People are saying sack the manager etc, surely he will resign/go at the end of the year anyway but that isn't the point.
There is something seriously wrong in Cavan football. Without question we got the easiest draw we possibley could have for the 2nd year in a row. Carr is in the job 2 years now, what have we got to show for it? Being knocked of the Ulster Championship at home to Fermanagh and losing to Antrim in a semi final. Things have got to the stage were we are a long way behind Antrim. Antrim for god sake!
I don't care what anyone says, that line up today is filled with alot of absolutely average players who are not county standard. The fact is we have about 6-7 good players and after that the standard is very poor.
Nesty
Givney
Jelly
Sheridan
Gunner
Brennan
McGuigan
7 players there that I would say are definitely as good as most other counties around our level. After that in opinion the level is absolutely dire.
When is the last time Mackey performed in a Cavan jersey? Not upto it, too light and not good enough corner forward.
Flanagan,McKeever two guys who contributed nothing. Don't care what Flanagan has done for his Dublin college, what has he done for Cavan?
Where are they guys who defended Galligan?
I'm sorry but we are a stage when lads like those mentioned above are FIXTURES in the county team. Regular starters every year, and yet fail to deliver come Championship time.
Others like Cahill, Reilly the GK, Clare, Mossy Corr, Martin Reilly. Defend them all you want they were not upto standard today and most of them aren't up to standard at all.
The fact is, the manager may not be the best but the players are just not there and have not been for several years.
Good post Full moon.
BHM - I presume you are being sarcastic?
Full Moon is full of shite. Last time Mackey played well for Cavan - how about being our top scorer in the league this year or being man of the match against Fermanagh in championship last year. So basically everyone on the team is shite, can you suggest alternative players then? I am also amazed at the 6/7 "good" players you named. Jaysus, your that wired its a waste of timing typing anymore...
Mackey was brilliant today though wasn't he? Against one of the worst teams in Ireland, he couldn't get a kick of the ball.
Maybe he should be wing half forward, I don't know, but he shouldn't be in the corner.
I'm sorry but it is you who is deluded. You continue your tirade against the manager Tommy Carr. You probably said the same about Keoghan and previous managers.
Time to wake up, the players aren't there and haven't been for several years. You go on about these "young players". If you mean the likes of Mackey etc, they have been on the county seniors for several years and still we are embarrassed by Fermanagh at home.
You could have Mick O'Dwyer managing this group of players, and he wouldn't do alot better. Sure we might be Fermanagh but not the likes of Armagh,Down,Tyrone,Derry or Monaghan.
