This weekend predictions

Tyrone v Cavan -Cavan to continue to lift the hex and win by 2 points
Mayo v Galway - Mayo to win by 3
Roscommon v Dublin - Dublin by 6
Kerry v Monaghan - Kerry by 1 (Kerry not as great as the media are blowing them up to be)

Very good performance yesterday. Clarke awesome at midfield, Moynoagh hit everything he could see and possibly Niall Murrays best game for Cavan. Madden took his two goals so well. Can we dream to go to Omagh and pull another result of the bag?

Delighted with the Cavan performance yesterday although still plenty of improvement possible as we kicked a huge amount of wides. Played into the wind in the 1st half and were the better team but Ros kept in it with some great point taking. Then Maddens fantastic  goal before half time set us up well. Ros had their purple patch just after half time and got back in front but only to be undone by Maddens 2nd goal against the run of play at the time. What a ball from Murray to Madden for that one. Harney sending off killed Ros, I was right beside it and while he didnt make a strong contact with Brady he did strike out at him into his face. Stupid stuff, right in front of the linesman and Gough was watching them too following a seperate incident a few seconds before. I doubt they will succeed in overturning that. For Cavan Killiam Clarke was massive at midfield, winning his contest with Enda Smith. I though Murray and Moyagh were excellent also as was McVitty who is really potentially one of the best players in Ireland in my opinion. Great to see Gerry Smith back, a guy who I would have put above McVitty in those U21 teams - really hope he can get up to speed quickly and fulfil his potential.  Ross have a lot of good players, didnt happen for them yesterday and they seemed very dodgy under the high ball especially. Still its league football and you dont know what training is happening. Realistically we are still hot favourites for the drop and we possibly need 3 points from our games away to Tyrone and Monaghan. The last game at home to Dublin likely a write off. Still feels good to produce a very good performance in the top tier.

I understand the winning of it is the dog that gets the hare to turn. Its very rare a dog will catch a hare, they are too fast and nimble. That said I am sure the hare doesn't enjoy the event!

Anyway, I always find the animal rights crowd a curious bunch. Its only small furry animals they are interested in. What about the pain a mouse feels eating poison, or the thoughts of a fly smashed by the swatter? The Pig and the Cow in the slaughter house? There are surely bigger fish to fry (dont mention the fish) than the hare being chased in coursing.

What about the plague? what about slavery? what about the nazis? what about the person who got meningitis and his arms and legs had to be amputated?

It's not really an argument for the rights and wrongs of something that you can think of something worse.

What a load old bollix. I'm drawing attention to the absolute hypocrisy of animal rights activists, save the cuddly animals and f**k the ugly ones. You are mentioning a pile of unrelated things and msking no sense when doing it.

Who says that they are saying f**k the ugly ones.  I doubt any of them are saying that. I'd imagine if they are protesting about hare coursing they also would like other animals to be treated well.

Rabbits have feelings too you know

When's the last time you saw an animal rights campaign to stop the cruel poisoning of mice and rats?

It's a different thing. Mice in the house are a pests and can ruin your electrics etc. Hare coursing is a choice. Something people choose to do for fun.

There are non lethal ways to trap pests and surely it's about the pain the animal feels??

Well done to Leitrim some improvement under Terry Hyland.

Delighted for Terry, Where ever he has gone he has improved teams. Leitrim finished 2nd bottom last year. Emlyn mulligan must be regretting his negative comments at the championship draw now.

This is Div 4.
Connacht SFC is "Senior Hurling" and Emlyn knows his lads aren't up to that.

So why do Ros bother with super 8s?

Negative talk like that has no place in a dressing room.

Massive game for Cavan on Sunday. If we are to have any chink of light to escape relegation we have to do what we have really struggled to do in the last number of years and beat Roscommon. Good news is Gerry Smith is likely to play some part, probably the best player on any of those U21 teams but who hasnt really had a consistent run at senior. Gearoid McKiernan and Caoimhin O Reilly back training too after injury. We've put in respectable enough performances for 30 mins in each of our 1st 3 matches, now its time to really go for it. I hope it is in them to do that.

And you have the full attention of the manager for this first time

Ah I wouldn't use that as an excuse to be honest.

How is Hayes not starting ahead of that other lad. Miles better.

Anyone use ontarget? All online presence seems to have disappeared - Twitter, website etc. Service still working fine though.

I've said it on here before, if you are using a supplier that is openly online (facebook/twitter etc) then you are going to have your service cut at some point. You need to go with people who you get to by word of mouth. The rest will be hunted down eventually and you will end up being out of pocket as they will go off mid subscription.

It's a disgrace that the aristocrats of ulster gaa are denied their full quota of 5 AI victories  in these archives.

Which of the aristocrats are you referring to? It's nice you were looking

Pegged together - Monaghan & Cavan.
I'm embarrased.
If only it had a question on a description of bad weather which had the option of
"shockin', it's a tarror"

Don't be embarrassed lad, we can't choose or parents and we can't choose where we are from. There are worse places than monaghan such as North Korea and Meath

They don't miss much crokes but they look suspect on the high ball in when their full back is isolated.
