                     Replying To tomsmith:  "Canan blue  and  white   and  Breffni  Blue With the standard of club football so low in Cavan at present one can only assume the Gaels are now completely useless seeing they couldn't even make the county Final….
 I have to take issue  with Declankillen and  Breffni Park  about   Cavan Gaels  being  a hindrance to Football in Cavan. I must say  that the reason that the Gaels  did  not  do well outside of  Cavan in the past 20  years  was because of  the poor  standard of opposition that the Gaels  had  within Cavan.  The  poor  Gaels  players  were  playing junior standard the Gaels  won  many games at ease  and  when they went out in Ulster faced  the  first real test. So  dont blame  the Gaels
 blame poor  opposition within Cavan......."

I wouldn't be getting to over excited about it to be honest

 I have  to say that  the Gaels have been unsarcastically  weak this  year. But one has  to look at  the Gaels  club  or  indeed  Cavan Town who  have  all sorts  of problems hoisted  upon them. The  Gaels  have  done  wonderfull work in  a Social capacity ( Look what the Club did  during the lockdown ) for the now residents . I feel that the Gaels  are the  best  Club in the past 20  years  and will be  for  the next  20  years

 I have respect for junior posters who ask questions that are irrelevant, but I consider your  question well intended.
 That  question.. Why  the  arbitrary 20  years.
 Well  I can tell you that  when that was posted it was an   anniversary between  my self  and  the great Mrs T  who  I am so so proud off

                    Forever Blue  and Blueman ( Combined posts  arout 2000,Both of you are negative.
 I recall when the Gaels  played  junior  football  and  everyone looked  up to the Bi  Town team playing Junior Football,
 A small local Parish like  Den are doing fantastic  work promoting the game  and indeed  had  some  good  quality plaers in the past. I thinking of  Paddy Gaffney . A classical  Den players .
 So keep up the good  work  and dontlet any of  your  stra players  be looking to transfer  to the Gaels

                     Replying To Longfordgaamad:  "I am not from Cavan but do know Cavan fairly well. I agree with some of your points but the say Cavan town is within 2/3 miles from Butlers Bridge, Ballyhaise, Denn and Bellanagh, is crazy.  Butlers Bridge 11Km, Ballyhaise 12km, Denn 10km and Bellanagh 9km from Cavan town centre. Replying to Longford  Gaa  mad of  12 postsBut I don't agree with splitting clubs, its a cop out for teams who cant get to the same level. And even for people to say Gaels aren't Cavan's greatest because they haven't won Ulster is also crazy. You are calling them Cavan's greatest not Ulster's Greatest. They have won 10 in the last 20 years I think. no 1 else have won more that 2 so its a no brainer that in the last 20 years Cavan Gaels are Cavan's best team but ya cant be surprised that your rivals find that hard to accept."
 
 Tomsmith here   a senior poster who supports  Cavans  best  team in the past 20  years ie  Cavan Gaels
 
 Lonford  Gaa  Mad.. You make  a  lot of sense with nthis  post as  a poster  who has  posted only 12 posts under this handle ( many more elsewhere) you are right on the money when you say that   and I quote you verbatim.....for people to say that the Gaels arent Cavans  greatest Club  because the havent won Ulster  is  also crazy ..... so Tomsmith back live to you again I say we  yes  we the Cavan Gaels  Club is  Cavans  fin est in the past 20 years
