Replying To Cavan_Shambles: "What? Never heard of him before. Where does he play? How often has he played for Cavan?" Plays midfield. He's in his 30s. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 08/06/2018 20:23:29 2108795 Link
Replying To Cavan-Hero: " Replying To TheBlackDeath: "I'm be siding with The Celt on that one. I haven't read the article (being an exile), but I have seen Paul Fitzpatrick, The Celt's sports editor, defend the article on Twitter. According to him the player in question's solicitor is the one who brought up and made a big deal out of his client's football. The Celt simply reported on that fact. Tweet: link balls.ie name the player: link" The Celt made the most of it Open up the Court pages and there are 6 or 7 different sections.....and this one has the biggest headline. Obviously they cant not put it in the paper, but they definitely gave it more attention than it needed. I would have been more impressed with the Celt, had they labelled the Donegal performance woeful, and went into detail on why, but they didnt......but thats a different argument" His solicitor made the most of it trying to get him off. This is a disgrace that they are boycotting the celt. The paper didnt make him do it. tom84 (Cavan) - Posts: 247 - 08/06/2018 23:23:23 2108839 Link
Replying To TheBlackDeath: "Team has been released for tomorrow's game. McVeety down as starting in the full forward line, but assume he'll drop deeper and run at defenders. I'm not familiar with the McCormack lad from Ballyhaise named in midfield, is he a good ball-winner? Starters: 1. James Farrelly 2. Killian Brady 3. Padraig Faulkner 4. Enda Flanagan 5. Ciaran Brady 6. Conor Moynagh 7. Martin Reilly 8. Sean McCormack 9. Killian Clarke 10. Bryan Magee 11. Gearoid McKiernan 12. Oisin Kiernan 13. Caoimhin O'Reilly 14. Dara McVeety 15. Sean Johnston Subs: Raymond Galligan Cian Mackey Conor Bradley Adrian Cole Niall Clerkin Jack Wharton Dan Wharton Dónal Monahan David Brady Niall Murray Paul Gilcreest" If a full strength Cavan gaels team played that Cavan 15 (substitute Mackey in for Johnston), what do people think the result would be?

Replying To GallantJohnJoe: "If a full strength Cavan gaels team played that Cavan 15 (substitute Mackey in for Johnston), what do people think the result would be?" Think it be a tight game but Gaels mobility around middle could overrun Cavan. Having said that Gearoid could do damage. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 09/06/2018 09:22:09 2108870 Link
Replying To GallantJohnJoe: "If a full strength Cavan gaels team played that Cavan 15 (substitute Mackey in for Johnston), what do people think the result would be?" The Gaels would certainly run them close, perhaps even beat them. It's beyond belief that this is how things have transpired after our underage success. Just 10 out of 75 lads who played u21 from 2010 to' 14 are on the panel. Cavan_Shambles (Cavan) - Posts: 406 - 09/06/2018 09:32:14 2108874 Link

It ridiculous to believe Cavan Gaels would be Cavan. We are a Div 1 team. Cavan Gaels cant even beat most clubs in Ulster. Get real and stop ridiculous conversations like that. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1333 - 09/06/2018 13:51:52 2108931 Link

Replying To fredflint: "It ridiculous to believe Cavan Gaels would be Cavan. We are a Div 1 team. Cavan Gaels cant even beat most clubs in Ulster. Get real and stop ridiculous conversations like that." Also a fair point. Cavan_Shambles (Cavan) - Posts: 406 - 09/06/2018 16:42:09 2108964 Link
Replying To blueman1903: "Fully agree with you fredflint." If Cavan cannot beat this Wicklow by more than fifteen points they are going no place fast. Dublin beat them by twenty seven points pulling up so if Cavan have any crazy aspirations of getting to the super 8 they would need to show us the supporters they have the quality. I for one don't think the quality is there and has not been for many years. It will be easy enough for them I just hope it does not go to their heads. Looking forward to getting a quality team Monday morning. mowbar (Cavan) - Posts: 452 - 09/06/2018 16:46:26 2108967 Link
Pretty pointless exercise tonight. Wicklow just so bad. onward to the draw. Please please give us our favourite neighbours... MadgeKing (Cavan) - Posts: 489 - 09/06/2018 21:08:45 2109099 Link

Replying To BlueHeaven: "Too bad it was only 14 points. Season over unfortunately." Well one point short but only scored 8 points to Wicklow's 1-4 in the second half. Sadly they will not hack it against the bigger guns and I suppose they will be hoping for another easy team but is their any left that this Cavan team can beat. Not sure if Tyrone are in trouble when they struggled to beat a Meath team I wonder would Cavan be better off getting them Monday morning. I suppose they will be hoping for a softer touch. A win is a win so will it benefit this very weak Cavan senior team to develop ????? mowbar (Cavan) - Posts: 452 - 09/06/2018 22:37:23 2109165 Link

If you did you would know Cavan cannot draw Tyrone on Monday. Game was over at half time, don't know how you could pay any heed to the 2nd half score. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1333 - 09/06/2018 22:49:15 2109173 Link
Let's hope for a crack at Monaghan or Mayo on Monday morning. Cavan_Shambles (Cavan) - Posts: 406 - 09/06/2018 23:44:27 2109201 Link
Such a pointless post. What point are you trying to make? It's a measure of Cavan Gaels if only one of their players can make the Cavan starting 15. Anyways, tonight we did what we had to do as we can only beat what is in front of us. The question I would ask is where have the Cavan supporters gone??? mystic meg (Cavan) - Posts: 228 - 10/06/2018 00:23:27 2109217 Link

Replying To Cavan_Shambles: "Let's hope for a crack at Monaghan or Mayo on Monday morning." Can't get Mayo. Our possible oppenents are Clare, Tipp, Longford, Carlow/Laois, Leitrim, Sligo, Monaghan or Down. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 10/06/2018 09:39:15 2109272 Link
The game was done and dusted after 20 minutes last night. We play a beaten provincial semi finalists next. We could draw a Monaghan or a Tipperary or on the other hand we could get a Leitrim or a Sligo. We can only play a Tyrone or a Mayo in the following round, however, lets take it one game at a time. kildare blue (Cavan) - Posts: 572 - 10/06/2018 09:55:18 2109281 Link
Replying To Cavan_Shambles: "Are you sure about that Fred? It's an open draw this year is it not, I thought they changed the rules?" First round was open draw and next round too. The difference this year is no A and B side. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 10/06/2018 10:45:58 2109305 Link
