Sean, it's just fantastic to be in the situation we find ourselves in with three games to go. When the team, 13 changes, took the field against Clare a few short weeks ago, with the backdrop of the Tyrone result and our insipid exit from last year's Championship, who would have believed that we would be indulging in the possibilities of a promotion. kildare blue (Cavan) - Posts: 578 - 28/02/2018 08:30:26 2081153 Link 0 |

In hindsight, his revolution has been helped by our relegation to Division 2. He would not have got away with such wholesale surgery if we were in Division 1. Fortune does favour the brave! i had to smile when listening to McHugh on the radio last Sunday. When asked about the Cavan scenario, he said that he attended the Cavan v Clare game and he though they were both very poor teams and would struggle. Well one of those teams has 7 points on the board and the other has 4 points on the board with three rounds to go. kildare blue (Cavan) - Posts: 470 - 28/02/2018 08:30:26 2081153 Post Reply Yes off course you are spot on relegation was a god send. If McHugh said tomorrow was Thursday I would not listen to him for he for me has not got a clue but there are those think the sun shines from his posterior.

Have to agree with Sean on the state of the pitch, more like the old Terry Coyle pitch than a new development, sand bunkers everywhere.. To put hurlers out on that was a disgrace. In any case, good to get the points and the pints, nice to have something to celebrate. For sure we are facing into significant challenges from Tipp and Ross. never mind the fact that Down were always able to put it up to us no matter what their general form was. Mattie is on a roll now at the right time. His true credentials will be revealed if and when he makes match winning switches/substitutions in the summer. That's the test of a good manager. To be even contemplating promotion with three games remaining is a big surprise to me. ondforty (Cavan) - Posts: 461 - 28/02/2018 12:59:42 2081208 Link 0 |
Well I'm glad 25 players listened to him back in 97.

I've enjoyed the calm and realistic approach on here in relation to promotion chances. Reformation (Cavan) - Posts: 356 - 28/02/2018 14:24:40 2081237 Link 1 |

Tipperary have Louth, Down and Cavan. Roscommon have Clare, Cavan and Cork. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1168 - 28/02/2018 13:49:31 20 Thank you for that information so it's in our own hands as it is with Down Tipperary and Roscommon and also Cork. They cannot relax and think job done if they want promotion however job is done as we are safe in division2 The Quiet Man (Cavan) - Posts: 4601 - 28/02/2018 17:58:45 2081302 Link 0 |
Correct, perhaps if they hadn't been handpassing around in circles we could have won that All Ireland. Was definetly there for the taking,

My word! Just checking out the various county posts on a snow day. Great to see the passion & number of posts by our neighbours. Think promotion inevitable for Cavan & really, really hope that you can stay in Division 1. It's a tough place to be, as you know, but it toughens teams. Best of luck lads - hope to meet ye up here next year! greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 28/02/2018 22:19:54 2081348 Link 0 |

My guess is they will push all the Saturday games to Sunday. By Sunday at 2-3 pm most snow should be gone and frost cleared up. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1485 - 01/03/2018 13:03:00 2081423 Link 0 |

With all the changes over the last few months,you have to hand it to the management team and players to have done as well as they have. Virginia (Cavan) - Posts: 101 - 02/03/2018 11:20:36 2081551 Link 0 |
With all the changes over the last few months,you have to hand it to the management team and players to have done as well as they have. We're safe in Div 2 and promotion would be a bonus. We need to work on the Joe Schmitt theory of building a panel of players working together towards the same goal. Virginia (Cavan) - Posts: 31 - 02/03/2018 11:20:36 2081551 Post Reply Link 0 0 Yes it's brilliant but is this going to be the panel for the championship when it starts. No matter it will be fantastic if we get promotion back to division 1 it will have been a good three months. The Quiet Man (Cavan) - Posts: 4601 - 02/03/2018 15:47:42 2081602 Link 0 |
