Players follow management instructions. Nobody in for breaks was so frustrating to watch. Mattie thought it was a terrific performance.

Well the boils Mattie wasn't taking any responsibility on the BBC for a balls up. "We couldn't buy a break", "ref gave them soft frees". I think removing Hyland will prove to have been a terrible mistake. I can see us go to div 3 with this lad.

Maybe it's ok to say this now - me mcglennan is a grade A bullshitter and he should be jettisoned very quickly. In a year he has stopped our upward trajectory and we find ourselves going backwards. It might seem harsh but we cannot entrust our senior team to him for another season as I believe he will bring us closer to div 3 than div 1. I question also whoever is preparing the team physically. Can't sustain a high tempo at all and players getting way to many muscle injuries. Finally some of our so called big names should also have a deep look at themselves, they yet again failed to lead on the pitch. This was the time to deliever and they failed miserably. If I were them I wouldn't be seen out drinking a few pints in cavan this evening.

The players are well entitled to drink. Give up thier whole social life and don't go out to play bad. We need the u21 generation to stand up though. Mackey only one took game to them and he now 30. Manager is such a bluffer it's unreal. His interviews are bizarre. Players in 15 one day not in squad the next. Lads marginalised all year appear in bench today. No game plan. Players in no condition and so many hamstring injuries. He'll get another year because it will be argued he can watch club football. Needs to go though or we'll be a division three team.

I genuinely mean this, if I were apart of that shambles today you wouldn't see me in the imperial until Christmas. But that's just me. We can agree on McGlennan, a bluffer of the highest level. Can you believe he managed to come out with the absolutely fabulous statement during an interview today. People will say it's his 1st year and he deserves another one at least and I understand that to an extent but surely to be given that he should have had to show some progress. The only progress I've heard is that we may have found a forward in Caoimhin o Reilly but on the other hand today was his first time this year on the pitch for the seniors!

Cavan are an embarrassment. After years of steady progress we have been taken backwards. New manager has managed 2 competitive wins this year and he just doesn't seem up to the task and no amount of auld uber positive crap will change that.

No Niall McDermott is a strange one for me. Thought he did well last day. No free taker either.

Woolly  (in his podcast) made a good point that the B side of the qualifiers will be completely overshadowed next weekend by the A side as they're one round ahead and have the big guns of Mayo and Donegal playing. Have hardly heard a word in the media about the B side.

That's a good point?

Will one of the qualifiers be televised next weekend?

I dont understand Sligo
They turned on Kevin Walsh in the name of excellence ,including a rant for the ages by Eamon O Hara. And replaced him withCarew. Who is mediocre at best. Would O'Hara take over now for the excellence?

Do ye think Walsh is the messiah down there in Galway. I wouldn't be so sure. After all he was at the helm when Tipp blasted ye last year. I've a suspicion Ros will win at the weekend.

Thanks for that Boyce. If IPTV is going to last then I think l might go for the Zgemma. SatsNI in Cookstown offering Zgemma and 12 months sub for £180 or thereabouts   I've a Panasonic Vieta Smart TV with the latest BT home hub but it's not connecting to the Internet any more. Using an Ethernet cable but it won't connect. Any suggestions there?

Zgemma is a Satelite box. Yes if you have one already use it for iptv but why would you buy one for iptv? You cannot record on iptv unless your sub provider permits it and I don't see many that do. Buy yourself a mag256 box for around 100 euro. Simple to use, easy to set up, easy to navigate and very portable. Most importantly designed for iptv.

Thinking of buying a car from England at some stage over the summer here. I have friends in Leeds and Newcastle so I could easily stay with them while searching around. What is the craic with auctions then? Are there finance options or do you have to pay the whole heap in one go? Looking at the likes of Audi and Mercedes, they do seem much cheaper in England. If it was only the difference in £500 or so saving in England then I wouldn't be bothered with hassle.

Unless you are a mechanic or have access to one I would stay well clear of Auctions.

Not a mechanic and I wouldn't have notion about cars really. I've a mate who buys from auctions all the time but he's handy around cars and has always got class deals so far.

You get good deals because there is no come back. Quite a few cars at auctions here and elsewhere are just patched up to get the sale. Plenty of savings can still be made in Uk buying from dealers.

Fitzgerald collides with his teammate. "Absolutely no malice," says Carney.

You'd hope so

Saw both episodes. Very interesting. It's called GAA Nua I think.

Interesting yes but I can't help wonder if some of these "scientists" are so reliant on stats that they can't see what's going on in front of their eyes. Personally, if I were to put a % on how useful all this GPS data is in the overall scheme of things it would be less than 10%.

I see Mackey had a couple of pops at O'Meara on the WeareCavan podcast. Looks like his comments haven't gone down to well with the team.

Then o Mara went on twitter and said a number of current panel text him to say they agreed. I have to say the timing of this article and subsequent comments is not very helpful to the teams preparations. All involved should have known better and left this alone until the county season ends.
