Well done to Cootehill on winning the intermediate this evening, sounds like Hessin had one hell of a game.

cavan4sam

Serious 2nd half from cootehill . They moved the ball at breakneck speed ballyhaise really had no answer to them . Hessan scored around 1-08 . A serious talent . Would love to see him in around the senior panel soon .
Good luck to the 2 teams in junior final today

Very dissapointing effort from Ballymachugh alright but Arva did what they had to and have some nice footballers.

Kinsgscourt and Gaels final in the Senior - I had fancied Ballinagh to get through yesterday and had a chance to level the match up. Not sure Kingscourt have enough firepower to beat the Gaels but stranger things have happened.

cavan4sam

not so sure the gaels are as strong as the replay result against lacken would suggest
should be a decent game

nice to see arva getting their title after coming so close last year

saw somewhere cootehill play portglenone of antrim in ulster , its down for the 19th of october in kbp @2 30 , will this be before the senior final or is it this weekend ?

Lacken game really told nothing about where the Gaels are at - Lacken were awful and didn't show up. It's really hard to know where the Gaels are at to be honest as Cuchuallains were never going to trouble them.

Final is set for this coming Sunday at 4 pm. Winners play Derry champions (Ballinderry) a fortnight later.

I see SJ kicked 1-8 to get player of the week. Must be due a recall to the squad if that form keeps up. Hyland always said if a player playing well at club level he would consider him. Has Terence the balls now to bring Seanie back in? Or is he just a mouthpiece spouting ****e that he thinks ppl want to hear? Time will tell

Has he the balls? I'd say so yes.
Is he stupid enough to bring in an overrated arrogant turncoat that we were blessed to get rid of in the first place? No, I don't think so.

it's quiet possible our Terence could also be overrated as a Senior inter county manager. What's his claim to fame? A win against Derry in the qualifiers? Well even Longford achieved that. If Hyland is serious about giving everyone a chance well that means everybody doesn't it? Otherwise there is no incentive for club footballers to improve .

Tom Joad

So Seanie scores 1-8 against Cuchullains and he deserves a call up. If Thomas Wakely lets Seanie out of his pocket in the final and he gets near the same it might be a debate worth having. Until then I'll reserve judgement.

. Thomas who? Johnstone has nothing to prove to anyone in Cavan regarding his ability. There are plenty of doughnuts already in the senior panel who can't take a score from 30m.,but Terence has a soft spot for them because they his former u21s. That's no way to run a county team. That panel is harder to get off than to get on.

Terence is suppose to be the saviour of our senior setup!

Dixon1983

OMG I hear McHales name being mentioned as maybe joining the back room team. His own county didn't seem to want him nor Westmeath!.. I hear he is a very good basketball coach. That might suit us as we don't kick the ball anyway.!! I can see things going from bad to worse here. A quick return to Div 3 a first round championship loss and bang out goes Terence and in comes Saint Peter Reilly! The script has already been written. And get your money on Tom "no all" Reilly being Central Council Rep next year. Cos he won't go quietly!

ouch we have a few issues dont we ????
I'll reserve judgement until I see what kind of football we play this year but I'd hoping we can rattle monaghan in the 1st round

In all fairness I can see the winner of the cavan/monaghan match getting to the ulster final with a 50/50 chance of winning it. Any idea if that match is in Cavan?

Yes it is in kbp as cavan were first team out

Look we got 9 months to prepare for Monaghan . To be honest they are fairly predictable in the way they play. This year mcGuinness knew if won Ulster he would meet the Dubs hence the jumping for joy after the Ulster final win. His 9 months perpetration to beat the Dubs then paid off. Questions will really be asked of this set of players and management if we can't put it up to an ageing Monaghan team.

celt262

This is it now boys a real chance for this group of players and management to get to an Ulster Final. The time for excuses is over and if things don't go well it will be time for some to move on.

Dixon1983

I think if we could handpick the 3 teams to be in our half that's the 3 I would pick. Monaghan are limited .

Limited yes but their full back line is pretty good. Keating and Dunne got absolutely nothing off them last year, and unless the gameplan changes it will be the same again this year

His ability is not in question. Its his attitude thats the problem

It the game plan doesn't change it will be relegation in the league and difficult times for Terry.

Dixon1983

Gameplan has to change . We can't keep playing this defensive ****e football where we don't even kick the ****ing ball. There is so real experience needed to be added to the back room team. Hyland can't do it all himself and I honestly don't think Forde is up to the task. We seemed to be lacking tactical know how during games thus relying on the usual late substitutions to change games that were already lost. I think Terry needs an experienced outsider who can give a fair and balanced view someone like mc Hugh or Boylan or mcEniff who have experience of match day situations who also won't be a threat to Terry's position either.their is no real inter county management experience in the set up.

Seriously? You'd pick Monaghan over Derry or Down, even Armagh or Tyrone?

I think the local derby aspect will mean it's a tough, tight game, but I'd still have Monaghan as second behind Donegal in Ulster. They may be limited, but their defence is excellent and McManus up front can do damage on his own.

Winners of that tie surely into the final, should be great motivation for both sides.

P.S. Also your aging remark about the Monaghan team is way off the mark, looking through their age profile shows a young enough side with 2-3 exceptions.

We could have and should have beaten Monaghan last year with a bit of luck. Monaghan certainly haven't got any better since their Ulster win and we have the potential to greatly improve if we get our back room and game plan right. Throw in the fact that's it's a local derby where form goes out the window and it's also in Breffni. I'd rather gave monaghan any day for those reasons before any team in the other half. Also Their average age is way higher than ours.
