If we execute a decent kick out plan and have the right fellas ready to get the breaking ball we'll have a lot more quality possession than 2025. We have the range of skills and ability. We need to grow confidence and belief. Persevere during the match. Our forwards need to give it a lash and go for it. Break the line and bury it more often. Life's too short.

Are you having a laugh? you think Division 2 is average? Cavan Cork Derry Tyrone Louth Meath Offaly Kildare Kildare and Offaly should be beatable, but the rest are far from easy and given the fact that we have lost a few players to retirement and not committing in 2026.

I'd hold back on the celebrations for a while there Tom. That Cavan team who lined out last night are a long way off what will be playing in the league. Your own crowd looked very ordinary and will struggle in Division One. Apart from the Scotstown lads, you haven't a huge pile coming back. As for Scotstown themselves. That Brigids game finished in farcical fashion. Putting your goalie in on the square and ballooning the ball in there is 1970s stuff. It's crazy that your 34 year old goalie is what you pins hopes of success on. Other than Beggan, no other Scotstown player is going to provide a scoring threat in the top division. Against a young and naive Cavan defence, Garland did OK. He's not getting that chance against the teams in the top division. Those are the facts, Tom.

Tom must be devastated at the United Parishes plus transfers failing to make Croker.

Killian Lavelle Michael Hamill Bobby Mc Caul Louis Kelly Ryan Wylie Dylan Byrne Stephen O Hanlon Ryan Mc Anespie Aaron Carey 6 of the above played an all Ireland quarter final last yr. Lavelle would have played. Plus 8/9 scotstown lads, Little do you know. Good to see Gearoid back, what's another year. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 455 - 05/01/2026 14:03:35 2649891 Link 0 |

Nonsense. The Scotstown players and most mentioned there are good players but they're the old tried and tested. You're bang ordinary and it's great to see. We're going for 5 in a row against you in Clones. Your gang has won 3 Ulsters in the last 30 years. You're no more competing for the top table than we are. Other than your 34 year old goalie, the rest of your score threats are nothing to see rite home about. And to sneer at Gearoid Mckiernan continuing to play when your 34 year old goalie is near your top scorer!!! The irony!!!

Poor stuff in Temp last night, conditions werent great but Fermanagh the better team overall, Cavan very laboured in their play whereas Fermanagh moved the ball quickly and similar to Monaghan last week, were able to score at their ease sometimes. The other worrying factor was how easy is was for both Monaghan and Fermanagh to cut us open at times to create goal chances. A lot of work needed for the league kicking off in a few weeks, apart from a few new debuts, there wasnt much positives to take from the McKenna Cup campaign. Cavan need to be more direct and get the ball in early, again, similar to previous years, very slow on the ball and too much backward and sidewards passing.

Interesting stats. I suppose 2-12 from turnovers tells it's own story. Although Kerry put on alot of pressure all over the field that day and we were given a very harsh black card. We were definitely second best but had an opportunity in the second half. If I remember correctly Jason McLoughlin also had a very good game that day on Sean O'Shea The McKenna Cup was poor enough but all will be quickly forgotten about if we win in Cork. 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 436 - 09/01/2026 12:01:49 2650376 Link 0 |

Is cavan really that stuck for players that they have to play a student on Wednesday who played with his college on the Tuesday? No-one involved know the rules? And even if there were no rules, where's the regard for player welfare. And players really need to man up, they'll be complaining about workload when they're injured. wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1745 - 10/01/2026 08:12:45 2650493 Link 0 |

Yeah McLoughlin had a good game. He did a great bit of defending on Clifford where he showed him onto his right foot and Clifford shot wide

The playing of players was pre-arranged with a total disregard for the rules - McKenna cup is mainly about getting players minutes in competitive games to get them ready for the league. As for players needing to man up - if a player is on a sports scholarship with his college and also on a County Team, what's he supposed to do? play for the college and get dropped from County or play for the County and lose his scholarship - but with those players from Wednesday night, if they played college football Tuesday night, the county manager shouldve excused them from Wednesday night.

Lads, give over its history, Kerry played in 1st gear that day, they toyed with us and could've lifted it at any stage. We are millions of light years away from competing against Kerry or indeed any of the top teams. New manager in, needs to bring new ideas, new players and find some sort of identity, but it needs time and patience, its not going to happen this year or indeed in the next 3 years but it needs time.
