again politics will determine who gets this job.... its not about what you know its about who you know ! We need an outside manager who has no bias towards any players and is starting with a clean slate. I hear Justin McNulty is with Castlerahan , maybe he has one eye on the job ??? Cavan, like my naitve Cork is now at a crossroads and if they dont get the right man in they may aswell turn and head back down the road we came. A new manager and a few young players is what Cavan needs to get to the next level.

Yes off course Ned_stormcrow anyone can apply for the job of county senior manager's job, it however should not be down to what they might have done in football or what they are doing today. Two names mentioned above I am not sure they can even apply for the job because of what they do all ready.
I have to say names that are being bantered about by many on here tells me they don't have a clue about the game the selection of players and their ability to make constructive calls during a game. The mind boggles I have to be honest with you listening to individuals about this game that was once a pleasure to watch and one gets the answer as to why we will be going no place fast, I hope the person that do get the job will put friendship behind him with his team and pick our best players. Watching players over the last two weeks and one would wonder why certain individuals are NOT on the current county panel . ????"

I have no intentions of naming any players for it only gives a few on here an excuse to confront me in particular. If you have been at the matches just in Breifni you will have seen them for yourself without me naming one. I am sure who ever is going to be the new manager is all ready watching but I can tell you the person everyone is talking about has not been at any this weekend or last weekend in Breifni Park.

You have that wrong "Awnow" despite the fact I look after the park I am a fully paid up member of Club Breifni so get your facts right before you put something down in writing. You will see that I do in fact PAYto watch matches.

At this stage surely who know which posters to engage with on here and which ones to flat out ignore.

I said it about half way through the year - I don't think there is a huge pool of talent on the Cavan club scene and I don't think there are many players capably of dramatically improving the Cavan team who have not been given a chance.

You don't necessarily need to give a name, but give me a yes/no answer to this question:

Do you believe there is any player in Cavan, not currently on the county panel (or not on it in the past 3 years), who could consistently his 5 or 6 points at intercounty level week-in, week-out?

To score 5 or 6 points a week at intercounty level would translate to hitting about 10 points a week at club level. Yes some players might do that from time to time for their club but it will be against a poor team. There are not many county teams in the country who have a forward scoring 6 points week in week out. You have the likes of Brogan, McManus, C O Connor & a few others. Do you count free taking in this 5 or 6 points etc ? M Murphy has only averaged a point a game from play for the last 2 years. So i think you know yourself we definitely don't have a player capable of achieving that goal. And the majority of players have been tried & tested.

Replying To deanmartin:  "For the record...Nearly 5 years in charge of the Cavan Senior Football Team, and all he won was TWO Ulster Senior Championship matches.

Yes, two league promotions, but no silverware, and in reality, who really takes the league that seriously? Majority of teams use the league for bedding in new players or looking at prospective players, whilst Terry had a full strength squad to chose from.

In essence, his tenure was a failure, given his failings in Ulster and the Qualifiers. He got it wrong far too often in the big matches."
3 ulster championship victories actually.

Yes I do they may well have been fringe players over the last few years but YES they are out there. I have not seen all the senior or intermediate teams yet also junior but so far YES and I hope they get a fair chance to impress. I am not taking notes of players like I used to down through the years but I do tick them as players to watch. Ramor have some fabulous young lads from what I can see to name just one senior team. To name another Lacken came out this weekend and played a completely different game and it was good to watch, the best point I have seen and had the pleasure of watching was scored by well known Lacken player. For the gaels supporters on here was Johnston injured if yes I can understand why he only came on for the last couple of minuets but if not he made a difference when he did but as usual a substitution way too late. Did you see the Redhills team play well if not try and get a chance some cracking players there also.

Seanorinn...you just defeated your own argument. Lacken came out and beat the Gaels, they raised their game because it was the Gaels, why didn't they turn up the week before against Cootehill? Its all about consistency, being able to do it week in/week out, and there's very few out there that can do that.
But I dont blame players, I blame the Co Board, how can players be consistent, when they have to wait 60 odd days for their next league match? Cavan have won nothing since 1997, the current system of postpning club league matches is not working and despite arguments, its not helping the County Team. The Cavan Panel come together every October/November and after a few weeks, the panel is closed with no new blood being added until the following year. If club games were regular, then its likely that players getting consistent football will start to show form, and could be brought into the panel during the year. Take Tyrone for example, they used the league to try out new players, they had 7/8 of the U21 team involved in the league, whereas Cavan's panel was closed and no new players were tried out.

Yes thanks you for that, first man in last man leaving no one sees this side of me. Tough going this weekend I can tell you but we will survive.

Take Tyrone for example, they used the league to try out new players, they had 7/8 of the U21 team involved in the league, whereas Cavan's panel was closed and no new players were tried out."]deanmartin (Cavan) - Posts:631 - 16/08/2016 09:17:11 1901597

Deano, I had nothing better to do yesterday so I had a look at the players used this year. Cavan used 27 different players during the league. They used a further 13 different players during the mckenna cup. I haven't counted the championship where mcenroe and g smith can be added. So we are somewhere in the early to mid 40's. Not bad for a closed panel.. any new manager will pick from the same bunch..

my understanding of what happened was... (a little bit of a summary)
the teams starting the opening 2 games (which we lost) was changed.....then we started winning.... then for champ we reverted to the early team and looked Div 3 again

My point being, if the ACFL is ran properly, in tandem with the national league, there is a very good chance of finding form players and drafting them into the County Panel.

Seanorinn...excellent job done in Breffni, its immaculate, one of the best in the Country, and a ground that I graced for many a year, but tell me, how did you ever fix that 'bounce' problem that Terry kept using as an excuse anytime we were beaten in 2015.

Thank you deanmartin but in fairness it was not used as an excuse by Mr Hyland. I think the so called no bounce was a figment of their imagination and if my memory serves me right it was one the the Northern Sound commentators made that comment and not the players, I stand corrected. You might remember the next match the ball bounced over our goalkeeper Gillsennan and he is well over 6'. We have at this moment in time one of the best surfaces in the country but that will not last with all the matches that are being played on it at the moment. Weekend before last 9 matches plus a full session of go games on it saturday morning last week end 9 matches plus go games again and it's the same this weekend so a busy time but the pitch is suffering as a result and it's only natural with all that traffic.

I think it will be from within the county. And from the '97 team. Peter, Ciaran Brady or McCabe.

Time will tell. I've been scared by the poor standard of games i've seen in the senior championship. This is a critical appointment!
