Great win. Banty the cowboy won't be as cocky now.

So true a great win and bragging rights at work

That was a very pleasant surprise especially with so many missing. Well done Cavan and sorry for doubting you.

Hammar

Oh that was immensely enjoyable!! Fantastic win, with some absolutely heroic performances out there. 3 in a row over the mushroom pickers, do we get to keep them now?

great win, fair play lads, I didn’t see that coming, delighted I was wrong

mylestheslasher

Fair play to Banty, he was right a record win. 😂

More later. In the chipper in Blacklion for a well earned feed.

The 2 goal were brilliant finishes. Faulker has scored a few goals like that at club and County breaking through. Gerry Smith showed great speed breaking down the wing for his goal. Paddy Lynch was excellent from frees and a few points from play.

defence defended well. Killian Brady a good battling perfomance. Oisin Brady was wasteful at times and should have passed it, but kicked a nice score at start of second half.

What's evident today was Cavan's willingness to take the extra solo, make the extra pass, take the more difficult shot to go for goal. Previously there has been a tendency to take the point a touch early.

If Clifford scored the goal Faulkner did, we'd be hearing about it for weeks! An outrageous show of skill and bravery from our captain.

It's been a rough month for the county results-wise. We needed that shot in the arm..

It was an important win today after how the league ended. They could have waiting until May 18./19th for the All Ireland series low on confidence. At least they have a win behind them, and give it a lash against Tyrone in Breffni. I watched Tyrone in a few league games and they were far from convincing. Darragh Canavan was the difference.

Great win. Well done Cavan.

It will be a home game for Tyrone.

Great game some lads stood up today and gave good performances. Carlon is some lad to break at speed. Beanie kept McManus to a point from play and was decent in the transition. Paddy Lynch and them frees in the first half kept us in the game.

I've been critical of Galligan but tactically spot on today.

As for Tyrone they do not look the force of old Canavan is the main danger but I'd imagine Beanie will be up for another marking job. We are well over due beating them but it will not be easy.

On a side note anybody on good terms with a bishop have a confirmation the day of the Tyrone game I could do with been poached back and hour ?

Fantastic victory that nobody saw coming to be honest. We pulled that one out of nowhere.

That said, Paddy Lynch will be lucky if he’s not triple marked in 2 weeks. Cian Madden & Oisin Brady provided very little. Brady improved but trying to let him play himself into form isn’t working.

James Smith going off was unfortunate. He was left around the middle and showed that’s where he belongs.

Gary O’Rourke very assured in goals. Was unlucky to concede as he’d made the initial save.

It's Breffni. If the away team wins the preliminary, they get home for the quarters.

tazman06

Nothing there says Omagh. Just named Tyrone first as they were known. Venue is tbc on that, but it's set that if the away team wins the preliminary they get home in quarters

That Hail Mary effort Brady took from away out on the wing in the second half was a 1/10 chance and he should not have been taking that risk. It was foolish. I hope Galligan has a word with them about wasteful shooting. A Monaghan lad did the same later on too and i was delighted with him.

Yes, that was always the way.

TheGadfly

I met a lad in the jacks at half time and he said that we'd need to improve for the second half. My reply was that I was happy with being only 2 down after playing against that wind. I was saying to the kids during the first half that if we go in no more than 3 down we have a great chance.

It may have looked different on telly but that was an outstanding performance all round. I wouldn't be critical of anyone considering some of the performances towards the end of the league. The difference was night and day. Everyone played well over the course of the match.

mylestheslasher

Game is 100% in Breffni but maybe we should offer to play it in Omagh given our record in Breffni lately.

Our record against Tyrone is always atrocious. Yet I can't recall playing them in Breffni in Championship recent years. Always Omagh or Clones. So I'll take them at home any day and give them a rattle from there

rrs

They had a retirements over the winter, Niall Sudden, Ronan McNamee. McNamee was always no nonsense in the full back line. Some of the older players like Mattie Donnelly missed a lot of football, cane back at end of league.

tazman06

Watching the game back near midnight as I'm a loser. Jack McCarron won't be able to sleep tonight as he'll keep seeing Killian Gunner Brady spooking him at every turn

I was at the kildare game and I must say I was very impressed by ye. Thought your tackling in defence was fantastic. Kildare's subsequent showing was dreadful and ye tailed off a bit towards the end of the league. But I wasn't at all surprised at ye today. Ye were by far the better team and I wish ye well against Tyrone. I'd love to see ye back in the big time ye have such a great tradition in the game. Your manager is top class too.
