good to get out of that one i had a bad feeling about it

it was a game that will stand to us

positives we put more scores on the board and conceded less scores than mayo

2 39 in 2 weeks is good scoring no matter what the opposition

onwards and upwards bring on the draw

right, that was way more uncomfortable that I thought it would be. After 15 minutes we were cruising, took that long for london to come into the game. The Goal obviously brought them right back in it, it was worrying to see our intensity drop for the middle third of the game. Lads out the field were taking the ball in static positions, not making yards necessary in order to feed the lads inside. Add to this we gave away some really dumb possessions, players soloing the ball off their shin into an opponents arms, poorly executed hand passes. Also some of the shooting was horrendous

that said it could very well be the ideal result for us going into the quarters. It will not have impressed any neutrals watching the game so we can go in under the radar so to speak. Mo Fitz made the point of the pitch being too large to impose our game plan, perhaps he has a point, maybe the occasion got to them a little bit, again its great to have had this outing in headquarters so on our return nothing is new. Hopefully the up in quality of our next opponents will shake the lads out of the stupour they suffered from today. Anyways its a championship game won and thats all really that matters for now. Onwards...

Wasn't pretty but relieved to get through that. Will require a massive improvement if we are to challenge in a quarter final but.

1. We don't do favourites well and it was reflected in the lack of intensity and sloppiness at times.

2. We are not used to Croker and the pressure that brings to bear. We have now got that 61 years monkey off our back and that will stand to this team and not just this year but over next few years. Cannot over emphasis how important that win was to get that out of the way.

3. Extra-time in Derry last weekend took a huge toll on the players and the legs and we usually go with the same 15 so that had an effect. I know London were more tired with shorter turn-around but Cavans game is built on high intensity and movement - we looked flat today.

Bottom line - we got through today, we are in the draw for the next round, we have won in Croke Park and we will be written off all next week no matter who we are drawn against..

Much better in the second half. Must have got an earful.
Improvement needed for QF.

As much as I'm super happy we won... if we pay like that in the next match we'll be massacred

Cavan through to quarter finals. Hope the real Cavan is the one that played Armagh and Derry, not the one seen today. Maybe nerves at Croke Park, maybe tiredness, maybe underestimating London played factors.

Pleased for London that they put in a good display on the big stage. With the recession continuing so harshly in Ireland and the UK economy looking to be on the road out of the doldrums maybe they'll get stronger, but that's another story altogether.

Tom Joad

Great save and nice worked goal - harsh on London but happy to get over the line..

Taffy Kat

Goal! Cavan through!

Taffy Kat

Six up. Hope Cavan were just tired today otherwise next week could be a massacre against any of the four provincial winners.

Tom Joad

Tiredness showing for London - need to see this one out

Taffy Kat

Four up, surely Cavan won't blow it now.

Lapin

Would have been a lot easier to score that.

Tom Joad

:eek: oh my god - how did he miss that

Tom Joad

the one's being dropped short are worse though...

Thanks. Historically, London have always been in front of New York, understandable as London is much nearer so there are probably far more Irish there.

Cavan would rue these wides against a better team.

Tom Joad

two points up - two good scores from Mackey and Keating - need more of that

Tom Joad

this is hard to watch

What was that feature on Premier Sports at half-time with Jack O'Connor and Darragh O'Se? Was it about New York? I saw it say something like "they have yet to win a game in the championship".

London can win this and Cavan are rotten today, would be lovely to see London get to a Quarter Final.

Very worried about this - I expected the lads to be nervous with the sense of occasion and the experience of playing in Croke Park but thought they had settled nicely - goal seems to have them shell shocked. Strong words needed in the dressing room for Terry and team.

tayto lover

Cavan seem to be thinking they only had to turn up. Very poor handling and completely out of it at midfield.

Taffy Kat

Level at half time. Happy that London are staying in it, even if I'm Welsh its positive from a UK point-of-view, but CAVAN MUST WIN! Wake up in the second half boys!

Neeson

Level at ht

1.6
To 0-9

Tom Joad

1-6 London Cavan 9 nearly ht

Welruc

What's the score there now?

Tom Joad

much better now - 2 cracking points

Taffy Kat

There's another here Tom

Sorry, I've been sending them out via mp because usually sites ban people for putting them up in public view.

Neeson

Shocking. But they'll win nonetheless.

Taffy Kat

Cavan really shaken to pieces after the London goal, behind now, struggling badly.
