Fan of Netflix wrote: » We had big lads on the panel like Argue, Niall McKiernan and Tierney but they got no game time. I'd be surprised if we still had any of them next year. They weren't making the bench.

Fan of Netflix wrote: » We have 40 clubs that means 80 lads starting midfield with their first team. Probably another 20-40 injured, away or that could do a job midfield. Is there anything there to step up and would they be given a chance.

Roman Flanagan 7. Aaron O Hara 8. Mattie Mckenna 9. Liam Buchannan 10. Phil Tinnelly 11. Barry Reilly 12. Ends Hessin 13..Conor Smith 14. Shane Tierney 15. Joe Dillon Some are injured and were there before, but maybe a best of what's out there

Fan of Netflix wrote: » Yeah there is not much there to pick from. We have lost too many players in the last 5 years who moved away or quit playing altogether. A lot of lads don't work in Cavan, it's serious commitment now , a very tough ask if you aren't living locally and working elsewhere. Very hard to keep a team together if you aren't winning anything.
benjy1000 wrote: » True , even for next year you never know some of them might not commit , a lot of them live and work in Dublin. It’s just so frustrating as a supporter I feel I’m saying the same thing every year for the past 20 years , continuously stuck on a roundabout. At this moment in time staying up in division 2 will do me.
Fan of Netflix wrote: » But yeah very frustrating as a supporter. Division 2 will not be easy Kildare, Armagh, Roscommon, Fermanagh, Clare. We don't really know what the team will look like either.
rrs wrote: » I know they aren't available at present. They will be back for Club championship. Smith and Mckenna asaik. I'm aware Flanagan retired, but still one of the top Club players. Tom Hayes is suppose to be playing good stuff in Dublin with Ballyboden. He didn't impress before really but worth another look.
rrs wrote: » I included him as he would still be good enough to make an impact, from what's out there Obviously I'm not Mickey Graham and won't coax him out of retirement, so don't get so worked up over it..
rrs wrote: » Look, I just picked a 15 players that are good club footballers and I'm aware some are injured or retired,.. I'm not saying they all should be there or recalled , just a 15 I thought of compared to yesterday's team. You're just arguing for the sake of it. Of course a lot won't be involved next yes.. rIt's 6.months till Cavan play again... Not much else to chat about till. Club championship start. Stick up your own 15 so we can squabble at each inclusion

Cavan_King wrote: » Smith will be in when he recovers from injury which will be August/September. The county setup have taken over his rehabilitation and recovery regime from his current injury. Who is Brian O'Connell? I though the O'Connell lad that is good for Ramor is Adam? Shane Tierney won't be going in. He has too much on, and as previously said, he was treated dreadfully by McGleenan.
Thunderbirds wrote: » I didn't know Tierney was in under McGleenan? Yeah it's Brian pronounced Breen O Connell. He in Australia at moment but home soon.
Fan of Netflix wrote: » The well has dried up, several players have moved away and don't want to commit, others have been poorly treated and don't want to come back. There is also something wrong when Cavan Gaels have to amalgamate at under age levels. I feel like player numbers have dropped significantly at underage and senior level in Cavan. Why is this and where have things gone wrong at club level that lads don't enjoy it or want to play?
