Damien O Reilly was the best on that list in my opinion. He was a big, strong, had a big heart and could basically play anywhere. King was no team man, McCabe a primadona (although both had exceptional skill and ability). What Morris lacked in skill he made up for x2 in effort and heart. But it is Damien for me.

I know a publican that keeps a vintage bottle of Cavan Cola under the counter beside the potcheen for special occassions. This same publican told me he seen Eddie Reilly swiging out of a bottle of it one night - Good job Brussels put an end to it or we'd have a bunch of wild long hair mad men running around the county. Eddie is a lesson to us all.

Re: The Anglo Celt in Cavan. You forgot to mention the brutal spelling, grammar and total inaccuracies every week. The sports editor is the main culprit of this. On numerous occassions you will find a half page match report on one page, only to flick another few pages and find the same report again! It is the worst paper I have ever read to be honest. Haven't seen the new Cavan echo but hopefully it can redeem the state of journalism in Cavan

Those guys that played with Cavan in the 40's, 50's and 60's played because they lived here. Those were diffferent times where people hadn't the money or means to make trips to other counties to train. I think it is a sad state of affairs when a county with no other sport except Football has to get players from Fermanagh (a county with the lowest number of GAA members) to try and compete. The very fact that this is happening is evidence that there are deep deep problems elsewhere and this type of shite is just glossing over it.

I wonder which Cavan men will lose out to the imports down the line?

Lads, Keoghan is a tosser and the worst possible choice of manager as I have said before. Getting a guy in who refused to play for his county due to distance (he was 2 hrs away and finished work every day at 4pm) and now works next door to his county and won't play with them. When the shit hits the fan and hard times come, does keoghan think that Rory will stand up and be counted?? Of course he won't. I only want Cavan men playing for Cavan and I certainly don't want a player from a neighbouring county. Why can't this management team start concentrating on the basics like getting a panel of commited cavan men and stop this shite. Already we have a management team with more members than some underage panels. This is a pathetic start if you ask me. I only hope the parkinson rumour is only a rumour too, cos i don't want him either.
