Antrim Football Thread

[Would ye whist]

I hope this is merely worded badly as if not this is in incredibly poor taste, Tomás has been an integral part of the Cargin set up and I am sure he was firmly in management plans for the rest of this championship, I am sure many would like Tomás in their side come the sticky end of the championship not only for his ability but also his experience.

Speaking of poor taste, I see our superstar ref tried to make himself centre of attention on social media, poking fun at a Whitehill player whom he sent of.................

Difficult to critique Cargin properly in this affair. Any football played came through them, though moneyglass clearly set their stall out to stop them at all costs. It turned tasty at times, and the typical poor officiating helped neither team. Thomas Mccann appeared to be badly injured. Big loss to Cargin going forward if so. Things shaping up for a massive 1/4 final v Creggan.

Not nice to hear of an injury but don't think will be too much of a loss. From chatting to a few within Cargin, might release a few others as has struggled for a few years and probably only holding place due to name.

Said ref would  be better focusing on his refereeing, for he is absolutely brutal.

Yep never nice seeing that sorta injury happen to anyone ,

Having been at the game it was a hard hitting affair and the ref lost control in the first 5 mins leading to a few incidents having seen the tomas incident in my opinion it wasn't a Malicious Act. Hoping Tomas makes a speedy recovery, then later on again tempers flaring and the ref made a balls of it probably could've been 2/3 red cards each, but Cargin pulled away in the last 10-12 mins after the red cards which I thought they looked real impressive.

Mick red card for striking with the head will that be 3 games?

A strike to the face when a player doesn't even have the ball is not a malicious act? Wise up! You clearly didn't see it live or the video of it. One of the most cowardly acts I have ever seen. And surely a severe retrospective punishment is in order if that's possible.

Agreed the ref and his officials lost complete control, biggest instance was the lead up to Mick being red carded, the moneyglass Nr7 runs in as a 3rd man . It's always stated the 3rd man is the worst as this is how rows escalate, He runs in and strikes Tom Shivers with an elbow resulting in him needing staples in his scalp, in full visibility of the umpire at the Tumbledown end. No punishment whatsoever for this. The umpire has a lot of questions to answer as does the referee from Tomas incident, again 3-4 metres away and gives a yellow card for a clear punch to the face which caused a serious injury. I think I wasn't alone leaving the ground on Saturday completely sickened with the sport.

Having never refereed its probably not far off Antrim senior standard ATM.

Having SEEN it live and on video slowed down to make it look worse, tomas passes the ball at the last second as the number 6 couldn't of stopped his momentum to block the ball and in the video u can clearly see his fist isn't closed, in saying that it was a bad hit yes I'd agree but saying it was intentional is ridiculous to me,

Yes I totally agree no.7 should've been black carded as he was 3rd man in but as I said the referee made a balls of it, both teams were very rough not just a one sided affair coming from a neutral no connection to either team,


As your from Cargin is there any word of tomas.

What are you smoking? Tomas had handpassed the ball away about 2 seconds before that and he came in and hit him in the face, where the ball was no where near in the first place. Duffin knew what he was at

2 seconds is very inaccurate. Thats a fraction of a second, hes made a balls of the tackle, totally accidental from an honest player

[AllStar15]

The ball is at his waist, why is his hand at his face?

I didn't see the incident (and maybe that means I have no place to comment) however I did speak to someone who has no skin in the game who witnessed it. According to him it was no accident, McCann was taken out.

I was at the St.Galls game and I thought they were a sorry sight. Poor all over the pitch, never at the pitch of it, it was a proper hammering. Brigids were defesively solid, Galls were a defensive shambles.
Brigids will be in the shake up, terrific young lad at 11 called Quinn. Very impressive. Young Duffy good too and one of the Derry Downeys controlled the game from half back. Big improvement from Cargin game where they were too slow and sideways.
