Cavan vs. Armagh, Sun. May 19, Breffni Park, Ulster c'ship prelim

[Itchy]

Rain will be gone about 4am, not much wind bit hopefully sun will come out and dry it up. I predict ideal conditions and 2 wins for Cavan

Pauric Reilly was playing last night against Lacken, he mustn't be on the 26 man panel for tomorrow.

Armagh by 4
I feel it in my bones

Shame to hear that he's no on the panel as he has good experience but I have to say he probably wouldn't be on my first 15 due to his lack of pace on a fast summer pitch

Actually think Armagh will make the ulster final this yr coming through the easier side of the draw though monaghan could cause them problems, On paper after winning 4 -21 ulster titles Cavan should be emerging as a team to beat in ulster, we should be see progress of this now, it hasnt happened. Would a high profile manager take Cavan forward to where they should be in the next few years, they should be placed for a shout at an ulster title on the weak side of the draw but playing division 3 football badly counts against them.

Donaghy out, F Mo in. Strange seeing a social media released statement to confirm night before a match. Changed times in the format of the message & in not lying like f**k to cover things up.

[Itchy]

Are these type of announcements normal in Armagh. Wouldn't they be better off saying nothing or is this some sort of double bluff?

Cavan have 3 Ulster titles recently not 4. The first of those was won just a little over 2 years ago. Are you really saying that a group of 23 year olds who were about the 3rd best team in Ireland when they won that Ulster title should be emerging to dominate Ulster at Senior Level 2 years later?
And what do you think a "high profile" manager will do that Hyland will not?

His pace was always holding him back alright i'D agree

Wee Marty was commenting on the radio on Friday on Cavan's need to find a settled team. He made the point that last years captain (Podge) is not in the 26 this year while this years captain wasn't in the 26 last year. He also made the point that I find hard to disagree with that the under 21 success that we have had may be due to a whole pile of really hard working lads who will all make great club players, whether there are enough to turn into really top class inter county players is another matter. Still if the likes of Barry and Martin Reilly are fit and not starting you would be confident we are fairly well fixed for replacements up the pitch at any rate.

He is probably right, there was nothing outstanding about this year u21 team. Hard working team with a never say die attidude. Didn't think they were any better than the previous U21 teams. The 2010 team, while they only won TWO games, have produced a good number of players to the Senior team, David Givney,James McEnroe,
Rory Dunne, (Eugene Keating would have been part of that squad but missed out through injury).. Oisin Moyaagh would have been starting then too and Barry Reilly, Niall McDermott. Gearoid McKiernan too. Martin Dunne had been on that panel too, but left after the Hastings Cup due to lack of game time. Other squad players too like Decland McKiernan , Josh Hayes were part of the  team/panel  that got to the Ulster Final
Michael Murphy was the difference in that final.

[Itchy]

I think this years team had some serious class players. Mcvitty, Gerard Smith, McLoughlin, Killian Clarke, Moynagh and Jack Brady will all be top class senior players. Few others like O Connor, Madden and Argue possibly too could also come through. That was our best team of the last 4 I think. Martin likes to talk crap about Cavan, he should remember a team of workhorses won his county an all Ireland last year.

[rodney trotter]

Better gauge of those players on next years u21 team. Smith Mcvitty are very good players, but still light.

Paul O Connor might make it or might not, some players are good u21's and that its.  Finbar Jordan was a brilliant under age player and and never got a look  at Senior level.  So too Enda Gaffney

Jack should be a very good player with the seniors and hopefully McGlaughlin too, Clarke

[Armaghgeddon]

Anyone know what odds are being offered for Jamie Clarke to get 3 goals?

[supersub]

Not sure but Armagh to score more than 2 goals is 7/1

Clarke first goal 9/2
