Would you have any ideas for a man that could fill that role?
On another point Celt man,I seen yas a few times this year,What age is that McCrudden lad Gary is it,he impressed me against Killinkere.is he underage for Under 21?

No idea, someone without an agenda or prejudice against any clubs??? Does such a man exist??  Ehh Gary is 23 sometime this year but I could never see him going for the county anytime soon, just wouldn't have the interest to commit it.

Like Cootehill for instance,Colm Smith-loads of ability and a great left foot but very selfish and wouldnt have a great work rate.yet he is seen as your star forward.

Colm Smith is Cootehill's best forward.

I wouldn't think their were to many at it.  Doesn't seem to be any reports knockng about either.

Didn't go up myself but I thought someone on here was going to make the trip (Ballyhaiseman?). Couldn't get Northern Sound working on the old pc either - although that was probably a blessing in disguise.

Just heard the team that's all.... Fintan Reilly between the sticks, McCormack, Podge and Martin Cahill; McCutchen, Dane O'Dowd and Gunner in the Half backs; Galligan and Walshe in the middle, Mackey, Anton Reilly and Mad Edward, Gumley, Gibney and Pierson in the FF line.  Heard Galligan and someone else got yellows, galligan was also captain. And I believe the bould Larry make an appearance...

Colm Smith is Cootehill's best forward.

Colml is definitely Cootehill's best scoring forward and that's not always the same thing as a team's best forward...

Didn't make it up myself as I was struck down with the dreaded man-flu all weekend.

From Northern Sound I could tell...

Dane O'Dowd seemed to have a good game.
Ciaran Galligan was also said to be playing well up til his dismissal (yellow card)
Martin Cahill was the other player to leave the pitch with a yellow card
Nicolas Walsh went in and out of the game
Gibney made some great catches inside and set-up a lot of scores
LARRY is back!

Anyone who travelled up there would need their head examined especially if they were in Breffini the week before. 
It seems like it was an improvement anyway.  Looking forward to the Armagh game next weekend.

Also I heard the u21s ran out 5 point winners over Longford at the weekend in the Hastings Cup. Didn't hear teams or anything else though.

Tommy Carr celebrated his first win as manager of Cavan when the Breffni County came away from Casement Park with a hard-fought two-point win over a dogged Antrim side.

The strong breeze blowing from the M1 end of the ground ensured that the football wasn't going to be pretty and while Carr's side scored just three second-half points, they just about deserved their victory.

Antrim, also under new management in the shape of Liam Bradley, will rue a number of missed chances. Corner-forward Ciaran Close and midfielder Michael McCann had gilt-edged opportunities to find the net -- one in each half -- but on both occasions goalkeeper Fintan Reilly saved brilliantly.

The game's only goal came through Cavan's Paddy Gumley, who fired past John Finucane on 22 minutes in the middle of a 1-3 burst without reply for the visitors, after which they led by 1-5 to 0-2.

Six minutes later, Ger Pearson added a point to give Cavan a seven-point cushion, but Antrim replied with points from McCann, Aodhan Gallagher and Close to trail 1-8 to 0-7 at the break.

The home side continued to enjoy plenty of possession after the restart, but were simply not clinical enough in front of the posts. However, they stuck to their task and chipped away at the Cavan lead, cutting the deficit to two points through McCann on 53 minutes.

Close saw his goalbound shot saved when one-on-one with the goalie before Pearson and Eddie O'Reilly gave Cavan breathing space.

Close added his sixth point of the day in injury-time and sub Colm Fleming completed the scoring with a great effort with his first touch of the day, but Cavan held out for a deserved win - much to the relief of Carr.

<>Scorers -- Cavan: P Gumley 1-3 (0-2f, 0-1 '45), E O'Reilly 0-3, G Pearson 0-2, P Brady, N Walsh, J O'Reilly 0-1 each. Antrim: C Close 0-6, M McCann 0-3 (0- 2f), A Gallagher, K Brady, C Fleming 0-1 each.

Cavan4Ever, what kind of statement is that to make? Especially considering the name you've given yourself. Should it be Cavan4EverExceptForWhenThey'rePlayingALongDistanceAwayInTheMcKennaCup?

It's to far to be travelling at this time of year in bad weather for a glorified challenge game.  Were you in Breffini for the Queens match?  If you were you would understand what im saying. As i said last week this competion is a waste of time when half a dozen of lads that probably would be starting aren't aload play.

P.S  i like your purple writing.

I know I'd rather have a scoring forward on a club team as opposed to soem other type of forward who doesn't score!

Smith is excellent, he may be a bit greedy but he's by far the best forward Cootehill have.
