Cavan / Re: Official Cavan GAA Thread

Low them or hate them but there is one club in the county 10 times better than any of the rest on their day. If right was right Meehan e Reilly Maloney Derham would be the half back line on the county team. S Reilly would be at midfield. Johnstone , Murray and smith in the forwards. That's 7 players that should be on the county team.

Well why doesn't Val explain to the players he left off how that at 26/27 they could be too old. And what would be the point in bringing these players back in around march time with any strength and conditioning work done. Is it not normal to have a big panel now and trim it in spring. Or are Cavan different? Do we increase our panel as we go along. Oh we are not scoring let's bring Johnston back mid way through the league. Would he come back? Would he be missed if he didn't?

I know Donal was minor manager back in 2005 and will be credited with some of the praises sung by people with redard to this years minor win. We have the Gaels too the kinpins of minor football. congrats to all involved and we thank you Donal for starting this minor revival back in 2005

Cavan / where are they now?
October 30, 2011, 09:23:43 PM
Can we have a GAA section concerning where are they now for GAA men.
Take the the famous Red Collier, Mick Lyones , the Iron man from Rhode our own Ollie Leddy, Ciaran O Keeffe, Jim Reilly. Sure you could go on and on former team mangers could have a section like Gabriel Kelly.
I think it would make for great discussion.
What do you think?

Does anybody think that maybe a change in players eating and drinking habits has affected how we perform in big matches. Out has gone the big fryups on the morning of a match to be replaced by pasta and fish and chicken and rice. Maybe the lads are half starved as they take the pitch ,and as my auld neighbour go rest him use to say ya can't perform on an empty belly. The drink types have changed too. Lads use to have 5 or 6 pints of smithwicks the night before a game to make them sleep but nowadays it's Bacardi breezers and aftershocks . Donal being in the licensing trade in our town once said the top shelf is what wrecked Cavan football. And I think he wasn't far wrong.

It's time now to forget about the clipboard men and the diet sheets. Get back to playing old fashioned Cavan football. Donal if asked would only be too willing to help as he has blue blood in his veins. Even the Merc men who frequent the park lane will tell you that Donal should still be at the helm. We sent Carr on the Dublin express. Nows Vals time to get that bus too. I feel and so do alot of good footballing men around the town that Donals presence in Navan last night was the first step to Cavans revival. Out with the clipboard men I say.

I was wondering with all the unrest in Cavan over Internet posting would now be the time to invite Donal back. Donal would have no problem with lads posting on the Internet . They biggest problem
Val has is getting commitment from our wonderful Gaels club situated in the county capital. Donal I feel could step in for a short while until things were more stable.
