Ah yeah I fully agree but you can't carry on like that after the lad has ripped you a new one all day AND your team is getting destroyed.

Shock of the weekend delivered already in the stick ball, don't see any others.

Damien Donahoe on Northern Sound thought it was a really good Cavan performance. He is some man to exaggerate. Clifford could have had 6 goals. Kerry turned over some amount of ball. Cavan looked very heavy legged in the first half. Improved in second half but they had the wind and couldn't be any worse.

Wind advantage and outscored Kerry 1-9 to 1-8. Kerry played through the motions, 3rd Kerry/Clifford goal killed off the Cavan comeback.

What I've seen of Kerry during all of this championship this year it's hard to see them suddenly improving and overturning last years defeat to Armagh.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I like a lot of Damien's tactical analysis, and he showed promise as our u20 boss by turning out a side with a lot more resilience and mental fortitude than the usual appalling Cavan contemporary standard, but in media analysis he's a cult of positivity type when it comes to Cavan seniors. Too much negativity is no use either, of course, but it's delusional ould soft-soaping shite like this that stops Cavan football acknowledging the various elephants in various rooms, and we remain stuck where we are, blowing smoke up our own arses and resolutely going nowhere - unless you count backwards as a sporting direction.

I don't know about  that. I have a feeling Down  will take out Galway.

Great win for  Dublin hurlers though. Fully deserved too, and  with 14 men.

Dublin 0-4 Cork 0-2 in the opening ten minutes.  Con O'Callaghan named to start but didn't start.

Goal for Cork they lead by 1.

Down certainly on the up and being talked up, but I don't see it, they've come out of a weak group, Galway by 6+

After a poor start going 0-4 to 0-0 behind Cork now have a decent chance here.

Brian O'Driscoll is such a calm, efficient, economical footballer. In the league, at Breffni this year, he absolutely ran the game and he's very prominent here too.

Very solid player. He was part of that Cork U21 team that beat Cavan in 2013.

Dublin hurlers to exceed Dublin footballers?
