Official Cavan GAA Thread

[mylestheslasher]

Lads, Any news after the Mayo match back home,we got a bad local press this week down here  .ie showed no interest in the game a useless exercise for John O'Mahony's team !! I though we competed well in the 1st half in what was terrible conditions for both team.
Read Seanie Johnston  article  re his injury update..not looking good for the Fermanagh game.
No sign of Givney or Mulvey last weekend. Are they in trouble too.
Givney looked to have taken a  crunching knock to his back against Dublin and  Mc Kiernan looked in serious pain going off at half-time against Mayo.
We need them all fit fairly quickly.

I wouldn't mind the mayo press, win 1 game and they will be tipping them for Sam. 6 2 down at half time is a lot when u have the wind though. Are u sure you were at the same match

[Western Blue]

I was there allright.take your point half time score line..but if we had kicked over 7 points instead of the wides and at least 4/5 more in to the goalies hand we might have been in the lead!!

Our lads were not used to playing football at High Altitude  and playing with and against a North Atlantic wind. !! Did I not list the team later that evening. I WAS THERE .

I know you were there, was only joking cos your report and the Mayo papers report were "slightly" different.

Meant to take you up on that before WB! Although I have to say, the Mayo journalist probably wasn't all that bothered about the Cavan performance and the lazy option was just to say we were crap cos we didn't score. In fairness, we sounded pretty crap though 

Still don't understand where Philip Brady came from? Can anyone enlighten me?

I wouldn't be too fussed about what Seanie says either. I think when push comes to shove he will be there, and I hope he is, but he is just making supporters sweat so he can become the focal point of the media in the build up to the game because let's be honest the media don't have all that much to talk about with regards to this affair!

Givney has a slight hamstring problem but am told he will be fine. I don't think McKiernan would be starting either - although he is a good option from the bench due to his size.

[Denn Forever]

How about having Johnson as an impact sub? 

Settle on a starting forward line and use Johnson if needed.

[whats my name]

the reason givney wasnt playing against mayo was he was knocked out the night before in the division 3 game against laragh

[Lawrence of Knockbride]

PIU I'd say McKiernan has as good a chance as anyone of starting at full-forward. No idea on Philip Brady either, maybe he's been playing well for Mullahoran who've made a good start. I see that all the fixtures this weekend are from week 14 of the league rather than week 7 to facilitate the "double-header" Gaels v Castlerathan game. Dare we hope for a draw just so we can see what the county board decide?
My guess is that Carr will want to start Johnston against Fermanagh but he might get some resistance which will be interesting. With that in mind and as we're a little closer to the day here's my guess at the starting 15.
1. Fintan
2. McPhilips
3. Corr.
4. Cahill
5. McCutheon
6. McGuigan
7. Sheridan
8. Walsh
9. Givney
10. McKeever
11. Nesty
12 Flanagan
13. Mackey
14 McKiernan
15. Cullivan

Personally I'd put McKeever wing-back in place of Sheridan, Cullivan wing-forward and go with Johnston in the corner and I'd also have Galligan in for Walsh but I think he'll go with this line-up with th option of Cullivan coming deeper if needed.

Why wud tommy Carr get met with resistance to start Seanie Johnston, surely everyone involved would want him playing if he was anyway fit???That makes no sense, he had a bad injury and continued training from what other members of panel have said dont understand why there would be resistance

he sounds like he doesnt think hes fit,he said tommy reckons it's 50/50,but he doesnt think that.he was saying that he talked to stevie o neill,who had a similar injury,only not a serious as his,and hes not long back training,despite it happening a few weeks before johnsons.he sounds doubtful,but knows tommy will be pushing to have him playing.

[sams the aim]

god im sure if given the chance any player would jump at the chance to play

[Dougal]

if you thought by playing you could cause more damage and end up missing the next couple of games would you chance it?only a couple of weeks ago he was walking round with his arm bent the whole time,didnt look like a lad that would be fit for the fermanagh game.
