So what is the official line regarding the Gaels? Are they in or out or whats the story? I agree with PIU, surely they have enough to field a team even if this would mean taking a bit of a beating.

Mickey Mouse or not would still be nice to win something...anything!!

I think the lads will come out fighting against Wicklow and grind out the victory. Have to show some pride in the jersey.

Who's reign would you admire PIU?? Seen as ur using somewhat hushed tones over Keoghans

Agree with Put it Up think Sheridan should be given a go at midfield. He has himself in serious shape think its worth the gamble. Still think Martin Reilly is just too small for inter county football. Constantly gets outmuscled in games.

No Terry Coyle I'm not a Mullahorn supporter I just rate Brady as a very good footballer. If he wasnt a stand out perfromer last Saturday (apart from his shooting) then who was?.We as a county arent blessed with an anbundance of top quality players so the few we do have should be accomodated. Yes he has stated that handball comes first so everybody knows the situation. At least he wants to play for his county.

[PIU,i think his point was a good player will stand out in any position,but a goalkeeper wouldnt be expected to to stand out,in,lets say midfield]

i really didnt rate hannon a few months ago,but i think he is a great corner back.never thought much of him at club level,but that was because he carried the ball far too much,which he doesnt do at county level.

Brady is a great player,and we could do with him,but not if he wont fully commit,and if i was in his boots,i would chose the handball.it's not good for the team,when a lad plays 70mins in the league,starts for the 1st match in the champ,and is gone for the second match.

Fair enough I agree with that!! Again I have seen him and played against him with his club - Drumgoon rely on him to carry the ball. At IC level, he is relatively comfortable on the ball  and if he had a wee bit more agression would make a good corner-back IMO.

On Brady, I agree with you 100%. it sends out a wrong message to others on the panel.

Thats exactly what I was sayin. Dont want to go offending the goalies out there, know they have a hard job. Just wouldnt expect them to be out kicking points although some of them can do it.

I agree with the the point that it sends out the wrong message to the team and is proabably unfair to other members of the panel but i just have the opinion that Paul is a superb footballer of which Cavan dont have many. Due to this think whenever he is available he should be a definite starter.

So if Mickey Lyng, Eamon Reilly, James Reilly and feck it even Larry the great said they can't commit during they year but will play championship, would you have them too?

No i wouldnt for a few reasons.

I dont think Eamonn and Mickey are as important to Cavan as Paul is. Mickey is not the player he was a few years ago unfortunately he has gone way way back.
That is effectively what James Reilly did every year before this.
And finally Larry Larry in his prime could have done what he wanted he still would have been in my team

Hello to all fellow posters. I am a long time follower but first time poster to this forum. In the past i have enjoyed reading the views and opinions of everyone here, so thought I'd put some of my own in.
I personally think Paul Brady is a massive loss to the team. He has a massive workrate and covers acres of ground in every game he plays. The amount of times he got forward to join the attack on Saturday was staggering even if his end product was a bit wayward. We just don't have another wing back to match him. With regards to Put It Up's post, yes i completely agree that Sheridan needs to be played further out the field because he really isn't comfortable in the corner but I think playing Hannon is a step in the wrong direction. He is just not up to the standard anymore. He dosent stand out for his club team.

Physically Hannon is in the best shape as I have seen him in a while - he is prob just a game or two off the pace. Plus he is still only about 26 and in fairness to the chap, his club play's him as a forward.

Also If you are going to use that notion to pick lads for the county - the current crop might be in trouble. Think about how many of the current panel consistently excel for their club.

Gunner is a terrific athlete, we all know that, but if he going to be just coming in to play one game a year i think i would put a stop to that. Would people be so accomadating if he was prioritising soccer over football?

What club are you Lars?

He may be in the shape of his life but I just dont think he is up to it in terms of quality. Yes i agree that for some strange reason his club persist in playing him as a forward but i personally think that if a player is supposedly up to the standard to be in the county setup he should shine for a club playing at the level that his does..no matter were on the field he is, apart from the goalie I suppose

Its unfortunate that Paul has this situation but a place should be made for him regardless. He is a top class footballer and athlete which we just dont have enough of to leave him out when we have him.
