Is there any word of the Cavan selectors?we need Cavan people in the like Jayo? Dermot?Keogan? shannon414 (Cavan) - Posts:189 - 19/10/2017 20:52:24 2056348 What makes you think the above mentioned should be selectors on the county panel you have got to be joking for sure. Our from Jason winning a senior title with the gales that many could have done with them anyway what have they got to offer the senior set up for me nothing for you cannot buy success remember this. I hope to god Mattie will have no Cavan input into selecting our county players for let me tell you they are blinkered like the majority in this county. Time strangers came to the front and led their way with no interference from anyone in Cavan except the 30 odd players they will have in. Time to move forward so please we have plenty out there that have won two senior management titles in Cavan if it's a thing you want to use locals. I say forget them all. Stop listening to the same old rhetoric he played well they played well ect if at this stage he has not got an idea what is out there well we are F****D for sure. Leave him to his own devise and introduce a game into our players that will win games. Players coming into the panel injured is costing the county money if they are not fit enough tell them go away and get yourself fit and come back when they are ready and be assessed plain and simple. Players have been mentioned that were on the panel some were let go but the better ones had their education to finish and rightly so the Collins the Reilly's the Maloney Durham the list goes on. The GAA will not pay them so they put their personal future ahead of the county and rightly so. Some now have qualified so maybe they will come back this coming year time will tell.

Disaster of a draw in Ulster. Statistically very few teams win Ulster from preliminary round. Statistically very few teams win in Donegal. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 19/10/2017 22:17:52 2056395 Link 0 |

Let's solve this first then think about Ulster. I don't like the McKenna cup but unfortunately we need it this term. Be positive.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a disaster. Ballybofey is a tough place to go right enough but you can't let that worry you if you're serious about your footballing credentials. I think Donegal have fantastic footballers but I don't particularly rate Bonner and I'd give us a chance if we have our best players all available and Mattie shows some improvement. Win that and who knows after that. No easy games but no point wishing for the easy draw all the time.

I think if you check the stats over the years Donegal have been poor enough at home . Did Antrim not draw with them a few years ago? Or was it Fermanagh ? That Donegal team are on the decline . I'd fancy us for a result there quicker than I'd fancy a result in Derry. I actually think it's the best away draw we could have hoped for. I believe we can beat them in Ballybofey . They were very poor this year in the championship. Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 20/10/2017 11:33:46 2056501 Link 0 |

My god do you ever stop writing such rubbish. Quoting stats you never even bothered to confirm. Here are your stats in the last 7 yrs in Ulster Donegal have lost once at home (in 2010 vrs Down.) 2017 - 3-19 to 1-9 win V Antrim 2016 - 2-12 to 0-11 win v Fermanagh 2015 - 1-13 to 1-10 win v Tyrone 2014 - didnt play at home 2013 - didnt play at home 2012 - 2-13 to 0-9 win v Derry (after beating us in Breffni by 6 pts) 2011 - 1-10 to 0-7 win v Antrim 2010 - 2-10 to 0-15 defeat to Down. So I stand by my comment, they are very seldom beaten in their own patch. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 20/10/2017 12:40:19 2056537 Link 0 |

Didn't see it Sean but something needs to be done for the lower rated teams like us. We have it at club level. Imagine throwing in small Junior clubs into the Senior championship !! Like it our not we are not at the races either in the province or the national stage. StirringIt (Cavan) - Posts: 374 - 20/10/2017 14:49:48 2056583 Link 0 |

This is what i think could happen or best case scenario......... that is the best league fixture list cavan could have hoped for. now forget about second grade competitions and all the other negative stuff being thrown around about the cavan senior panel and setup etc. but this is a league that cavan are favourites for. make absolutely no mistake about that. People saying that Tipp and Clare won 't be easy games....of course they won't!!! none of them will, but cavan have the abilities to be going into those games expecting to beat them!!!! If cavan don't get promoted out of that league i will be devastated. Its time our boys became a bit more confident in their own ability WHEN they work hard!!!!! theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 20/10/2017 15:39:48 2056607 Link 0 |

Not that I think it will matter too much when Donegal and Cavan meet next May but Donegal are unbeaten in Ballybofey in league or championship since the summer of 2010 (v Down as a previous poster mentioned). At the moment both teams aren't in great shape but have plenty of time to get things right. Donegal will do well to stay in Division 1 this coming season as I can see alot of experimenting with tactics during the league campaign. Cavan should be in the mix for promotion and winning a few games will give them confidence come championship. Donegal should have a few players back for 2018 that opted out for one reason or another and with some of the younger lads that little bit older we could be in decent shape come May. Too early to say. We can start making predictions after the league.

I would tend to agree with you on your comments about Bonner. That said, he has spoken very well in a few interviews since getting the job about how Donegal need to change their style of football as it has become too easy and predictable to play against. It's one thing saying it but its another being able to pull it off but I do think we have the players to try. I wouldn't be a massive Bonner fan but I guess us Donegal folk have no option but to give him a chance. I also agree with you on Cavan, there is no reason why they shouldn't be getting promoted and winning Division 2.

I'm glad you didn't take what i said as an insult. I have a lot of close links and spend a lot of time in Donegal. So in effect they're my second team. Donegal has a lot of excellent footballers, lads that can play ball!!! Its disappointing how they have been set out to play. Our manager promised expansive football last year too and what we got was total fear and confusion. If both teams have a good league and that means Cavan getting promoted and Donegal consolidating i think this could be a ding dong battle. Ballybofey is a really compact ground also so the atmosphere will be good. here's hoping!! theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 20/10/2017 17:14:36 2056647 Link 0 |

Unbeaten at home for 7 years you say. But a other poster here said that if you check the stats Donegal have a poor home record. He's a very reliable source of information too. Apparently fermangh or Antrim drew with Donegal recently.

Hopefully our present manager Mattie in his 2nd year will have greater success against Donegal than the previous manager had over his 5 years. In saying that I hope Mattie has greater success against any county than the previous manager had .. ie Monaghan, Roscommon Tyrone come to mind . Did the previous Manager ever manage to defeat any of these in an important competitive match Maybe our stats man Fredflint could post our success rate? Seeing he so fond of the stats.

I said Donegal had very strong home record. You said they had a poor one. I proved you wrong and now you are deflecting to cavan record. No one was talking about cavans record. You really are showing your self up as being exceptionally childish. A sensible person would just admit they got it wrong about Donegals home record.

I believe we will beat Donegal in Ballybofey. Stats of their home record won't matter. Yes you were right Fredflint ... you feel better now! Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 21/10/2017 15:18:33 2056814 Link 0 |
