armoy last year just wondered who was in contention this time round.

I suppose it kind of works given the standard of 90% of the posts on there.

St Teresa's won the antrim junior but got knocked out of the ulster mad dog.

It looks like the Donegal champions will be the ones you'd be worrying about.

The shame of it is, that it is likely one of our paid officals replying to the posts on there, hardly what you would call essential work.

(wait for the reply now  )

Ok that much i've got "saffron sam" thanks. But where did Seagan An Diomais get their colors from? No one seem's to know..The thing is the few clothes in my wardrobe are mostly saffron and I haven't a clue of the origin..
