Great to see Cavan staying in what was a very peculiar Div 2, i must say the stats don't make great reading, average of 12 points scored and only one goal would make you wonder in what way are Terry and Liam McHale are making Cavan more expansive!!, and one solitary goal can't breed much confidence in the FF line. Anyway safety in Div 2 is safety, despite the cumbersome and defensive play needs must, another slow step on Terrys ,much quoted 4-5-8-10 year plan, its progress all the same. Good to see some of the fringe players getting game time on this trinket to New York...Cant help feel though that Monaghan will be wetting their lips hearing and looking at this trip by Cavan, some of the furore, meet and greets,and dinner nights, you wouldn't see from the All Ireland winners trip....I cant help think that the lads eye will be taking off the ball, while Monaghan put in the hard graft on their trip to Portugal!...i find it bit the circus going over a bit amusing and the timing perplexing, seems to me like it would be better timed at end of season and definitely alot LOWER KEY, but i hope they get some sort of benefit from it, even though can't how, maybe Monaghan will take a hiding from Dublin this weekend and help us for he big one!, ..An Cabhan Abu!

Its a good trip for the lads over in the US, all expenses paid - essentially a bit of a training and team building camp other than that I'd say they will get little out of the games as the championship 15 is probably picked at this stage (apart from injuries) - would have rather been facing into a division 2 final. Our next opponents are facing Dublin in croker - will probably get beaten but is worth far more to them than our games against NY ... Still its only gonna be friendly games now until the big one.

To be fair I can't see how this trip would hinder anything, plenty of teams go away on team bonding events, it brings the group closer together and camaraderie off the field among the players is a good thing.

Monaghan will be thrashed by Dublin this weekend whilst our lads have the benefit of a nice relaxing trip away.

the lads deserve it. hope they have a great time in a wonderful city. it's great for all the GAA people in New York too. it's not very often that they get any proper friendly matches in preperation for their annual match against their connacht oppenents.

how many of a panel have they brought over.

Sean66 i said it before. If cavan football annoys you so much then stop supporting tthem. You wont be missed. Oh and bring your other identities with you too. Bye bye now

Out of the 15 that started against New York I would be amazed if more then 2 of those players started against Monaghan

Sceptical.... It is county football in general that has become unwatachable and the blame lies totally with lazy coaching and negitive managers... I will never stop supporting Cavan but like many others cant stand their boreing style of play... Just look at our attendances for our 3 home league games...about 8000 turned up over the 3 games...that is patitic for a so called improveing team... Supporters know best and regardless of results they are not going to pay in to watch rubbish... Its not just Cavan but across the board

Sean66 (Cavan) - Posts: 440 - 11/04/2015 12:57:36    1712961

Only an idiot would continue to pay for the privilege of watching something which THEY class as rubbish!!

Yeh Sean66, do you sit there moaning constantly for the whole match? But then some people just love to moan.

fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 11/04/2015 15:32:26    1713006

How do you lads explain the poor attendances?

Cavanslasher.... They cant explain the poor attendances thats the point.... You can put it down to iggorance or stupidity but most who know anything about football would agree there is nothing interaining about the way Cavan play so they end up staying away... Reason explained....even they can work that out...maybe...!!!!

ANOTHER thread hijacked by the anti Hyland Brigade.... If ye put in as much effort to your clubs as you do finding reasons to berate management Cavan football would surely be on the up.
Have attendances been any smaller than League games other years? Any proof of that besides you wanting it to be true to support your point?
But anyway, two of our home games were played on horrible stormy nights, I know plenty who sat in and watched it on tv to avoid the elements. There was a massive crowd in Navan last week, we had a great vocal support in Portlaoise and Salthill (hard to judge numbers as there was a hurling game on too that day). Of course you lads wouldn't know that because you admittedly don't travel to games.

New York seems to be going well for the team. Seems they're putting in some very tough training . The talks from the NFL players won't have done mentality any harm and a few of the lads have commented on how motivational and inspiring they found it. I'd expect to see more first team players in tomorrow night's game.
Hopefully they can make a training camp an annual thing. Great for mentality and preparation.

Going really well Jon Smith....a last minute goal beats the mighty New York...great prep for Monaghan.... More like a waste of time and money in my opinion

Sean 66 did i not absolve you from all things cavan football. Please go away its for the good your own health you cant continue to debate a sport you call rubnish can you?

sceptical (Cavan) - Posts: 544 - 12/04/2015 10:35:57    1713186

Sean66 - say something positive, anything, please. No one can be this sad can they?

I take it all back. I think Terry Hyland is doing a fantastic job. We are competing with teams who were hammering us out the door a few years ago.



That's the spirit Sean ;)
