Safe to say Conor won't be getting a recall and rightly so, lads only out for themselves have no business in a team sport.

The best thing that could happen in Dublin is for Willie and his fools to be left sitting protesting at the dail, no tricolour on display (Dail is not sitting), no Eirigi eejits or Republican Sinn Fein or other scumbags to start trouble and maybe two guards hanging around. What Willie wants is a riot so he can say - "look what happened in Dublin when we asked them to remove their flag, they went mad just like in the North". The TV pictures should show nothing at all then his protest will have the complete opposite effect he was hoping for.

But can we hope the plastic paddies from Eirigi and the like will have the brains to see this - probably not!

Terry hyland after match reaction. Fairly grounded. Sorry for the interviewer, he is a tool.

Think lyng is still working in Mayo and can't give the commitment.

Yeah, he is a teacher in Ballina or Knockmore or somewhere in North Mayo. Can't comment on whether it is a commitment thing or an injury thing. Great shame as he's a top player when he is going well.

Written by someone who thinks they are a writer but clearly is not. What crap that is.

According to todays Indo, the tricolour will no be flying on Leinster house next Saturday when Willie and his friends come down to visit. So it seems he really will be asking sarcastically for the flag to be lowered as it will already have been the day before. What an idiot, there is not even one tiny bit of sense behind what he is doing (except that is to cause a riot).

Have to beat Offaly first to be sure to top group. Longford have to beat Wicklow to top their group then we'd play them.

I was just stating the obvious not having a go at anyone.

Well it read like you were saying he only took easy frees - if thats not what you meant then apologies. I expect he doesn't have the distance for the ones further out.

Ffs, he scored 9 points and cut out a lot of the silly shots he used to be at and ye are making sly digs. Give the lad a break.

Bet 1-10 to 0-11.

A decent display, did well around the pitch at different times but as Westside says we had no scoring threat apart from Dunne, who scored 0-09. I thought our Half back line was good, decent in the middle but again no scoring threat at all from half forward. FB line was pretty solid too apart from the goal. Declan McKiernan had a real bad game and I wonder can he hold his nerve at this level. Still Down are a team that contest an AI final not so long ago and Cavan extremely young team. Lots to work on but a decent enough start.

Down 1-10 Cavan 0-10 FT

down 1-9 cavan 0-10.

Cavan should have been out of sight early in 2nd half

we are 1 point up, dominating but have missed 1-2 at least in the 2nd half.

Cavan 0-8 Down 1-5 at HT. Down were 5 ahead early on.

Jaysus lads this is poor stuff from us. Early days I know but...

Found our feet and dominated the last 15 mins of the 2nd half. McKiernan dominant in the middle, mackey doing well and Dunne getting some great scores. Would like to see some more spread of the scores though, no real threat from any other player.
