Don't think 1 point can keep us up but 1 win can provided Mayo lose their last 2.. Away to Tyrone next week and at home to Donegal is no gimmie either. It would be great to get another year in Div 1 we would learn so much from the experience. Great result hopefully do wonders for players and management confidence .

I thought that teams level on points would go to head to head and we have obviously beaten Mayo. But I may be wrong / heard that from someone in Castlebar. Anyway, im not sure that they will lose both games but would be nice to have a chance of survival heading down to the Hyde!

You are correct.... if Mayo loose their last 2 games and we pick up 1pt from our last 2 Mayo would go down on the head to head with both teams on 4pts... Let's just win our last 2 games and make sure of it....

Correct me if I'm wrong but 1 more point would put us ahead of Mayo on the head to head rule. That said I don't think Mayo will lose their next 2. I really think we need to get something against Kerry to stay up. That's a decent Mayo team despite what people say.

A point will keep us up if mayo lose their last 2. It goes on head to head if 2 (and not more than 2) teams finish on 4 points. But surely Dublin will beat roscommon with that unbeaten record at stake and points needed to make the final. Leaving ros with only pride to play for in the final game. So we should get more than the 1 point. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5198 - 20/03/2017 19:19:32 1969263 Link 0 |
Of course we want to stay up. No question. But even mattie said before the match yesterday that this was a chance for lads to put their hand up for inclusion in the first round of ulster. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5198 - 20/03/2017 19:25:11 1969267 Link 0 |
Loads of permutations but let's just think positive we need 3 from 4 to stay up it's that simple, no point in winning next Sunday Mayo losing and then to lose to Roscommon and for Mayo to win their last match so to keep it in our hands we have to try and win both matches and hope Mayo drop at least two points better if they lose both matches and Cavan if they lose next Sunday beat Roscommon. Anyway the best of luck and forget Ulster until the league is over. By the way the Ulster championship is not easy to win so don't raise your target too high for now one match at a time. They know what they have to do. ??

People thinking that we will beat Roscommon easily in Hyde Park need only look at our previous results in important matches against them. They have the hex on us when it matters. Hopefully it will come down to the last match anyway and maybe this time we will beat them in a big game BUT don't get carried away lads.

yes Roscommon have been our bogey team over the last few years so i wouldn't be counting any chickens . the liklyhood is that Mayo Will get sometinng from their 2 remaining games, so we need to win both ours. A tall order indeed. Does anyone know when we last beat Kerry ?? s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5520 - 20/03/2017 22:22:59 1969325 Link 0 |
Great Performance , Result and spirit on sunday. Sitting among the Mayo faithful they were surprised at the turn around , as i was myself. It is a long time since we beat one of the top teams in League or Championship. Gearoid was back to his best and mc vitty , M reilly were great ,very importantly Madden and Joe Dillon are giving us new forward options as real forwards. More good performances and a bit of luck required to stay up ,i certainly would'nt be underestimating the wounded animal that Roscommon will be after the Kerry game.Good to see the players have a return for all their effort , regards to them and Mr mc Gleenan. eamonnmac (Cavan) - Posts: 59 - 20/03/2017 22:35:13 1969330 Link 0 |
Folks, we are still strong favourites for the drop back to Division 2. What I want over the next two games are performances on a par with last Sunday. If we can at least play the games on their respective merits and not be spooked by the colour of the jersey or certain players I will be happy. In the unlikely even that we win the two games we could still be relegated on 7 points, so it is still very much out of our hands. kildare blue (Cavan) - Posts: 578 - 21/03/2017 06:48:49 1969362 Link 0 |
we cant be relegated on 7 points. To do that requires that we beat Kerry. That means they can only get to 7 also. Head to head would relegate them.

If we got 7 points and so did Kerry and Mayo then it's score difference rather than head to head. Only head to head if two teams on same points, score difference if 3 or more. So we could be relegated on 7.

We reverted to Terry Hylands style of play for the first 25 mins, and it bloody awful, hitting the opposition 45m line and turning back. It was when we reverted to Mattie McGleenons style of quick attacking football that things started looking up.

Ah here, did you not see Dublin running down the clock in the exact same manner in Breffni against us? Its part of the game. I'd rather play down the clock and ensure the win than be the purists and risk losing the game. Dora - i think you may be right about the score difference if 3 teams are level on points. 2 wins please lads! Reformation (Cavan) - Posts: 356 - 21/03/2017 12:19:26 1969444 Link 0 |
Been in both a league division 1 final and an ulster final since 97 (losing both to tyrone) as well as an all ireland quarter final. Not sure this is bigger. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5198 - 21/03/2017 12:23:31 1969446 Link 0 |

This is our chance to stay and play against the best in the country next year. Remember if this were to happen the players will feed from it going forward.

The quarter final was a great achievement but realistically that was as far as that adventure was going to go and in 2002 league final we were pretty much an established division 1 team (I was only 12 at the time so i could be wrong)...... however I appreciate that they were coming of the back of a ulster final appearance. theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 21/03/2017 15:47:22 1969558 Link 0 |
I was impressed with how we held ball for last three minutes in injury time and ran clock down. And an Ulster final is much bigger than staying in division 1. It's all about championship.
