Replying To deanmartin:  "Before anyone gets carried away with the normal, future is blue, the Anglo Celt is coming home, Cavan for Sam etc etc - Tyrone have only been back training in the last 2 weeks, their training sessions consisted for 2 Gym Sessions & a few games of Basketball...now compare to Cavan, who have been back in October/November doing 800 meter runs on the Army barracks Football pitch.

So, yes, good to get a win under the belts for the new manager, good to get new blood bedded in - but please, lets wait til until the meaningful games are played before passing judgement.

Yes, Terry brought us to Division 1, took him 5 years to do so - but the ultimate goal of reaching an Ulster Final was a must, and lets face it, he failed miserably. Terry will remembered for his bringing the Black Death to Cavan, which drove hundreds of supporters away from Breffni Park.

As for Jonsmith - still spouting nonsense Jon"
Agree 100% there. Look at the crowd last Sunday. 4700. When did we get that for a McKenna Cup match or a league game this past 5 years?
Supporters will come back in their droves when we start playing football.
And last Sunday was an improvement .
If Mattie gets us to an Ulster final in his first year , something TH failed to do in 5 years as a manager the season will have been a success.

Replying To Awwwwnow:  "Mackey, Martin Reilly , McVitty, were all playing as defenders even though named as forwards. Johnston was actually 70 metres from goal looking for the ball..
Hopefully that will all change now as Mattie wants forwards playing as forwards..
How will the TH brigade cope with such a change???"
What do you think of martin Reilly's position Sunday, not exactly a forward

We had 10,000 at league match v galway last year, where do you get all your false facts, it probably was the biggest crowd at a McKenna match in years , def not league.

Yes I saw it and a red card was the only decision open to the referee. I had the advantage of watching the replay several times and despite Seannie making a meal of it the Tyrone player hit him with his left fist and the only result was a straight RED no question about it. Sorry about that Tyrone supporters but it was a correct call.

Replying To Reformation:  "This was a good start to 2017. Thought we played well with the personnel on show and I would imagine that there will be others involved in 2 weeks. I think that McCutcheon and Argue will play more part next weekend. I was impressed with how we matched up to them physically and I hope that this is the way forward. Gerry Smith looked sharp and showed his man a fresh set of heals a few times. Also liked the look of our back line although Tyrones shooting was poor. McAliskey will be a massive loss for them. Not much sign of defensive systems on show yesterday and I do think it is a thing of the past for us. I cant say I have been at a McKenna cup game in Breffni with that many people before. Good game and always nice to beat Tyrone albeit not too common an occurance. We need to keep the heads down and try to get another win against Donegal (U21's or seniors) next Sunday which will secure a semi final spot and give us a chance to try some others in the final game.

Nobody is getting excited yet and no need to either. A good start to the year and lets move on with our preparation for the league."
a fresh set of heals I think the phrase you are looking for is "A clean pair of heels"

Replying To tenyearplan:  "why do some reviews of the game state that Michael Argue came on and scored 2 points. what's the story there, It was clearly Niall McKiernan.
s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts:4452 - 09/01/2017 14:47:25
Niall Mc Kiernan wore the no. 9 jersey coming on - the number that Argue was on the programme - hence the confusion"
OK Thanks

Don't pretend to speak for anyone apart from yourself Deanmartin. Terry (and his mgmt. team) will be remembered for bringing respectability back to Cavan football. No. we didn't reach an ulster final but were only a whisker away. ulster has been dominated by Donegal,Monaghan and Tyrone of Late . There exceptional teams. It is going to be hard to break that triumvirate.

Dean, Terry is gone, he won't be managing a Cavan team until next year at the very least (the soonest we can hope for)

You need to let your obsession with him go, get out to a few games instead of running that facebook page and enjoy life!

He's been around in one form or another with the seniors for well over 10 years. He needs to give it a good rest now.
He had his chance.
Got us to Div 1. Never beat Tyrone at Senior level. Nor Monaghan.
Got us to Div 1 but that took 5 years.
He needs a good long rest away from Cavan football.
Leitrim.. Carlow... Kilkenny .. London be very glad of his services because the only way they can go is up!!

We beat Monaghan in the league but why worry about facts when you have an agenda.

I think we beat them in the McKenna cup too. maybe open to correction here though. I definitely remember that the season that both Meath and Monaghan got promoted to Div 2 , we beat both of them.

Thanks for that Sean. Its good to have someone in your position to confirm this. I'm glad to know it actually was a red card as the last thing you want going into the league is for Tyrone to have something over Cavan!!! Its annoying now how adamant the Tyrone people were when i asked did they see it.
on a different note, those who want to talk football or have the best interests of the team/ county continue to discuss amongst each other and ignore the negative, slanderous, provocative messages from the other crowd.....
