Official Cavan GAA Thread

[mylestheslasher]

Tommy Lyons is one referee that has had a grudge against us for years, because of something that happened years and years ago between himself and one of the local "characters" to say the least. We have only won one game in the last ten years with him in charge (last year against Shannon Gaels). Should tell its own story...  

Looking forward to the championship myself, Killeshandra at the weekend in BHM's back garden. Should be one of the ties of the weekend as there is history between alot of the younger lads on both sides. Both teams are packed full of u21's and that should make it a lively encounter. We lost by two points in New Inns with out our three main full forwards, Ollie Ward (ankle), Paddy McPhillips (rested) and Shane McPhillips (ribs). They are needed big time if we are to beat Killeshandra.

I just remembered a Tommy Lyons special. Throwing  the ball up between two players, missing them and hitting some guy standing behind. Anyhow, reckon my old team Killeshandra will beat ye at the weekend. They are going very well this year and seem to be peaking at the right time. It will be a tight one though.

From what im hearing Cullivan will be out for around 6 months 

Devastating news for the club and the young man himself.

have you every came across such an absolute tool of a referee as him on Saturday night? an absolute loony.

As the last two pages of this thread shows BallyhaiseMan we come across them far too often. Our secretary takes stats at our matches just for reference after games and he counted us being pulled up 9 times for over-carrying after averaging 2-3 so far this season. I know a lot of the lads were watching the Dubs in the Leinster final but come on!

From what im hearing Cullivan will be out for around 6 months 

Devastating news for the club and the young man himself.

Bad news for Ballyhaise and Ray alright. I presume that injury occurred on the way into the tackle with McDermott rather than a result of it BhaiseMan? Also is this a re-occurrence of the injury earlier this year.

Damien McInerney strained his hamstring again moments after being introduced on Saturday and also looks set to miss the championship. On the other hand Gaynor and Niall O'Reilly were out last weekend due to dead legs and should be fit to play against Bailieboro. I believe Podge is also flying home on Thursday night and he may yet play some part in the tie.

I see we have Martin Sexton refereeing on Friday night. Don't know much about him, anybody know what he's like?

[BallyhaiseMan]

Yes Homer
he shipped two tackles and got caught at a very bad angle when the third tackle in quick sucession hit.

Its a much worse injury than the one earlier in the year.

Dont think you will have any problems with Baileborough,They are facing likely relegation to Division 3.

Cullivan's initially injured his knee playing for DCU and then aggravated it again in the Ballyhaise v Denn game.Seems he never got it looked at properly.On Sat evening he hurted the knee after climbing on McDermotts (I think,maybe T Smiths) back to catch a ball,his studs got caught in the jersey and he landed awkwardly.He should've went off then,but instead stayed on only to suffer further damage in the tackle with McDermott.Heard that the father was was supposed to bring him to the hospital after the game but didn't, and then he had to go in later that night as the pain was severe.As footbalmad said unfortunately looks like he could be heading the John Tierney way, a great pity indeed.

**Groans**

Not another one for the scrapheap, surely? It seems that all half decent youngsters in Cavan either get injured, get burned out through overuse or if they come through the early portion of the careers unscathed against the odds, simply don't have the commitment.

I'm full of the joys today.

[Gnevin]

Oliver Og Reilly is the worst. most ignorant ref I have ever come across.

reffed us in a league match against Shercock a couple of yearts ago, I jogged past and asked him "what's the score", to which he growled

"Are ya blind? Can ya not see the fukin score board". I mean that's a joke. He destroyed that match, giving us everything early on (we went seven or eigth up) and then doing the opposite at the end, including giving a last minute free for a lift ball by Adrian Fitz which was about a foot off the ground! Of corse, Jody Clakre tapped over the equaliser

If he was just ignorant it wouldn't be as bad (like Pappy "Shut your fuckin mouth" Woods!), but he's a terrible, vindictive excuse for a ref.

See he reffed a couple of games in the Ulster MFC this year - times are bad, that's for sure...

Yearts= Years?
eigth= eight ?
