If the goverment gives out these grants, how will a player qualify?
Does he have to be a member of the GPA? be a member of the county panel come championship time?If a player was on the panel for the league and dropped for the championship will he qualify?or if a lad was training during the winter but dropped for the league,where does he stand? likewise a player who may pick up a serious injury whilst training with the county which rules him out for the year?or like Brian McGuigan picks up an injury playing for his club, what would his position be?
Will it be necessary for the county management to nominate their panel of players in, say ,January and stick with them till September?There's always the case of the player who finds form in the early part of the year and is then drafted into the panel in March/April, will he be due the same amount of grant as the lad training with the county since Jan?

Right - seriously worried that this thing could go tits up! Since last posted, won away in the league at Bournemouth and had a streaky enough win at home to Swindon. Lost in the Johnstone Paints trophy to Bury ( ) and played two shockers against Hereford before going out of the FA Cup. As Wise said, could be a blessing in disguise. Today though was seriously worrying as Leeds dominated and then got caught with a late sucker punch. That should have been a three point game. Two home fixtures coming up, and I would like to think six points might be acquired!

Is it any coincidence that things have started to turn for the worse since the departure of Poyet and the arrival of Bassett?
2 wins in the last 7 games isn't what you might call good form.Hopefully they with the next two games at home they can begin to put a run together over the Christmas which will keep them in touch with the leaders.

fully expect Ballinagh to win the Ulster Inter on Sunday,

Ballinagh are a good Senior league team and will be challenging the Gaels dominance within two years in the senior championship.

like ourselves they have constantly underacheived with the talent they have at their disposal.

It seems they have now got their act together.

Been out of the clique for a while,as havent been around our club scene since the Belturbet game,

who are the new men on the county panel etc etc

I agree that Ballinagh seem to be the team to challenge the gaels in the next few years.they have a very talented bunch of players at the moment.They had a good enough squad for the last few years with Gaynor,Gumley, Durkin,McInerney etc, but now with the introduction of the youngsters, the Reillys ,McDermotts,Smiths, etc., they have a team to hold their own in future years in the senior league & championship.
BHM , Don't think ye have underachieved , just haven't had a talented forward who could score 6/7 points or the equalivent in a game ever since big Gerry retired.


Best of luck to Ballinagh on Sunday

you've a three year old who won't behave on a plane annoying all around them, you spend a hour shouting at them, telling them to sit down, be quiet, stop yapping etc - they still won't behave, what do you do?

A trick you could use if you're heading on a flight with young children is to buy some new toys,colouring books,hand held games etc (just small stuff,that they haven't had before)beforehand,and when they start to get bored produce them one at a time, this will keep them happy for a while. Flew to Australia last year (children 3 and a half and 8 mths) and Lanzarote this year and didn't have a problem.
Also the purchase of a good portable dvd player and a few dvd's would keep them intralled for a hour or two.

Now that Cavan Gaels and Gowna are in the league final, would there be any chance that the county board could fix a double header in Breffni? Div 3 league final replay to be played before the Div 1 league final.Sure wouldn't it save the Gaels supporters a lot of hassle and money.

is the the jobie?

How do these work? is it just a case of plugging them in and connecting them to the tele and scanning in the channels, just like the digibox,or is there more to it than that?

When St Pats Cavan won the Rannafast in 2002,they had an Iraqi,a Sudanese and a German playing for them.

Ballyhaiseman,

What happened at the U14 final last night v BBoro.Heard a BBoro selector (ex Cavan Gaels) presuaded a neutral umpire (Cavan Gaels person) to change the refs (P Gilheany Swad) mind in allowing a last minute goal for BHaise which would've drew the game .Seemingly all hell broke loose afterwards.
Is this a true reflection on what happened? if so its no wonder Cavan Football is in such a sorry state.

Congrats to both Killeshandra and Ballinagh on winning their respective championships.Also to Dromard who won the Longford senior championship and who were celebrating in style in Arva.

Aye well done as they say in our part of the world it there was a shortage of pric*ks he would make 2 of them

Funny that this is quoted on a thread featuring McConville,as it was himself that said, while in Virginia, that there was that many women swarming round him, he'd need two mickies to keep them all happy 

I agree aswell, if he hadn't a book to promote we wouldn't have heard about the gambling. 

After his stint in Virginia a lot of people in the county already knew about his gambling, book or no book.

A bit of history repeating itself on the Baileborough v Ballyhaise game, as was said Ballyhaise the hot favourites were 4 to 1 up at one stage and subsequently only scored another point for the rest of the game. Coincidently in 1981? Bailieboro played Ballyhaise in the Senior Championship Semi Final , where Ballyhaise were once again hot favourites,Ballyhaise proceded to go 5 points to 1 up early on, the final score Bailieboro 8 Ballyhaise 6.

The Chicago 3 are back, so have we cooled down or is there no room in the inn?

See in the Cavan Post they not only won the divisional title with St Brendans but they've also won the NACB title.By the state of this years championship, so far, I'd say there's plenty of room in the inn!!

Stephen Smith alongside him score 0-4 out of our pitful taly of 0-5.

I think you'll find that Stephen Smith scored all 5 points 2 from play.Ballyhaise achilles heel down through the years seems to be a major lack of scoring forwards,was told that last year their highest scorer from play was James Brady a 37/38 year old who played most of his career as a back!!Youse may bring back big Gerry
Bailieborough were by far the better team but once again their lack of a scoring forward will be their downfall.They were also easily capable of keeping Ballyhaise at bay even after losing their fullback early in the second half through injury and playiny the last 10/15 minutes with 14 men (Lambe got the line 2 yellows).P Byrd was introduced early in the first half for BB and scored a great point from play from about 50 yards out on the stand side, he also got their second goal late on.All in all though it was a dreadful game with ball being given away too easily by both sides and the shooting (as the scoreline suggests) pathetic.BB will have to up their game by 200%,  on this performance, if they intend troubling Ballinagh.

Some Mondays i could barely walk never mind train.

If ye stayed outta Eamons on a Sunday you'd be well able to walk on a Monday

BTW what's the story on Cullivan?

Leeds lose appeal
