The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

Coaches do six weeks blocks twice a year I think in my lads school. Doesn't always turn up and won't let them tackle each other incase someone gets hurt…

Ah come on, that's a cod. If you're involved in coaching kids, you have to accept that a good number of them are hard to handle. It goes with the territory. For certain age groups, it is more crowd control than coaching but you stick with it.

Estimated attendance for the game?

A friend of mine is just back from South America. I picked him up at the airport in Belfast He was off grid working with indigenous people in the Andes since after Christmas. Teaching English. I told him Cavan are in a preliminary AI QF in Kerry. I told him how the league went. He's going down to Killarney on the beer to celebrate. He reckons that's a great year for Ray because he was sure we were heading for division 3.

I was thinking isolation until Sunday🤣

Much like yourse;f Myles I am a glutton for punishment and had resolved to one more outing for 2025, but the timing completely rules me out (won't even get to see it on GAA+) as I have a family gathering

Maybe the lads will surprise me and I will get a run at it the weekend after next :)

I don’t know Liam, he’s the best club keeper in the county IMO, but this would worry me because two years ago on the night of the odd vs evens age gradings debate the county board rolled him out to back their proposal to stay at odds.

He said his bit and they then couldn’t even get one delegate in the room to back their proposition it was so unthinkable, yet he had just spoken at length in favour of it.

Have we another yes man in a position? God forbid they appoint someone might challenge the status quo.

Focusing on the positives, he seems to be a very high achiever and for a young man has been extraordinarily committed to Cavan football. Playing second string to Galligan all those years and being a coach with the minors for the last 4 years.

If he approaches this role as he seems to have approached his other pursuits in life, it could prove to be an excellent aappointment. Hopefully the WAC lads will get him on and we can hear from him directly

Team to face Kerry

They haven't even mentioned " cavan " on the kerry thread. Talking about who's in and out and " armagh " .

Oh well. I suppose the truth only hurts the once.

Turnovers absolutely killing us. Just giving the ball away. This is going to be embarassing.

Ffs even the basics are missing today. Terrible stuff. Losing nearly every kick out now. This could be Galligan's last match as manager.

It should be. Another total **** show.

It really is a simple game. Kerry kick the ball so their forwards have space when they get it. Cavan run or handpass it so Kerry have time to setup. I don’t know how the Cavan management team haven’t seen transition is the problem all year.

Anyone who knows the game can see it's a system and management issue... Galligan will send us back years..

He seems to have the WAC lads backing him which Is just baffling... Two hours of a podcast during the week and little to no critique of management... They would probably blame Mattie McGleenan for this before Galligan.
