    Fine for the fans to be saying it and it takes the pressure off the occasion and out of the atmosphere - no-one within the camp has that mentality and they are quietly confident that they can take Kerry. They know the task at hand and the fact that they are not being given a chance is more motivation.


    I hope that is true but you are not spokesman for the entire Cavan panel.

    Bit OTT celt?? I've never set myself up as a spokesman for anyone and not sure how you could read that into what I wrote.

    I don't want to argue but were you talking to panel members to be able to say this ?

    I have no interest in any argument either so you're safe enough ;). I've also no interest in coming on here quoting people involved in the camp - enough people on Hogan stand doing that.


    But yes to answer your question I was speaking to people involved in the county team and they tell me the mood is good and their is a quiet confidence that they can take Kerry.

    Jesus they would have no business turning up if they thought otherwise in fairness.

    Hi folks.

    Wanna pick myself up a Cavan GAA polo shirt (preferably an O'Neills one) for Sunday. Won't get home to Cavan in time so does anyone know shops in Dublin that have them in stock? Called up the O'Neills shop in Walkinstown but it looks like they won't have them in stock in time.....

    cheers folks!

    Fook me, I don't know what Celt you've been reading or what you've been smoking. It's a long time since anyone from Cavan thought or said "this is our year".

    As for the lads in Poli shirts and track suit tips hanging around the Imperial, that was a problem in the 00s I'll admit but these lads are more focused. You're more likely to see them in the gym or swimming pool than the Imperial.

    In fact, every Sunday morning after a game they meet at the Crystal pool. I was also in Bailieboro gym at my son's swimming the Monday after the Derry game and at least 2 of the panel were there working away.

    He referred to a player in particular which I think is what the mod had an issue with. Boards is responsible for what gets posted here so they don't like it when people are singled out as it leaves them open. So I think that's fair.

    I would say that back a few years ago our players may not have been the most dedicated and thought they were the sh1t when they never got anything but this has changed they are a lot more dedicated now which is showing in their improvement.

    And so what if we do loose and they're out in the Imperial that night fcuk it they deserve to celebrate. They have given the country the best run of football in at least 16 years they deserve to relax and enjoy themselves when it's over (which hopefully wont be till Sept 22nd)

    But anyway I find it interesting that when ya go to the Kerry version of this thread they don't seem to be writing us off, OK well none of them doubt they'll be able to beat us but they seem to thing it'll be a closer call than most other neutral people do!

    He stated an opinion that was, to put it mildly, complete and utter horse sh!t!

    I live in Cavan, as do the majority of posters here, do you see us stating "This is our Year" and expecting the team to win the All-Ireland? Fook me, if anything I've shown my pessimism by expecting us to lose every game this year bar the London match.

    As for his comments re the lads in Polo shirts and tracksuit tops hanging around The Imperial. That has ended with this bunch of lads.

    I heard the lads were out after the Monaghan loss but they are an amateur bunch of lads giving up alot of time and they were hugely frustrated. They believed they could win Ulster and future results have shown they well could have.

    I'd far prefer that Terry has the sense to see that and allow them a night out, with the next game being a full fortnight away, than act like McGeeney up in Kildare who is throwing teenagers off the panel for attending music festivals.

    We've a young team and they can't just give their lives up.

    to put it mildly u are obsessed with mcgeeney and Kildare :P

    On a serious note I fully agree a night out is no harm it is like an incentive for the young lads for all their hard work..

    Well done Cavan by the way ill be shouting for ye against Kerry...

    Penneys? Marks and Spencer? Dunnes? :D

    For a Cavan one I'd try Elvery's (I think its Elvery's) at Croke Park.

    Tried Elverys at Liffey Valley, but they only had a very small corner dedicated to Dublin GAA gear. Elverys at Croker is probably the only realistic option, unless anyone knows of somewhere else either at one of the main shopping centres, or the city centre?

    Might give Pennys, M&S and Dunnes a miss! ;)

    There is a limited selection / sizes online. Plus as you say delivery probably won't be too swift. They had a new (predominantly white) polo shirt on the website on Sat, but it has since been removed.....

    I really like the one based on what was worn in 1947...the blue and white stripe. Was tempted to get it seeing as their international shipping is free...but left it to late I think!

    I'd add that Cody never stopped his players going out for a few after a match. Even when Kilkenny were absolutely dominant, the players could be seen, with drink clearly taken, around the town after a match. There's a difference between a player doing it once in a while and doing it every week.

    shock horror lads, one of the national level podcasts have just done a bit of a special on cavan football. Fast forward to 44 minutes for an interview with Ronan Carolan and Fintan Cahill. They talk about the genesis of the 97 team and a little bit about the current crop

    Anyone else planning on going by themselves on Sunday? I'm seriously thinking about going but as my Cavan relatives are all too old now, I would be going alone. If anyone else in a similar situation fancies a pint or two before the game let me know.

    Donaghy in at 14 for sunday. Its an enforced change due to injury but there has to be some thought in Kerry that they can exploit the perceived weakness in the Cavan full back line / goalie. Any word on the injury to Gilsenan? His foot was in crutches two weeks ago, can't imagine it being okay already.

    I might be judging O'Meara too harshly. The ball across for the goal was a notoriously hard ball to deal with, you really need to make sure your starting position is perfect. The way the ball was played he needed to be closer to the opponent so he could get to the flight of the ball, had he been in that position though it would have left the near post wide open enough that a shank could have slipped in easily.
    He also didn't look convincing under two balls played in early in the second half, whether he couldn't have done much with them is beside the point as they add fuel to the fire and I am sure kerry will be putting in some direct ball early on Sunday. Lets hope he can pop up against Donaghy and get the ball away to safety

    As you say yourself, Gilsenan was on crutches two weeks ago so I don't think there's a hope of him being fit. It's a pity because he commands the area better than O'Meara. Gilsenan isn't afraid to come out and punch balls but I can't see O'Meara having that physical presence. In saying that, he played against Monaghan and Meath in the league and did well.

    I wonder how Killian Clarke would do on Donaghey. Tommy O'Connor gave him a roasting a year ago and he's only 20 this year but he has improved hugely and is definitely fulfilling his potential as the player Terry thought he'd be.

    Lets see next weekend.... mackey doing robot around imperial a few weeks ago after getting beat........ im not here to row just state facts

    After the Monaghan game they were allowed a few beers and rightly so. Unlike previous years the panel have been committed and stayed off the beer. No drinking was permitted after any other game. They are young fellas who believe it or not are entitled to some sort of social life.

    Oh and after the Monaghan game, they were still expected in for a recovery session the next day, unlike when under Keogan, who wanted them all in the Imperial after matches, win lose or draw.

    If your stating facts state all the facts and dont be nit picking.

    No... really... a grown man after having a few drinks? Quick hold the front page!

    And here was me thinking Cavan was in Ireland, not in a dry country.

    The rotter, I hope they flog him :rolleyes:.
