Replying To The Quiet Man: "Read the post before you make a fool of yourself. I know some are not on the panel but on performances they deserve a chance." What has Gumley from Ballinagh done to deserve a place on the Cavan starting 15? CavanAgain (Cavan) - Posts: 196 - 30/10/2020 15:56:32 2303117 Link
Will we ever again see a Cavan HS thread that doesn't descend into muck? Jaysis... Oisisn McConville backing Cavan in the media this week, the rest giving it the same old line. It is on. MadgeKing (Cavan) - Posts: 493 - 30/10/2020 17:25:28 2303143 Link
Cavan can win if the ball is kicked directly forward from turnovers - no soloing out of defence it only gives the opposition backs time to get organised. This applies particularly to martin reilly. Martin please no soloing get the ball forward immediately. Declan killann declankillann (Dublin) - Posts: 83 - 30/10/2020 19:47:23 2303169 Link
Replying To CavanAgain: "What has Gumley from Ballinagh done to deserve a place on the Cavan starting 15?" He gave a man of the match performance in the County Final and showed a lot of his old skills are still there. A forward who knows how to score.

Replying To The Quiet Man: "He gave a man of the match performance in the County Final and showed a lot of his old skills are still there. A forward who knows how to score." Are you talking about Gumley or Niall McDermott? Gulley played in 2013 Senior final and didn't score. BreffniGuide (Cavan) - Posts: 474 - 31/10/2020 06:44:01 2303236 Link
Brilliant stuff, some game,listened to it on Radio, what a finish!! Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3047 - 31/10/2020 15:39:53 2303356 Link
Well now, how about that for a performance, absolutely brilliant, well done to team and management, some change in the space of a week. Huntertj (Cavan) - Posts: 2 - 31/10/2020 15:50:19 2303372 Link
Beautiful. Just beautiful. What a game! That was some battle but we showed incredible heart and resilience to come through that. I wasn't at all confident of our chances coming into this match but fair play to the lads, great result. TheBlackDeath (Cavan) - Posts: 74 - 31/10/2020 15:56:28 2303383 Link
What a result! Fair play to them! They deserve all the credit! Gumley was unbelievable and was the difference... Benjy1000 (Cavan) - Posts: 85 - 31/10/2020 16:06:30 2303395 Link
Take a bow! Excellent stuff. Where is the begrudger (caretaker) who was ran from around breffni who keeps knocking the team! theham (Cavan) - Posts: 91 - 31/10/2020 16:14:17 2303402 Link
Have a look at the Monaghan forum page it's priceless. Never gracious in victory and certainly not in defeat. A real problem with the Cavan monkey on their back. offtheditch (Cavan) - Posts: 163 - 31/10/2020 16:16:33 2303406 Link
Well done lads, credit where it is due. A great benchmark for the championship and what the straight knockout can bring. Onwards to the Ulster final now and do Donegal or Tyrone, this Cavan team on their day can go far. Young_gael (Meath) - Posts: 596 - 31/10/2020 16:23:18 2303409 Link

Outstanding. Mickey and the lads show us that we shouldnt have doubted them. Fair play an magnificent victory given all the problems we have had this year. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1485 - 31/10/2020 17:02:23 2303434 Link
Great win didn't see it coming tom84 (Cavan) - Posts: 334 - 31/10/2020 17:23:24 2303454 Link
Wow. What a sweet sweet win that was. Plenty of bad mixed in with the good, but that's for another day. Tonight we can savour a battling display i wasn't sure this group of players had in them. They've silenced some doubters today no question. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5200 - 31/10/2020 17:44:14 2303469 Link
Replying To tom84: "Great win didn't see it coming" Didn't see it coming either. Really week done all. Something to look forward to now. Don't you just love the GAA! ondforty (Cavan) - Posts: 461 - 31/10/2020 17:44:16 2303470 Link
I am intensely proud to be a Cavan man today. One minute they have us despondent, the next euphoric. You can't say being a Cavan fan these past few years hasn't been eventful. We have a real chance of making the final again, without getting too carried away. Well done lads. Any day you dump that lot out of Ulster is a good one.

Replying To MadgeKing: "Well said. Can we keep the discussion to the big game which is throwing in about 50 hours from now. I must say, I had written off any interest in the championship but the closer it gets the more I am getting that sick feeling in the gut. The more I think about it the more hopeful I am becoming. That is not good! Reasons for optimism Midfield- this is they key one. if Thomas Galligan starts I think we have the clear edge. Meath wiped the floor with Monaghan the last day and they have very few real options. Niall Kearns would tip the scales in the other direction but he is going to miss out. James Smith adds to the advantage for sure Gearoid- he is due a big game. maybe not from midfield though. If he can get 3-4 points from half forward we are moving towards win Fitness- Cavan were stuck to the ground early on against Roscommon but still finished stronger. i am taking that as an indication of training schedule not lack of conditioning Killian Clarke- lesson learned the last day, he is not ready. Best not to learn that against McManus Scoring rate- referred to on the podcast how many chances the team are creating. Increase conversion by a few percentage points and it moves the scoring up significantly. Some days they just go over. Saturday maybe? Monaghan's back line- unusually leaky of late. They are missing the big presence of Corey, Walsh and Mone. Drew Wylie has gone missing. Strange to say but they have not got that much cover defensively looking at their bench for the last 2 games Stop McManus, stop Monaghan. We have heard a lot about the players coming through- Hanlon, McCarthy, Woods etc but they have not delivered big scores in any game. Cavan's defence knows what it has to do. The X factor- Cavan's route to victory is unknown outside the panel. Stephen Smith, James Smith, Pierson, Cormac O'Reilly, Conor Smith. We know the quality of these lads and any one of them can make their name in 2 days time. That's a big contrast to the 'McManus plus 14' team facing us. Tactical awareness- Mickey Graham has been struggling with circumstance but he has that innate football brain. I would back him to be able to prep a plan for the lesser team on paper. Seamus McEnaney has won nothing of note in a long career and seems to be reliant on being able to get a mercenary group of advisers in place. He also seems to panic in response to second half changes in momentum, with poor sub decisions made. Cavan have been finishing games well and can exploit that. Discipline- most of Cavan's red card merchants have departed the scene. Monaghan have a few lads who regularly get the line when it matters. Ciaran Brannigan has history with a few of them so Cavan should ramp up the pressure from the off. Slow starters v poor finishers is what we have. If Cavan can be within 3 to 5 points at half time then I think they will win the game." Kudos for this post madgeking for some good analysis which turned out to be quite accurate bar piece on killian clarke who was excellent. Displayed great maturity as a team to put on that performance after which was a difficult result to take last weekend. Patience, bravery, teamwork and belief key characteristic shown in that performance and massive credit to the panel and management involved. Let's all row in behind now for next weeks game against a potentially tricky antrim side Bluehead (Cavan) - Posts: 8 - 31/10/2020 18:01:34 2303487 Link
