The following is an alternative team to that put out on Saturday. The only two untouchables are James Reilly and Seanie Johnston the rest could be replaced. (Please remember I'm not saying that they all should). Now I am fully aware that there is injury and attitude problems with some mentioned below and some are not available but is there anyone else that could be considered. Surely we are not making best use of all the talent in the county
James Reilly
Oisin Mimnagh Darren Rabbitte Martin Cahill
Barry Watters Barry Kelly Anton Reilly
Trevor Crowe Sean Maguire
Michael Lyng Mark McKeever Seanie Johnston
Gerard Pierson Dermot McCabe Barry Cunningham
Subs:
Fergal Slowey
Mark Brady
John McCabe
Cork (Castlerahan)
McEnroe (Ramor)
Barry Corrigan
Ryan McCormack
Alan Clarke
Sean McCormack
Smith (Cuchullains)

Crowe,McKeever and McCabe are gone and don't want to come back.
I like the look of Smith,Minagh,Kelly and Cahill in there though.

Carr hasnt been at Championship games so he probably doesn't even know who these players are.

Tommy Carr was in fact at championship games. He was definitely in Breffni for the gaels mullahoran match and again for the gowna cuhullains and ballyhaise killeshandra match. Heard he was at the killygarry denn and lavey drumalee matches too. Thats 5 games in one weekend at least, dont think you can accuse him of not seeing club matches.

is conor smith playing any decent football these days?i remember a few years back he looked like he would step up to senior grade quickly(though hes still only about 20 or 21 i think) maybe he tried beef up too much and lost the lightning pace he had?I know i had to mark him 4 or 5 different times

i wouldnt have james rielly in goals again if all hes goin to do is kick balls towards our midfielders who cant catch a thing!!! he should look for the short option into space!!! as for mckiernan at midfield wat are ya thinkin he wz roasted at the armagh u21 game,, i'd have david givney at 14 with jelly an pierson in the corners

Eh, Mc Kiernan has a broken leg.

connor smith hes good...not a shade off the player he was but certainly better then martin reilly! What you fellas think off ado cole from ramor....any chance of him getting a run with the county

Jinky, he did play some short kickouts in the second half and nothing came of them either. He can only play short kickouts if a half back is alert and looking for the ball and there wasnt enough of that. Brides was always loose I will admit but his distribution was shocking.

Also James is the best shot stopper we have and thats his first responsibility

Jinkey15, There was plenty of short passing from the goalkeeper last Sat night. Were you not at the game ? What happened then is that after a bit of tipping and tapping and running into opposition forwards we again kept losing the ball. Flanagan got several short kick-outs but ran straight into trouble and gave it away !!

james reilly tryed to play short kick out in the whole of the second half, flanagan was free nearly all the time but he had his back towards james, he just didnt seem intrested

paulie (Cavan) - Posts: 44 - 03/07/2009 14:26:34    331113

Good suggestion Jinky, drop one of the best keepers in the country,,U must be top of your class at school with ideas like that.

Who do you propose should play in goals? Fintan Reilly is nowhere near good enough

i have more sense than tellin a lad kick it as far away from him as possible only to get kicked rite back in again!!! and if your talkin about the shot he stopped in the game well it wz kicked straight at him!!

jinky15 (Cavan) - Posts: 271 - 04/07/2009 01:01:58    331697

drop james reilly?are you well in the head?who would we bring in?fintan?how many goals has he let in this year compared to james?youd prefare to see beter kickouts than no goals?he got a nomination for an all-star last year.did he get that for bad kickouts and saving shots that are kicked at him?start talking some sense.

Is it just me or why those everyone select Hannon, never seen him play a good game.. also Pauric Reilly is way of the pace for county level in my opinion.. these players will never turn posession over for the team.. they always rely on a breaking ball or luck , will never breaking down an attack for us.

agree with john 76 but in fairness its not just them 2 who are poor the whole defence is bad.
