Big win for the Gaels & am genuinely surprised that they had it so easy. 2 defeats for Cuchullains & whoever loses the ballinagh-lacken game, also if cootehill beat mullahoran and crosserlough beat Gowna then 4 of the long time est senior clubs under pressure

Talking to neutrals like myself those that were at this game tell me the score really flattered the gaels but it does not mater now next week end will either Ramor or the gaels want to show their hand I suppose it's a game to look forward too in anticipation."
seanorinn...I was at the Gaels game and the score certainly didn't flatter them, they were the best team from start to finish, without hitting any of the higher gears. I would suggest that before posting any further comments on upcoming games, you should actually attend some games....using your free Club Breifne membership off course!

Just a thought...if your'e wondering what it wrong about the club scene in Cavan.....How is it that a Division Two Team can comfortably dispose of two Division One Teams in the Senior Championship?

Because for years only one team went down each year so a poor team could stay senior for years. There's some division 2 teams that were division 1 last year. Football is cyclical. A couple of injuries or retirements and a team can be in trouble from a previously strong position. Look at Mullahoran who are yet to win a game all year. A rise or fall can happen very quickly. No transfer system to replace quality unless you're Castlerahan or Cavan Gaels.

Sean o rinn has a chip on his shoulder with regard to the Gaels. It goes back 40 years. At least a few of his townies were good servants to the Gaels club .
Take all his Gaels critism with a pinch of salt!

There is a lot wrong with our club scene but the scenario above can always happen no matter how well a competition is structured. Killygarry deserve a lot of credit. Young team who are building nicely and improved from last year. Top of Division 2 heading in the right direction. No reason why any team in any sport in a similar stage of development couldn't do likewise.

I pay for my club breifne pass like everyone else that has one. It's near impossible for me to attend matches for 99% of the time there are matches on in the park so wise up.
As for not liking the gaels I have some good friends from the club past and present. If you have players that are good enough to play with the county I get on fine with them for they are wearing a different shirt. If I see players playing with your team with potential I have no problem noting them either so I have nothing against your players remember that.

If its near impossible for you to attend these games, then perhaps shouldnt be commenting on them, otherwise you'll have to eat humble pie. As I said last week, Arva wouldn't get within a whisper of the Gaels, and you argued otherwise. My opinion was based on the fact that I've seen the Gaels on numerous occasions this year, whist yours was based on nothing but opinion.

Anyway, I was right, you were wrong.

What will decide who goes through to last 8 if there is 3/4 teams on 4 points does anybody know?
Score difference?
Play-Offs?
Went to a play off last year in intermediate but there was only two teams level on 4.

How come the county board don't give clarity on these matters.
Also you wouldnt know if the relegation draw is seeded (9th vs 14th, 10vs13, 11vs12) or an open draw?

Bit of shadow boxing tonight with Gaels and Ramor?
Will both go for it and show their hand?
Heard the Gaels won't be at full strength. Don't know how true that is.
