Conor Moynagh and Raymond Galligan were last night named in The Irish News Ulster All Star team for 2016.

Well done lads

Thanks lads

I'm guessing you normally wear large?

How does the sizing compare?

Done this yesterday and have it on Kodi through a 42" TV and I'm very happy with the quality. Thanks

do you just purchase a 6 month news pack on this link? http://sportsmania.eu/payments/signup

Where's the Klavan lean?

A little off topic here, and I'm opening myself up to the 'tight Cavan man' jokes but €20 into a qualifier game seems a bit steep to me, seeing as it was only €15 into the Ulster semi final.

I called it handbagging and slabbering. Wind your neck in mate.

True tho it was Kernan. The Cavan lad picked the wrong player to celebrate in front of. Cavan well worth their win and I'd like to see you go on and win Ulster. The one thing I didn't like was the antics of the keeper before and after the penalty. I know it's coming into the game a lot but I wish it wouldn't. Personally I blame Tyrone 

True he laughed in the face of the wrong man but he had no clue who had run straight through the back of him. His answer was to score a brilliant point and show the Armagh boys that they could try to rough him up as much as they wanted but he was just going to get on with what he's good at.

And I've no problem him doing that it was a great score and just after he had been knocked to the ground off the ball.
I've a problem with your keeper and no 5 antics before the penalty tho. I don't think it was possible picked up on tho. You can bet if it was Tyrone it would have been picked up on

Fair enough but until referees start clamping down on it and doing it consistently it will keep happening. I've never seen a black card given in an inter county match for lads mouthing (I have in club games) but it is something that needs to be done.

Very quiet on here with only a couple of days until the match.

Jason McLoughlin is out and Dara McVeety and Niall McDermott are doubts but from what I've heard both should be ok if selected.

Suppose there are 2 lads that will come into contention here, Niall Murray and Fergal Flanagan with Killian the Gunner moving to the corner. James McEnroe would be another option but I don't think his match fitness would be up to what is required for championship as he hasn't really played any football this year.

At a guess I reckon the team will line out something like this:
1. Raymond Galligan
2. Padraig Faulkner
3. Killian Clarke
4. Killian Brady
5. Ciaran Brady
6. Conor Moynagh
7. Fergal Flanagan/Niall Murray
8. Tomas Corr
9. Liam Buchanan
10. Dara McVeety
11. Gearoid McKiernan
12. Martin Reilly
13. Michael Argue (although personally I'd go for Jack or Mackey)
14. David Givney
15. Sean Johnston

Hopefully whatever team is selected can put in a good performance on the day and we come out with a good result.

Terry Hyland & Cavan team management have announced the starting fifteen to line out against Armagh this Saturday in Allianz Football League Round 4. Throw in is 7pm in Kingspan Breffni Park.

Liam Buchanan makes his league debut and lines out at midfield. David Givney moves to the full forward line. The only other change from the team who played in Navan last week sees Killian Brady coming in for Feargal Flanagan at wing half back.
Team in Full:
1. Raymond Galligan (Lacken)
2. Padraig Faulkner (Kingscourt)
3. Killian Clarke (Shercock)
4. Jason McLoughlin (Shannon Gaels)
5. Ciarán Brady (Arvagh)
6. Conor Moynagh (Drumgoon)
7. Killian Brady (Mullahoran)
8. Tomas Corr (Denn)
9. Liam Buchanan (Ballymachugh)
10. Dara McVeety (Crosserlough)
11. Gearoid McKiernan (Swanlinbar)
12. Martin Reilly (Killygarry)
13. David Givney (Mountnugent)
14. Michael Argue (Bailieborough)
15. Sean Johnston (Cavan Gaels)

Only €10 if you buy your ticket the day before

I agree with a lot of what you say Ollie. We had a significant breeze to our backs in the first half yet we didn't push up on Derry until around 22 minutes which was too late. Up to that point we only had 2 players in the Derry half.

We need to learn how to transition our defence into attack better and also we need to start kicking point from long distances. It seems we need to inside 30 meters before we have a shot for a point. Take Roscommon yesterday for example, some of the points they kicked against Kerry were excellent and from around 45 meters. If you can kick scores from that range it saves a some of the energy required to work the ball into a scoring position in the more congested areas in front of goal.

I've no idea why the players were going for a goal in the last minutes. Pop the ball over the bar, level the match and see what happens from the next play, if there is one. A draw would have been a good result as Derry were the better team on the night. We have played the 2 teams that came down from Division 1 and not been blown away. At the moment they look like they will be the 2 to go back up. As Ollie says we are now in a relegation battle but I think we should be good enough to pick up enough points to remain in Division 2.
