    Why is there no Monaghan Gaa thread on here? There's enough of them hanging around Boards. They could tell us for sure what's going on.

    They don't have the tinternet yet up there is the simple answer :D.

    A Monaghan forum?

    Christ, how grim would that be? I have visions of the butcher boy meets the lawnmower man.

    Are you trying to draw them out. Losing to them the last time in clones was bad enough but if we lose to them in Breffni it would be unbearable.

    Oddly enough I'd rather listen to the Monaghan supporters if they win than some of our own if we lose..

    I love that call. Heard it numerous times on the terrace in a match there where you had a full forward line of Martin Dunne and Jack Brady!

    And it's normally followed by harsh criticism of the two inside men,if the ball is given in,when they are outnumbered by 4 or 5 to 2 and they inevitably fail to win it.

    Our supporters are very bad for getting on the team's back alright. The Roscommon game last year was dreadful, even a few minutes in before the drubbing we got materialised they were at it.

    I don't know what they expected when 8 starters or something crazy was missing.

    Size doesn't matter if its kicked in low to space.
    Cavan's forwards are usually nippy.

    Oh come on, anyone who paid into that game was entitled to complain. It was wet & miserable & that was the worst inter county "display" that fans probably have ever had to endure. 2pts to 1 at half time? I'm still getting therapy to recover from that game

    Not after 5-10 minutes in my book they weren't. It was far too early to be giving out at that stage.

    As well as that, as I already pointed out, we were missing over half our starting team including influential players like Rory Dunne, Mackey and Killian Clarke.

    Martin Dunne would need to move to even appear nippy. Quick ball into space is just not something Cavan do under Hyland sadly.

    On the terrace I didn't hear anything of that- the exasperation wasn't about not "letting it in long" but more a resolute resistance to anyone- from either side- taking a risk when in a scoring position

    It was all about "recycling".

    Heard over the week-end that Mayo lost to Cavan by 8 points in a challenge game played behind closed doors. Last year they played each other in Ballina.

    Covered stand now sold out. Looks like there's going to be a big crowd at this. Hopefully it's Cavan supporters and we aren't outnumbered by our compatriots from Monaghan.

    The way the tickets are being sold is annoying though. It was much easier for the League games when you could buy them in Supervalu.

    Are Supervalu not selling tickets for this match?
    They can be got in Brffni Park anyway.

    Nope, apparently Supervalu only did the League matches. Breffni Park isn't much good if you're in Bailieboro or Kingscourt!

    Fair enough, but surely those clubs have some for sale.

    any fear of this being a sell out?
    Would be some boast for the Ulster Championship to have the first two games sell outs if it was. 32,000 capacity is a big jump up from 18,000 so would imagine there would still be plenty of tickets to be got on the day

    Unlikely as they played Meath the last weekend. They were training on Sunday morning, so maybe it was then.....but beating Mayo by 8......cant imagine that to be honest

    Galligan not in goals for juniors tonight that may mean he is starting Sunday.

    It was a very experimental junior team to be honest. Generally the junior team includes some of the senior panel but none were there tonight.

    Don't think there would have been any of them eligible apart from Galligan. Any more that may have been?

    Was Aaron Farrelly not in goals? He was in the side they put up on Twitter.
