Replying To Hardtimes: "Where did I blame Mountnugent. He played on those teams because of his undoubted talent. That talent would have been served better had he been playing regularly at a higher standard of club football. Not a great stretch of the imagination and by no means a cut at Mountnugent. He's their club man and they would be crazy not to want him involved with their team. If there were amalgamations he would still be a Mountnugent club man." Givney is a huge loss to the cavan cause... but you can't go on about how he had to do it all on his own etc. . . I know club football well and if u remember correctly givney didn't play for a year or two with them and that year Templeport bet them in 2 minutes at the end of the semi and went on to win ... they played great football that year with the likes of caffreys henneseys and finnegans all coming to the fore... givney sometimes tries doing to much on his own and if he brought the team into the game with him more wheter it be club or County he would be unstoppable ! what I can't understand is WHY he doesn't want to play top flight football you only get one chance !!! john.pat69 (Cavan) - Posts: 7 - 15/02/2017 23:45:03 1957309 Link

He's played with Ballymun so high enough standard. If he joins a big club in London then the standard will be high. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 16/02/2017 07:56:01 1957335 Link

Unless your a teacher/student/rep or have serious flexi hours, forget about trying to juggle both. The trades and age profile of county teams now compared to 10 years ago are worlds apart. I'm sure if he's serious about his career(the one that pays the bills), County football will not be an option for the likes of David unfortunately. ballygowanwater (Cavan) - Posts: 207 - 16/02/2017 15:18:14 1957468 Link

I thought he was back in Cavan hence my question. It is very hard to juggle both. By the way I do know where you are coming from ????

It would be great to have Givney back as he was really making a consistent impact last year. We have appointed mc glennan as manager and we have to give him a chance and you can really only judge progress when we get knocked out of the championship in 2018 , what will we have achieved and he likely has another year after that. He is new to County Football managment and to the squad and County, there was'nt a queue of proven people looking for the post. It is an opportunity being in Division 1 but also hard in that we are understandably favourites to go down and playing at a level we have'nt for a long long time. We could be relegated and Mc Glennan be a successful Manager in the long term. Real Success ideally would be an Ulster Title and all Ireland quarters and Semis , but at least starting to win close championship games against the likes of Monaghan,Donegal,Tyrone and Derry and even Roscommon ,an improvement in decisions during games on the bench and starting to have a few consistent scoring forwards and not looking like we have run out of ideas. All this is simple to say but difficult to achieve. Remember Monaghan went to Divison 1 back down to Division 3 and on way back up won 2 Ulster titles. We need to be patient even though i don't want to be , hard to believe it is 20 years since we won Ulster and we are nearly matching the 28 year drought we had then. eamonnmac (Cavan) - Posts: 59 - 18/02/2017 19:38:13 1958014 Link

I certainly meant no disrespect to Mattie Mc Gleenan but i don't know him personally ,so should i say Mr mc gleenan. I am saying the championship is the litmus test of progress ultimately and that people should'nt be judging him too early. He is talented manager but this is his first job in County Management and no one said it was easy.I wish him and Cavan all the best, I have ultimate respect for the players and their hard work and effort in particular over the last couple of years.Whether we are good enough for Division 1 or an Ulster Title will be seen over the next couple of years , but i will still be proud of the team if they show the commitment and honesty of recent years and a lot of respect to Mr hyland for his work in that. Your value as a human being won't depend on whether you won or lost football games in the end. I can only think someone is having a cranky Sunday if they are saying my post is disrespectful. eamonnmac (Cavan) - Posts: 59 - 19/02/2017 22:37:12 1958450 Link
And then i looked back a bit earlier in this thread and there is you treating Killian Clarke with disrespect by your own standards ....get that log out of your eye ... Replying To goonie: "Poor show today , i actually taught before the game that the team named was just a dummy team , strange line out ,the team that finished the game for Cavan was a stronger one than started , we let Dublin win there kick outs ,then blasted ours down the middle to our poor choice of midfielders , k clarke is a full back , corr should have been mid field , 5 of the players that started today has to be dropped for the next game" Clarke is not a full back seanorinn (Cavan) - Posts:3257 - 05/02/2017 22:05:12 1952456 eamonnmac (Cavan) - Posts: 59 - 19/02/2017 22:48:50 1958453 Link

Sean this is what is wrong with this forum - posts like this!! Are you saying that it is now bad manners to call someone by their surname! Give me strength - its senior football not under 12's. I'll leave it there as this is too childish to continue. But this had to be addressed as this forum is going in the wrong direction and these little childish remarks to a new poster dont help anyone. Any news on injuries? Sean? Is Mackey in full training? Reformation (Cavan) - Posts: 357 - 20/02/2017 08:44:02 1958514 Link

Sean, I'm a bit lost as to where you see an issue with that post. How is it in any way offensive to call the a manager by his surname. I can't think of anyone who refers to Cody as Brian or to McGeeney as Kieran. Didn't you yourself refuse to call "Mr Hyland " Terry!!?? Even though he was generally well know to cavan fans and widely known as Terry to the vast majority. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5333 - 20/02/2017 13:32:20 1958667 Link
