How you know that ?

BallyhaiseMan · January 14, 2009, 10:06:39 PM

know of at least 5 playing members of my own club who read,
including One who was on the county panel last year.

also know from talking to lads, another 2/3 lads on the county panel have read this thread,
Mainly to see what we think of them to be honest

BH Man is right I know of a fair few members of the current county panel who are regular visitors to this site.

Well long may the quality control remain in place on this site. I looked at Hogan Stand for a week about three years ago and quickly tired of the nonsense.

I'm not saying this place is the nub of philosophical discourse or anything but at least most people here have cop on and manners, or have them quickly taught to them if they don't.

looks like being a wild evening for the match in Breffni tonight

an interesting game in its own way all the same, one that might even be winable

Great win last night, any time you beat Armagh it's a good win. Decent enough performance in patches, some great passing movement in some bits only for the final pass to go astray or fall short or mis judged, kinda typical for January though.
Paddy Gumley was impressive, always on the move and looking for the ball, as usual Martin Reilly went through massive amounts of work all over the field. But we desperately need a full back, when Clarke went in there when Armagh were on top for 10 minutes in the second half he scored two points with ease and missed two more. Podge Reilly is just too slow for that position (maybe it's the fact that he isn't as fit as he should be but he was never too quick in my opinion).
Good to see Tierney back in a cavan jersey again, had a solid game and chipped in with a point. Pierson is showing signs of his potential with a couple of sweetly taken points and a lovely finish for the goal.
A few things would worry me, McCormack misjudged the ball on a couple of occasions - even allowing for the terrible conditions - I'm not too sure if he is an out and out corner back and Dane O'Dowd while he does several things very well always seems to give the ball away a couple of times during the game.
Pity about Ronan Reilly getting taken off after 25 mins or so, I believe he was injured - I was looking forward to seeing how he fared... Although Anton had a good game when he came on. His good pressure overturned the ball which led directly to Pierson's goal.
Overall taking in the 3 games, from a disaster of a game against Queens to an improvement against Antrim and another improving performance against Armagh last night so maybe we are slowly heading in the right direction.

Fintan Reilly, Brides, Podge Reilly, Enda McCormack; Gunner, Dane O'Dowd, Johnny Crowe; Galligan and Walshe; Martin Reilly, Ronan Reilly, Eddie Reilly; Pierson, Tierney, Gumley.
Subs: Anton Reilly for R Reilly; Cahill for Gunner, McKeever for O'Dowd, Gibney for Tierney and Mackey for Gumley.

Good to see Pierson getting back to himself and hopefully he will stick at it this year. A full forward line of Johnson, McCabe and Pierson has potential to do alot of damage if they can get the right ball.

There is a good pick in the Forwards now but with match panels reduced to 24 there will be some dissapointed players. In a panel of 24 how many forwards would normally be in it?

Half Forward/Full Forwards
Flanagan,Lyng,Cullivan,Martin Reilly,Eddie Reilly,Mackey,Anton Reilly,Gumley,Tierney,Givney,Larry,Jason.

Anyone else im missing? James Clarke wont make it and i havent seen enough of Ronan Reilly.

Who has being full back for the U-21's in he last few years?

cavanmaniac · January 19, 2009, 04:08:36 PM

Pierson will be more inclined to knuckle down now that there's someone over the team that actually seems to know something about football, but he'll always be a bit of an enigma and might very well switch off again. Hopefully not though, he showed in flashes under Coleman that he's capable of taking on the best on his day. A rejuvenated Pierson might stand as a very pointed indictment of the Keogan folly by the county board.

Anyway, it was decent enough to get a win over whatever sort of side Armagh had out, hopefully we can take another few steps forward when we get the college lads back for the interesting league opener across the border in Longford.
