Tomsmith here By now we have all heard that probably all Gaa completions will not take place or if they do it will be very limited in nature, I feel that it would be an ideal time for the GAA family to come together via the Phone and arrange a few Divisional teams to be ready to go once the ban is lifted. Sure the selection process would about who would be in and who would be out could be very entertaining . No doubt social media would play a big part in organising this. tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 02/04/2020 08:59:28 2275195 Link

Replying To Tommy1234: "It should be forgotten about Tom as it is nonsense" Tommy 1234... Tomsmith here a staunch longtime supporter of one of Cavans greatest teams. Perhaps Tommy you would reconsider your opposition to Divisional teams in light of what was said away down in Kerry where Divisional teams have been credited with the powerful Kerry teams of the past and present tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 23/06/2020 10:56:25 2281598 Link

The standard may not be as high with our traditional clubs but ultimately it means more players playing the game which can only have a positive effect on football in Cavan.

Tomsmith here I do not agree with you in relation to people playing the game. Take the party men who want to drink and tip toe about at a Sat or Sunday game just for the fun of it. Cavan is going nowhere . We need a compeditate league or Divisional teams that the few fellows from West Cavan can shire Tommy 1234 please dont respond without facts tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 18/09/2020 00:25:21 2292811 Link
Gaa is about promoting gaa games. Divisional teams would mean less playing football. Club football in cavan is losing too many players to other sports we need ideas to get players to keep playing tom84 (Cavan) - Posts: 334 - 18/09/2020 20:30:18 2292952 Link

Tomsmith here When you listen to the Kerry Manager after the League victory and he said that the Good competition in the Kerry Championship the got 4/5 new players that fitted into the senior squad . We have to remember that in the Kerry Championship no weak team exists all weak teams are amalgamated to form an amalgamated strong senior championship team. As one that supports a big club ( Cavan Gaels tops for past 20 years ) I I say to weaker teams amalgamate and give the big clubs a good game . tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 25/10/2020 21:50:47 2301400 Link

Your "great club", when they leave Cavan is a perfect example of all that is wrong with Cavan football. seamusorinn (USA) - Posts: 295 - 26/10/2020 00:36:11 2301446 Link

First 10 years ago I said that west Cavan had let the County team down by not producing good County footballers, There I have been proved wrong.

Tomsmith here I feel that after the championship is over we should gather up a few regional teams ( The best four from each club that is not already on the senior County team . Make up Divisional teams to unearth new talent.. I would say that we would be very unlucky if we dident get 4 or 5 footballers for the County panel tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 31/07/2021 12:03:35 2366041 Link
Tomsmith here Now is the time to gather up a few Divisional teams You could Have Cavan Gaels and a few other to up a Division you could have Kingcourt and a few other Clubs to make a Disision You could have Gowns and a few other Teams made up from surrounding clubs to make Division Your could have Ramour and a few other Clubs to make a Division. That would be 4 Divisions with two games on a Friday / Saturday and Sunday night This is only a suggestion for the Good odf of Cavan Football Surely we will pick up a few new footballers Can anyone improve on my suggestion tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3982 - 21/11/2021 19:53:19 2390222 Link
