Really looking forward to this game and the start of our 3 in a row year, can't remember the last time we played Cavan in a competitive match but I always look forward to playing new opposition, can't really comment on how it will go cause I don't know to much about Cavan other than they have the Kildare man Seanie Johnston on board and haven't a clue what Dublin team will be selected but maybe some Cavan folk can give their thoughts on this game? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 25/01/2017 11:02:30 1948648 Link 0 |
Cavan will be going all guns blazing I'd imagine in this one and will want to start well in league. Looking forward to the game but would think well have a mixed bag on display and hard to say what way it will go. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 25/01/2017 12:29:57 1948671 Link 0 |
2008 was the last time Cavan would have played Dublin in a competitive game. Division 2 League game in Breffni. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 25/01/2017 12:58:20 1948680 Link 0 |
TBH our defence seems a bit unsettled going by the mckenna cup. McBrearty and McHugh just walked through. I feel Brogan with his off the ball movement alone could do a lot of damage if he plays. Cavan will be up for it but with Dublins overall panel I feel they will be way too cute. If they put the shackles on Seanie I can't see where our scores will come from. Dublin by 4/5plus. I'd be happy with a decent 70min performance in that one. Awwwwnow (Cavan) - Posts: 1050 - 25/01/2017 13:23:49 1948685 Link 1 |
I hate to say it but i can see Cavan causing a big upset. Going by Dublin this year so far not sure what team they will put out but with a new manager Cavan could get pull off a shock win here! Muineachain76 (Monaghan) - Posts: 180 - 25/01/2017 13:28:43 1948687 Link 0 |
No idea how Dublin are going to line out Sunday week. I think I'll head up for a look in anyways as I haven't been to Breffni Park for awhile. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13725 - 25/01/2017 13:33:25 1948691 Link 0 |
Yeah like the above posters have pointed out, I think our own absentees will mean that we won't take full advantage of Dublin's. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5028 - 25/01/2017 13:36:27 1948696 Link 0 |

I expect a Dublin victory.As i will in every game this year.More than likely though,we will be beaten in a game (maybe two) in this years league as this unbeaten run has to come to an end sometime.No big deal if it does.Another Div 1 title would be nice.Winning is a habit,afterall. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 25/01/2017 13:51:06 1948701 Link 1 |
Make sure to bypass Navan on the way down lads. I'd expect crowds of biblical proportions at Biggy's allstars' opening game of their promotion season. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12133 - 25/01/2017 13:57:04 1948705 Link 1 |

Impossible to know how this one will go. If we had all our players available and Dublin had an inexperienced outfit then I would say we could put it up to you but as it is, we in Cavan don't really know what to expect as The McKenna Cup posed more questions than it answered. My gut feeling is that we will struggle, hope I'm proved wrong though. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 25/01/2017 14:49:13 1948720 Link 0 |
Kells too, unless you were planning on replacing your windshield anyway.

5 in our heading up, I'd say there will big a good crowd taking the short drive up the N3 alright. Quick winter and back into NFL action already, dunno what to expect from us regards team etc but I think we might just have enough to see ye off but with Cavan giving us a good rattle. Roll on Sunday week.

Not sure what you mean by aul lad but the imperial is probably your best bet. It's bang in the middle of the town.

Ha go way outta tha realdub.Forget a club or late bar.You'll be lucky to find an ole shebeen in the sticks,with an outhouse for a jacks,sawdust on the floor,and a few gap-toothed aul lads in tattered suits swiggin out of filthy pint glasses while chewin straw.Think of the two Cavan lads on the Savage Eye!As soon as you drive over the Cavan border it goes back to 1850 (:
