Replying To seanorinn: "Some nonsense by inaroundthehouse as usual. If you come in the top 2 you deserve and are good enough for Div 1. Thats the whole idea of a league. Even if we went up and came down again, it is better for the players and GAA community in Cavan as a whole to be playing the best teams, inviting the dubs to town getting a win in Castlebar. Only a fool would turn the opportunity down. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 945 - 20/03/2018 13:53:43 2086236 Post Reply Link 0 0 I agree with you fredflint you can only improve by playing the top division. Cavan V Tip next Sunday at 3PM in Breifni Park" Tipperary should play down first, it puts us at a disadvantage if they don't play down before us. blueman1903 (Cavan) - Posts: 885 - 20/03/2018 14:32:34 2086250 Link

That was proved last Sunday and will be confirmed against Tipp. Sad but unfortunately true . Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 20/03/2018 14:48:21 2086258 Link
Makes sense to play the fixtures as planned. We need to beat Tipp to get promoted. If we cannot beat them there is no point in getting promoted to Div 1. Breffniman1 (Cavan) - Posts: 25 - 20/03/2018 15:37:58 2086282 Link

It's not right but I don't think it'll make a huge difference. If Tipp beat us they go up. If we win we go up. If it's a draw, Tipp will know that a win against down puts them up. If we can't win at home with what's at stake then I don't think we can have any complaints about them getting that advantage. We've known exactly what we need to do since the win against down. You could argue that the fixtures have favoured us in that regard. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5193 - 20/03/2018 16:31:00 2086311 Link
I think It's sensible to go ahead with the round 7 fixtures this weekend. If ourselves and Roscommon win then the league final can go ahead as planned. Of course if we both lose then the Tipp v Down resheduled match may have significence for most of the teams in the division. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5520 - 20/03/2018 17:56:58 2086342 Link
Am sure Tipperary are absolutely delighted to be arriving to Breifne next Sunday nice and rested and not having to make another trip North after a tough game against Down in Newry. Joebe (Cavan) - Posts: 76 - 20/03/2018 19:59:26 2086390 Link

Replying To OhtobeARossie: "Ild be shocked if ye did not beat them to be honest. There good in semple, not so good outside it. If ye stop them scoring goals I cant see Cavan losing." Out of curiosity whats tipp are good in semple and not so good out of there based on? since 2016 we lost to longford away in the league (2016), kerry away munster final (2016), cork away championship (2017). Thats not the worst away record league and championship youll see, weve lost more games in semple in that time. Anyway that really has nothing to do with it, should be a great game sunday and a real 50/50 played as a championship match tipp11 (Tipperary) - Posts: 353 - 20/03/2018 21:43:04 2086449 Link

So to solve all problem beat Tip and let the rest worry about them self's. The Quiet Man (Cavan) - Posts: 4601 - 20/03/2018 22:59:28 2086476 Link

As you say a 50/50 game. The goals seem to have dried up for us recently. We need to start scoring goals again. A few players need to get the head. up s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5520 - 20/03/2018 23:00:19 2086477 Link

Goals haven't been a problem for us to come by this year but this will be a real test in that regard, Cavan have only conceded two so it would seem are well drilled and organised in preventing goals. It's great to be looking forward to what's virtually a championship match in March! tipp11 (Tipperary) - Posts: 353 - 21/03/2018 07:10:52 2086505 Link
Sunday was a small blip, I think we will learn a few lessons from this defeat - this Cavan Team is heading up to Division One and I have no doubt with the football we are playing at the moment, we will be competitive. Do not be surprised if Cork beat Roscommon on Sunday. I'm also quietly confident of causing an upset in the Championship and beating Donegal, however, its very hard to see past Tyrone in a Ulster Final, they are hitting their peak, totally demolished Mayo on Sunday. All in all, Mattie's 2nd full season in charge and it looks positive, he's putting his own print on this team, remaining in Division 2 wouldnt be a bad thing, but I'm confident of taking Tipperary on Sunday. Future is blue....the black death is gone forever... cavanblueman (Cavan) - Posts: 636 - 21/03/2018 15:05:58 2086642 Link

Great to see players being allowed to express themselves by a manager who seems to know what he's doing even though he only in his 2nd year. I'm not convinced we are good enough for Div 1 yet but we are playing better more attractive football. Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 21/03/2018 17:40:21 2086713 Link
The Black Death entered Cavan football the year after Eamon Coleman and didn't leave until Terry took over, dark ,barren years flirting with Division 4 and out of championship by late June, pride is back!!! ramor101 (Cavan) - Posts: 289 - 21/03/2018 20:33:20 2086770 Link

Wrong...the Black Death was created by Terry...he ruined some good footballers with his tactics, and moreso, the attendances in Breffni Park were at a record low during his tenure. cavanblueman (Cavan) - Posts: 636 - 22/03/2018 10:54:58 2086896 Link

Give Mattie 5 years and see what we win and where he leaves us then. We had posters here calling for his head at the start of the league campaign. He's got us playing football. It's no big crime if we don't get promotion. We are well capable of beating Donegal, a team that could end up in Div 2 next year .That would be a bigger boost for Cavan football than winning promotion and coming straight back down next year. The Black Death days of slow laboured lateral defensive tripe are well and truly over! Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 22/03/2018 11:24:01 2086903 Link
