Templeport    v Bultersbridge abandoned in second half due to adverse weather conditions

I'm not sure what the story is with Soden, think he is just a bit lazy to be honest.

Your probably right there,although I heard he was giving a dressing down by a Ramor manager,in front of the rest of the players, a year or two ago for playing soccer and has since thrown his lot in with the local soccer club.( it was in a 7-a-side tournament in B'duff that he had played in, and Ronan Flanagan was on his team.)

Ronan Fitzsimons @ FB,S Brady @ CF,  N Madden,S. Cole, Ciaran Fitz were the half forward line (I think) also McCabe from MConnaught was also on the panel

 

was more thinking of the team mates he'd trained with all year, the manager (whatever you think of him) and coaching staff that had worked with him, built plans around, not to mention the string of people in his club who had no doubt voluntarily given of their free time and effort to mould his huge natural talent into the player he has become today. He's on a scholarship to DCU/gets GPA grants (not sure which) as well due to his involvement with Cavan, you might have forgotten that, and I'm sure his profile opens other doors for him also.

1. If you were to build plans around a player,surely you'd start him in your biggest game of the year?

2. It's the persons dedication to the game what makes them the player they are.People can try to nuture talented footballers but if the lads haven't the dedication it will come to nought.I'd argue that it was Johnston's dedication to the game which got him involved with Cavan in the first place,and it was this dedication that has risen his profile and opened doors, as you say, for him.

We are the people who drive up and down the country watching Cavan and supporting Cavan.

As has being said Cavan supporters are a very fickle bunch.Some of the lads travel more in a week to training and matches than most Cavan people do in a year.

The only person Seanie Johnston owes is himself.

im abit suprised Darren Rabbite isnt in the reckoning as hes very fit looking.

Heard Rabbite has quit the county scene for the year,due mainly to his studies.It's a pity, but as far as I could see he was listed on the panel from January but never appeared in any game be it McKenna cup,league or even a challenge.

Johnston came on for the Gaels yesterday (scored 0-1) with his ankle bandaged,hopefully just a precautionary measure.BTW good win for Homers guys.
What's with Lyng not playing with the gaels but playing with the county?

BHM heard a dispute over the taking of a last minute free which would've drawn the game fecked ye up yesterday.The lad who was taking and scoring the frees wasn't let take this one,it was duly put wide and Lavey proceeded up the field to score the insurance point.

BHM what's the story on McCormack was he taken off injured or was he sent off? Seeing as HM hasn't commented I'd presume its the former .

Who is Paul Fitzpatrick though? The singer?

Paul is from Treehoo in Redhills,wrote as the Bottom Line in the Echo(Bottom Brick here) and now is with Cavan Voice.Looks like he's busier now than when he was with the Echo as his posts here dried up since his move
At least he writes it as he sees it and fair play to him.

Hes underacheived with Ballinagh,as they shouldnt have been in Intermediate football this year.

Senior League(beat both Gowna and Gaels on the way) ,Intermediate title(beaten finalists in 2006),an Ulster title and an u21,a junior title and probably more, and this is underachieving ,

He may not be county manager material but surely you can't say he's underachieved with Ballinagh.
But then again ye're own managers overachieving keeping ye in Div 1

Have heard that, although not injured during the game Rory Dunne's ankle swoll up afterwards, but he's not too sure of what damage, if any, may have being done.

In all fairness to Mulvey he doesn't pick the team,and I'm sure he does his best.As anyone who has seen him play down through the years knows, he may have stood out in Div 3 & junior championship football,but when the 'Bridge moved up a grade to Div 2 and intermediate he just couldn't hack it.

As for Dunne & Watters these are good young lads who could do with bulking up a bit, and a few more years club football before being thrown on the county.Dunne had a bad ankle injury which kept him out of football for the best part of a year when he 16/17.How many good young lads have had career threatening injuries , by being thrown on to the county panel too soon,Cullivan being the lastest.I may be wrong but I believe that players should have at least two full years of senior club football to get them used to the senior game.It's a very big jump from county minor to county senior.
McCormack likewise, heard he has really only played one year senior club,had a shoulder injury for the early part of the year and was in the States for the summer.

It's time we looked to the future and not the present,why not take the likes of the 3 lads above,put them on a weights programme, or whatever, to build them up over a year or so ,and let them do their playing and training with their clubs.Would this not be better than spending money on medical bills?
I may be wrong but it's just an opinion.

As for the current league,we have Westmeath and Roscommon as the last two games and at that stage it looks like the 3 of us will be fighting for 6th position (depending of course on the outcome of the Cork situation),we'd need at least a couple of points going into these games,but where are they going to come from .
