The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

Maybe they should go and talk to reps from Killygarry & Butlersbridge. It doesn’t seem to be an issue down that way where those two clubs are benefitting greatly from the children of former Gaels players who went to their national schools.

Yeah I replied that after. 16 teams and seeded in theirs

Could be some decent quarter finals. Was at the Ramor Geals game. Hard to know what to take from it, Ramor didn't need to win but I'd be concerned enough over the last four games showed some real sloppy play and without Liam Brady look very weak from the kickout and again today a massive concern.

Great to see some youth coming again. Young McCrystal has grabbed the No 14 shirt from Ado I think.

Crosserlough seem like the team to beat at the minute but there's be alot of teams just doing enough these past few weeks and likely a lot of shadow boxing.

Good to see Mullahorn back competing again, Ballyhaise look like they could be a coming force very very good midfielder and a big old style full forward.

Still I think the last four will be The Lough, Gowna, Ramor and the Geals.

How exactly? Ask anyone from Laragh or Killygarry and they’ll tell you the fee he commanded.

It's no different than playing it in bad weather in late October and November like used to happen. It's right to finish before championship I think.

You would find the clubs in the Ulster club wouldn't want to play league games till there out and drag it out for everyone else. Clubs are training since January a 9 month season for the majority is loads.

It's fine the way it is Club players are getting steady games from the start of the year until they are out of the championship i don't see why anyone would want to change that.

Lads they may have bigger issues. I see Shane Lowry is after ditching Kingspan. Id say the county board will have to make a call on this urgently.

I think they'll get away with this. It is higher profile and/or UK based ones that are getting heat. So Lowry and Ulster Rugby. Kingspan based here, I'm not seeing any heat to Cavan GAA other than a few UK people and not sure what difference that makes to here. Head down and keep quiet is what they'll likely do

I wouldn't be having anything to do with them tbh.

Kingspan

They are not a company that i think we should be associated with in Cavan GAA. The below should be enough.

Kingspan “knowingly” created a “false market” in insulation for use on buildings over 18m in height and the report said it “cynically exploited” the industry’s limited understanding of insulation and cladding fire safety tests. “Dishonest strategies”, “deeply entrenched and persistent dishonesty”, a “complete disregard for fire safety”

First off, there's no doubt Kingspan have acted shady here - think everyone is clear on that. The bit I scratch my head at though is that they seem to be getting all of the heat here. The report says only 5% of material was Kingspan, and they did not know about that or authorise that product for that particular usage.

They're getting a lot of heat for Grenfell, when the report talks about Kingspan generally in the industry but not about this one tragedy. The actual ones who did so are getting far less exposure here, with blame seemingly put solely to Kingspan for being the biggest in the market. Yes, it seems they used some advantages as market leader, but what are the regulators at here? A company is getting the blame for acting like a company and not a regulator who seem to have got away with doing nothing with regulation here. It's just weird overall

But even with this, they are a Cavan based company, and lots here in the county work for them or supply/support as third party companies etc. We are in very little position to be cutting a sponsor like this after 30 years, considering the close relationship of both in multiple ways. I don't see why a company could be beyond redemption, especially in their home county and all the good that has gone on before this

Cavan GAA haven't gotten any heat as far as I see. Head down and power through might seem a little unsavoury, but I think they should considering location and history there and how they can redeem
