Replying To cavanblueman: "David Gough made a statement on Monday - at no stage was he made aware by the Tyrone officials that there was an issue with pitch, so he arrived as per normal to referee the game. As for groundsmen making decisions on pitches, totally agree, they know the pitches inside out - sure didn't Terry Hyland once use the excuse that there no bounce on the Breffni Park pitch, and Sean O Rinn quickly corrected him. Then you have representatives of the Cavan Co Board complaining about the Tyrone match being called off, when they did the same for last years County Final, an hour before it was due to start."

This rain continued up to Tuesday evening also. The Quiet Man (Cavan) - Posts: 4602 - 02/03/2017 14:25:16 1962822 Link

The referee was talking to RTE Radio 1 Sunday and siad he was aware and had sent a referee that was doing Donegal game to call into Healy Park. He got pics of it and was aware of issue and still only arrived hour before hand. No regard for travelling Cavan fans. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 02/03/2017 16:33:03 1962877 Link
Would you not find it strange that the Tyrone Team never turned up at Healy Park? They obviously had gathered more intelligence and updates on the pitch condition during the morning. You would think that the Tyrone Co. Secretary would have at least contacted the Cavan Co. Secretary. Cavan Team, Management arrived!! Doesn't say much on how Tyrone treated one of their own ex-players!!! Mattie!!! Had the Ulster Fry on the way up to the game!!! it was about 7 miles outside Omagh.

Would be worried about Donegal game. We struggled with them in McKenna cup-granted it was different players but style will be similar. its important to stop their running game-murphy and mc hugh the men to stop. id put faulkner on murphy, mc veety on ryan mcchugh kanu (Cavan) - Posts: 181 - 02/03/2017 21:31:38 1962973 Link

I'd be surprised if Martin Reilly isn't asked to mark Mc Hugh. Killian Clarke on Murphy and Faulkner on mcbrearty. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1485 - 02/03/2017 22:29:44 1963000 Link
someone just needs to lie on McBrearty's left foot. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5524 - 03/03/2017 11:03:27 1963098 Link
Replying To fredflint: "I'd be surprised if Martin Reilly isn't asked to mark Mc Hugh. Killian Clarke on Murphy and Faulkner on mcbrearty." Do you mean mark mark mchugh or ryan. He cant mark mark as mark wont be playing. Ah, forget it... Reformation (Cavan) - Posts: 357 - 03/03/2017 12:07:45 1963130 Link

There must be a fair chance the game will be called off if it continues raining up to Saturday night. I saw a forecast which had a lot of rain on Saturday afternoon. When would we fit in a 2nd rescheduled game. eamonnmac (Cavan) - Posts: 59 - 03/03/2017 12:23:31 1963140 Link

could the game be switched to the 3G pitch if the main pitch is waterlogged. how would that work out for spectators/tickets sold etc etc. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5524 - 03/03/2017 13:58:33 1963169 Link
Replying To s goldrick: "could the game be switched to the 3G pitch if the main pitch is waterlogged. how would that work out for spectators/tickets sold etc etc." It wouldn't be switched. Neither team would agree plus it could not hold the crowd kupa (Monaghan) - Posts: 281 - 03/03/2017 14:30:52 1963184 Link
Replying To kupa: "It wouldn't be switched. Neither team would agree plus it could not hold the crowd" Inspection at 12.30 tomorrow. RHF (Cavan) - Posts: 892 - 03/03/2017 15:58:32 1963219 Link
Replying To kupa: "It wouldn't be switched. Neither team would agree plus it could not hold the crowd" a wet miserable night is forecast and a dour game in prospect. I don't think crowd issues will be a concern. There's no problem if it has to be rescheduled. The club league can be pushed back even further as it's not important.

If the game is to be called off, i'd expect it to be an early one as referee has to travel up from Cork. cavanblueman (Cavan) - Posts: 636 - 03/03/2017 16:43:06 1963237 Link

There's no way the match will be played in Breffni. It's absolutely lashing down in Cavan town all day and even more expected tomorrow. I wonder will it be switched to Kingscourt? Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 03/03/2017 18:52:07 1963269 Link
Lets hope the game falls by the wayside early in the morning, it would only be a lottery at this stage. kildare blue (Cavan) - Posts: 578 - 03/03/2017 19:12:57 1963281 Link
