Cork fucked up there when in possession. But lads the hooter has to go. Meath just keep the ball for 2/3 minutes then kick the ball out and foul continuously so that there's no time left. If the referee was keeping time he could allow more time on for cynical play. Seriously the championship will be a shitshow if this is allowed to continue.

Was this foul not a delay meaning it should have been a 50m bring forward, making a 2 pointer free attempt which can be kicked after the hooter? Refs need to realise this

Unfortunately I'm not sure yet. Think this exact year is not the strongest Tyrone one. last 2 U20 winners, and minor last year but they're gone and the minors young, but this exact grouping of Tyrone at age 18-19 were beaten by Cavan at minor level in 2024 in the B All Ireland. Still great we got the win, just have to temper it slightly. Tyrone a one man team last night

Absolutely right. You'd just be delighted to see us picking up a win of any stripe against Tyrone, in these hungry times for Cavan county football teams. There are a few lads on the team that have a decent shot at coming through to senior too. Will be interesting to see how they fare against the other sides now.

It'll be big for the group regardless, and was good to hear interviews after when they immediately shifted focus to Armagh next week. As long as we don't fall in love with ourselves for beating a Tyrone team once, and instead use it build up to doing more

I HAVE LIVED TO SEE A CAVAN TEAM WIN AGAINST TYRONE! HAPPY BE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN YET STILL BELIEVE!

Cavan 1-14 Tyrone 0-15 FT

A win that puts Cavan in the national conversation for U-20 honours.

Cork and Kerry can't meet until the final. Mayo will likely face Roscommon in the Connacht semi

Semi-finals

London/Mayo v New York/Roscommon

Sligo/Leitrim v Galway

In that scenario then it would be highly unlikely that Tyrone won't be playing for Sam. The only way would be if an Ulster team reached the final below them. Down ?

Even with that, it would be the Division 3 winners who would lose out, and that could be Down so as it looks like, 6th in Division 2 will be enough to stay up. Kildare being relegated and being in Sam on their TC win last year puts the Division 3 final losers out.

A worldie 2-pointer from about 60m in the final minute from Ryan Donohoe put Cavan one in front and then we won the crucial resulting kickout and added an insurance score. Surprised me with the gumption we showed to be honest, particularly after leaking a goal.

I was at the game and it was clearly wide ,whatever the ref and umpires were seeing. But got the win. The 2 cavan goals were fortunate,  dropped shots which the offaly keeper should have done better.

Wouldn't say clearly wide. It was tight, was very high and travelling fast and looks to have been OK from where it hit the net behind. Linesman gave it and he was on line, my view just a bit further up was that it was tight and if given wide I'd have accepted it. But not clearly wide, a tough call

I was in stand. To me it looked wide.

Same, was in the stand. Just saying I don't think it was clearly wide by how high it was. If waved wide I'd have accepted it, think linesman best view. Just hard to say one way or the other

Could be the first ever meeting of London v Tyrone in the Tailteann later this season.

That would make iit an interesting year for the GAA statistician community in Tyrone.

Pretty sure Cavan haven't beaten Tyrone in the league since 1997. Was at that game in O'Neill Park, Cavan got a late winner and went on to win the Ulster Championship. If Cavan somehow manage a win this time around then Tyrone v London could not be subsequently ruled out.

Is that like the Meath/Cavan Breffni Park stat?? Meath hadn't beaten Cavan in Breffni since 1965.. in reality they only played in Breffni four times since '65 and one of them was a draw.

Haven't beat them much in any competition in recent years have they?

Won a McKenna Cup game vs them in 2017 I think? But yeah no League or Championship since 1997 (few draws though).

First off great win at the death. Some balls from Flynn to go for that score , up until last year the lack of confidence would have made no one want to take it. That been said for me the score of the game was Kinsella looking up seeing keeper out and lobbing him for the goal. Some nordie on sg saying it was fortuitous (bs) he went for it, if that had been Clifford or con they'd be praising it for weeks.
Anyway we nearly left it behind us , some shocking wides . Cavan in fairness  gave it everything, and the ref in fairness tried his best for them too. But it wasn't to be. I've a funny feeling they will stay up. On the other games Derry winning wasn't a real shock think Tyrone are in a bit of disarray between the old established players and blending in the new lads, a hard act to juggle in such a competitive division.
Our bogey team is next up, the dreaded Louth on Valentine's Day. Terrible record against them over last couple of years, that been said a small bit of revenge will I believe happen.
Looking further ahead while not getting carried away I think promotion is definitely on, Kildare are going very well and the players seem to be playing for their management which they weren't previously (bit like ourselves) and we could have a double Leinster promotion, cork as always are a enigma , but I just think we can beat them. But everything said it's division 2 anything can and could happen.
Hon the royal

Ref tried his best? Ah now, he was fairly level and let the game go.

Ahh he gave Cavan some very easy frees same thing happened to a Meath player he waved play on unless it's was blatant.

Ah come on now he didn't, watched it back and he was very even in interpretation to both sides

.
I'll give you one example. Late on in game Cavan player (name escapes me ) put his fist up for an advance mark ref blew whistle so he saw it. Player just passed ball without taking the mark Cavan got a point. By any reading of the rules that was wrong and should have been a throw ball at least

That's the best example you got? Ah here, he can do that. Either way a gimme point, that's hardly an example

Not best , but one.
May I add that every interview after the match highlighted that Cavan got handy fress . But sure they all wrong too.
I'll leave you at it

Leave me at what? You came with this, showed a bad example, and now you've no more examples? Not really proving your point is it?

You've missed the addition of the advantage clause to the advanced mark rule. You can now call the mark and play on. If you miss, it comes back for the mark.

Must have missed that. As imo once you call it you take it. But what is the advantage for ? A foul ? As none was committed

The rule change was to allow the catcher calling the mark not to stop like we used to see, let him take it on but get the mark should it come to nothing. Meant to promote more goals etc rather than stopping for a tap over point

How would it work if Kildare (as Tailteann Cup champions) were to be relegated from D2? Would the team in 6th miss out on the AI?

If Kildare do, It would be the Division 3 final runners up as they're the 16th ranked team in League at that point. 6th are 14th ranked

Ok so they get promoted but miss out. No issue with it either way.

Essentially yes. No Div 3 final loser has ever got in as of yet, but may well this year. Indeed we've had years when the winner missed out too.

Cavan going down to Div 3. Place for them.  Never met supporters to have such a high opinion of their county and where they should be...

What sort of nonsense is this? What do you mean exactly and show where?
