I think Buchanan is the natural answer at midfield and I would love to see Gearoid back on the 40. McVeety is doing very well there this year though but he has been rotating. He is clinical at full forward also as he showed last weekend! Buchanan and Argue need to be pushing our present midfield and we need some options. Any top level county has at least 4 options and it is still a vital area for getting on the front foot. I am hoping for a win over Roscommon but to suggest that we would get enough to make us better than Mayo or Kerry on score difference is madness. A 1 point win would do me and the rest is with the gods. We have no right, based on our last number of meetings, to think that we can go down to the Hyde and give Roscommon a trimming.

Donegal V Cavan. Ulster Final. 2019- - 3 Like(s)
As the Donegal posters above are saying, 5-10 point margins are what they would expect and hope for. And I can't really give a substantial argument to that logic. However, I think there is an opportunity here for Cavan. I have seen some of these Cavan players beat Donegal teams including McBrearty, McHugh, et al in Ulster Finals. While I wouldn't like to say that this is a free hit for the Cavan lads, its certainly an opportunity to throw the kitchen sink at Donegal and see if we have enough. Lets face it, there is a fair bit of diplomacy littering these forums however the reality is that nobody gives Cavan a hope in hell of winning this one. I am probably going offline after this post as I am getting too nervous about Sunday now. And I am also tired of reading that Cavan have "McVeety, Clarke and Moynagh". Trust me, there is a lot more to this Cavan team than only those three. I am going to go where no other man has gone before and will say - Cavan will win this game!

Some of the nonsense on here is hard to fathom!! Why bother playing back door? Who can ask that in all seriousness. I am 100% sure that the people who are posting things like that have very little else going on in their life! I am not alone in saying that I am a Cavan fan. I grew up as one since I was 3 years old and I rarely miss a game. The reason is that I love going to games and supporting my team. We have no divine right to win All Ireland's but I live in hope that it will happen again in my lifetime. People posting rubbish on here about 'Why bother' need to ask themselves - Why bother posting on this forum? You don't care much for Cavan football so go off and find something you do care about and channel your energy into that. I will listen to criticism from real fans and people that care but some of the nonsense on here is destroying this forum.

Meath suporters seem to be very concerned over climate change! I dont think that we in Cavan, no matter how bad the times have ever been, have really doubted that on any given day, we can beat the Royals. Our neighbours seem to be a bit unsettled with all this. Sincere congratulations to our county board for fixing the weather - it seems to have done the trick! : )

Tom, with respect, I'd say people have better things in their lives than this. I imagine you at the bar, taking a sip of beer and then saying Tom Smith here after every gulp. "Tom Smith here, can I have a pint of Heineken"? "Tom Smith here, have you any bacon fries"? Etc.

Have we the eggs ready lads? ;) Fair play to Mattie and the team! Great performance to a man and played football the way it should be played. The table makes nice viewing this evening!

Mayo V Cavan - 1 Like(s)
Unfortunately Cavan disappeared after half time as they did against Kerry. But I was sitting watching as the Cavan keeper was bundled into the net along with the ball. How in the name of god was that not a free out? I think it was a turning point and is infuriating when you already have a mountain to climb! Not Mayo's fault however and they closed the game out and deserved their win in the end.

Cavan v Armagh - 1 Like(s)
Having watched Tyrone demolish Derry yesterday, I think we know that we have a tough game awaiting us IF we manage to get past Armagh. I read nothing into what happened in the league and we know that they finished strong in their campaign. I expect that this will be a closer game but our home form has been good of late, or at least since the Derry game, and I think that we can progress. Looking forward to it and hope this awful weather will clear up and that we have a good crowd in Breffni on Sunday. I hope that we haven't lost momentum since the Tyrone game. Not much chat since then but we will be back in business with a win. Cavan by 4!

This is an unexpected bit of sunshine in August for Cavan fans. Well done to all the players and management. I thought we were beaten by a much better team in the Ulster Final but id take losing that and finding our way into Croker any day. We have a habit of getting excited with medals and trophies in Cavan and these young lads had the hunger in abundance in Carrick-on-Shannon on Sunday. Well done all but lets not stop here. Go and make a bit of history!

Cavan In The Qualifiers/ Super 8S - 1 Like(s)
This is a huge game for us but I think not only because of the Super 8's. I think that we have seen some progress this year and from what I have seen from the U 20's, we can strengthen our panel next year without losing anyone (if Cian Mackey keeps going). But this is an opportunity to put down a marker and to prove to ourselves that Tyrone are beatable. And they are! I think that if we could even win this one, it would represent a huge year for us and would set us up very nicely for the coming year. But now is not the time to talk about next year so I'll leave it there. One step at a time and hope that we can find a way to get this monkey off our back. If we do, plenty to look forward to. If we don't, plenty to look forward to.

Having participated and listened to many debates and points of view since the Tipp game, my opinion remains that we have the players to be more competitive but the main flows are still as follows; Game plan - We need a system where players know their roles. Where we struggle is when we have possession and we move it slowly. We need players who can take responsibility on the ball rather than just passing to someone else. Mentality - The eternal struggle for Cavan teams. Do our players ever really believe that they will cause an upset? Do they believe that Cavan can win tight games and cause an occasional upset? We have been on the end of too many small defeats over the years. Mattie needs time to make his mark on the team and we have to give him a chance. Calling for his head is pointless at this stage. Nobody is happy about the manner of how we lost to Tipp but we have to take our medicine and move on. Lets not forget, there wasn't much of a queue for this job, despite the fact the new manager was inheriting a large group of former Ulster minor & U21 winners who were moving into division 1. We need to get back to our clubs and try to encourage our younger players and work with them. We all have a role to play in Cavan and thats what I intend to do over the next months.

The next 3 games are the pivotal ones and the ones we would have targeted. If we can get 2 points against Roscommon at home then its a start. The games against Monaghan and Tyrone will then be 4 pointers. With both of the latter games away, I think it will be a big ask to attain 6 points from these games. If we manage to do so, we should have earned our keep in division 1 for another year. With regards to the football, I am positive about what I have seen. I see more definition in the way we are trying to play and I think that Mickey is working on a template for the team. it takes time and I think we have a lot of people getting fed up with hearing that all the time. But it is how it is and he deserves time. I think that we will be a lot further on this time next year, even if we are playing division 2 football. We have a 2-3 more quality players to come back in so I am hopeful of making an impact on the championship. Monaghan will be very tough but if we lose then we only need to look to what Kildare done last year,

What a game of football first and foremost. That was an incredible performance from Kerry to run this Dublin team so close but in the end, I think the subs that came in for Dublin made a telling difference. This was Gaelic Football at its best and there must be some seriously tired bodies this morning. I think Kerry can take great pride in that performance and they nearly upset the odds. I thought that if they could have rode out the early pressure in the second half then they would have closed it out. But they didn't and the Dubs now have come through a perfect warm up for an All Ireland final. I can't see Mayo stopping them now. Back to the point of this thread; the scenes at the end were very ugly and certainly something that nobody needs to see. We all know tempers run high but that is simply not acceptable behaviour. From what I could see, it was mainly men in the 50's & 60's hurling stuff down. The same men who most likely bitch and moan about English soccer fans causing hassle. Its not cool and shouldn't be allowed to happen again. If they can't have manners and set an example for younger people then don't allow them back to watch Gaelic Football games.

Some cribbing from the Tyrone lads here. The pressure is showing. Yours to lose lads. We will be up for it Sunday week. We can play much better than that. Oh and to abuse Cavan people for booing a '45. Ye have been consistently the loudest and ugliest fans in Ulster as long as I have been going to games (40 years). Id be surprised if any poster from any other county disagreed with that! Maybe you should be looking at what went wrong internally instead of chastising us. Nervy nervy :)
