long ago there was not much transport around so you usually lived and played where you worked. no excuses now.

Our 2 nd County Final Ever.,, I fear cavan will have another fruitless year.I rem talking to a county selector & asking him on denns chances against castlerahan & going on to the final.he just smirked & did nt even consider an answer how id love to meet him now. Dedication i look at the papers last week & see n walsh collecting an award..As far as im concerned it was the same award that cost us a place in county final. Now this week i see hannon racing a greyhound three weeks before i seen Mackey stripping in a barn somewhere. I ask would you see Eoin Smith Killygarry .martin cahill i don t think so.Like the people should really look at the problem here.The whole county board & management & team are on some Ego Bus to Div 4 in my opinion I think unless walsh has a good senior final he shoul go.I think hannon & fannin is the new ant & dec...... Get some steel into the panel some real men get a bitta passion like the Denn team.Long time i ve been saying mouse is better than mackey frank better than flanagan & Ronoan & mossy better than ciaran galligan & co... Albeit these lads are younger but college kids wont win ulster...

Agree with some of Denn mans points. Eoin Smith, Martin Cahill, Mark McKeever are a must on the starting 15. Eoin McPhilips and Ciaran Mcgovern are also worth a go. Fannin, Mackey, Hannon and P Reilly had had lots of chances and should go.

Just because you put some words in bold letters doesn't make your point better

I would love nothing better than to see our lads leave the county panel and be available for the club all the time. Don't undestand why you are still obsessed with Castlerahan's players I can assure you if Castlerahan were in Denn's position I wouldn't be talking about Denn at this stage.

Sean O Rinn

While some of your points are well grounded some others are way off the mark. I appreciate you do an excellent job looking after the surface in breffni but as you have not played against many of the players you talk about you are not qualified to assess their ability. Obviously some players in the county set up are not up to it mackey, hannon, fannin, brides, walsh and P Reilly to name a few but the alternatives you mention such as Brady and Smith from Lavey are nowhere near the level of the players that have already been tried out. If you play Lavey its not these lads you have to worry about its Stephen Jordan and Joey Jordan. Similarly some lads are calling for minors to be brought in. Minors will make no impact in the Ulster senior championship if they cannot even win a game in the Ulster minor championship.

Denn man you should be on stage .............. Hannon and Fannin the new ant & dec.............. I love it.
I agree with what you say about players that need to be got rid of by the way.

Denn Man you should be on stage..........the new ant & dec.......I love it.
I agree with what you say about lads that need to leave and the lads we need to bring.
Denn Man for selector on county team I say - lets get the ball rolling to get you elected !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why thank you Finea 3... But unlike most posters here i try to keep an open mind to football.Well done Lavey good to see Cootehill competing.We need football in those areas again.Anyway id like everybodys opinion on Denns chances.Was last year a fluke,are the geals gona steam us & win Ulster.Which if they do id sincerely like them to win it if thats the case. Will other clubs go to the game.Will the celt even recognoise us this year.last year was embarrassing the lack of player profile & pre match build up.Also can Denn leave the Ghost writer for the post redfaced

i think denn need to get a little bit of luck if they are to topple the gaels this year..... an early goal or 2 maybe...... great committed team that play with a lot of passion but i just dont think they can outscore the gaels..... sean reilly a big loss as this will probably bring walsh to midfield where mossy will clean up on him....as a gaels supporter i dont want to see us beaten but if it does happen it would'nt be too bad because the denn lads are all good lads.....best of luck to all...

they need to play football this year,15 men behind the ball last year,you'l never win a game like that.

I don't think Denn will beat the Gaels in the final as the Gaels have far too much in the line of good footballing ability to be unsettled by Denn (whatever tactics they employ or whoever they have training them - is it true that they had Jack O Connor and Martin McHugh training them on Sunday morning?) But they may make the most of it, because once they drop down to the lower echelons of Division 2 league football next year, they will not be coming up against the opposition they will be facing in senior championship making their job that much more difficult.

Denn have had loads of differant managers down through the season.Don t know where u heard that from though,maybe??I don t know..

Yeah i hope Denn don t try & curb The Geals in anyway i hope we go out and at least match them in all areas of the field.Pound for pound on the starting 15 of both teams Denn won t be afraid.The Denn bench may not be as packed with talent as opposed to Cavan geals but we never had & copped..

Div 2 is not an option for us Altare.Were not planning on leaving Div1 just yet..

jinky,id say its more about supporters looking for place to park.in mullahoran last week,20 mins before game started,most of the carpark was full on both sides.by the end of the game there was four lines of cars in the carpark and close to 50 cars around the hall and pitch.

Denn Man you may be on a winner there, as I hope you are tomorrow too.

When we won Junior in '03, you won Intermediate, now step it up again, good luck from the other side of Sliabh Glah!!
