With Cavan's next competitive match 6 weeks away one would assume that matches like this would be invaluable to the squad in their preparation for the championship. How do you suggest Mattie and the management would approach a game like this? thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 04/05/2017 03:00:14 1984328 Link
Head for Oldcastle take the kells road, pitch on the right. Reco (Meath) - Posts: 419 - 04/05/2017 09:38:40 1984376 Link
they approached it by changing the club games from a sat evening as scheduled to a friday evening..more time off work wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1720 - 04/05/2017 12:55:02 1984445 Link
It's a pity they wouldn't change the reserve games too. Sunday at 2pm is a terrible time. No wonder so many teams are conceding fixtures. I'd be expecting another comfortable victory for Cavan over Meath. They are poor. Can't see them doing anything in Leinster in this year's championship. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 04/05/2017 13:42:04 1984455 Link
Replying To wishfulthinkin: "they approached it by changing the club games from a sat evening as scheduled to a friday evening..more time off work" Who told you that, or did you just decide it yourself? You know, get the first negative, pointless post in. Skelling (USA) - Posts: 289 - 04/05/2017 13:44:29 1984457 Link
These challenge games are meaningless and a total waste of time.... Why do Tyrone never play these games...? Sean.66 (Cavan) - Posts: 293 - 04/05/2017 15:41:25 1984504 Link
Replying To Sean.66: "These challenge games are meaningless and a total waste of time.... Why do Tyrone never play these games...?" Normally I'd agree but at this time of year and with the next competitive game six weeks away I'd say that the management see some use in it otherwise they wouldn't agree to play it. Although I doubt there'll be anyone from Fermanagh or Monaghan down watching, wouldn't you think it's a good chance for some of the players on the fringe of the team or younger lads to at least contribute to staking their claim for a starting place? thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 04/05/2017 16:19:40 1984511 Link
Replying To Skelling: "Who told you that, or did you just decide it yourself? You know, get the first negative, pointless post in." oh..so originally, this round off games weren't fixed for Saturday evening? my mistake wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1720 - 04/05/2017 16:26:14 1984519 Link
Replying To wishfulthinkin: "they approached it by changing the club games from a sat evening as scheduled to a friday evening..more time off work" So players should play two games in two days with no rest? Cavan need the game with such a long break and new manager. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 04/05/2017 17:30:17 1984538 Link
Replying To wishfulthinkin: "oh..so originally, this round off games weren't fixed for Saturday evening? my mistake" I didn't say they weren't. I asked you who told you that the games were changed because of the Cavan v Meath challenge game? A very straight forward question I thought.

Mattie told me...why, did you hear different? wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1720 - 05/05/2017 12:23:23 1984666 Link
Replying To wishfulthinkin: "Mattie told me...why, did you hear different?" Well are we having a serious discussion here or should I just say that another member of the management team told me differently? Skelling (USA) - Posts: 289 - 05/05/2017 13:20:01 1984683 Link
Replying To Skelling: "Well are we having a serious discussion here or should I just say that another member of the management team told me differently?" your man must have been fibbing..surely mattie would know wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1720 - 05/05/2017 14:39:11 1984714 Link
Replying To wishfulthinkin: "your man must have been fibbing..surely mattie would know" I'll take that reply as a "No" to my last question. Carry on. Skelling (USA) - Posts: 289 - 05/05/2017 14:52:04 1984720 Link

No need to be making predictions. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 05/05/2017 15:35:49 1984730 Link
Replying To doratheexplorer: "It's a challenge game. No need to be making predictions." Okay I'll take your instruction on board and endeavor not to predict the outcome of anymore challenge games. I'm new to this forum and didn't realise you were in authority. How silly of me to assume that some posters here would like to discuss/speculate on this game that is taking place 6 weeks before the championship. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 06/05/2017 06:04:22 1984778 Link

I just meant both teams will be experimenting and probably use 25 odd players. Predictions are a nonsence in that situation. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 06/05/2017 08:22:23 1984782 Link
Replying To doratheexplorer: "I just meant both teams will be experimenting and probably use 25 odd players. Predictions are a nonsence in that situation." The last thing they want is a defeat though. The Roscommon game really took the wind out of our sails. I was more interested in the setup of the team and if anyone knew of any new players that have been brought in since the league that might be tried out and stuff like that rather than the outcome to be honest. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 06/05/2017 11:16:48 1984796 Link

Hopefully some of u21s will be looked at. Meath are much improved under new manager so be good test. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 06/05/2017 12:08:29 1984801 Link
Anyone know how the game went? Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 07/05/2017 19:39:53 1985017 Link
