Maybe Myles is trying to guess TC's team rather than his own?? Corr at FB would be madness but I wouldn't be surprised if he was there. And I assume the  ommission of McCutcheon is mistake. I also wouldn't be happy with the Gunner starting considering his input to the panel.
As for the route to Cork, I don't have a clue but I'd have thought the route planner would've taken most things into consideration and wouldn't exaggerate one route and not the other. Anyway PIU I'll be on for a pint. I'll be the boy in the blue jersey.

Jaysus, I did leave McCutcheon out. There is a hard call to make in there, it could mean McGuigan being dropped.

Problem with Corr is that TC has not tried anyone else out at FB - is it wise to start trying a new FB now?

I suppose Hannon or Shieridan could go in there but you know we need to try and develop a FB and punishing Corr for a bad game is not the answer either.

Cork were run very very close by Limerick playing a system like I outlined, if we frustrate them and try and hit them with a running game on the break I think is our best chance. Leave our defence exposed and we'll get an awful hammering.

corrs had more than one bad game this year,id still prefare sheridan than him.that would also mean (for myles' team) you could put sheridan full back and bring in mccutcheon.i dont think we'd be fit to play well using that kind of a system,it takes more than 2 weeks to implement a system like that.

will mackey and johnston gel in the full forward line??they didnt work well together against fermanagh.

He wasn't great against Fermanagh either. There really is feck all other options I suppose but I would be quite confident with Hannon or Sheridan there. Cork don't play with a big target man do they? And no harm to him Myles I know we all want to develop a new Full-Back but judging from what I have seen he is not our long-term solutuon although I understand Full-back is a spot you get better at the more you play there.

Myles, I fully acknowlege it is going to take a huge defensive effort but I think if we have too many lads back it lets lads hide and not take full responsibility. With 6 backs + the sweeper every man has his responsiblitily and when that men gets away from him it is up to the sweeper or someone else to make up the ground and help out. I just dont believe that more defenders necessarily means a better defence if you get me?

Work-rate is going to be far more important. You can have all the lads back in the world but if there not working hard and just sitting in space- then they may aswell sit down on the field and say I'll look after this area. Plus, I would rather be pressuring Cork's midfield area to prevent the delivery of quality ball. To do that we need lads in and arond the Cork Half-backl line, working there asses off there rather than crowding space in my opinion. If we try to crowd the defence, Cork will play the running game and pull us apart i think.

Firstly Sam's the aim maybe learn some punctuation.

Secondly, ponder on this question for a second my good friend. Who do you think told Tommy he had a sore ankle?

And, while I am at it, maybe you should get your facts right. I didn't give Seanie any abuse, I asked a question. I have nothing but respect for him as a player and as an athlete - I just noticed he always seems to carry some knock before a big-game. That is a fact.

[sams the aim]

God knows who told tommy he did, are u a 100% sure that thats the case?Came back from a serious serious injury too soon i might add just to play for his county and all you see is the bad points. there is a fact

[full moon]

I think you hit a nerve with another in the closet Gaels man, put it up. Wouldn't mind, I've rarely seen a player get full on criticism never mind abuse fron anyone here. Bar me, I like to stick the knife in.  So that point is null and void.

Goes to show what a player he is when he has a knock and can still do what he did against Wicklow.

Greetings from the U.S of A.

A friend and a fellow board member recently told me this would be the best site to keep up to date with the thrills and spills of Cavan Football while I make my way around the US.  How are we set for the weekend anyway? My good friend Paddy Power has us at 8/1 

With regards to the above comment from Mr. Pain, were you having a Tom Hank (w*nk) at the time of writing or something?

For a minute I thought it was Seanie himself. But then I thought to myself, after 6 odd years in DCU, I doubt his writing skills were that bad
