What a wonderful day to be an Antrim supporter. We beat those bastards from Sligo. A man called Tomas McCann scored a wonderful goal that would rival anything seen in La Liga this season. He took the ball on his chest and from 55 yards out he half volleyed it straight past the hapless Sligo bastard keeper. The crowd of about 50’000 in unison leapt to his acclaim and a volley of shots were heard at the Andersonstown end. It capped off a wonderful performance from the Ants and it was great to send those Sligo bastards home with nothing. There were great performances from Cunningham whose redhead didn’t seem to hamper him in terms of confidence.
On second thoughts I’m not sure if a goal was scored but McCann, weighing in at 8 stone and 4 foot 5 inches was a mighty presence despite his obvious handicap. Kerr in goals was a colossus and conceded no goals, something an Antrim keeper hasn’t achieved since 1991. He even managed to purposely concede 3 45s so that he could be seen on the TV. Conor Murray was also a prominent figure and appeared to be wearing Armani underwear which pleased my homosexual father.
A great start to the league and the carnival on the Andersonstown Road was something else. Onwards and upwards.
