We know, ye beat us the last time ye got through. I am going to stick my neck out and call a Cavan win. While Antrim really shocked me today I think that Donegal just took it for granted they would win and showed no fight and hunger. They had no respect for the Antrim challenge and they paid the price. Cavan will show respect to Antrim. My reasoning is based in the fact that Cavan met the "workaholics" Fermanagh, matched their work and the fact we had better forwards got us over the line. Today Donegal did not work, lost by a point but still kicked 17 wides. I think as long as Cavan Put in the work they'll out score Antrim. Of course in 70 minutes of football anything can happen and Antrim did beat Cavan in a challenge a few weeks ago in Lacken.

Agree with most of your post Myles,
But the Antrim forwards are streets ahead of the Fermanagh forward line.
I see our Full back line,if its left unchanged having problems with the Saffrons speed and movement.
We are one of the few  Ulster counties which before today would never underestimate Antrim,because we have played them so much in recent years,and have always known what great footballers they had,and also of their abilities to self destruct.
Bradley seems to have given them some bottle,Ive seen Antrim play Cavan off the field,but still manage to either come out of it with a loss or a draw.
This team doesnt look like it will do that,which is what worries me most.

This is a crap thread. I'm waiting until hardstation starts his.

Last time Antrim senior footballers played in Clones, by the way. April 1996. Antrim 3-6, Fermanagh 0-6.

Team: B Devlin, M Mulholland, L McCurdy, A Donnelly, D McPeake, T McCrudden (0-1), G Adams, C O'Neill, E Quinn (0-1), J Wilson, A Craig, C McCabe (1-3), A Hannon, J McAleese (1-0), J McManus (1-0). Subs: C Murphy for J Wilson (25 mins).

Nial McKeever might have to delay his trip to Australia. His dad, big Eddie, was going to accompany him, but he cant get a visa for his moustache. Its true!

What competiton was this in SS?

[A Quinn Martin Production]

Any word on Sean McGreevy's injury??  Anyone predict any changes to the team...maybe Kevin O'Boyle in for Dermot McCann??  I think this would be a good game for Kevin Niblock, good at winning dirty ball, can hold possession and is up for the physical stuff but who would make way??

Would Omagh not have been a better venue?

Division 3 relegation play-off.

Changed times for the Erne men.

Anywhere would have been better.

Fcuk ye. Manys a time Cavan have had to travel the length of the province to play in Casement, its about time ye had to do it yourselves . Can't believe it is 96 since ye played in Clones.

[CC1]

I've got a feeling this game will be a classic. Two equally matched teams, both fighting for an unpredicted place in an Ulster final. The result will depend on how either team will play on the day but I think if both teams are playing to the best of their abilities, Cavan will just shade it.

We have a few more players to come in yet with Gunner, Lyng and Pierson all in line for a come back. I would give Gunner the nod to replace Sean Brady at half forward, his work rate and ability will be key.

Really looking forward to it!
