At least its at home.
The end. Close thread.
I hope it pisses rain like last year just so them wicklow hoors will know what it feels like to drive home soaking wet after being humiliated ;)
i'll not forget the soaking i got at that match,till the day i die. >:( >:(
if i see a small improvement on the pitch and the sideline i think i'll be happy.will be a tight enough game id say,and wiclow will prob win by 2 or 3.

Same as... now I know who the other 2 Cavan fans at the match were!!
Trust all us gobshites to be down there that day. I think it's time a few on here got girlfriends ;D
Yes. f**king worst soaking I ever got. The sideline is likely to improve Dougal as Mulvey will probably be on the pitch.
Oh dear, not a serious post on the game yet.
Can't really post serious posts as the gods are not smiling on Cavan (though the sun is shining) with Givney out.
I don't think people have the energy to think about the game as unfortunately I can't see any area where we have the better option. We have some good forwards but with our ace midfielder out, how will be get the ball to them.
As other people have said, Sheridan out the field where we can see if he can do as he did for DCU.
I don't think it'll be wet so the Wicklow lads will have a lovely day out. But hopefully we can be spoilers.
Well at least you'll have a few more stragglers to share the disbelief as Cavan get knocked out again. But sure, isn't the sun gorgeous! ;D
Glynn confident ahead of Cavan clash
24 June 2010
Leighton Glynn wants Wicklow to go on a similar roll in the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers to last year starting with a win over Cavan this Saturday.
The Garden men reached the last phase of the qualifiers last year after defeating Fermanagh, Cavan and Down before eventually losing out to Kildare for a place in the quarter-finals and he feels his team can get off to a good start at Kingspan Breffni Park against Tommy Carr's charges.
"It's all about performing on the day," he said. "We will be without Paudge McWalter and goalie Mervy Travers; they will be missed greatly but we have got to move on. Paudge was missed the last day; he was making great runs from the half-back line.
"But I feel we can cope with these losses. John Flynn came in the last day in goal and he settled in very well," said Glynn.
Glynn pointed out that the Garden men could not have asked for a better draw, having beaten Cavan convincingly in the back-door last year.
"It is a good draw to be playing Cavan," said the dual star. "We beat them last year by seven points and we can push on from there.
"We are definitely going all out to win. The lads are flying in training. The players who have come in for those injured want to prove themselves and show they are inter-county players. That's always a good thing.
"The plan is to get on a roll like last year," he added. "If you win your first game in the qualifiers, you can get on a bit of a run. Confidence gets up and the crowd gets behind you.
"That's the aim, that's the plan again this year."
Cocky little *************
You would think Wicklow were Kerry,by the sounds of them,what have they won 10 championship games in the last 50 years? :D
Ah but Leighton Glynn would like to believe that we are ;D Ever since he got picked for Ireland, talking to him has not been the same....told me before the Westmeath game he was hoping for a Leinster this year because the draw was so handy.
I always thought Glynn a highly over rated player, especially when he played in the half backs. A few years ago when Micko brought Wicklow to Breffni in the league Glynn was all the talk but Ray Cullivan took him to the cleaners. He wasn't interested in marking, only running up the field. Saying that I expect Wicklow will win and it is a measure how far Cavan have fallen when people think an away game in Breffni is a handy draw.
Will be a tough one for Cavan with Givney out.. I was very impressed with him again Cavan. Is McKeever out too, and Walshe and Brady?
Two shocking sides with no hope, can't believe there is even a thread on this game ;D

McKeever is a major doubt from what I am hearing although we is supposed to be healing quicker than expected. Walshe I have no idea about but I doubt he would make the 1st team as a starter if he was fit. Brady is playing handball in the US, he knows what side his bread is buttered. We are definetely short a lot and have a weak bench so Wicklow would have to be favouites.
Jaysus help me but I'm really looking forward to this game tomorrow. If I was on the Cavan Panel, that Leighton Glynn article would be on the dressing room door...
Really hope we can bounce back, we will struggle at mid field without Givney but their mid field won't be as strong as last year with Thomas Walshe going home...
Surely Mackey can't play as poorly again and will get a return to the form he has shown of late. As usual if Nesty gets enough time and space to pick his passes to Jelly and Mackey inside without allowing Wicklow to swarm all over them - then we will be there or thereabouts...

Don't be so sure of that.Will be touch and go to start.
I think we can win this one though. Home advantage is huge in the Qualifiers.

I dont think there is one county in the country that fears coming to Breffni Park anymore. We're seen as a soft touch and the atmosphere and the performance the last day backed that up. We lost to our neighbours in our own patch and didnt look all that bothered by it. I have completely given up on TC and as much as I hope we win I just dont think enough genuine hunger will be instilled amongst our lads to get a run in the qualifiers.
PS: I still think Wicklow are one of the most over-rated teams in the country so it is there for us
Fintan
Sheridan
Corr
Hannon
Brides
McCutcheon
Clarke
Galligan
Mulvey
Flanagan
Nesty
McGuigan
Mackey
Brennan
Martin Reilly
Thats the team. Expect Martin Reilly to drop very deep. Brides may do a man marking job on someone,maybe Glynn.

WTF?
I have little feeling for this match up so I will just do a copy and paste job from my last post.
Dear oh dear, that team is atrocious.
I could see alot of club teams in divison 1 beating that line up, or at least giving them a run for their money. And in all honesty the club set up as we all know, is not at too high a level either.
McGuigan has a good game the last day at CB and suddenly he is in the forward line. Makes so much sense really... ::)
That team is an absolute embarrassment. Martin Reily still getting games, he has been put on his arse countless times. Mackay must have a certain starting place.
And as for that "midfield" and "defence" if that is what you want to call it, not worth even discussing how poor that is.
I thought Wicklow would win, now a cricket score could be on the cards if they bring their A game.

Whys that put it up?
1-4 - 0-3
In Wicklows favour.
Cavan getting destroyed in midfield as per usual.
Nesty the dub playing well. No players in the Cavan team have won a county championship. Joke.
Cavan 0-5 Wicklow 2-6 HT. Cavan down to 14 men and in trouble.
They're down to 13 now.
Au revoir to Tommy Carr after this match
Yep.
Full back and midfielder sent off. A loss in numbers, but not in quality as they have none.
3 in it for Wicklow. Cavan are better off with 13
Wicklow, really are an average side if they can't win this by more than 3 points. Especially against 13.
If they lose, then they must be an awful side going nowhere.
Johnson scores again
2-7 - 0-12
Can't believe that....
10 to go
level!!
Jesus what's happening here, Tommy might still have a job this time tomorrow!
Wicklow are throwing this game away.....
Dane O Dowd on for Galligan.
worried about his travel allowance
Nesty with a 45
CAVAN WINNING
??? :o
Jasus.
All over. Cavan win.

unreal!!!
Cavan won by a point.
Unbelievable really. Wicklow must be a joke outfit.
I wonder how the cute Kerry hoor is feeling now!!
Good win, but two poor sides in all fairness. Mulvey must get questions asked, we were down to 14 then he stupidly gets sent off.
At least it will stop a few people I know, calling for Micko as manager... :D

I'd say he's feeling that "there's plenty of good young players in Mayo and yerra I suppose while I'm still fit and well and passionate about the game" and sure you know the rest yourself.
Well done to the neighbours, fair play for some comeback.

And well done to you too!!
Painful to listen to on N Sound. Hes a great player that Gerry Smith.
Did Mulvey deserve to go. Stupid Stupid especially as we'd got a lne ball. Johnson played a blinder when he came on. Maybe we should play him as a supersub?
;D
jaysus I could only imagine trying to listen to that on Northern Sound.... Was Corr's second yellow very harsh? Johnston kicked 6 points according to aertel, jaysus thats some going... that last point from play I think he had one foot in the terrace when he kicked it
I think (but hope I'm wrong) it could have been a straight red. According to the commentators two Wicklow men were hanging out of him and he lashed out to "get some room". Hope I'm wrong.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
what a comeback!!!!
Fantastic performance by the (13+subs) to battle back and win.

Corr got two yellows - 1 for conceding the penalty and one for swinging back with his hand when being pressurised. Mulvey got a straight red, he should get 13 months ban. 1 month for the punch and 12 for being completely brainless. The introduction of Johnson added some bellief into the team and they displayed huge fight to totally shell shock Wicklow.

Joke or no joke any team that can win with 13 against 15 deserves serious credit.
It's a Cavan v Longford All Ireland final lads!
It's what the public want!
Well done Cavan. Some old time fighting spirit shown it would seem. LOL at the Micko 'quote'. It's funny cos it's probably true!

Ah yeah but I think Micko had already arranged for the champagne in his apartment at that stage, but dear Jaysus that second half performance would have made Mr T cry. Fair play to Cavan and all but 13 man? Ah here.
Sorry Boojangles.
It was the makey up one earlier in the thread where Micko was casting his eyes towards mayo
