Can this not be put in the "how to get to Longford" thread?

What would be the point of going through 6 months waiting for the transfer to go through with Kildare ,and then go back to Cavan after bearly playing for Kildare.

McGeeney is another reason, his final year with Kildare. Jason Ryan is there this year as selector, and he will probaly replace McGeeney next year.

That's correct. But the reasons he gave for leaving no longer exist so the only thing keeping him there is the notion he'll win something. Tells me all I need to know about him.

Beat Monaghan in the semi in 2010, that was the only game. The rest have been in Breffni or at enniskillan.

That was in Enniskillen I'm almost certain, I was at it.

Sure people can still read it Itchy. Not everyone wanted to see Johnston gone, he was a good player for Cavan whatever about his attitude.

+1

I'm sure there are some that wanted to see him stay but I think it is a good thing and I hope he never comes back. One question, why is he not playing with Cavan this year?

I think Brehony is probably the biggest gobshite of a journalist in the GAA. I find it hard to force myself to read anything he writes. On this occassion I did force myself to read it and unfortunately I see that nothing has changed. Personally, I think that is just a pile of rubbish. Anyway - should you not post that on the Kildare thread?

I meant what Cavan did to a much fancied Armagh team last year.

Its nice to see ye being nice.

Does anyone fear a Monaghan ambush? I do and I'm never at ease when I hear we expect to do well.

A quick look in google for Gaa collectors gives these two sites. Give them a call and they might be able to help you out

Might tell you what it is worth too!

If a man was to stalk Seanie I'd say its a fair bet you wouldnt go to Kildare.

Itchy you're so right, am surprised Scullion wasn't lynched as Tyronies would be very protective over St Mickey!

No one talks to my Mickey like that! Scullion better watch out.

Ziggy I think he was fine, but wasn't really watching him too closely, and unless a new one does something very good or very bad, I orob wouldn't remark too much.

Mickey was close to the ref when he gave a dubious free against Tyrone and said something to the ref about it, but Scullion, obv very frustrated at the time, shouted "fcuk up will ye" no less than 4 times amd even turned back to shout it again. Ach it was nothing really, he just looked like a dick as the crowd didn't hear a word from Mickey but then heard Scullion roar back.

How dare he speak to Mickey Harte like that the bastard.

Givney said it himself on Twitter, I hope its a joke as that would be a disaster.

So did anyone make it up to the game yesterday evening? I'd be interested to hear their views on the performance. It was hard enough to see what was happening on the stream as the camera was often very close up to the action. Anyway, for what its worth I thought our performance wasn't as good as against Down. We got some soft goals and that was the difference in the end. The Armagh lads seemed to be a lot stronger than us and we struggled to break tackles when hand passing the ball out which really slowed us up. A lot of the problem is that lads are not taking passes on the run or at speed, its all flat passing to almost static players. Only mackey was really able to come out and leave Armagh players in his wake. I also thought our handling wasn't great and we made a lot of unforced errors. Niall McD seems to be struggling to make the ball stick and then to use it quickly and so again Dunne was the only man winning ball inside (although he was quieter than last time, despite his two goals). James Reilly needs to lose a "few" pounds. So just like a defeat last week doesn't mean we are crap a win this week doesn't mean we are great.

The positives are that we got three goal chances and buried them all, McKiernans points were outstanding especially the one where he took a pass with his back to goal turned and fired over without look at the posts. His point scoring reminded me of big mccabe last night. Dunne has to be full of confidence hitting 17 points in 2 games. I thought defensively we frustrated armagh who were looking to put in long balls but could not easily find a way through. Our work rate again was very good and we did look fairly fit for this time of the year. Big positive is the confidence gained, winning in Armagh is not an easy thing and winning is a habit. If Armagh beat Down by less than 4 points then I think we win the group and it would be good to get a run out against another team.

I think the Antrim game will be a step up and really think we could do badly with the strength of Dunne, Givney and Keating but we should be going all out for a good start and a win in Belfast.

Cavan win 3-09 to 1-11.

Didn't think we played that well and our goals were more bad defending than great forward play but still going to Armagh with such a young inexperienced team and winning should be a boost to our lads heading to the national league.

Enjoyable game Cavan corner forward ( the flame haired guy) was pick of the pkayers on show,
Armagh kickouts very poor as was the defending but all in all some decent performances ,
Both forkers played well, Harold was decent enough/ won't be two despondent .

Yeah Martin Dunne, seems to be in good form. Someone mentioned Stefan Forker made his first appearance since 2010 , thats obviously in the McKenna Cup as he was playing Championship last year and the year before aswell. Very good player.

How many lads were Cross missing besides the Cross players?

Did he not mean Mackey, wearing 13 but not playing there? I thought he was man of match for us with Gearoid for the 4 "McCabe-like" points

Doing Sterling work over on Hoganstand Fred, you must have a bit more free time lately.

Some sensible debate required over there, its depressing reading it some times. However - its only 3/4 wums doing the damage. However, its a better spot on here.
