The U21 Championship (now u20) was never treated with much respect by the GAA top brass… even County boards all over the country treat it with contempt…. Putting games on at all times and issuing a "play or concede " attitude to games if they clashed with a senior fixture… It wouldn't be a grade that many counties would see as important to gain titles at…rather using it to develop players for senior level… I think the Cavan /Galway final might have been the only one played in Croke park as a curtain raiser to that season's Hurling league Final… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3057 - 11/04/2022 16:35:04 2410563 Link 0 |
Sweet Jesus. Only a "cavan fan" (term used extremely loosely) could come up with this about our record breaking 4 in a row, our first titles at that grade in 15 years which did produce the players that brought Cavan from a team hanging at the bottom of Div3, to Div1 and eventually Ulster Champions. How perverse so you have to be to think like this.

I've been saying it about this fella for a while, never a decent word from him

But you did give out about it though, and then gave put about our 4 in a row Ulster's. It's just telling that the first thing you start going on about is style of play, and a generally negative post, when you haven't even seen them. It's like you've made your mind up already and you've your argument set to it already. Why not wait until you actually see them, then say some constructive? But it's par for the course with you to be negative, and it's all the more laughable when you haven't even seen the lads play. Come on now...

Again I have to say …. I hope this team have a better way of playing football than the senior team… I am not giving out about them as I have not seen them playing yet… don't be putting words in my mouth to suit your own agenda… Do you honestly think that the current way the senior team is set up and play the game is the way forward for Cavan football…. It's a simple yes/no answer… I haven't come across any supporter who is happy with it… are you …?

I think you need to go back an reread your post from the other morning, and the follow up yesterday to see what you actually said. And no, I'm not fully happy. If anything, I'm very annoyed, as at times in the last few years we've shown we can setup and play a very nice brand of football. We've done it in 10 minute spurts here and there, but nowhere close to the likes of 50 or so minutes for what it takes to put in a big performance and win big games. That's what annoys me. The optimist in me is hoping that we can let loose a bit in Championship, as we have shown at times we can play really good football when we want to.

Anyway, you're moving very far away from what this thread is for. Lets keep the Senior team talk to their thread. mad we're in a final, and you're in here poisoning the good feeling with your chat when you've not even seen them.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "RHF…. Again like the other lad you are missing the point…. I never gave out about their style of play as I have not seen them in action yet… I was simply saying that I hope their way of playing football is better than what is going on at senior level… If they are being coached to play a slow lateral passing game like the seniors then it's a waste of time.. If that's too hard to understand then I pity your level of intelligence…!!!" RHF (Cavan) - Posts: 878 - 12/04/2022 11:55:49 2410642 Link 0 |
I can understand your annoyance but I think this type of football is now ingrained in the Cavan set up and it's very hard to change that…. You are right they can play quick forward moving football but it a rarity and they too often return to type… My worry would be if this team was doing the same thing… And please let me point out that I am not blaming the players at any time in this as it must be not very enjoyable playing that way… I have not seen the U20 team playing but I look forward to their Ulster final tussle with Tyrone and will give my honest view then…. I hope they go out and go at Tyrone and see where it takes them… by all accounts they have some very good players so hopefully management will let them express themselves….

I have more interest than you have that's for sure… Do you know anything about football at all or are you one of these know all blow ins… probably a rugby head…

What's wrong with rugby?

Lads it's probably best not to engage. This lad clearly wants to be a talking point and every thread will go the same way, win lose or draw.

Or he/she has and is on the wind-up. I thought it was just a miserable begrudger but the was this thread has gone, I'm getting more of a feeling that it's just a WUM. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5200 - 13/04/2022 12:18:07 2410821 Link 0 |
I didn't watch it back…. to be honest I didn't know you could watch it back…. I was talking to a few people who say it on the night and said it was very defensive… not all Cavan of course but I think I won't waste an hour or so looking at it if what they said is anything to go by…. The Final will show where we are at…

Ah thats fair enough, dont watch it back to make educated comment on the game just assume you know what happened and make ill informed statements about it instead. Thats very reasonable alright.

Wouldn't be hard to know as much as you….you don't have to be stupid enough to pay good money in to know that the type of football most teams are playing is total rubbish… You might not be intelligent enough yet to spot that but the penny will drop with you at some stage…maybe…
