Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "I suppose Div. 1 of the National League is where we are, after giving ye a trimming on our way to the Div 2 title. 10 out of 11 years in Div 1, playing with the big boys. All Ireland quarter finalists 8 times and semi finalists 2 times in the past 12 years is slightly ahead of your achievements in the same period. Having said that ye did dig yourselves out of Div. 4 which was admirable. You did of course win All Irelands back in the days that few alive remember. With the stars ye have, I will put your lowly position down to the awful managers that have commandeered your teams."
Semi final this, quarter final that. YOU'VE WON NOTHING IN A DECADE!!

Still waiting for you to explain to me how 5 times is somehow more than 5 times.

Congratulations. You take the league more seriously than any other team in the country.

Sure just ignore our Championship meetings where we are 3 from 3 this decade.

The nosy neighbours are back.

The 'victimhood' at our young lads getting their own back after their Donegal collapse didn't last long.

Muskrat was very sensitive then.

If I were from Cavan I wouldnt be talking about collapses against Donegal, and on home turf too. Whether you like it or not Div. 1 is playing regularly with the big boys. Getting to championship quarters and semis is also. Regulars in Div. 2, 3, 4 and playing Tall Tin Cup is not.

Fair play to Ray Galligan. Gave a near 14 years playing as a forward and a goalkeeper, and 2 as manager. Some dedication to Cavan GAA. Some great victories. You can see his passion. Can leave with head held high. An bród air

HeHe - we don't feel the need to invade other forums to talk up our 'achievements'.

Talk about inferiority complex.

Notice you don't mention Finals or actually winning.

Obsession can play havoc with your blood pressure.

What really makes me laugh is:

We've won 2 Ulster titles in the past 30 years, and that's considered a barren spell in Cavan GAA terms.

Monaghan have also won 2 in the same time
And they call it a golden era!!!

He has been a great servant and represents the county very well in general. You could see he'd walk through a wall for Cavan and who can forget what winning that ulster sfc clearly meant to him, but he's not leaving with his head held high imo. We were publicly shamed and embarrassed in championship both years on his tenure. That's just not acceptable. We're way too content with mediocrity and moral victories and ah sure we only list by a point or two. That's the sort of ould guff that keeps us permanently at a psychological disadvantage against the Tyrones of this world at all age groups.

That is a bizarre reply. Are you a Cavan man pretending to be from Monaghan, like TomS/Vetern pretending to be from Cavan, with the intention of embarrassing them? You quip that Cavan have only won two Ulster titles in 50 years. You're not Tyrone or Donegal with multiple titles yourself! Before 2013, Monaghan's last Ulster was 1988. That's 37 years ago!!!!!!! Are you for real? You've therefore won 2 titles in the last 35 years.

You haven't mentioned reaching the All-Ireland U20 Junior Z Final this year.

And that is why we are and will be for a long time in a different league from ye. You still have the ideas of grandeur. The fact is ye dont belong with the big boys and havent for a long time, while we can continuesly mix it with them. One only has to look at your forum to see how you treat your players. A far cry from how Monaghan people think of our lads. Is it any wonder that manager after manager packs it in. Why would anyone, player or manager take the abuse you dole out. There is a reason ye are at the bottom of the barrell and and thats why you will stay there for the forseeable future. Ah too proud to play in a B championship, and not good enough to be anywhere else.

We are so irrelevant that you & Muskrat spend all your time on our Forum.

Muskrat also tweets at Cavan co board about Arva & Knockbride playing junior championship.

Obsession????
