If the Rossies beat us then I will wish them the best of luck afterwards and hope they go on a long way in the All Ireland series and I will be cheering for them. Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 02/07/2014 18:33:27 1612806 Link 0 |
Ned, you talk about our big men at 8,9 and 12, and i do admire Givney, GMAC and Argue, they are all fine footballers, but i cannot recall any of them ever dominating a game from midfield for Cavan. They all have the ability to do so but to date they have never cleaned out the opposition, i think they are all more interested in going forward and getting on the score-sheet. For real inter-county footballers playing midfield the only yardstick to measure them by are clean catches, utilisation of possession and domination of the opposing midfield. These guys have the ability to do that, so it will be a great tragedy if we never get to see them deliver on their potential. They are young, granted, but should be in their prime, now is the time to see them deliver!! bunnoe1 (Cavan) - Posts: 60 - 02/07/2014 20:02:57 1612870 Link 0 |

The chap that claims this upcoming competive senior championship game is a dead rubber needs to have a long hard look at himself. Cavan has a great to progress with this draw you can't ask for much more than a home draw and avoided kildare,monaghan or rematch with Armagh. Cavan will be driven by revenge for losing the div 3 final and the rossies go into this game without man of the match donie shine. Mr_Pundit (UK) - Posts: 677 - 02/07/2014 20:49:48 1612899 Link 0 |
This should be a good game and a real test of where we are at, win this we emerge with some credibility for the year, sorry but promotion while welcome is not enough. Given the pool of talent that has emerged through minor and under 21 in the last five years we should be far more advanced in our development. There are a lot of players on the panel and indeed the management too who need to deliver a solid gold performance against Roscommon. Westmeath was a start but we need to deliver a 70 Minute sustained performance from everyone . If we do we are in with a real chance of genuine progress and will command the respect of pundits and the GAA public, it's in our own hands. No excuses about injuries or absences, the panel is big enough to put out a good team , properly motivated and tactically smart to win. I am not the biggest fan of the current management, don't like the style of play, but I wish them we'll and want to see them succeed. Cavan by 4, yes we can. shannon414 (Cavan) - Posts: 228 - 02/07/2014 21:10:17 1612913 Link 0 |
For some reason a lot of emphasis seems to be placed on donie shine been missing thinking this will effect the result OhtobeARossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 1764 - 03/07/2014 08:47:33 1612969 Link 0 |
Would have to agree with above poster, to much emphasis on Shines absence. desagov (Cavan) - Posts: 208 - 03/07/2014 11:36:05 1613065 Link 0 |
Donie shine was given man of match because without him Roscommon would have lost that league final. Mr_Pundit (UK) - Posts: 677 - 03/07/2014 11:37:07 1613066 Link 0 |

I would still be optimistic for Cavan even though we are down a few lads from last year like K. Clarke, Dunne and Mc Veety. I hear Terry saying that if he has to use the Junior lads , that he will. I think that he is looking at possibly starting Moynagh and Tinnelly and also a role for Paul'O Connor maybe. I would agree 100 % with this as you always use your best players and your Senior team takes priority. Every team I ever played with this was always the case.

Anybody know what the story is with Mackeys injury, is he back in full training as he looked to carrying a few pounds. desagov (Cavan) - Posts: 208 - 03/07/2014 16:32:26 1613271 Link 0 |
Mackey will not be fit for full training for the rest of the year BootIt (Cavan) - Posts: 136 - 03/07/2014 17:05:36 1613293 Link 0 |

Martin Dunne hand injury must be healed at this stage yes /no. Mayo forwards missed 6 or 7 easy kicks for points in the first half against Roscommon which we cant afford to do. Every chance we get must be converted or we will exit the Championship. I am concerned where are scores will come from as all squad are either midfielders or defenders.

What is the nature of Mackeys injury? desagov (Cavan) - Posts: 208 - 04/07/2014 20:42:45 1613949 Link 0 |
People talk so much about Shine's injury. Do people forget we are missing Mackey, Dunne, Keating, Clarke (all Ulster All Stars last year), Kevin Tierney, Ronan Flanagan (arguably our most experienced player) and McVeety from last year. That's seven starters so half of our starting 15 almost. Fergal Flanagan also missed last game. We've a string panel but those losses would hit any team.

There's meant to be 2 hurling qualifiers on and I'd bet my bottom dollar that Clare v Wexford will be shown before they televise our game, especially after the game they played today, great game of hurling. decky (Roscommon) - Posts: 384 - 05/07/2014 20:37:58 1614223 Link 0 |
