That Ciaran Brady/Mickey Graham duo sounds interesting.
i know how good a manager and coach Mickey is,i wouldnt know too much on Ciaran Brady,perhaps some of our longford friends could share with us as to how he is rated over there?

Don't bother - He's a Gowna man! 

So Terry Hyland for Cavan Manager?  Sounds good I think.

Are you having a laugh? Can get a team fit and motivated but my dog would have better tactics. Great servant to Cavan football but not a county senior manager.

Don't know what Ciaran Brady is like, but I can comment on Mickey - will be a top class manager. If anyone has ever heard him in a pre match dressing room then you can be nothing but motivated.

ive said that about hyland on many other websites,a very good motivator,but nothing great tactically.at the same time i dont think mickey is anything great tactically.i'd imagine he'd be fit to get a few of the gaels lads to commit aswell,but not sure if he's the man either.

excuse my ignorance,but what has ciaran brady won?i cant say i ever heard much about him.

Yeah I dont know much about Ciaran Brady either - I think he won a senior championship in Longford, doesnt exactly equal senior county manager credentials. Then again its better than Keoghans CV and it is the Cavan County Board we are talking about.

I would have preferred Cullivan in there instead of Brennan but apart from that looks good! All the best to the lads on Saturday.

Lads, is it true that the county players can't play for their clubs this weekend as it's within 10 days of the Fermanagh match? Interesting to see how Kingscourt fare against the Gaels on Saturday evening too. I hear also that Paul Graham is a brother of the manager (Mickey, I mean). This true?

Not sure about county players this weekend. But yes Paul is a brother of Mickey. Great young player.

How many people are living in Dublin but still play in Cavan for their home parish?

You play for your parish.  Anything else just wouldn't feel right.

So are you saying that if someone lives in Belturbet but is in the parish of Drumlane they should play for Drumlane and not Belturbet?

Well just to add some balance, a goonie once told me that the parish that Drumgoon represents (not sure if it's called Drumgoon or something else) goes right into the town and it could be a matter of what side of the road you live on that determines where you're from. Yeah I know, sounds like bullshit to me too.

same sort of situation in belturbet,once you cross the bridge your in drumlanes parish,still basically the town of belturbet though.alot of the belturbet team are from the drumlane parish.

Hmmm and the all the abuse we get for having foreign players! 

Our seconds game was a shambles - No way we should lose in that situation. We couldnt cope with Tierney moved into full forward. Lads panicked. In fairness to Knockbride they never gave up so credit to them.

And as for the alcohol in cup scenario - I was embarrassed reading that article. I think people in the county board should be concentrating on improving Cavan football - seems to me they just want to get Cavan mentioned in the media (and for all the bad reasons at that).

Heard about Donal Kelly - May he rest in peace.

We bet Ramor tonight - 2-16 to 1-06. Ramor are poor team, gone downhill a lot. Few very narky players when they start losing. Looking forward to our championship encounter already!   

By the way, hello all! Long time reader, first time poster!

Welcome Terry. Its about time we had a Cavan Gaels poster.

Are you anything to the Taxi Driver?

A distant relation! I know you lads try your best to work out who someone is so I will need to be on my guard! 

I'll look forward to the debates, there are a few previous comments I had to bite my lip at but will definitely be interesting!

Oh you should let it all out!!
I promise not to question Seanies greatness anymore not that there is a gael on the board

Some of your previous comments have already been noted myles!

A time of great pride for the Gaels. Congratulations.

it's embarrassing really.  Who sponsored the Div. 1 league last year?  I would be fecking raging if I did

I would also be raging, at castlerahan for not playing the game that was fixed and bringing the last yaers final into further disrepute.

It's about time really. I heard somewhere that Castlerahan had close to 10 games called off last year. They are lucky they are not getting fined for this latest stunt.

Should be the team at the top of the league at end of the season takes the trophy - simple as. Saves all this bull of playing games in the depths of winter (or the following year! )
