Replying To Farneyblueandwhite: "Cavan need to get to an ulster final 1 ulster in 30 years is not the stuff of Kings but unfortunately i dont see it any time soon as its a county in decline a lot of players over 30 and in the twilight of their careers mckiernan clarke mcveety faulkner mcloughlin 2020 was brilliant for cavan but unfortunately don't see another pandemic happening any time soon Tyrone is the challenge for cavan but 1983 is a long long time marty Corey is available might be be able to help out" Did the pandemic happen in every county except Cavan & Tipperary? Although the circumstances were different to other years the Provincial titles were there to be won - Cavan, Tipperary, Dublin & Mayo went out and won them. Nobody else did. opa01 (Cavan) - Posts: 513 - 03/04/2025 11:28:03 2600304 Link

Monaghan are still waiting to win a serious competition- based on the typical Monaghan assessment that Ulster's don't matter any more; perhaps because they aren't able to win one - in any decade. Maybe you can blame the German measles, the tb epidemic of the 1910s or the impact of the Oil Crisis of the 70s!! KingdomofBreifne (Cavan) - Posts: 169 - 06/04/2025 17:01:04 2600774 Link

Same as yourselves. I'd argue your 2 titles is very little to show for your time in Division 1 for a decade Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2466 - 08/04/2025 11:44:03 2601076 Link
Thoughts on Sunday ? Rewatched last year's game in Breffni last night What a brilliant game of football Id forgotten how good it was End to end in the second half and a very decent crowd along the terrace and behind the goal. Hopefully more of the same on Sunday Win midfield and half the unforced errors and I think we will win McLaughlin on D. Canavan Carolan on R. Canavan Cian Reilly on McCurry O'Connell on McShane Fortune on Harte 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 404 - 08/04/2025 13:16:44 2601093 Link

Little doubt that Cavan squad will be looking forward to Omagh. Following the very close game last year, and so for the team it is a great chance to stand tall. From the moment the game was named, it would certainly would have been a target for Ray's team. Tyrone are favourites, with a lot of success at under age, and Errigal Ciarán, along with some big household names. Tyrone were good at stages in the league, but definitely loose, conceded a lot and a mixed bag. Did looked to be flying versus Dubs mind. Certainly have great players upfront, but Cavan have to get the match ups correct. Espiceally in full back line and midfield. The performaces have been mixed, great after a bad start, but low against Cork. Made All Ireland series. Any frees conceded will leave anything available for Morgan, so must watch physical fouls. Cavan have had many a bad beating to Tyrone over the years, but its Ulster, its always a tough game, and the players will be excited. The Sun is shining, the mood is good. Hoping some injuries can make it back as subs, as the new game is a squad game more than ever. The challenge is there! Cavan67 (Cavan) - Posts: 20 - 08/04/2025 19:01:08 2601154 Link

It's giving rain for the weekend probably suit cavan more than Tyrone Farneyblueandwhite (Monaghan) - Posts: 38 - 09/04/2025 12:43:56 2601220 Link
Replying To cavanman47: "Does McShane's foul on O'Rourke look any less a foul on second viewing?" Yeah it was a foul and he had given a fair few soft ones before that A Monaghan man reffing this weekend and from the Cavan Monaghan border no less, however that is allowed to happen 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 404 - 09/04/2025 12:56:34 2601221 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "One has to admire your optimism but it's hard to see our defence being able to cope with the Tyrone attack… Hopefully there is a 100% improvement on our last performance v Cork or this could get very messy…." Tyrone have lost alot of players from 2021, they have just been relegated and were knocked out of the championship by Roscommon in Omagh last year As embarrassing as it is for Monaghan to be celebrating league football, they have a point about us. If it was Monaghan we were playing in Omagh on Sunday we would expect to win and yet because it is Tyrone we are fearful of a hammering Why show so much respect for Tyrone? 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 404 - 09/04/2025 13:01:20 2601222 Link

Common sense and the GAA are words that seemingly go together…!!!! ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3691 - 09/04/2025 17:31:19 2601269 Link
Wouldn't mind the nonsense from FB&W - he's actually one of your own having a good windup going. Doesn't take much to get the teeth showing and he knows it! On the ref, you should have no worries. That man is straight down the middle and will be honest for both sides, guaranteed. I think Cavan have a good chance actually. They were a kick of a ball away from promotion and that would have left ye going in as a Div 1 team for 2026 against a Div 2 team for 2026. I know too league no that relevant (I know), but still there is no gulf between the sides on that metric. Its 1983 since Cavan beat Tyrone in the championship and while there have been a few hidings, how many draws and replays have there been? Picking Cavan to sneak it by 2-3 points by making their greater physicality tell, if they can stay with Tyrone for the first 50.
