The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

For what it's worth, a fair few Fermanagh Gaels in front of me thought the second one was good. But i agree, hard to single anyone out for any sort of positive contribution. Just one of those days- but seeing as it was a local derby, that's very disappointing.

surly the last two weeks ye have been in prep for championship , i have talked you up all year i dont do that often , i reckon division 2 is wide open next year and you lot have momentum going forward i wouldnt be reading into the last two games . very impressed with the two wins against westmeath and down and the manor of them wins too

Very Impressive against two teams who aren't good enought to get out off Division 3.

Didn't score a point from play until into the second half today and two lucky goals keep us in it. If we are hard training it's not doing much benefit if these injuries are the result off it.

We need everyone fit if we are to challenge for Ulster as the last two performances wouldn't even get you far in the tailtean.

Jesus Christ yer ruthless no wonder Michael McDermott worked wonders down here no shite taken , ye looked fairly fit enough against down In Brefni a few weeks ago I would take the last two games with a huge pinch of salt surly

I’m pointing out that we consistently underperform. We should be beating Fermanagh every time we play them, not one in three. Until we can stop losing to teams like Antrim & Fermanagh, why should supporters believe we can compete consistently with higher ranked teams?

Re last year, one big difference between now and then is that Thomas Galligan scored one goal that day and setup another - he isn’t on the panel now. Fermanagh have also improved with returning players.

Just because Westmeath, who aren’t a great team, won the Tailteann Cup doesn’t devalue it in my eyes. Like I said, I greatly enjoyed the Tailteann Cup run of games last year. Fact is though I always argued we shouldn’t have been losing to that Westmeath team and I’d continue to argue it.

So we’re just to bypass a chance to win silverware in Croke Park next week and put all our eggs in the basket of beating Armagh? Not much point going back to the eve of the League discussion but whether relegated or not, they beat a Donegal team we couldn’t last year and have just operated in Division 1 for 3 years.

And I don’t think supporters would care about losing the games if it wasn’t for the manner of the defeats. Today we didn’t even lay a glove on Fermanagh at times and an overweight forward in his 30s had our backline **** themselves, while our keeper got beat at his near post from an angle he never should have conceded from.

Of course all our eggs should be in the basket of beating Armagh! Next Sunday means nothing. It's a glorified challenge match. Nice to win, nice to put right the wrongs of yesterday but there should be nothing risked that could cost us against Armagh.

Galway are going all out to win the League and . Cavan might be in hard training but could as easily get injured in training as playing games. Playing games keeps up the fitness anyway. Previously there was up 2 a month break before the championship,but with the shorter season now not as much time for hard training

The All Ireland series and Tailtean Cup is like a League in itself 4 round robin games.

Just saying the want to win next Sunday like the rest of the League finalists.. Sean Kelly spoke about winning a National title would be a boost going into championsip

Cavan lost the Tailtean Cup final lost year so would hardly want another loss at the weekend in Croke Park.

Division three final confirmed for Saturday.

7.15pm throw in. Who came up with that? Who in Cavan or Fermanagh does that suit? Certainly not anyone who has kids. Great work by the fixtures committee. The last few years having them on in the day made far more sense.

It was Roscommon.. Martin Dunne missed a penalty in that game.

Cavan didn't play Meath in any recent League final.

It was a double header that year, Meath played Monaghan and we played Roscommon.

Setting a trend we would follow for the next 10 years or more, the Rossies beat us. It was a late finish alright.
