Cavan vs London

[rodney trotter]

Would agree that people shouldn't look down on London. They deserved to beat Sligo in Ruislip - but Sligo were all over the Shop, and some players didn't like playing for Walsh. Beat Leitrim after a replay, almost threw away a 15pt lead in the replay. Leitrim dropped 4 key players before the London games, and it probably cost them, as well as losing Emlyn Mulligan.

The reality is they lost 6 out of 7 games this year in Division 4 and Cavan should be winning by 6pts minimum.

Rodney. Cavan just beat a Div 1 team so you have to be careful reading too much into what league teams are in. Saying that Cavan on recent form look 10pts better than London.

Just hope ref keeps a tight rein
on the OTT tackles from London
-unlike the Cork sham last Sunday
at the home of Connacht football

Yeah, Cavans biggest worry is getting out of the tie without an injury or being dragged into a Straight Red Card situation. If London are getting hammered they may resort to the bully boy tactics like they did the last day v Mayo. Referee turned a serious blind eye to what was going on. Allot of the final scores for London came from Mayo players deciding to just keep at arms length from their recklessness. You will notice there was no shaking hands among the players on the final whistle.

Up until last Sunday, I would have been shouting for the Exiles who ever they played. But after their poor gamesmanship on Sunday I hope Cavan give them a right hammering.

I thought the same about the last day. I thought Mayo let London in easy a few times rather than getting a lad seriously injured. London were trying to match Mayo's intensity, but they confused intensity with Junior football lamp a lad to the ground carry on.

True, but Derry weren't playing Division 1 in 2013. A blatant penalty wasn't given to Eoin Bradley when they were getting on top, but over- all Cavan were the better side and dominated in extra time.

Maybe if Mayo had to kick points instead of scoring all those goals on them the London boys would not have been so upset. Ive been in London,s position and its not a nice feeling. The shooting practice would have been good for them as well

[Rossfan]

Sod them. Didn't they know full well they'd get a good batin'
If they were any good sure their home Counties would have them on board.

Thankfully the Meath lads won't be lining the road in Kells to peg stones at the returning Cavan hoards on Sunday evening.

I expect Cavan to walk this one and then give it loads in the AIQ to whoever. Knowing their luck it will be another battle with Monaghan.

Is the game on TV

So when a Mayoman gives you a belt it's intensity, when it's London it's dirt? Mayo team are no angels and London got sweet FA off the ref while there was any chance of a contest (not long I'll grant you).

As for you Rossfan, if your boys were any good they wouldn't have got the hammering they did either. Stick to the Pool.

Arrah stawp that.

I've watched London in person three times this year and they're hardly a dirty team, if anything I've found them too naive when it comes to using their physicality. Maybe they lost their heads a wee bit at the end of the Connacht final but how many teams suffering a hammering did likewise? Even in this year's Connacht championship Mayo experienced it in the Galway game too. Only Roscommon had the class to take their beating like men.

Oh, and Mayo can be a bunch of tough buggers too. Besides Donegal few teams are closer to borderline nasty play than Mayo. And that's a good thing for Mayo. The point being the Connacht final wasn't lambs versus beasts, that's for sure.

Oh don't get me wrong. Mayo are no angels. That's for sure! But there was no discipline in London for the last 15 minutes. They are hefty lads and some of the late tackles and careless swings towards to end could have done damage. Referee seem intent on ending the game with a full compliment and the more London realised this the more they upped their game. Anyway, nothing serious happened.
