Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Why did they not just stick to the pre determined semi final draw…. With this we could end up with a boring Dublin / Kerry Final every year… no thanks" That's probably the only likely final that wouldn't be boring. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5194 - 15/06/2024 17:00:54 2551642 Link

Great that it's over for another year, instead of dragging it out into July. wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1720 - 15/06/2024 21:24:19 2551717 Link

Replying To veterngaa: "At least beat Monaghan in the Ulster Championship eh lads......." Yes, Tom, it's a small consolation but one we enjoyed immensely. When two local rivals are in a relatively poor place, it is ever more important that you put your rival in their box as often as you can. We would rather challenge for honours but will have to be content for now with dominating little Monaghan. KingdomofBreifne (Cavan) - Posts: 152 - 16/06/2024 10:22:14 2551786 Link

The talk coming into this week is complaints about the championship structure … as I mentioned a few weeks ago the Ulster championship means nothing in the scheme of things … if Monaghan win today it will be another year of advancing further than Cavan .. nothing new there but you keep celebrating your win over us as the pinnacle of your season veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 651 - 16/06/2024 12:16:12 2551815 Link
Just as I suspected Roscommon played a more open type of game compared to the way they set up against Dublin.. this led to a more enjoyable game with lots of good scores… All over for Cavan now and it won't worry too many I'd say… Crowd was very small yet again which just proves people have no appetite for this type of championship format… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3029 - 16/06/2024 12:55:40 2551828 Link

Local rivalry, especially jealous jabs at a bigger and more successful neighbour, is what the gaa was built on. As a bonus, Tom, your regular posting under this handle, as he'd say himself, means our other frequent Monaghan visitor doesn't get the chance to post his 'hilarious' Cavan jokes and dry humour.

Now we are involved in high scoring games which we get well bet in, the blame for bad crowds is the championship structure. Crowds are bad lad because supporters are not hopeful of winning. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1485 - 16/06/2024 16:39:29 2551919 Link

Replying To veterngaa: "The funny thing is you think for some bizarre reason im some Tom person .. will gladly sort that out if you wsnt to meet up" No, I don't need to meet you, Tom. You're welcome to keep posting here as a Monaghan poster. It gives us a break from that other identity. Though, at least your other handle 'claims' to be from Cavan.

Replying To veterngaa: "Well your saying I have other handles when I am clearly a Monaghan man. Whatever you want to think" I know you are. We also always knew that Tom, as your more famous handle goes by, was a Monaghan man. Anyway, you're spending a lot of time here arguing. Get outside, enjoy the evening. Call back when Monaghan wins a meaningful trophy. KingdomofBreifne (Cavan) - Posts: 152 - 16/06/2024 18:30:07 2551975 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Still in the championship …." you are away with the fairies veterngaa the only cup that cavan or monaghan can win in the championship any year is the anglo celt cup which is a far better competition than the sam maguire where as normal this year 2 teams have a realistic chance of winning. As i stated at this time last year Cavan still have the same chance as monaghan of winning Sam Maguire this year and that wont change in the near future and thats no slur on monaghan. Time to come back to reality and see the Anglo celt cup or ulster championship for what it is a brilliant competition which great competitive games and most teams in ulster have a chance of winning every so often. breffnibluewhite (Cavan) - Posts: 479 - 16/06/2024 19:37:43 2551998 Link
At least you can get your club championship started … looking forward to the senior, intermediate and junior Champs coming from div 1…. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 651 - 17/06/2024 07:31:33 2552136 Link
Any more thoughts on Longford? There were some brilliant individual performances Gerry Smith in particular kicking five marvellous points off both feet. The "give it a lash" crew will be happy enough anyway I'm sure as we certainly did that. But we had no control of the game. I thought that when we slowed it down and played measured football we actually looked very dangerous. Although having said that, the Roscommon defence is woeful. And yet they have so many top forwards. They are a strange one. But they certainly shouldn't fear Tyrone if they sort their defence out. It was great to see McVeety back and he was the only one to show a bit of niggle when he came on. The rest of the game was like a challenge match. It's a pity because it would have been interesting to see if the pressure would have gotten to Roscommon. How did Gough give a yellow instead of a black for the foul on Madden at the start of the second half. I thought our own kick outs were better - more movement. Opposition kick outs were not good. It's a long time until next January 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 377 - 18/06/2024 13:01:37 2552702 Link
